Davis (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Davis continues to progress in his recovery from a concussion sustained during a Week 8 loss to the Bengals. The depth wideout has missed two consecutive games while in the league's concussion protocol, and he should be considered questionable for Monday's contest against the 49ers. If Davis is unable to suit up, expect one of Odell Beckham, Corey Coleman or Antonio Hamilton to serve as the Giants' starting kick returner.

Robinson (groin) termed himself "100 percent" Thursday, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Robinson backed up his comment with another full practice session Thursday, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. By avoiding any setbacks with the groin injury that forced absences the past two contests, Robinson is in line to take on a Lions defense Sunday that has allowed just shy of 10.0 yards per target and 10 touchdowns to wide receivers in eight games this season.

Evans (knee) turned in a limited practice Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Evans was a spectator for the Buccaneers' first session of the week due to the ankle issue, with his absence believed to be maintenance-related more than anything. Coach Dirk Koetter and offensive coordinator Todd Monken both confirmed as much Thursday, saying that they fully expect Evans to play Sunday against the Redskins, per Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site. After the Panthers held him to one reception on 10 targets in Week 9, Evans will look to bounce back against a Washington secondary that could be missing starting cornerback Quinton Dunbar (shin).

Cobb (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The Packers listed Cobb as a full participant in practice to open the week, so it's somewhat discouraging that his involvement was scaled back a day later. It's possible that Cobb's limitations were part of a pre-planned maintenance program, as the wideout had been sidelined for three games with the same injury before playing each of the past two weeks. Assuming Cobb hasn't experienced any sort of setback and is cleared to play this weekend against the Dolphins, he should handle his usual duties as the Packers' primary slot man. Cobb might also benefit from some extra volume in the passing game with Geronimo Allison (hamstring) now on injured reserve, though rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling looks to be a more direct beneficiary.

Grant (Achilles) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Grant's reps were also limited Wednesday, but the Dolphins likely wouldn't have cleared him to practice at all if there were truly any concern about his health. In any case, Grant would clear up any lingering doubt about his availability for Sunday's game against the Packers by practicing fully Friday. The wideout was held to one reception for 16 yards on two targets in the 13-6 win over the Jets in Week 9 and looks to be trending down with Kenny Stills (groin) nearing full health and DeVante Parker having emerged from exile to log big snap shares the past two games.

Crowder (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Crowder followed up participation in the team stretch with reps during wide receiver drills, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. The preceding was the impetus for Crowder's limited listing, but he may have to progress to the team portion of practice to be cleared for game action. Friday's session will provide the wide receiver with that chance, at which point the Redskins will make a ruling on his potential to play Sunday in Tampa Bay. If he puts an end to a four-game absence, Crowder would take over the slot role in the offense, relegating Maurice Harris to spot snaps at that position and more work as an outside receiver.

Holmes (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Holmes only practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, but was able to shake that tag and log a full practice Thursday. As evidenced by this news, all signs point to Holmes suiting up in Week 10. The 30-year-old hasn't made a big impact on offense thus far, so it's possible he'll still be limited to a depth role in the passing game to go along with special-teams work.

Evans (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Evans kicked off last week with no participation in the initial practice but built up to full by Friday's session. He seems to be doing the same this week, but his activity level Thursday won't be known until the Buccaneers release their second Week 10 injury report.

Crowder (ankle) was present at Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

After taking part in the team stretch, Crowder was seen jogging and even caught a pass, according to Keim. Both activities were Crowder's first since injuring his ankle Week 5, a span in which he's missed four consecutive games. It remains to be seen if the activity is enough to warrant a limited designation on Thursday's injury report, but he appears to be making measurable progress this week.

Anderson (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

The receiver thus looks on track for a non-participation listing for both of the Jets' first two practices of the week. The Jets will see what Anderson is able to do at practice Friday before ruling on his status for Sunday's game against the Bills, but there's a real possibility he'll carry an injury designation into the weekend. If Anderson is able to shake off the injury and suit up for the second straight week, he may have to catch passes from Josh McCown for the first time all season with Sam Darnold (foot) at risk of missing the contest.
