Perriman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Having begun the week with back-to-back limited practices is at least an indication that Perriman should be available against the Raiders on Sunday, considering that he's regularly had a cap on his reps since injuring his shoulder mid-November. Perriman has excelled as a deep threat in recent weeks, with 234 yards and three touchdowns over his last three games. He's averaging 21.3 yards per catch over that span.

Cephus (non-injury related) didn't practice Thursday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

Cephus has yet to get on the field this week with what's been called 'not injury related' on Lions practice reports. He's otherwise healthy, so if he's able to return to practice Friday, he'll be in a position to be a part of a receiving corps that may be without Kenny Golladay (hip) again Sunday in Chicago.

Agholor (ankle) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Agholor has now missed two consecutive practices due to an ankle injury, so it appears as though his availability for Sunday's road matchup against the Jets could be in legitimate jeopardy. The extent of Agholor's participation in Friday's final session of the week will likely be telling as to his chances of suiting up. Henry Ruggs, Hunter Renfrow, Bryan Edwards and Zay Jones will all stand to handle increased roles if Agholor misses time.

Lazard (core) was limited at practice Thursday.

Lazard has been quelled since recovering from core muscle surgery, totaling six catches (on 10 targets) for 41 yards and one touchdown over the last two games. His cause wasn't helped when he took a huge hit this past Sunday against the Bears, but he continues to be listed with 'core' on the injury report. Look for Lazard's status to receive some clarity once the Packers wrap up their week of practice.

Pascal (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Pascal was listed as questionable before avoiding the inactive list ahead of last week's loss to the Titans, but he looks poised to enter Sunday's game in Houston without an injury designation at all. The starting wideout has drawn multiple targets in each of the Colts' 11 games to date, but he's yet to produce an eye-popping line in any of those outings, topping out at five receptions, 58 receiving yards and one touchdown in any given week.

Thomas (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Thomas' practice reps continue to be impacted by the high-ankle sprain that he suffered in the season opener and sidelined him from Weeks 2 through 8. Still, he's been able to log a substantial snap count for four consecutive games and has been productive with Taysom Hill under center, racking up 13 catches (on 18 targets) for 154 yards over the last two contests. Friday's practice report could pave the way for Thomas to serve in his usual capacity Sunday in Atlanta.

Ridley (foot/ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Ridley maintained his activity for a second consecutive day, while Julio Jones (hamstring) followed up Wednesday's limited session with no practice Thursday. With Jones sidelined this past Sunday versus the Raiders, Ridley hauled in six of nine targets for 50 yards and a touchdown. Heavy volume could be in store for Ridley again Week 13 against the Saints if Jones sits out another game.

Hodge was added to the Browns' practice report after he was limited participant in Thursday's session due to a hamstring injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Hodge wasn't included on the initial Week 13 report the Browns provided Wednesday, so the hamstring injury may have been something he picked up midway through Thursday's session. The Browns will see what Hodge is able to do at Friday's practice before determining whether he'll carry an injury designation into Sunday's game in Tennessee. Since returning from injured reserve Week 8, Hodge has played between 30 and 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the Browns' four contests, compiling only six receptions for 104 yards and no touchdowns on nine targets.

Brown (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Missed practices have been fairly routine for Brown of late, but his listed hip issue is something new. We'll revisit the wideout's status no later than Friday to see if his Thursday absence was maintenance-related or indicative of his status for Sunday's game against the Browns being in any sort of danger.

Slayton (shoulder/foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton has yet to log a full session this week as he deals with shoulder and foot injuries. Still, there's been no indication that his status is threatened for Sunday's contest at Seattle, which may be confirmed as soon as the release of Friday's practice report.
