Adebo (knee) was a limited participant in the Giants' estimated practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Adebo missed his fifth consecutive game last Sunday due to a sprained MCL, so the limited participation in practice is a good sign for the potential return of the starting cornerback. Adebo will need to continue to string practices together to have a chance to suit up in Monday night's game against the Patriots.

Stroud (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.

Back-to-back full practices have Stroud trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Colts. Friday's final injury report will confirm the QB's Week 13 game status, but Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston indicates that the expectation is that Stroud is in line to be officially cleared.

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

Banks was unable to play Week 12 due to a hip injury, but he's making progress ahead of Monday's road matchup against the Patriots. The top slot corner will have two more opportunities to officially upgrade to full practice reps in preparation for Monday Night Football.

The Ravens placed Bryan (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

Bryan will now need to miss at least four games while on IR before being eligible to return to the active roster. The rotational defensive end was unable to practice in any capacity during the week, and fellow defensive end Carl Lawson will likely see additional snaps in his stead for the foreseeable future.

The Ravens placed Hill (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.

Hill will be forced to miss at least Baltimore's next four games due to a neck injury he appears to have sustained during practice. He wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, but then appeared as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday. Beginning Thursday versus the Bengals, and until at least Dec. 27 versus the Packers in Week 17, both Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will be in position to handle increased complementary roles behind Derrick Henry.

Fuaga (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Fuaga has missed the last two games after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 9. The starting right tackle's upgrade to full practice means he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, barring any setbacks.

Tolbert is officially listed as active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Tolbert was a healthy scratch for this past Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles, but he'll rejoin the Cowboys' WR mix in Week 13. In the process, he'll be a candidate, along with Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin, for snaps/targets that don't go to the team's clear-cut top options at the position, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game versus the Bears.

Smith was absent from Tuesday's walkthrough due to a shoulder injury, and while he remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice, a chest issue and an illness were added to the practice report. After capping Week 13 prep with a full walkthrough Thursday, he's lined up to be available Friday. Smith has accrued an 11-166-1 line on 23 targets in three contests since the Eagles' Week 9 bye.

Barkley (groin) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game against the Bears.

Barkley opened Week 13 prep with a limited walkthrough Tuesday and followed it up with a capped practice Wednesday due to a groin injury. However, his full walkthrough Thursday paves the way for him to continue to lead the Eagles' ground attack Friday. In three contests since the team's Week 9 bye, Barkley has turned 69 touches into 265 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns.

Waddle (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waddle emerged from Miami's bye with a foot injury that caused him to be limited in practice Wednesday, but he can now be considered fully on track for Sunday's game against the Saints. Meanwhile, tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) has logged back-to-back limited sessions since having his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, making him a tentative candidate to get back on the field Week 13. Whenever Waller is able to return to the lineup, his ability to command attention from opposing defense could open things up for Waddle, who has been clearly entrenched as the No. 1 wideout for Miami since Tyreek Hill (ACL) suffered a season-ending injury Week 4.
