Stroud (concussion) isn't practicing Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Per Wilson, Stroud, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, is still experiencing symptoms, a context that has Davis Mills trending toward starting at QB for the Texans in Sunday's game against the Titans. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Stroud heads into the weekend with any chance to suit up versus Tennessee or is ruled out in advance of Houston's upcoming short week ahead of next Thursday's contest against the Bills.

Washington (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Washington didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to the field a day later is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Thursday's injury report will reveal the official participation level of Washington, as well as that of fellow WR Brian Thomas (ankle), who was limited Wednesday.

Gordon (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Gordon also was limited Wednesday, so he may need to work fully Friday in order to head into the weekend without an injury designation. In the Dolphins' Week 10 win over the Bills, Gordon logged just three snaps on offense and one carry, while Jaylen Wright was out there for 10 snaps and recorded five carries. Neither back is a high-percentage fantasy lineup option as long as De'Von Achane (22 carries versus Buffalo) remains healthy.

Hill (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Hill has now logged five straight limited practices, so he'll presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 11 injury designation. If Hill remains out or is limited at all Sunday against the Commanders, Greg Dulcich and Hayden Rucci would once again be line to see added TE snaps for the Dolphins.

Sinnott (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.

Sinnott wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it appears his ankle issue occurred during practice. The second-year pro has an opportunity to see increased receiving work Sunday versus the Dolphins in Madrid, if healthy enough to play, given that wide receivers Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) have both already been ruled out. That said, across 10 regular-season games so far Sinnott has only tallied three grabs for 31 yards and one touchdown (on three targets), as Zach Ertz remains Washington's clear top tight end.

Houston offensive coordinator Nick Caley said Wednesday that giving Marks a greater workload in last week's win over Jacksonville was not part of the plan entering the game, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Marks got into a rhythm early against the Jaguars, and Caley abandoned a plan for backfield balance with Nick Chubb. "You go into a game and you sit there and try to have balance in the variety of ways for all the right reasons," Caley said. "Sometimes, you get into a rhythm. And he played well and he was playing well down the stretch." Marks and Chubb have been co-lead backs since Week 3, but the rookie was given a resounding 80 percent of the offensive snaps last week compared to Chubb's 13 percent. While it looks to the naked eye that Marks has moved ahead of Chubb, Caley is leaving wiggle room by saying "it's hard to say how every game's going to go." It's likely that both backs will get their opportunities going forward, but the slight playing time edge that once favored the veteran Chubb may be leaning Marks' way for the rest of the season.

Jeudy looks to build off the momentum created in Week 10's loss to the Jets, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Jeudy had a season-best outing last week, catching six of 12 targets for 78 yards and his first touchdown. The wideout believes his 10 first-half targets got him involved early and credits part of his success to the play calling of offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was given that job after head coach Kevin Stefanski relinquished calling plays coming out of the bye week. Cleveland's quarterback situation has not been ideal and is cited as a major factor in what has been a disappointing season for Jeudy, but the wideout needs to shoulder some of the blame. He leads the NFL with eight drops and has dropped 22.2 percent of the on-target passes thrown his way.

Zabel was estimated as a limited practice participant in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a heel injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Zabel has started every game during his rookie campaign and has logged 100 percent of Seattle's offensive snaps in all but one contest. It's unclear at this point if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's Week 11 NFC West clash against the Rams.

Steen was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough due to an oblique injury.

Steen started Monday against the Packers and logged all 63 of Philadelphia's offensive snaps, but he appears to have hurt his oblique at some point in the game. The issue may not be serious given his estimation of being limited Wednesday, but a clearer picture should emerge with Steen's practice level Thursday. Steen has played in every regular-season and playoff game for Philadelphia since the start of the 2024 campaign.

Jurgens (knee) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

The Eagles didn't hold a standard practice Wednesday, but Jurgens' estimation is still a positive sign after he didn't practice at all last week. The fourth-year center suffered a knee injury Week 7 against Minnesota and has had to sit out each of the Eagles' subsequent two games. Brett Toth has been starting at center in Jurgens' stead.
