Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Despite logging no practice reps last week, Valdes-Scantling still suited up this past Sunday against the Raiders, ripping off two catches (on three targets) for 133 yards and one touchdown while playing 33 percent of the offensive snaps. He was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough before taking a step back Thursday, so his status will be one to monitor as the weekend approaches.

Adams (toe) was held out of practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Adams went through a similar routine for the second straight day, taking part in stretches and warmups before heading indoors at the start of position drills. After the session, he elaborated on his recovery from a toe injury. "I'm a little limited right now, but for the most part I can do a lot of different footwork stuff," he told Schneidman. "It's just the full-speed routes right now that are a little tougher for me. So I'm trying to fight through that, but I'm in a really good spot right now." Despite his optimism, Adams' inability to participate in any on-field work isn't a great sign that he's closing in on a return to action. Friday's practice report should shed some light on his chances to play Sunday night at Kansas City.

A knee issue limited Crowder at Thursday's practice.

Crowder practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the team's Week 8 injury report is concerning. We'll circle back on his status Friday to get a better read as to whether Crowder's setback was minor, or one that could threaten his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Allen didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Allen appeared on the Chargers' injury report earlier this season due to a knee issue, but the hamstring injury is a new concern for the wideout. He may have tweaked something in the aftermath of Wednesday's practice, as the Chargers didn't include him on their initial Week 8 injury report. Allen's status now becomes something his fantasy managers need to monitor heading into Sunday's game against the Bears.

Campbell (abdomen) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Campbell has taken a step forward in his recovery from abdominal surgery by practicing on a limited basis two days in a row, but he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday if the Colts are to sign off on him playing Sunday against Denver. While Campbell has been sidelined the past two games, Zach Pascal (seven catches for 114 yards and two touchdowns) seems to have at least temporarily separated himself from the Colts' other depth wideouts behind No. 1 target T.Y. Hilton.

Kirk (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.

Kirk has maintained the same workload in practice for three consecutive weeks, which wasn't enough for him to suit up on the first two occasions. As a result, he may have to practice without limitations Friday in order to have a chance to suit up Sunday in New Orleans. If Kirk is inactive for a fourth game in a row, Pharoh Cooper again will be called upon for slot reps behind top option Larry Fitzgerald.

Smith-Schuster missed Thursday's practice due to an illness.

Smith-Schuster has ample time to recover in advance of Monday night's game against the Dolphins, so his absence from Thursday's practice isn't too worrisome. We'll revisit the wideout's status Friday to see if he's able to get back on the field for the Steelers' second session of the week.

The Jets are listening to trade offers on Anderson as the Oct. 29 deadline approaches and have made it clear to teams that the receiver can be had for the right price, sources tell Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.

Mehta notes that Anderson drew interest from the Eagles at the trade deadline last year, but the Jets rebuffed all offers and Philadelphia ultimately turned its focus to acquiring Golden Tate. This time around, the Jets are likely more inclined to move Anderson, given the 1-5 club's place in the AFC standings in addition to the 26-year-old's status as a pending unrestricted free agent. Anderson, who ranks second on the Jets with 266 receiving yards this season, would have appeal to playoff-contending teams looking for a deep-ball threat on the outside.

Dorsett (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Dorsett was limited Wednesday, but his full participation Thursday confirms that he'll be fine for Sunday's game against the Browns. The wideout was on the field for 88 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in Monday night's 33-0 win over the Jets, en route to hauling in three of his four targets for 46 yards and a TD. Since then, Josh Gordon (knee) landed on IR, while Mohamed Sanu joined the team via a trade with the Falcons. In that context, Dorsett is in line to continue to see his share of snaps and targets in the coming weeks, though he could eventually lose touches to rookie N'Keal Harry, who is eligible to come off IR next week.

Davis (illness) returned to a full practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

An illness led to Davis sitting out Wednesday's session, but now that he's returned to a full practice, the wideout is slated to start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Last weekend, in QB Ryan Tannehill's first start of the season, Davis logged a season-high six catches (on seven targets) for 80 yards and a TD in the Titans' 23-20 win over the Chargers. If the duo's chemistry continues to build, Davis -- who has averaged 45.3 receiving yards per game thus far -- could see an uptick in fantasy utility going forward.
