McKenize practiced fully Thursday after being limited during Wednesday's session due to a shoulder injury.

The depth receiver and dangerous return man seems pretty likely to have a clear designation Friday ahead of the Bills' upcoming matchup with the rival Dolphins. McKenzie busted off 144 combined return yards in the Week 1 loss to the Steelers.

Cole (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, fellow WR Jamison Crowder came off the reserve/COVID-19 list but was limited Thursday due to a groin injury. Friday's practice therefore will determine if the duo, who missed Week 1 action, will approach Sunday's game against the Patriots with any sort of injury designation. If both players are available this weekend, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios likely would see reduced roles Week 2.

Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

The 24-year-old didn't participate at practice Wednesday due to the ankle injury, but his return Thursday should give him a chance to suit up Week 2. Arcega-Whiteside suffered the ankle injury during Sunday's season opener against Atlanta -- he wasn't targeted on 16 offensive snaps -- but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue.

Crowder, who has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, logged a limited practice Thursday due to a groin injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Prior to landing on the COVID-19 list, Crowder had been managing a groin issue, so it's possible that Thursday's limitations were precautionary. Meanwhile, fellow WR Keelan Cole (knee) also was limited Thursday, which sets the stage for Friday's practice to be key with regard to the health/availability of the team's wideout corps as Sunday's game against the Patriots approaches.

The Colts listed Strachan as a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury.

Thanks to T.Y. Hilton (neck) opening the season on injured reserve, Strachan earned a decent-sized role in his NFL debut Week 1 against the Seahawks. In the Colts' 28-16 loss, Strachan played 16 snaps as the team's No. 4 receiver and reeled in two targets for 26 yards. His mid-week addition to the Colts' injury report could indicate that he picked up the ankle issue during Thursday's practice session, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams in question. The Colts will wait and see what Strachan is able to do at Friday's practice before deciding whether he'll carry a designation into the weekend.

Brown (knee) returned to a full practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Brown was limited at practice Wednesday, but that was likely a case of the wideout's reps being managed, given that he's bouncing back from offseason knee procedures. In Week 1, Brown logged 52 of a possible 64 snaps on on offense in Tennessee's 38-13 loss to Arizona, en route to catching four of his eight targets for 49 yards and a TD. Barring any setbacks, he's on track for steady snaps and targets on a weekly basis in his starting WR role opposite Julio Jones.

Davis (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

After sitting out Wednesday's session, Davis' return to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Dolphins. Friday's final injury report of the week will reveal whether the Bills' No. 4 receiver heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared for Week 2 action.

Brown (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, so with another absence on tap Thursday what the wideout is able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against Kansas City. If Brown is limited or out this weekend, added snaps/targets would be available for Devin Duvernay, James Proche and Tylan Wallace.

Davis (ankle) was present for practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Davis sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to practice Thursday has the wideout headed in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Dolphins approaches. The Bills' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Davis practiced fully or was limited.

Crowder has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Crowder missed the Jets' season opener, but he is now on track to suit up Sunday against the Patriots and claim a share of the team's slot duties in Week 2. With Keelan Cole (knee) trending toward a return as well, it looks like New York's wideout corps could be at full strength this weekend.
