Davis (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Davis was not listed on the Titans' injury report Wednesday, so his addition to it Thursday makes the wideout's status worth monitoring leading up to Sunday night's game against the Colts, a matchup that will determine Tennessee's postseason fate.

Pascal (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Pascal was limited Wednesday, so his downgrade to "did not practice" Thursday suggests that the receiver not a lock to suit up Sunday against the Titans. Added clarity on that front will arrive Friday, upon the release of the Colts' final Week 17 injury report.

Hopkins (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Hopkins might not be cleared for full participation Friday in the Texans' final practice of the week, but there doesn't seem to be any real concern for his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. After first tweaking his ankle in the Week 15 win over the Jets, Hopkins took a questionable designation into the Week 16 loss to the Eagles, but ultimately played every snap of the contest and finished with nine receptions for 104 yards.

The Texans listed Coutee (hamstring) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

The activity level represents no change from Wednesday and essentially the entire season, as Coutee has missed games on three different occasions as a result of hamstring issues. Unless he puts in a full practice Friday, there may not be a clear indication of what direction Coutee's status is trending in for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. DeAndre Carter would operate as the Texans' primary slot man if Coutee's latest hamstring setback ultimately forces a fifth consecutive absence.

Shepard (hip) practiced in full Thursday.

The Giants scaled back Shepard's practice reps Wednesday due to a hip issue, but the third-year pro returned to full capacity one day later. Fellow member of the receiving corps Odell Beckham (quadriceps) is trending toward a fourth consecutive absence, leaving Shepard to act as the No. 1 wideout yet again Sunday against the Cowboys. In his first three opportunities, Shepard posted a 10-167-1 line on 22 targets, with most of that production coming Week 16 at Indianapolis (six catches on seven targets for 113 yards).

Boyd (knee) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Boyd has followed up an absence in his team's Week 16 loss to the Browns with no activity in practices Wednesday and Thursday. At this point, his chances of making it back for Sunday's season finale against the Steelers appear remote, but the Bengals will likely wait and see what he's able to do (or not do) at Friday's practice before making a ruling on his status.

Holmes (ankle) wasn't taking part in the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Holmes' inability to practice for the second straight day adds further credence to the report Mike Klis of 9News Denver issued Wednesday, wherein the wideout was revealed to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain that will likely keep him sidelined for the season finale against the Chargers. The Broncos will officially reveal Holmes' odds of playing in that contest or rule him out entirely when the team releases its final practice report Friday.

Cobb was cleared from the concussion protocol Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

After the Packers' Week 15 loss in Chicago, Cobb was diagnosed with a head injury, entered the NFL's protocol and made no on-field appearances through Wednesday's practice. However, he fit in some activity Thursday prior to Demovsky's report, a combo that sets Cobb up to return for the season finale. If Davante Adams plays through a knee injury as expected Sunday against the Lions, the Packers receiving corps may just be down one player, rookie Equanimeous St. Brown, who entered the concussion protocol this past Sunday.

Beckham (quadriceps) was held out of Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

After back-to-back DNPs to open Week 17 prep, Beckham seems more likely than not to miss a fourth game in a row to wrap up the 2018 campaign. The Giants may confirm as much well before the release of inactives for the season finale, as they've done with Beckham for each of the past three contests. With Russell Shepard (ankle) also trending in the wrong direction, the trio of Sterling Shepard (hip), Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley can prepare for a healthy dose of targets yet again.

Coach Matt Nagy doesn't expect Robinson (ribs) to take part in Thursday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

If Robinson is indeed absent, it would mark his second DNP in as many days as he tends to a rib injury. His activity level will be disclosed on the Bears' second Week 17 practice report.
