  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Uncapped practice Thursday

    Reynolds (hand) was a full practice participant Thursday, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Coach Sean McVay told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that Reynolds injured his hand during the Rams' Week 6 win at Denver. Reynolds logged a limited practice Wednesday as a result, but it won't stop him from entering the starting lineup Sunday in San Francisco. He'll be tasked with keeping the Rams' vaunted passing attack running on all cylinders sans Cooper Kupp, who has been ruled out for at least this weekend due to an MCL sprain.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    49ers' Dante Pettis: No practice reps Thursday

    Pettis (knee) was held out of practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Pettis dabbled with practice Wednesday for the first time since hurting his left knee Week 4, but the experiment seemingly didn't go as planned. He was ruled out on the 49ers' final injury report before both of the previous two games, forecasting coach Kyle Shanahan's potential thought process with the rookie wide receiver.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Falcons' Calvin Ridley: Doesn't participate Thursday

    Ridley (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Ridley was active at various points during the session, warming up, stretching with the training staff, and catching passes from quarterbacks, per Jason Butt of The Athletic. However, the activity wasn't enough for Ridley to receive a 'limited' designation. With a bone bruise of his left ankle in tow, any practice reps that he fits in Friday or Saturday may be determined by pain tolerance.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Doesn't take part in practice Thursday

    Robinson (groin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Robinson made a surprise appearance on the Bears' first Week 7 injury report due to a groin issue that left him limited. According to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Robinson's limitations were believed to be maintenance-related more than anything, but his absence from practice entirely Thursday casts renewed doubt about his status. There's been no communication from coach Matt Nagy about whether Robinson is in danger of missing action, but the Bears will be required to give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots to wrap up the week.

  • Jehu Chesson WR | NYJ

    Redskins' Jehu Chesson: Promoted to active roster

    Chesson was promoted to the active roster Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Chesson's signing comes following the news that Jamison Crowder (ankle) is expected to miss multiple weeks. The second-year wideout rejoins the Redskins' 53-man roster after being waived in Week 2 and will serve a depth role against the Cowboys on Sunday. Though an opportunity for offensive snaps is available, it appears likely that Chesson will predominantly play on special teams.

  • Redskins' Jamison Crowder: Likely sidelined 'a few weeks'

    Crowder (ankle) is expected to miss the next few games, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    After sitting out a second straight practice Thursday, Crowder was seen on a scooter with a walking boot on his foot, according to Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post. There's been no formal announcement from the Redskins regarding Crowder and his ability to play Sunday and beyond, but Rapoport noted the wide receiver underwent an MRI, which eliminated the possibility of an extended absence. If Crowder indeed needs to take a seat for multiple weeks, Jordan Reed could become the unquestioned No. 1 option in the passing attack due to the injuries currently befalling Paul Richardson (shoulder/knee) and receiving back Chris Thompson (ribs/knee). Meanwhile, the remaining healthy wide receivers are Josh Doctson, Maurice Harris, Brian Quick, Michael Floyd and Jehu Chesson.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Falcons' Calvin Ridley: Limited in practice Thursday

    Ridley (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Ridley made his presence felt throughout the session, taking part in warmups, stretching with the team's trainer (per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), and catching passes from quarterbacks (according to Jason Butt of The Athletic). All of Ridley's activity took place without a helmet and shells, though, so he still has a few steps to take before getting the all-clear to play through a bone bruise in his left ankle Monday versus the Giants.

  • Texans' DeAndre Hopkins: Sits out practice Thursday

    Hopkins (foot) did not practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    On Wednesday, Hopkins joined Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Will Fuller (hip) as limited participants. While his fellow wideouts maintained that level of work Thursday, Hopkins was downgraded to "did not participate." It remains to be seen if that is indicative of a setback, or simply a case of the high-volume pass-catcher getting a maintenance day. Added clarity on that front will arrive no later than Friday, upon the release of the Texans' final Week 7 injury report.

  • Kendall Wright WR | MIN

    Kendall Wright: Dropped by Arizona

    The Cardinals released Wright on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Wright's stay in the desert lasted just under two weeks, with the veteran wideout serving as a healthy inactive during the Cardinals' lone game of that span. With safety Tre Boston (shoulder) ruled out for Thursday's game against the Broncos, the Cardinals were eager to bolster their depth in the secondary, so cornerback Deatrick Nichols was signed off the practice squad to take Wright's spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Redskins' Jamison Crowder: Using scooter, wearing boot Thursday

    Crowder (ankle) was seen moving about the Redskins' locker room Thursday with a scooter and a walking boot on his foot, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    After failing to practice for a second day in a row Thursday, as expected, Crowder doesn't seem like a great bet to suit up Sunday versus the Cowboys. Another absence Friday likely would confirm that notion, but at least he has one more chance to prove the health of his ankle. In the end, though, coach Jay Gruden has called Crowder "iffy" all week, according to Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post.
