Godwin (fibula) was listed as full on Thursday's injury report.

Godwin followed up Wednesday's limited walkthrough with all listed activity a day later, thereby paving the way for him to continue being a part of the Buccaneers' passing game Sunday versus the Cardinals. In his first action since Week 5 this past Sunday at the Rams after dealing with a fibula injury, Godwin operated with restrictions on his way to two catches (on four targets) for nine yards on a 36 percent snap share.

Neal (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Neal has now logged back-to-back limited practices since playing a season-high 59 offensive snaps Week 12 versus the Falcons, a contest that saw Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) spend the entire second half on the sideline due to an MCL sprain. Kamara's injury paved the way for Neal rush seven times for 18 yards and secure five of seven targets for 43 yards, and he's now missed back-to-back practices and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. That may also be the case for No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (back), who missed practice Thursday due to an injury he sustained Wednesday.

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

Chubb has dealt with a persistent foot injury for three weeks but has not missed any games. Barring any major setbacks, the starting defensive end should be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

Mayfield (left shoulder) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report.

Mayfield missed the second half of this past Sunday's loss at the Rams with a left shoulder injury that eventually was revealed to be a sprained AC joint. He then opened Week 13 prep with no activity at Wednesday's walkthrough before the Buccaneers upgraded his activity level one day later. Mayfield thus will have one more chance to prove his health this week, at which point Friday's injury report will reveal his odds to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals. Teddy Bridgewater is on hand to lead the offense if Mayfield ends up sidelined this weekend.

Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Kamara has now missed back-to-back practices since suffering a sprained MCL during New Orleans' loss to the Falcons in Week 12, an injury that forced him to sit out the entire second half of that contest. Meanwhile, top backup running back Devin Neal (ankle) was limited again in Thursday's practice, while No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (back) downgraded to being a non-participant. Friday's final practice report of Week 13 will provide clarity on the status of all three playmakers, but New Orleans' offense is at risk of entering Sunday's road contest against the Dolphins heavily depleted.

Schooler (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Schooler was injured in the first half of Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Bengals and did not return to the game. The safety's inability to practice to open Week 13 prep leaves his status for Monday night's contest against the Giants in question for the time being, although Schooler will still have two more sessions in which to up his participation level.

Olave (back) did not practice Thursday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Olave was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, with head coach Kellen Moore noting that the star wide receiver had been forced to depart the session early. It now looks like Olave's status is legitimately up-in-the-air for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and could come down to whether he's able to get back on the practice field Friday. With Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) having missed back-to-back practices due to a sprained MCL, the Saints are in danger of being down two crucial playmakers Week 13.

Tonga (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Tonga sustained a chest injury late in the first half of Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Bengals and was unable to return to the game. The starting nose tackle's ability to practice Wednesday means he is likely trending towards playing in Monday night's contest against the Giants.

Harrison (appendix) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Harrison maintained his listed activity level from Wednesday, which marked his first notable on-field work since undergoing an appendectomy following Week 10 action. So far, he's missed two games as a result, but Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not the second-year pro has a chance to return to action Sunday in Tampa Bay. Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch have been filling in as the Cardinals' top two wide receivers during Harrison's absence.

Henry (toe) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, which was based on what the Patriots did on the field Wednesday.

The Patriots didn't practice on Thursday, but Henry -- who logged a 79 percent snap share and was targeted 10 times in this past Sunday's win over the Bengals -- was deemed limited based on his activity in Wednesday's session. The tight end thus has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the team assigns game statuses for Monday night's game against the Giants.
