Pryor (groin) isn't present for Thursday's practice due to a personal matter, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Pryor's groin injury limited his participation in Wednesday's practice, but a family illness is at the root of his non-participation Thursday. The wideout intends to return to practice Friday, so it appears he's in little jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Colts. Though he'll benefit from a matchup with a banged-up Indianapolis secondary, Pryor hasn't been a high-priority option in the New York passing game since Week 2. Over the Jets' last three games, Pryor has been targeted a combined five times, hauling in two receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown.

Cobb (hamstring) will be limited to working out with the Packers' rehab group during Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Cobb is thus expected to be listed as a non-participant when the Packers release their first practice report of Week 6. The wideout relayed earlier in the week that he was hopeful to return from a two-game absence to suit up Monday against the 49ers, but he'll need to take part in practice in some capacity either of the next two days to have a legitimate chance of playing. If Green Bay is without Cobb for another week, his absence would be cushioned to some degree by the likely return of fellow wideout Geronimo Allison, who cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday.

Kupp (concussion) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Coach Sean McVay said earlier Wednesday that Kupp and Brandin Cooks (concussion) took part in a walkthrough, which equates to a limited designation for most squads. Not so for the Rams. No matter, McVay told Hammond that he "feels good" about both receivers' potential to play Sunday at Denver. An actual appearance at practice Thursday would put Kupp and Cooks on the road to active status in Week 6.

Cooks (concussion) was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Coach Sean McVay said earlier in the day that Cooks and Cooper Kupp (concussion) participated in a walkthrough, which equates to a limited designation for most teams. That apparently isn't the case for the Rams, however. Still, McVay told Hammond that he "feels good" about both wideouts' chances of being able to play Sunday in Denver. An actual appearance at practice Thursday would put Cooks and Kupp on the path toward active statuses in Week 6.

Sutton was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.

Sutton's ability to practice in any capacity suggests he merely suffered a minor injury during Sunday's 34-16 loss to the Jets. He caught two of six targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in that contest, oddly playing more snaps (77 percent) than teammate Demaryius Thomas (61 percent). The rookie is averaging 5.2 targets and 50 snaps per game, but he's been utterly inefficient with his opportunities, catching just 10 of 26 passes for 160 yards and the lone touchdown. Sutton does at least seem to have solid security in the No. 3 receiver spot, and his Week 6 opponent (the Rams) has surrendered 28.3 points per game over the past three contests.

Crowder (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

The Redskins merely held a walk-through session, but coach Jay Gruden said Crowder and fellow wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) wouldn't have participated if Wednesday's session included individual and team drills. Consequently, the health of the pair will be watched closely as the weekend draws closer.

Coutee (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

DeAndre Hopkins (foot) and Will Fuller (hamstring) were limited as well, but it's expected all three wideouts will be ready to go Sunday against the Bills. The Texans ran plenty of three-receiver sets in the Week 5 win over the Cowboys, with Coutee turning his 57 offensive snaps (out of a possible 80) into six catches on seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown.

Hopkins (foot) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

The same limited listing applies to fellow wideouts Keke Coutee (hamstring) and Will Fuller (hamstring). That said, Hopkins was on the field for all 80 of the Texans' offensive snaps in the Week 5 win over the Cowboys and reported no injury coming out of the contest. It's thus suspected his limitations Wednesday were mainly maintenance-related.

Coach Sean McVay said Kupp (concussion) took part in Wednesday's walkthrough and "feels good" about the wide receiver suiting up Sunday in Denver, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Considering McVay's comments, Kupp seems as if he'll be listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, but both he and Brandin Cooks are still in the concussion protocol. If even one of the pair doesn't gain clearance from an independent neurologist prior to Sunday's contest, Josh Reynolds would be in line for a significant uptick in offensive snaps in three-receiver sets.

Coach Sean McVay said Cooks (concussion) participated in Wednesday's walkthrough and "feels good" about the wide receiver's chances of playing Sunday at Denver, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Considering McVay's comments, Cooks seems destined to be listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, but both he and Cooper Kupp are still in the concussion protocol. If even one of the duo doesn't gain clearance from an independent neurologist prior to Sunday's game, Josh Reynolds would be in line for a significant share of the offensive snaps in three-receiver sets.
