  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Sits out another practice

    Turpin (foot) did not practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Turpin hasn't practiced in any capacity since suffering a foot injury during the Cowboys' overtime tie with the Packers in Week 4, and he's already stated that he doesn't anticipate suiting up Week 6. With Turpin likely unavailable for Sunday's road game against the Panthers and CeeDee Lamb (ankle) also a candidate to remain sidelined, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, Ryan Flournoy and tight end Jake Freguson will continue benefiting from expanded opportunities in the receiving game.

  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Sits out practice Thursday

    Mingo (knee) didn't practice Thursday.

    After having his 21-day evaluation window opened Oct. 1, Mingo turned in a trio of limited practices last week, then upgraded to full participation Wednesday. He's regressed to no activity just one day later, though it's unclear if Mingo's absence Thursday was the result of a setback in his recovery from a PCL sprain in his right knee or simply a pre-planned maintenance day. Whatever the case, Mingo will likely need to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday in order for the Cowboys to consider activating him from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Still not practicing

    Lamb (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

    According to Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News, Lamb continues to focus on resistance training versus actual drills on the practice field, and he'll have just one more chance for on-field work Friday before the Cowboys potentially make a ruling on his availability for Week 6 action. If Lamb is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina, wideouts George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy, tight end Jake Ferguson and running back Javonte Williams will be the primary pass catchers at quarterback Dak Prescott's disposal.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Limited again Thursday

    Watson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Since the Packers designated him for return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, Watson has operated with a cap on his practice reps through two sessions, giving him just one more chance to prove his health this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Sunday's contest against the Bengals. Watson is seeking his first game action since tearing the ACL in his right knee Week 18 of last season.

  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Noah Brown: Limited in practice Thursday

    Brown (groin/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Head coach Dan Quinn clarified that Brown's absence, which dates back to Week 2 against the Packers, has been related primarily to his groin injury rather than the knee injury that bothered Brown during camp, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Brown seems to be a step ahead in his recovery compared to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), who was listed as a non-participant Thursday. Both receivers are hoping to return from multi-week absences Monday against the Bears.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Works on side field Thursday

    Pearsall (knee) was working on the side with a sleeve on his right leg during Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Pearsall has yet to practice since picking up a minor PCL injury in his right knee during a Week 4 loss to the Jaguars, but GM John Lynch said Thursday that the second-year wide receiver "hasn't given up hope" on playing Sunday in Tampa Bay, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. In the end, though, Pearsall likely will need to mix into drills Friday to put himself in a position to do so.

  • 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Back at practice

    Jennings (ankle/rib) returned to practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    This marks Jennings' first on-field work since Week 4 prep as he tends to lingering ankle and rib injuries. GM John Lynch said earlier Thursday that Jennings may be limited at the 49ers' upcoming session and also return for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. The team's second Week 6 practice report will reveal Jennings' activity level Thursday, but he likely will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation entering the weekend.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Logs full practice Thursday

    St. Brown (wrist) practiced fully Thursday.

    After sitting out Wednesday's session due to a wrist injury, St. Brown was spotted on the practice field Thursday, and his activity level indicates that the issue isn't much of a concern. He'll thus turn his focus to a Chiefs defense Sunday that has allowed 7.5 YPT (21st in the NFL) and just four touchdown catches to wide receivers in five games this season.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Practices in full again

    Pierce (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Pierce has missed two straight games but has now logged back-to-back full practices sessions, so he appears to be nearing a return from the concussion protocol. Friday's practice figures to be key for Pierce, who will also need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before being eligible to return to the starting lineup alongside Michael Pittman and Josh Downs. He's working to gain clearance in time for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Back to FP while Austin stays DNP

    Skowronek (illness) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Skowronek was a full go Thursday after being limited by an illness Wednesday. He could see additional opportunities Sunday against the Browns if Calvin Austin (shoulder) is unable to play. Austin didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday or Thursday.
