Jalen Reagor WR | MIA
Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Surprises with full practice session
Reagor (shoulder) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Reagor was initially expected to miss much of September after injuring his left shoulder in an Aug. 30 practice, but the rookie first-round pick has progressed far faster than the Eagles anticipated. After following up his limited showing in practice Wednesday with a full workout Thursday, Reagor suddenly looks poised to play in Sunday's season opener at Washington. If he does in fact get the green light to make his debut this weekend, Reagor could still be subjected to a restricted snap count, given how recently removed he is from the shoulder injury. That said, Reagor's availability in any capacity would be a big boon to an Eagles pass-catching corps that will likely be without Alshon Jeffery (foot), who missed his second straight practice Thursday.

Corey Davis WR | NYJ
Titans' Corey Davis: Logs limited practice
Davis (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
We'll have to see if Davis upgrades to full participation in advance of Monday night's game against the Broncos, but John Glennon of The Athletic isn't surprised to see the wideout's name on the Titans' initial injury report. Per Glennon, Davis' hamstring "seems to nag at him at least a few weeks of every season." Assuming he's a go in Week 1, Davis is slated to start opposite top option A.J. Brown, who heads into the team's opener minus an injury designation.

Diontae Johnson WR | CLE
Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Misses practice Thursday
Johnson (foot) didn't practice Thursday.
Per Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, this is a new issue for Johnson, who is one of just two players listed on the Steelers' initial Week 1 injury report. Johnson will have two more chances to return to practice in advance of Monday night's game against the Giants. James Washington would be in line for added work behind top wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster in Pittsburgh's opener if Johnson ends up limited or out.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Exits practice early
Sutton was forced out of practice early Thursday with an apparent shoulder injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Per the report, the Broncos' top wideout "stayed down for moment" after making a catch in practice. He then "shook his right shoulder a little bit" before heading to the locker room with a trainer. Look for an update on Sutton's status no later than when the team's Thursday injury report is posted.

DeVante Parker WR | PHI
Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Reps capped again
Parker (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Like Parker, Preston Williams (knee) was also limited for the second day in a row, but both of Miami's projected starting outside receivers are still expected to be good to go for Sunday's season opener at New England. Though he established himself as Miami's clear top target with a career-best 2019 campaign, Parker did the bulk of his damage over the final eight games while Williams was sidelined due to an ACL tear. Parker hauled in 44 passes for 802 yards in the back half of the Dolphins' schedule, which represented 61.1 percent and 66.7 percent of his production for the season in those respective categories.

Brandin Cooks WR | SF
Texans' Brandin Cooks: Optimism for Thursday night
There's "optimism" that Cooks (quad) will be able to play Thursday night against Kansas City, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
If that's the case, it remains to be seen how close to a full workload Cooks will be ready to handle, but if he does suit up he'll be part of a revamped Houston wideout corps that's moving on from DeAndre Hopkins, who logged 150 targets with the team in 2019. Also in the mix for looks on that front are Will Fuller, Randall Cobb and Kenny Stills.

Brandin Cooks WR | SF
Texans' Brandin Cooks: Questionable due to ongoing quad issue
The quad injury that has Cooks listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs is related to an issue that he managed during training camp, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
The report notes that Cooks was "in and out of camp" and "barely participated" in 11-on-11 work in that span. With that in mind, Reiss suspects that between the wideout's ongoing quad issue and the reduced volume of practice reps he's had with QB Deshaun Watson, Cooks could be limited Thursday night, if he's made active by the Texans. In the event that Cooks sits the opener out, Kenny Stills' profile in the team's Week 1 game plan would likely expand.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Likely to get full snap load Week 1
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that he expects Cooper (hamstring) to play at "full capacity" in the team's Week 1 matchup with the Rams, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Cooper already cleared up any concerns about his availability for the season opener by practicing fully Wednesday, but McCarthy's comments at least provide some reassurance that the wideout's workload likely won't be limited Sunday. After playing north of 85 percent of Dallas' offensive snaps in six of the team's first 10 games of 2019, Cooper failed to clear that benchmark in any of the Cowboys' final seven contests while he battled lower-body injuries. More concerning for Cooper than any snap-count restrictions is his matchup with Rams shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey, who held the receiver to one reception (for 19 yards) in Week 15 last season.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Not partaking in practice
Evans (hamstring) wasn't spotted on the field during the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Instead, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times notes that Evans worked outside on the field with team trainer Bobby Slater, while the Bucs' healthy players practiced indoors. With that in mind, Evans is poised to go down as a non-participant in practice for the second day in a row, leaving his availability for Sunday's season opener at New Orleans uncertain. Head coach Bruce Arians suggested that Evans could end up being a game-time call for the Week 1 matchup, but the wideout's activity (or lack thereof) in Friday's session should provide more insight into whether he's trending toward active or inactive status.

Keelan Doss WR | LV
Keelan Doss: Locks down practice squad spot
Doss signed with the Raiders' practice squad Sunday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Doss played eight games with the Raiders last season and recorded 11 catches for 133 yards. The team brought in reinforcements at wide receiver this offseason, and Doss failed to beat out Rico Gafford for the No. 6 WR role in Las Vegas. Doss will continue to develop on the practice squad while waiting for a potential spot to open up on the active roster.
