DJ Turner CB | CIN
Bengals' DJ Turner: Managing hamstring injury
Turner was limited in practice Thursday due to a hamstring issue, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Turner wasn't listed on Cincinnati's practice report Wednesday, so he may have picked up the hamstring injury during practice. Bengals fans (and fantasy managers who roster any of Tampa Bay's passing-game pieces) may want to keep a keen eye on Friday's practice report and injury designations to get an idea of Turner's chance of suiting up Sunday. Should he not be able to play, Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, along with wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, could get a bump in projected value.

Andrew Ogletree TE | IND
Colts' Drew Ogletree: Not limited Thursday
Ogletree (neck) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
The tight end was limited by a neck injury a day earlier. Ogletree is trending toward playing in Sunday's opener against Baltimore. The 2022 sixth-round pick has added depth to the Colts' tight-end spot throughout his career, seeing action on special teams as well.

Nnamdi Madubuike DT | BAL
Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Limited at practice
Madubuike (neck) was considered to be a limited participant at the Ravens' walkthrough practice Thursday.
Madubuike has logged back-to-back limited sessions to open the week, leaving the door ajar for him to return to action Week 1 against the Colts. The defensive lineman hasn't suited up since suffering a neck injury last September, and once active, he will bolster Baltimore's pass rush this season.

A.J. Haulcy SAF | IND
Colts' A.J. Haulcy: Full participant Thursday
Haulcy (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
The safety missed the Colts' last two preseason games but was able to practice on a limited basis Wednesday. Now that he's a full go in practice, Haulcy should be able to play Sunday against the Ravens. The third-round pick out of LSU is a projected starter at strong safety.

Tim Patrick WR | NYJ
Jets' Tim Patrick: Not practicing Thursday
Patrick (groin) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Patrick was estimated as a non-participant on the Jets' official injury report Wednesday, and he evidently isn't in any better shape a day later. Unless he's able to manage at least a limited practice Friday, he'll probably sit out Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Remains limited Thursday
Walker (groin) was listed as a limited participant at the Ravens' walkthrough practice Thursday.
Walker continues to nurse a groin injury ahead of Week 1, logging his second straight limited session Thursday. The wide receiver will have one more chance to notch a full practice Friday before the team takes on Indianapolis in the regular-season opener Sunday. If Walker is unavailable in Week 1, rookie wideout Ja'Kobi Lane could see an uptick in opportunities in his regular-season debut.

Pierre Strong Jr. RB | GB
Pierre Strong: Dealing with hamstring injury
Strong, who is on Green Bay's practice squad, is currently managing a hamstring issue, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Strong had been a candidate to be elevated for the Packers' season opener Sunday versus Minnesota since Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List, but that's presumably no longer in play. It's not clear how severe Strong's injury is, and given that Jacobs could be out multiple games, Strong could still be a gameday practice-squad elevation down the line once he gets healthy.

Xavier Woods FS | CHI
Bears' Xavier Woods: Still tending to groin issue
Woods (groin) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Woods did not appear on the Bears' official injury report Wednesday, but he popped back up Thursday, and his availability for Week 1 is again up in the air. He'll probably have to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Patrick Jones II LB | CAR
Panthers' Patrick Jones: Unlikely to play Week 1
Jones (back) is not expected to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Bears, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Jones has been nursing a back injury, and he has yet to participate at practice this week. The linebacker is considered week-to-week according to head coach Dave Canales, so his status for Week 2 versus Atlanta is also in question. In his absence against Chicago, Trevis Gipson is a top candidate to draw the start at weak-side linebacker.
