Jennings (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Rams.

Jennings received a scare last week when the Seahawks waived him, only to rescind the request. Otherwise, he's been a healthy scratch for all five games this season. The 2019 fourth-rounder will wait another week for his potential NFL debut.

Updating a previous report, Perriman (hamstring) was classified as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

The Buccaneers' official site listed Perriman as a limited participant in their second session of the week, but the wideout apparently wasn't able to put in any work with his healthy teammates in the end. More clarity on Perriman's situation will come following Friday's practice, when the Buccaneers will reveal his level of participation in addition to making a call on whether or not he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Saints. Through four games, Perriman has corraled only three of his 12 targets for 16 yards and no touchdowns.

Williams (back) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Consecutive limited practices have Williams trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Broncos approaches, but it remains to be seen if he heads into that contest listed as questionable, or free from a Week 5 injury designation.

Byrd (hamstring) was held out of practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Byrd replicated his listing from Wednesday's injury report, but he was seen working out on a side field Thursday, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. Still, because Byrd and fellow wideout Christian Kirk (ankle) are slated to sit out Sunday at Cincinnati, the Cardinals will be sending out Trent Sherfield and KeeSean Johnson as their primary outside receivers, with Andy Isabella available for those snaps as well.

Kirk (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Although he officially received a second consecutive DNP, Kirk was spotted working out on a side field and catching passes with a brace on his ankle, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. Such an observation backs up the belief of coach Kliff Kingsbury that Kirk's injury "could have been a lot worse," according to Kyle Odegard of the team's official site. Kirk is trending toward inactive status Sunday in Cincinnati, which will open the door for recent pickup Pharoh Cooper to earn snaps out of the slot along with Larry Fitzgerald.

Hill (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, the Chiefs don't seem inclined to rush Hill back into action this weekend against the Colts, with coach Andy Reid so far noncommittal about the wideout's availability for the contest. We'll revisit Hill's status Friday, but it seems likely he'll be listed as questionable for Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff.

Perriman (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

According to Greg Auman of The Athletic, Perriman wasn't present during the portion of the session open to the media, but the fifth-year wide receiver eventually made it to the field and fit in enough reps to put Wednesday's absence in the rearview mirror. Perriman will look to get rid of his designation entirely at Friday's practice and on the Bucs' ensuing injury report.

Smith (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Smith was active back-to-back days for the first time since injuring his ankle during a Week 2 loss to the Rams. While he's trending in the right direction, his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers won't be clarified until the Saints release their final Week 5 injury report Friday.

Cooper (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Cooper upped his practice reps from Wednesday's limited showing, clearing up his health along the way. On Sunday, he'll look to take advantage of a Packers defense that has allowed an NFL-high 16.5 yards per catch to wide receivers this season

Godwin (hip) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.

Godwin followed a DNP/DNP/LP practice regimen last week, only to tear up the Rams this past Sunday for 12 catches, 172 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets. After being held out of practice Wednesday, he's ahead of that schedule, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to shed his injury designation entirely ahead of Sunday's visit to New Orleans.
