Slye (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

A right calf injury prevented Slye from playing against the Raiders in Week 6. He's opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and special-teams coordinator John Fassel told reporters Thursday that Slye has looked better in practice, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. Matthew Wright would be elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Patriots if Slye is not cleared to return.

Meyers (knee/toe) isn't practicing Thursday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly previously noted that he expected Meyers to return to work Thursday, but the wideout now is on track to log his second straight DNP. Friday's session thus looms large in terms of the availability of Meyers for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. If Meyers is limited or out this weekend, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton and Alex Bachman could see added Week 7 opportunities alongside fellow WR Tre Tucker.

Turpin (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Turpin has now logged back-to-back limited sessions since retaking the practice field Wednesday, meaning he'll likely have to upgrade to full reps Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders. If Turpin is able to return to action Week 7, he'll operate as Dallas' top option in the return game and play a depth role at wide receiver.

Jacobs (illness) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jacobs is operating with a cap on his reps this week due to an illness, leaving him just one more chance to get back to full Friday, or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest in Arizona. He's been running on all cylinders the last two games, racking up 49 touches for 307 yards from scrimmage and four rushing touchdowns during that stretch.

Lamb (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Lamb now has put together back-to-back capped sessions as he seeks his first game action since Week 3 due to a high left-ankle sprain. Fellow WR KaVontae Turpin (foot) also has been limited this week, meaning the Cowboys' receiving corps has a chance to be fully operational Sunday against the Commanders. In the end, though, Friday's injury report will provide insight into Lamb's odds to return this weekend.

Corum (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

This is a step in the right direction for Corum, who didn't practice Wednesday after sustaining an ankle injury in the Rams' Week 6 win over the Ravens. How Corum fares in practice Friday will go a long way in determining his ability to suit up Sunday morning against the Jaguars in London. Even if Corum plays, it would be in a reserve role behind Kyren Williams.

Larvadain (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Larvadian continues to progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, as he was a non-participant at practice Wednesday. If he can upgrade to full practice reps Friday, Larvadain could have a chance to clear the concussion protocol in time to suit up at home against the Dolphins on Sunday. He'll need to gain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, before being eligible to return to game action.

Brooks (neck) was a full participant in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Brooks began Week 7 prep with a limited session Wednesday, but Thursday's full participation suggests Brooks isn't in any danger of sitting out Sunday's trip to Cleveland. He didn't miss a snap in Miami's Week 6 loss to the Chargers.

Atwell (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

After pulling his hamstring at practice last Thursday, Atwell eventually was inactive for this past Sunday's win at Baltimore. On Monday, coach Sean McVay expressed optimism that Atwell would be able to return to action Week 7, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Atwell has since followed up Wednesday's limited session with all activity one day later, paving the way for him to suit up Sunday against the Jaguars in London. With Puka Nacua's (ankle) status up in the air, Atwell may take on a larger role in the Rams' passing game this weekend alongside Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington.

Whiteheart (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Whiteheart was limited in practice Wednesday, but he now appears to have returned to full health. After playing a season-high 22 snaps on offense during Cleveland's loss to the Steelers in Week 6, Whiteheart may now get a chance to handle No. 2 tight end reps behind rookie Harold Fannin if David Njoku (knee) is unable to suit up at home against the Dolphins on Sunday.
