Beasley (hip/thumb) is back on the practice field Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

We'll see if Beasley gets a "limited" or "full" designation, but it sounds like minor aches and bruises and we're not really concerned about his status for the Week 3 tilt against the Rams. The slot receiver has produced a 9-128-0 line on 13 targets through two games.

Kirk (groin) isn't on the field for the open portion of Thursday's practice and will go down as a non-participant for the second straight day, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Kirk sustained the groin injury in the Cardinals' Week 2 win over Washington, and though he wasn't forced to exit the contest and played 61 percent of the offensive snaps, his movement was clearly affected by the issue. The Cardinals will see if the back-to-back maintenance days are enough for Kirk to heal up, but he'll likely need to practice in at least a limited fashion Friday just to garner a questionable designation heading into Sunday's game against the Lions. If Kirk ends up sitting out Week 3, added reps at receiver could be in store for Andy Isabella, Trent Sherfield and/or KeeSean Johnson.

Watson (shoulder) isn't participating in the open portion of Thursday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

For the second straight day, Watson is destined to go down as a non-participant in practice. Unless he's able to fit in some activity during Friday's session, Watson would be at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Broncos. If that's the case, the Buccaneers could keep rookie Tyler Johnson active as the No. 4 receiver behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller.

Crowder (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Meanwhile, coach Adam Gase indicated it's "doubtful" that Crowder will play against the Colts on Sunday. Breshad Perriman (ankle) is also trending toward a Week 3 absence, which sets the stage for Chris Hogan (ribs) and Braxton Berrios to head the team's wide receiver corps this weekend.

Reagor will have surgery Thursday to repair the torn UCL in his right thumb, Jeff Skversky of 6 ABC Philadelphia reports.

News of Reagor's thumb injury didn't surface until Wednesday, when he was a spectator in the Eagles' first Week 3 practice. Though he was able to play through the compromised thumb in Sunday's loss to the Rams, Reagor is now set to miss game action after going under the knife. The Eagles haven't outlined a timeline for Reagor return and may not until surgery is completed, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Wednesday that the rookie wideout is likely headed for injured reserve, which would keep him sidelined for at least three games.

Chark (chest) is moving in the right direction in advance of Thursday night's matchup against the Dolphins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Chark enters this week with a "questionable" tag after logging limited practice sessions Monday and Tuesday before sitting out Wednesday completely. It seems like this is something that can be chalked up to the Jaguars taking a cautious approach, but nonetheless, Chark's status will be worth checking up on prior to the team's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, when the final decision on his status will be made. Should Chark end up suiting up for his regular role, the matchup against Miami would be a favorable one. Through two games, the Dolphins have allowed the third-most standard fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, which includes a combined 30 catches for 454 yards and three touchdowns.

Cleveland (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Cleveland wasn't able to suit up against the Steelers in Week 2 due to a hip injury, but he now appears back to full health. The rookie seventh-round pick looks like he'll be available against the Buccaneers on Sunday, but he's not likely to materialize as a productive fantasy option.

Chark (chest/back), who is officially questionable for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Chark's lack of activity Wednesday is worth noting because the Jaguars listed him as limited both Monday and Tuesday. However, when asked about the wideout's Week 3 status, coach Doug Marrone said, "I just think we're being careful." Confirmation of Chark's Week 3 status will arrive when the Jaguars release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Harry was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday with an ankle injury.

Harry played through a shoulder injury in Sunday's 35-30 loss to Seattle, finishing with eight catches on 12 targets for 72 yards. At this stage in Week 3 prep, it's not yet known if the newly listed ankle issue is something that he's simply managing or indicative of an in-practice setback.

Adams, who didn't practice Wednesday, said a decision on whether he'll play through a strained hamstring will be made late in the week, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

Adams was held out of the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Lions out of an abundance of caution. The fact the Packers held a huge lead played a part in coach Matt LaFleur's thought process. On Wednesday, Adams also noted "it's too early to tell" where he stands at the moment, so his ability (or lack thereof) to return to the practice field Thursday and/or Friday may be the first tell for his availability for Sunday's game at New Orleans, which kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET.
