Mooney (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Mooney was limited in practice Wednesday after having made his season debut Week 2 versus the Vikings, in which he handled 86 percent of offensive snaps and secured two of four targets for 20 yards. To see Mooney now practicing in full offers confirmation that he'll be available Sunday on the road against Carolina. Mooney will look to get more involved versus the Panthers, though he may have difficulty delivering fantasy value in what's been a run-first Atlanta offense through the first two games of the season.

Robinson (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Robinson continues to nurse a foot injury he evidently sustained during New York's loss to Dallas in Week 2. As long as he's able to log at least limited reps again Friday, though, Robinson seems like a solid candidate to gain clearance in time for Sunday night's home game against the Chiefs. Robinson has commanded a total of 18 targets across two regular-season appearances so far, and in Week 2 he translated 10 of those looks into a tremendous 8-142-1 receiving line.

Slayton (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton's final chance to upgrade to full practice reps will come Friday, but after back-to-back limited sessions it appears he has a solid chance to suit up Sunday night versus the Chiefs. If cleared to play Week 3, Slayton will continue operating as the No. 3 receiver behind Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson (foot) for New York.

Legette (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Legette has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a hamstring injury, meaning Friday will be his final opportunity to upgrade to full reps ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Falcons. Through two regular-season appearances thus far, Legette has managed just four catches for eight yards despite having drawn 15 targets.

Walker (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Walker played 11 snaps on special teams in Week 1 but missed last Sunday's loss to the Lions with the ankle injury. He'll resume his special-teams and depth wideout role in Week 3 against the Cowboys.

The Saints released Wilson from the practice squad Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

The 29-year-old Wilson was apart of New Orleans' final cuts this summer and signed back with the practice squad ahead of Week 1. He's yet to play in a regular-season game this season.

Downs (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

As did TE Tyler Warren (toe) after the duo didn't participate in Wednesday's session. The Colts' upcoming injury report will clarify Downs' participation level, but the wideout's return to the field Thursday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Titans.

Egbuka (hip/groin) was not spotted at the early open portion of practice open to the media but is expected to participate Thursday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Egbuka missed practice Wednesday due to hip and groin injuries, but he's expected to log at least limited reps Thursday, which would bode well for his chances of gaining clearance in time for Sunday's contest against the Jets. If Egbuka is able to suit up versus New York, he'll again be positioned as one of the Buccaneers' clear top options in the receiving game alongside Mike Evans. Chris Godwin (ankle) is practicing but is not expected to make his return Week 3.

Waddle (shoulder) will determine his availability for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Bills via a pre-game workout, though there is optimism he will play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Waddle is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's road matchup at Buffalo after having popped up as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice. After posting a dud in the regular-season opener, Miami's offense bounced back nicely versus the Patriots in Week 2, a contest that saw Waddle haul in five of six targets for 68 yards and a score. Managing similar production on a short week versus a Bills defense that held the Jets to a combined 154 yards on offense will be a difficult task, so even if cleared to play Thursday night, Waddle has to be considered a volatile fantasy option. His status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Johnson ran back two kickoffs for 42 yards and returned one punt for six yards during the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.

Johnson did get in on seven snaps from scrimmage but wasn't targeted. Johnson notably added kickoff-return duty in Week 2 after exclusively fielding punts in Week 1, while No. 3 running back Sean Tucker, who'd handled all three kickoffs in the Week 1 win over the Falcons, was in on just one Monday night.
