Gipson was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Gipson won't have to move after being claimed by the Jets' MetLife Stadium roommates the day after being waived by New York's AFC team. His costly fumble on a kickoff return in Week 1 proved to be the end of the line for Gipson with the Jets, but he has shown some explosiveness in the return game when he holds onto the ball, so the Giants could utilize the 5-foot-9 wide receiver on special teams.

Jennings (shoulder) was spotted working off to the side with a trainer during Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jennings looks set to go down as a non-participant for the 49ers' second practice in a row, making his activity in Friday's session critical when it comes to determining his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints. If Jennings is able to play through the injury to his left shoulder this weekend, he'll be on the receiving end of targets from a new quarterback in Mac Jones, who is on track to start Sunday with Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) likely to be out for the next 2-to-5 weeks.

Reynolds (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

This is a new injury for Reynolds, who played 97 percent of snaps on offense in Week 1 against the Steelers and wasn't on Wednesday's injury report. If Reynolds is unable to play Sunday against the Steelers, that could pave the way for Allen Lazard to make his season debut.

Mooney (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Mooney now has strung together three straight capped sessions going back to Week 1 prep as he closes in on his recovery from the shoulder issue that has bothered him since late July. Both he and No. 1 WR Drake London (shoulder) have been limited so far this week, so Friday's practice will be key for them to avoid designations in advance of Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Berrios (hamstring) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Berrios' hamstring injury prevented him from suiting up Week 1 against the Rams, and he remains absent from practice heading into Monday's game against the Buccaneers. With Christian Kirk (hamstring) also still not practicing Thursday, the Texans' wide receiver corps could again be notably depleted Week 2.

London (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Since injuring his shoulder late in the fourth quarter of Atlanta's Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, London has operated with a cap on his practice reps. The same can be said for fellow WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder), leaving the pair just one more chance to get back to full participation Friday before the team potentially hands them designations ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota. For what it's worth, coach Raheem Morris told McElhaney on Wednesday that he expects London to play, but "that's not saying he is."

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

After playing 52 of the Giants' 68 snaps on offense and finishing with six catches for 55 yards on eight targets in this past Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Commanders, Robinson seemingly emerged from the contest with the ankle injury. The Giants held Robinson out of their first Week 2 practice Wednesday, but his ability to take some reps Thursday is a good sign for his chances of being available Sunday in Dallas. The Giants will wait and see if Robinson can upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice before deciding whether he'll take a designation into the weekend.

Slayton was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a groin injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

New York didn't include Slayton on its initial Week 2 injury report that was released Wednesday, so his addition to the report Thursday could be indicative of an in-practice setback. Slayton will have one more chance to increase his practice activity Friday before the Giants decide whether he'll take a designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

The Vikings signed Jones off their practice squad Thursday.

Jones was elevated from Minnesota's practice squad against the Bears in Week 1, logging 14 snaps on special teams and three on offense. After opening up a pair of roster spots by placing Blake Cashman (hamstring) and Ty Chandler (knee) on IR, the Vikings added Jones to their 53-man roster. The 27-year-old Jones has 17 career catches.

Royals (knee) will not practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Royals hasn't yet practiced in any capacity during the regular season, though head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that the rookie wideout has been progressing. He was inactive Week 1 and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.
