Coach Sean McVay said Cooks (concussion) will return to action Monday against the Ravens, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Cooks practiced in full Thursday, after which he spoke to the media. "I'm just extremely blessed to play this game and to be able to come back out here with the guys and prep for another game," he said. "I don't take that for granted." Cooks has completed his recovery from the fifth known concussion of his playing career -- and second of the campaign -- so there's always the risk that another hit will send him to the sideline. No matter, he'll set that aside and turn his focus to Baltimore, whose defense has contained wide receivers to 7.6 yards per target and six touchdowns in 10 contests this season.

Lockett (shin) was limited at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett is putting himself into a position to suit up Sunday at Philadelphia with activity in both Week 12 sessions to date. Considering he's only a little more than a week removed from a two-day stay in the hospital to reduce swelling in his left shin, he remains a question mark, but the Seahawks will have an opportunity to clear up his status on Friday's injury report.

Reynolds didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Reynolds enjoyed some recent success due to the opportunity at hand, earning at least 89 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last three games. During that span, he hauled in nine of 19 targets for 177 yards and one touchdown. As Reynolds tends to an illness, the Rams welcomed back Robert Woods following a one-game absence to tend to a family matter, while Brandin Cooks has nearly completed his journey through the concussion protocol. If both are active Monday versus the Ravens, Reynolds will return to a bit role in the Rams' receiving corps.

Cooks (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

Cooks seems to have completed his recovery from a concussion, as he spoke Thursday. One condition of the protocol for head injuries is no contact with the media, but he told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that it "never went through my mind" when asked if he contemplated retirement after suffering the fifth recorded concussion of his playing career Week 8. The Rams haven't officially announced that Cooks was cleared by an independent neurologist, but his comments along with the uninhibited session Thursday both are signs of full recovery.

Moore (thumb) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Moore appears to have a shot at suiting up against the Rams on Monday. The 26-year-old has missed Baltimore's last two contests. If he's is indeed able to retake the field Week 12, Moore projects to play his usual role on special teams.

Coutee (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Colts.

Will Fuller's (hamstring) return from a three-game absence looks like it will be enough to bump Coutee to the inactive list, as Houston will go with four wideouts in Week 12. Though Coutee played 44 offensive snaps to DeAndre Carter's four in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, the latter's standing as the team's top return man allowed him to maintain an active status over Coutee.

Samuel (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After picking up a shoulder injury this past Sunday versus the Cardinals, Samuel was a DNP on Wednesday before sporting a blue non-contact jersey Thursday, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. Samuel has kept the door open for an appearance Sunday against the Packers but will help his cause by increasing his activity level by week's end.

Cooper relayed after Thursday's practice that he's moved past the knee injury that limited him during the Cowboys' Week 11 win over the Lions, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports. "I'm good. Everything is good. I'm a lot better," Cooper said.

Cooper's positive outlook regarding his health was seemingly supported by his full participation in both of the Cowboys' first two practices of Week 12. After handling his second-lowest snap share (55 percent) of the season last week, expect Cooper to be back over the 85 percent mark during Sunday's game versus New England.

Adams (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice.

The Packers are taking no chances with Adams' lingering toe, even after their bye week. Still, there's been no indication Adams is in danger of missing the Sunday night showdown at San Francisco. Expect the team to clarify Adams' standing on Friday's practice report.

Patrick (shoulder) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Patrick sat out Wednesday's session, so his return to practice Thursday suggests that he's trending toward being active Sunday against the Bills. Look for Friday's injury report to either officially list him as questionable, or minus a Week 12 injury tag.
