Wilson (calf) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson hasn't missed a game this season, but he's in danger of being absent for Sunday's game against the Bears. His absence from practice could be linked to the linebacker's recent trade request, as the Nov. 4 trade deadline is fast approaching.

Flacco (shoulder) was spotted on the field at practice Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Per Baby, Flacco -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- was seen throwing ahead of the team stretch Thursday, but the extent of his participation won't be known until Cincinnati releases its second Week 9 injury report later in the day. Head coach Zac Taylor previously told Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site Wednesday that Flacco was "50-50" to play in Sunday's game against the Bears while he tends to an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, but the veteran quarterback's outlook could improve if he fares well during Thursday's session.

Hendrickson (hip) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Hendrickson didn't take the practice field Wednesday or Thursday after aggravating his hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 8 loss to the Jets. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to maintain a chance to suit up Sunday against the Bears.

The Cardinals signed Brooks (knee) to their practice squad Thursday.

Brooks spent the early part of the season with Dallas and got into the Cowboys' Week 5 win against the Jets as a practice-squad elevation, logging four offensive snaps and 17 special-teams snaps without getting any targets. However, Brooks landed on the practice-squad injured list due to a knee injury Oct. 22 before being cut with an injury settlement two days later. It appears he's past the knee issue given his new deal with Arizona, and Brooks will now try to work his way up to game action, though the Cardinals' wideout corps is currently fully healthy.

Wicks (calf) isn't practicing Thursday, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Wicks hasn't been able to practice since injuring his calf Week 7 in Arizona, already missing one game as a result. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week before the Packers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers. Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Malik Heath and Savion Williams represent the other wide receivers on Green Bay's active roster.

Palmer (knee/ankle) took part in practice Thursday, though he was "moving at very light speed," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Palmer hurt his ankle in a Monday night game versus Atlanta on Oct. 13. The Bills were on bye the following week, but Palmer didn't practice at all in the week that followed and missed this past Sunday's win over Carolina. It sounds like Palmer is doing better since he was able to do some work Thursday, but Getzenberg's depiction of his movement suggests that the wideout could find it challenging to be ready for Sunday's clash against Kansas City.

Jones (calf) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Alaian Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Jones has missed Buffalo's last two games and appears to be headed for a third consecutive absence Sunday against the Chiefs after opening the week with consecutive DNP designations. Deone Walker has taken on a larger role at defensive tackle in Jones' absence.

Downs (hip) was on the field for practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Downs sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to the field a day later bodes well for his Week 9 availability. The Colts will release their second practice report of the week later Thursday, when it will be known whether the wideout was a limited or full participant.

Davis (illness) is back at practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Davis seems to have recovered after missing Wednesday's practice, though it remains to be seen if he has any limitations Thursday due to his illness. The backup running is likely to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

Reynolds (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.

After being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Reynolds remains sidelined for Thursday's practice. Reynolds hurt his hamstring in the Week 7 Monday night win over the Buccaneers, and despite having had the Week 8 bye to recover, Detroit's third-string running back is in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Vikings.
