  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Managing fracture in fibula, per report

    Jones, who is dealing with a fracture in his fibula, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, will continue to try to play through the issue.

    Per the report, Jones -- who was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough -- was a full participant in Thursday's session, with one source saying the QB "looked good." Meanwhile, James Boyd of The Athletic previously noted during the practice that Jones "does not look as fluid as normal," with Rapoport's report adding notable context to that observation. In any case, the QB's status now will need to be monitored as Sunday's game against the Texans approaches.

  • Emanuel Wilson RB | SEA

    Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Joined by Jacobs again in Week 13

    Wilson is poised to take a step back in the Packers backfield for Thursday's game at Detroit with Josh Jacobs (knee) active, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

    Wilson was Green Bay's lead runner in this past Sunday's win against the Vikings, racking up 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns and gathering in both targets for 18 yards. When Jacobs was active for the first 10 games of the season, even Week 11 at the Giants, when Jacobs made an early exit due to the knee injury, Wilson topped out at 11 touches (three times), 87 total yards and one TD in a given contest. Assuming Jacobs is good for his normal workload, Wilson likely will fall back to single-digit touch territory.

  • Desmond Ridder: Joins Minnesota practice squad

    Ridder signed with the Vikings' practice squad Thursday.

    The quarterback was with the team earlier in the season when J.J. McCarthy was sidelined with an ankle injury, but he was waived in early October. With McCarthy now working through the concussion protocol and Carson Wentz out for the year with a shoulder injury, Ridder is back. Max Brosmer is taking first-team reps for the Vikings this week, though McCarthy did practice on a limited basis Wednesday.

  • Lions' Tate Ratledge: Suiting up on Thanksgiving

    Ratledge (knee) is active for Thursday's Week 13 battle against the Packers.

    Ratledge is managing a knee injury, but he'll be able to play for a second straight game since the issue first appeared. The rookie has started every game for Detroit this season.

  • Penei Sewell OT | DET

    Lions' Penei Sewell: Playing through injury Thursday

    Sewell (ankle) is active Thursday for a Thanksgiving battle against the Packers.

    Sewell will continue to play despite an ankle injury that has made him a frequent presence on the injury report over the past three weeks. He's set to take on his usual starting role at right tackle for Detroit.

  • Taylor Decker OT | DET

    Lions' Taylor Decker: Giving it a go again Thursday

    Decker (shoulder) is active for Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup versus Green Bay.

    Decker has dealt with a shoulder issue through most of November, but he hasn't missed any games. That will remain the case Thursday despite a short practice week, and Decker should slot into his regular starting role at left tackle.

  • Lions' Miles Frazier: Debut still on hold

    Frazier (knee) is inactive for Thursday's matchup with the Packers.

    The fifth-round rookie was activated from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday after missing the first 12 weeks of the season, but he won't play in Thursday's game. A three-year starter at LSU, Frazier will likely play a depth role upon his return.

  • Lions' Marcus Davenport: Set for Thanksgiving return

    Davenport (shoulder) is not among Detroit's inactives for Thursday's Week 13 matchup against the Packers.

    Davenport last played Week 2, when he suffered a shoulder injury that caused him to be placed on IR. He was designated to return Nov. 12 and was deemed a full participant in all three walkthroughs this week, setting him up to return to action Thursday. Davenport had seen plenty of work before getting hurt, logging a 69 percent defensive snap share in Week 1, though he may be eased back following his extended absence.

  • Jacob Saylors RB | DET

    Lions' Jacob Saylors: Suiting up for Thanksgiving clash

    Saylors (back) is active for Thursday's Week 13 matchup versus the Packers.

    Saylors has been managing a back issue for most of November, and it caused him to sit out Week 10 against Washington. However, he's been able to play each of the past two weeks, and he's continued to work as the lead kick returner for the Lions. That will likely be Saylors' primary role again Thursday, as he has logged just seven offensive snaps through 10 games this year.

  • Nate Hobbs CB | SF

    Packers' Nate Hobbs: Sitting out Thursday

    Hobbs (knee) is inactive for Thursday's matchup with the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    The cornerback was listed as limited for Green Bay's walkthrough Tuesday and entered Thursday with a questionable tag, but the turnaround was likely too fast for him to return to game action after missing the past three games. Hobbs has served in a rotational role for the Packers at corner this year, recording 19 tackles (10 solo) and a pass breakup. Bo Melton or Kamal Hadden could see more snaps in his absence.
