Kinchens (knee) upgraded to a full practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

With the full practice, Kinchens should be in line to handle his normal role Sunday against the Ravens. On 81 percent of the defensive snaps this season, Kinchens has recorded 26 tackles (16 solo) and three pass breakups.

Landman (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Landman is second on the team in tackles with 41 (22 solo) and has played 96 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps. With Omar Speights battling a high-ankle sprain, Los Angeles is already going to be dipping into its depth at linebacker Sunday against Baltimore.

Parkinson (concussion) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Parkinson picked up the concussion in last Thursday night's overtime loss to the 49ers. If neither Parkinson nor Tyler Higbee (hip) can play Sunday against the Ravens, Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson would handle tight-end duties for Los Angeles.

Collins (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Collins was able to return to practice Thursday after being a non-participant to open the week Wednesday. The defensive tackle is dealing with a knee sprain that he suffered in the team's win over the Rams in Week 5, and he will have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.

Humphrey (calf) was limited in Thursday's practice.

After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Humphrey's return to practice Thursday would seem to give him a chance to play Sunday against the Rams after missing last week's loss to the Texans.

Hamilton (groin) practiced in full Thursday.

After being limited Wednesday, Hamilton upgraded to full Thursday and should return to the lineup Sunday against the Rams after missing last week's loss to the Texans.

Watkins (calf) did not participate at practice Thursday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Watkins remained unavailable for practice Thursday, as he continues to nurse the calf injury that he suffered in early September. The wide receiver will have one more chance to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.

Gordon (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Gordon has yet to play this season, but a limited practice to start the week out of the Bears' bye would seem to give Gordon a good chance to play Monday night against Washington. Gordon typically covers the slot for Chicago.

Brisker (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday.

It's a new injury for Brisker, who is making his first appearance on the injury report this season. Brisker has logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps through four games, so it's possible he was injured in practice this week. Elijah Hicks and Jonathan Owens would be next up at safety if Brisker is unable to play against the Commanders on Monday night.

Edwards (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Coming out of Chicago's Week 5 bye, Edwards appears poised to return to the lineup after playing just 30 defensive snaps total across the first four games of the season. He should return to a full-time role in the middle of the Bears' defense.
