Walker (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Walker went backwards Thursday, failing to practice after recording a limited session to open the week Wednesday. Walker isn't the only offensive lineman banged up ahead of Week 6, as Aaron Banks (groin), Anthony Belton (ankle), Jacob Monk (hamstring) and Zach Tom (oblique) were also limited or unavailable Thursday.

Mitchell was ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Giants due to a hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mitchell suffered the hamstring injury early in the second quarter and spent a considerable amount of time being evaluated in the medical tent. The severity of the issue is unclear, but he'll have some extra time to rest before a Week 7 matchup against the Vikings.

Decker (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Decker has opened the week with back-to-back absences at practice, as he continues to nurse a shoulder injury. The offensive lineman will have one more chance to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

Graham (calf) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Graham was able to return to practice Thursday for the first time since being placed on injured reserve in late August with a calf injury. The defensive lineman has now opened a 21-day practice window, and if he's not activated from IR in that period of time, he'll remain sidelined for the rest of the season.

Newsome (hamstring) was not included on the Jaguars' injury report Thursday.

Newsome was traded to Jacksonville on Wednesday after spending the first four-plus seasons of his career in Cleveland. The cornerback was considered to be a limited participant at the Browns' practice Wednesday, but he now appears to be a full go ahead of his first contest with the Jaguars. Newsome will likely operate in a starting role in the team's secondary Sunday versus Seattle.

Morrison (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The second-round rookie cornerback missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks and could be looking at a second consecutive absence in Week 6 against San Francisco. Morrison has played in sub-packages on defense when healthy this season.

Davidson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Eagles due to a knee injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Davidson was on the field for a series of plays near the goal line, during which the Eagles ran four consecutive tush pushes. The final play ended in a touchdown and it also appeared to be when Davidson suffered his injury. He was carted to the locker room, so his return should be in doubt despite the official designation.

Dean (hip) practiced in full Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

It puts Dean on track to play Sunday against the 49ers after he missed the Week 5 win over the Seahawks. Through four appearances this season, Dean has 12 tackles (11 solo) and four pass breakups, including one interception that he returned 55 yards for a touchdown.

Murray (neck) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Murray has been dealing with a neck injury, but he was able to play in the team's Week 5 win over the Chiefs on Monday Night Football. After being considered limited back-to-back days to open the week, the safety will look to log a full practice Friday ahead of the team's contest against the Seahawks in Week 6.

McCollum (thumb) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

McCollum initially injured his thumb in Week 4 and played last Sunday against the Seahawks, but he underwent surgery on the thumb earlier this week. If McCollum is unable to play Sunday against the 49ers, Kindle Vildor, Josh Hayes and Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) would be next in line for increased action on defense.
