Johnson (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Johnson was limited Wednesday and has appeared in two games since being activated from injured reserve in October. Johnson has produced five tackles (three solo) and one QB hit across 45 defensive snaps.

Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Smith sat out practice Wednesday due to a hamstring issue that may be an aggravation of the injury that caused him to miss Weeks 5 and 6. While the severity of the current issue isn't clear, the fact Smith was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday is a positive indication that he's not dealing with anything serious. If Smith can practice in full Friday, he'll likely avoid having an injury designation heading into the weekend.

Lewis (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice.

After being listed as DNP on Wednesday, Lewis' return to a limited practice would seem to give him a chance to return to the lineup Sunday against the Chiefs. Lewis hasn't played since Week 7 and has piled up seven tackles (five solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass breakup across 193 defensive snaps across seven games.

Horton (shin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Horton shed his groin issue this week, but he's still unable to practice due to a lingering shin injury, which so far has forced back-to-back absences. Friday's practice report may provide a ruling on the rookie fifth-round pick's availability for Sunday's game at Tennessee. Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Jake Bobo and Cody White are the healthy wide receivers on the Seahawks' active roster behind clear No. 1 option Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Hamilton (shoulder/groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

The Ravens are listing Hamilton with both a shoulder and groin issue, and the pair of problems caused him to sit out practice Wednesday. The talented safety's ability to practice in a limited fashion Thursday provides hope that he'll be able to suit up against the Jets on Sunday. However, Friday's final injury report will indicate if Hamilton heads into the weekend with an injury designation.

Chaisson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

Chaisson was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a lingering ankle injury. However, his return to full participation Thursday suggests he's not in danger of missing Sunday's tilt versus Cincinnati. Chaisson will be looking to build upon his 6.5 sacks -- which are already a career high -- versus the Bengals.

Buffalo elevated Latu from the practice squad ahead of Thursday night's game against the Texans.

With Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined once again, Latu has been elevated for the second straight contest. Latu played six offensive snaps last Sunday against Tampa Bay and caught one pass for four yards.

Shepard (shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday.

After beginning Week 12 prep as limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a shoulder issue, Shepard managed to handle every practice rep one day later, thereby clearing him for Sunday's game at the Rams. Meanwhile, fellow WR Chris Godwin (fibula) finally practiced fully for the first time since he was injured Week 5, and rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka (illness) remained limited.

Mathis (shoulder) is inactive for Thursday's Week 12 matchup against Houston.

Mathis missed Sunday's win against Tampa Bay due to a shoulder issue. He was limited in practice both Tuesday and Wednesday this week, but he's not yet able to return to game action. Mathis began the campaign on IR due to an unrelated calf injury, and he's played in just three games so far this season.

Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo.

Berrios will be inactive for a second straight week with the Texans' wideout corps mostly healthy. Since tallying five catches for 38 yards with a 29 percent offensive snap share against San Francisco in Week 8, Berrios had just one offensive snap across two contests prior to the pair of healthy scratches. He had been working as one of the Texans' top kick returners, but that role will likely be filled by Jaylin Noel and Tremon Smith against the Bills.
