Brown (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Brown exited this past Sunday's game against the Texans in the second half with a shoulder injury that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday. Having said that, he was able to take part in some drills Thursday and appears to be trending in a positive direction. Friday's practice report will reveal if Brown has a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at San Francisco.

Miller failed to bring in his only target over 18 snaps in the Buccaneers' Week 3 win over the Jets, but he could be in line for a bigger role in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Eagles in the wake of Mike Evans missing the last two days of practice due to a hamstring injury, per Brianna Dix of the team's official site.

Miller had flashed with a 20-yard touchdown reception on his one catch during the Week 2 Monday night win over the Texans, but he couldn't break the stat sheet against New York. However, this Sunday's Week 4 clash with the Eagles could see Miller have some level of relevance, as, even if Chris Godwin (ankle) does make his season debut as a de facto No. 1 receiver in Evans' presumed absence, he could be on a snap limit. Consequently, Miller could share No. 4 receiver duties with rookie Tez Johnson in what could be a pass-heavy game plan for Tampa Bay. During Evans' Week 8-10 absence last season, Miller posted a 5-31-1 line on 11 targets while logging 112 snaps during that span.

Adams (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Adams hasn't practiced so far during Week 4 prep due to what coach Sean McVay has termed a sore hamstring, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. McVay also isn't concerned about Adams' availability for Sunday's game against the Colts, but ultimately Friday's injury report will unveil if the wide receiver has a designation entering the weekend.

White (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

White was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Tuesday, but he'll observe Thursday's game in street clothes. His next opportunity to play will be Week 5 against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Godwin (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Godwin is in the stretch run of his recovery from the dislocated left ankle that he sustained Week 7 of last season. Prior to logging a full practice Wednesday, he was listed as limited on five of six injury reports between Weeks 2 and 3 prep. Thursday's absence may merely be maintenance after he increased his activity level significantly Wednesday, as coach Todd Bowles told Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site. Friday's practice report will unveil if Godwin indeed has a chance to make his season debut Sunday versus the Eagles, which would be nice timing for Tampa Bay's offense with fellow WR Mike Evans (hamstring) expected to miss some time.

Vele (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Vele was unable to play against the Seahawks this past Sunday due to a hip issue. He has logged back-to-back limited practices to open the week, but he would likely avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Bills if he were to fully participate in Friday's session.

Evans (hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.

Evans limped off the field in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's game against the Jets and was quickly ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Evans was expected to undergo an MRI, and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the veteran wide receiver was in line to be sidelined for multiple weeks. Kicking off Week 4 prep with back-to-back DNPs implies that Evans is destined to be ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles, which the Buccaneers may do once they post their final practice report of the week Friday.

Worthy (shoulder) practiced fully again Thursday.

Worthy -- who suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the Chiefs' season opener -- has missed two straight games, but back-to-back full practices point to a return to action Sunday against the Ravens. Assuming that's the case, the main issue pertaining to Worthy's Week 4 fantasy viability is the possibility that he could be eased back into the lineup versus Baltimore.

Gould did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness.

The illness is a new issue, as the 2024 fifth-rounder did not appear on Wednesday's injury report. It's unclear how severe Gould's illness is, but Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Rams on Sunday. Gould has primarily served on special teams and has returned six kickoffs for 181 yards and two punts for four yards through the first three games of the regular season.

Lamb (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lamb now has missed both practices this week due to the high left-ankle sprain that's expected to sideline him for 3-to-4 weeks. However, the Cowboys have yet to make a ruling on his status for a Week 4 matchup with the Packers, something that may be confirmed as soon as the team posts its final injury report of the week Friday, or as late as 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. No matter when it happens, the Dallas passing game likely will feature WR George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson for at least the next few games, with WRs Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin also poised for larger roles.
