Cosmi (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Cosmi's 21-day practice window to return from the Commanders' reserve/PUP list opened Wednesday. He was a full participant in each of the first two practices of the week, but the 2021 second-rounder did not travel with the team to Los Angeles and will not play Sunday. Cosmi will have to wait until Week 6 against the Bears on Monday, Oct. 13 for the next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut.

Wilson (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

The rookie third-rounder was unable to suit up for the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Panthers due to knee and ankle injuries. He appears to be past those injuries given his full participation in Thursday's practice and should resume his starting job at left guard for Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Bills in Buffalo.

Goncalves (toe) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Goncalves appears to be set to return to action in Week 5 after missing one game with a toe injury. The 24-year-old will be back in his starting role at right guard against the Raiders on Sunday.

Witherspoon (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Witherspoon is recovering from a knee injury, which has prevented him from participating in each of the first two practices of the week, so Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Derion Kendrick and Nehemiah Pritchett would be the top candidates to start at outside corner opposite Josh Jobe if Witherspoon is unable to play Sunday.

Dorsey (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Dorsey opened the week as a non-participant at practice Wednesday while recovering from an apparent concussion, but he was able to practice in full one day later. The cornerback will have one more practice to officially clear concussion protocol prior to Sunday's contest in Cincinnati.

Love (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Love has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a hamstring injury that he played through during the Seahawks' Week 4 win over the Cardinals. Friday's practice report will provide clarity on Love's chances of playing in Sunday's home tilt against the Buccaneers. Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada would be the top candidates to start at safety alongside Coby Bryant if Love is unable to play versus Tampa Bay.

Jackson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Jackson was unable to play in the Eagles' Week 4 win over the Buccaneers due to a groin injury that he sustained against the Rams in Week 3. He opened the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but his ability to practice without restrictions Thursday indicates that he should make his return against the Broncos on Sunday. Jackson's return would lead to a drop in defensive snaps for 2023 fourth-rounder Kelee Ringo.

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Crosby was added to the injury report Thursday with an apparent knee injury, logging a limited practice after opening the week as a full participant Wednesday. The defensive end will look to return to all activity Friday to erase any concerns about his chances to play Sunday on the road versus the Colts.

Carter (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Carter aggravated a shoulder injury during the Eagles' Week 4 win over the Buccaneers. He was limited in Wednesday's practice, but his ability to participate in full Thursday indicates that he should play against the Broncos on Sunday. The 2023 first-rounder has tallied six tackles (two solo) through the first four games of the regular season.

Mayer (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Mayer has been slowly working his way back from a concussion he suffered Week 3 versus the Commanders. He's now logged back-to-back limited efforts to begin the week, potentially opening the door for him to clear concussion protocol and play Sunday in Indianapolis.
