Waddle (shoulder) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

Waddle was on the field for 82 percent of the Dolphins' snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots, a game in which he caught five of six targets for 68 yards and a TD. He wasn't listed on Monday's practice estimate, but he then was deemed a limited participant in Tuesday's session, as well as on Wednesday's estimated injury report. With the Thursday availability of Waddle (who had been officially listed as questionable) confirmed, assuming no limitations or setbacks he'll be in a position to maintain his key role in Miami's passing offense opposite fellow starting WR Tyreek Hill, with Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge also in the mix.

Palmer (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

It's a downgrade for Palmer after he was limited in Wednesday's practice, and it would seem to indicate he was injured during the day's session. Palmer was a healthy inactive each of the Saints' first two contests.

McConkey (biceps) practiced fully Thursday.

After not practicing Wednesday due to a listed biceps issue, McConkey was full a day later while sporting a brace on his left arm/shoulder, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The wideout's upgrade to all on-field participation Thursday paves the way for him to maintain his key role Sunday against the Broncos in a Chargers WR corps that also features Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen. Through two regular-season games to date, McConkey has recorded an 11-122-0 line on 14 targets.

Turpin (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Turpin was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, though the Cowboys had merely held a walkthrough practice. In any case, Turpin now looks ready to rock for Sunday's road game against the Bears. Turpin's neck injury forced him to depart Week 2 against the Giants early, but before leaving the field he brought in all four of his targets for 47 yards and a score while racking up six rushing yards on two carries.

Vele (hip) was limited in practice Thursday.

Vele wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, an indication that his hip issue may have been sustained during Thursday's practice. The extent of Vele's activity level at Friday's practice may go a long way in determining his availability for Sunday's road game against the Seahawks. He brought in his only target for three yards and a touchdown Week 2 versus the 49ers.

Washington (concussion) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

Washington remains in the league's concussion protocol, and he'll likely need to log a full practice Friday if he's going to have any chance of playing Sunday against the Panthers.

Carter (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Carter was concussed in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and will need to clear the league's protocol in order to play this week against the Packers. The veteran wide receiver and kick returner has yet to play on offense this season but has returned five kickoffs for 118 yards and three punts for 41 yards.

McConkey (biceps) is on the field for the early portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

McConkey missed Wednesday's practice due to a biceps issue but appears to be handling at least limited reps Thursday, per Popper, while wearing a brace on his left arm/shoulder. The Chargers' official practice report, to be released later Thursday afternoon, will provide clarity on McConkey's activity level, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see the second-year pro back on the field in advance of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Thomas (wrist) was limited at practice Thursday.

Thomas was deemed a full participant Wednesday, so his limited session a day later is notable. However, it's possible that the listing is indicative of rep management as opposed to a setback, with Friday's final injury report slated to add further context regarding Thomas' availability for Sunday's game against the Texans, either way.

Brown (groin) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.

Brown suffered the groin injury last Thursday night against the Packers and has yet to practice since, putting his status in serious question for Week 3 against the Raiders. If Brown can't play against Las Vegas, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey and Chris Moore would be next up for snaps behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.
