Joseph (knee) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice.

Joseph has been playing through the knee issue despite missing practice time during the week. Joseph played 100 percent of the defensive snaps last Sunday against the Bengals and has logged 14 tackles (10 solo) and four pass breakups, including three interceptions, through five contests.

Raymond (neck) was limited in Thursday's practice.

It's an upgrade for Raymond after he logged a DNP on Wednesday following his injury in last Sunday's win over the Bengals. Raymond has been operating as the Lions' third receiver early on this season, securing six of nine targets for 47 yards, but rookie Isaac TeSlaa figures to make a move on the veteran at some point in 2025. In addition to his duties on offense, Raymond has returned two kickoffs for 60 yards and 12 punts for 125 yards and one touchdown.

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

Carter was forced to miss the team's Week 4 win over the Commanders due to a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be all set for Week 6. The running back will likely be back in his role as the No. 3 option behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier on Monday Night Football against Buffalo.

Tuten (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Tuten has been a regular on Jaguars practice reports due to a shoulder injury since Week 3 prep, but he's been able to suit up for three consecutive contests, combining for 16 touches for 54 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD during that span. Assuming he's cleared ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, he'll continue to operate in a complementary role behind No. 1 RB Travis Etienne.

Slye (calf) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.

It's Slye's first week on the injury report this season, and back-to-back DNPs certainly puts his status for Week 6 against the Raiders in question. Matthew Wright was recently signed to the Titans' practice squad as insurance.

Hodge (groin) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Hodge was unable to practice last week while dealing with a groin injury, so Thursday's session is a step in the right direction. With the team playing the Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 6, the wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice before the end of the week.

Brown (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Brown has been tending to a shoulder injury since a Week 3 win against the Texans that sidelined him Week 4 at San Francisco. He was able to return for Monday's game against the Chiefs, hauling in two of four targets for 15 yards while logging 66 percent of the snaps. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown enters the weekend with a designation in advance of Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks.

Bates (shoulder) was limited in Thursday's practice.

It's a new injury for the Commanders' tight end after he recently dealt with a groin issue that caused him to miss Weeks 3 and 4 before returning to the lineup last Sunday against the Chargers. When healthy, Bates has been playing roughly 50 percent of the offensive snaps, but he has just one catch for nine yards on the season.

Humphrey was elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of Thursday night's contest against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Humphrey will join the active roster for the first time this season after joining New York's practice squad in the offseason. The 27-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option at wide receiver with Darius Slayton (hamstring) unavailable for Thursday Night Football.

McAtamney was signed to the Giants' active roster Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

McAtamney will operate as New York's starting kicker for the third week in a row, as the team squares off with Philadelphia on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old has gone 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs over the last two contests while filling in for Graham Gano (groin).
