Jackson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Jackson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but was not given the same workload during Thursday's session. It could've been a maintenance day for the fourth-year defensive end, who is recovering from a knee injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in mid-October. He'll need to be activated from IR in order to play Sunday against the Broncos.

McDuffie logged 12 tackles (seven solo), including two for a loss, during the Packers' 31-24 win over the Lions on Thursday.

McDuffie led the Packers in tackles Thanksgiving Day, and he has reached the double-digit tackling mark in two of his last three games. His increased production of late has been due to the absence of Quay Walker (neck), but the former's snap count on defense would likely dip in Week 14 against the Bears if the latter is cleared to return. In the eight games since the Packers' Week 5 bye, McDuffie has accumulated 51 tackles (23 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one interception.

Simmons (wrist) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Simmons appeared to sustain the injury late in the third quarter, which is severe enough for him to not return to Thursday's game. With Jawaan Taylor (elbow) also done for the day, the Chiefs are working with backup offensive tackles in Wanya Morris and Jaylon Moore.

Parsons logged eight tackles (four solo), including 2.5 sacks, three total tackles for a loss and four total QB hits during the Packers' 31-24 win over the Lions on Thursday.

It was another big day for Parsons, who has logged at least 1.5 sacks for a third straight game and the fourth time this season. His first takedown of Jared Goff came in the first quarter in combination with Kingsley Enagbare, resulting in a six-yard loss. Parsons added two solo sacks on Goff in the fourth quarter, both resulting in eight-yard losses as the All-Pro pass rusher's efforts helped limit the Lions' offensive output in the second half. Parsons is now up to 12.5 sacks through 12 regular-season games, and he is close to matching his career-high output as a member of the Cowboys during the 2023 campaign (14.0 sacks across 17 regular-season games). Next up for Parsons and the Packers is another NFC North clash in Week 14 against the Bears on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Wallace (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

Wallace has failed to haul in a catch in each of the Ravens' last four games, and he'll be a healthy scratch Thursday for the first time this season. His next opportunity to play is Week 14 against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 7, though Wallace is unlikely to play in that game unless the Ravens need depth at wide receiver or an additional option for returning kickoffs and punts.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Bengals but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback.

Rush will once again serve as the Ravens' emergency QB3 behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. That means Rush is restricted from playing Thursday unless both Jackson and Huntley were to be removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Sample (oblique) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

Sample was held out of the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots and will now miss a second consecutive game. The depth defensive end will have a 10-day turnaround to get healthy ahead of the Week 14 matchup with the Bills.

Browning (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

As a result of this designation, Browning will only see the field Thursday if both the returning Joe Burrow and Joe Flacco exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Hinton (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bears.

Hinton will stay on injured reserve for at least one more week due to a back injury. The rookie sixth-rounder started the season on injured reserve, and his next opportunity to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 14 against the Chargers on Monday, Dec. 8.

Dickerson (knee) does not have an injury designation for Friday's game against the Bears.

Dickerson was a full participant in Thursday's walkthrough practice, which has cleared the fifth-year pro to play Friday. He'll remain the Eagles' starter at left guard while Brett Toth and Matt Pryor provide depth.
