Burrow (back) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Burrow was limited for the second time in as many days, but he was able to throw passes and take part in positional drills during the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, which is more than he was able to do the day before. Burrow said Wednesday that he is planning to play in Week 2, and he seemingly remains on track to do so.

The Bills elevated Dortch from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game versus the Lions.

Dortch was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's 36-31 victory over the Texans. That trend will continue Thursday, with the 28-year-old suiting up for a potential high-scoring contest. The Bills' receiving corps is healthy in Week 2, so Dortch will presumably spend most of his time on special teams once again.

Murray (concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Murray lasted only 11 offensive snaps before suffering a concussion during this past Sunday's 39-22 win against the Packers. It's generally a positive sign that he's been able to log some on-field activity in both Week 2 practices to date, but he likely will need to bump up to full participation Friday to give himself a chance to play Sunday in Chicago. If Murray isn't able to gain clearance from an independent neurologist ahead of that contest, Carson Wentz will direct the Vikings offense this weekend.

Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.

Collins injured his hamstring at Wednesday's practice, and although he was listed as limited on Houston's first practice report of the week, he was tagged as a 'DNP' a day later. Collins is believed to be dealing with a Grade 1 strain and reportedly is not facing an extended absence, but his availability for Week 2 will likely hinge on whether or not he can get any work in at Friday's session.

The Bills elevated Gore from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday's game versus Detroit.

With Ty Johnson (hamstring) unavailable for Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans, Gore was elevated to the active roster for that contest. He logged 11 offensive snaps, though he finished with just one carry for three yards. Gore's workload likely won't be much different against the Lions, so his elevation from the practice squad was mostly for depth purposes, potentially indicating Johnson is in line to miss another game Thursday.

Johnson (illness) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Johnson took a step in the right direction after sitting out practice entirely Wednesday. He still has a chance to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens if Johnson can upgrade to full participation Friday. Johnson caught three of seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' Week 1 overtime loss at Detroit.

Harvey (hamstring) is present at practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

Harvey was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but he's set to participate in at least some capacity now that Denver's actually holding practice Thursday. The 2025 second-round pick turned seven touches in 41 scrimmage yards in Monday's loss to the Chiefs and got all four targets among Denver's running backs while J.K. Dobbins took most of the rushing work. Harvey's availability bears monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.

Olave (hamstring) departed Thursday's practice early as a precaution, but it isn't expected to impact his ability to play, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave showed up on the Saints' second Week 2 practice report Thursday with a hamstring injury, which may stem from the cramping that he dealt with Week 1 during a 10-182-0 performance on 13 targets at Detroit. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, but his status may not be entirely confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Kamara (knee) said Thursday that he "feels great" and has "no limitations" in advance of Sunday's game at Baltimore, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara made an early exit from an Aug. 18 joint practice with the Cowboys and was diagnosed with an MCL sprain that was expected to sideline him for one month. While he was inactive for the Saints' Week 1 contest in Detroit, he followed up back-to-back limited sessions with a full practice last Friday, indicating that he was closing in on a return to action. With a pair of uncapped practices so far this week, he's in line to join Travis Etienne out of the Saints backfield Sunday, and potentially without any limits on his workload.

Flowers (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday's practice.

Flowers has missed the Ravens' first two practices ahead of Sunday's game versus the Saints. He caught five of six targets for 150 yards and a touchdown prior to exiting the Week 1 win over the Colts due to a hamstring injury, which has prevented Flowers from practicing in the leadup to Week 2. Baltimore's top wide receiver will aim to practice Friday to give himself a chance to play come Sunday.
