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.

Mims (hip/ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Mims also was deemed limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, so he'll have one more chance to practice fully ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. He's coming off his most productive game of the season, having recorded six catches on as many targets for 69 yards and one carry for a 16-yard TD in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Nwangwu (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Nwangwu has missed the Jets' last three games due to a hamstring injury. He has opened the week with consecutive DNPs, so he is trending towards being inactive for Sunday's game against Dallas unless he can practice in at least a limited capacity Friday.

Johnson (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson has opened the week in back-to-back DNPs, and he is trending towards missing a third straight game unless he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday. Micheal Clemons, Braiden McGregor and Tyler Baron will continue to see more snaps at defensive end for Sunday's game against the Cowboys if Johnson is indeed ruled out.

Goedert (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

One day removed from not practicing due to a knee injury Wednesday, Goedert got back on the practice field, albeit with a cap on his reps. He thus has one more chance to get back to all activity Friday, at which point the Eagles could tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. In three appearances this season, Goedert has compiled a 12-114-3 line on 13 targets, with all three scores coming over the last two contests.

The 49ers elevated Turner from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Rams.

Turner will provide the 49ers with much-need depth at wide receiver due to the absences of Jauan Jennings (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and rookie fourth-rounder Jordan Watkins (calf). Turner was elevated to the active roster for the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals, when he played eight snaps (one on offense, seven on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise.

Dortch (collarbone) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Dortch maintained his activity level from one day prior as he tends to a collarbone injury. Meanwhile, fellow WR Zay Jones (concussion) practice fully, indicating that he's closing in on gaining clearance from the protocol for head injuries. If Jones does so, Dortch likely would be relegated to the No. 4 role on the depth chart Sunday versus the Titans, assuming he's active himself.

The 49ers signed Martinez from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams.

Martinez was elevated from the 49ers' practice squad to the active roster for Week 2 and 3 to serve as Mac Jones' backup in the absence of Brock Purdy (toe). Purdy returned for Week 4 against the Jaguars but has been ruled out for Thursday's game in Los Angeles, so Martinez will once again be the QB2 while Jones makes his third start of the regular season.

Palmer (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Palmer is working through an ankle injury that he may have picked up at some point during Wednesday's practice, given that he hasn't played in any of the first four games of the regular season. His practice participation Friday will indicate his chances of being active for Sunday's home tilt against the Giants. Wide receivers Dante Pettis, Tommy Mellott and Kevin Austin would be candidates to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game if Palmer is not cleared to play.

Lamb (ankle) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lamb has yet to mix into drills since picking up a high left-ankle sprain during a Week 3 loss in Chicago, but he was able to handle rehab work for a second consecutive day Thursday, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. The Cowboys ruled out Lamb on their final Week 4 injury report last Friday, so a similar decision may come down once this Friday's report is posted. WR George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson figure to be QB Dak Prescott's favorite targets for as long as Lamb is sidelined.
