Walker (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Walker is recovering from an oblique injury that he likely sustained in Week 4 against the Chiefs. He has opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Texans on Sunday. The 2024 fourth-rounder has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns through the first four games of the regular season.

Van Noy (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Van Noy has been sidelined for the Ravens' last two games due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during Baltimore's Week 2 win over Cleveland. He opened the week with a limited practice, and ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is on track to play against the Texans on Sunday. David Ojabo and rookie second-rounder Mike Green will likely see a decrease in snaps on defense if Van Noy is cleared to play against Houston.

The Saints signed Pettis to the practice squad Thursday.

Pettis signed a one-year deal with the Saints in March but was unable to make the team's practice squad at the end of training camp. He was without a team for just over a month, but he has opted to return to New Orleans as a member of the team's practice squad. Pettis would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster for the Saints' Week 5 clash against the Giants on Sunday if fellow wide receiver Trey Palmer (ankle) is unable to play.

Fehoko (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Fehoko was diagnosed with a concussion during the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. His ability to practice in full Thursday is a positive sign, but the 2021 fifth-rounder will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play against the Titans on Sunday. Fehoko has played 38 snaps on special teams through three games this season.

Fulton (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Fulton has been sidelined for Kansas City's last two games due to an ankle injury that he picked up in a Week 2 loss to Philadelphia. Fulton would put himself in a good spot to return against the Jaguars in Monday if he were to practice in full Thursday or Friday. The 2020 second-rounder has just one solo tackle through the first two games of his Chiefs career.

Danna (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Danna missed the Chiefs' last two games due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained in Week 2 against the Eagles. He was able to practice without restrictions Thursday, and the 2020 fifth-rounder is trending towards making his return against the Jaguars on Monday. Danna's return would likely lead to a drop in snaps at defensive end for Malik Herring and rookie third-rounder Ashton Gillotte.

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

Ridgeway opened the season on injured reserve due to a pectoral injury he suffered during training camp in mid-August. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and while he was able to practice in full Thursday, that doesn't guarantee that he'll be activated from IR ahead of the Saints' home clash against the Giants on Sunday.

Yiadom was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Yiadom may have picked up the injury during the Saints' Week 4 loss to the Bills, when he logged three tackles (one solo) while playing just 21 snaps (12 on defense, nine on special teams). He didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to log a limited session Thursday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on Yiadom's chances of playing against the Giants on Sunday in New Orleans. Rookie fourth-rounder Quincy Riley played a season-high 24 snaps on defense in Week 4 and would likely see even more playing time Sunday if Yiadom is not cleared to play.

Reid (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Reid was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue. The injury doesn't appear to be much of a concern after he was able to practice Thursday without restrictions, and he should cleared for Sunday's home tilt against the Giants, barring any setback. The 2018 third-rounder has 16 tackles (13 solo) and one pass defense through the first four games of the regular season.

Chaisson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Chaisson is working through a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Panthers. He managed to practice in a limited capacity Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's AFC East road bout against the Bills. Anfernee Jennings and Keion White would be the top candidates to start at edge rusher opposite Harold Landry if Chaisson is unable to play.
