Edwards (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Edwards was unable to play in the Bears' Week 3 win over the Cowboys due to a hamstring injury that he suffered against the Lions in Week 2. He's opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, and he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday in order to have a chance at playing against the Raiders on Sunday.

Wonnum didn't practice Thursday due to a hip injury.

Despite playing 48 defensive snaps and recording two total tackles during the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Falcons, the South Carolina product appears to have sustained a hip injury. Wonnum has now logged consecutive DNPs to begin Carolina's week of practice, making it unlikely that he suits up for the Week 4 matchup against the Patriots. However, if the 27-year-old upgrades to limited or full participation in Friday's session, he could play in Sunday's contest.

Head coach Aaron Glenn relayed Thursday that Johnson is considered week-to-week due to an ankle injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson suffered an ankle injury during the first half of the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Bills. He wasn't able to play against the Buccaneers this past Sunday, and he has opened the week as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, per Cimini. Johnson will have two more opportunities to practice ahead of Monday's AFC East clash against the Dolphins in Miami. Braiden McGregor, Micheal Clemons and Tyler Baron will continue to see more work at defensive end alongside Will McDonald for as long as Johnson is sidelined.

Njoku (knee) upgraded to a full practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Njoku was limited in Wednesday's session, but his return to full work puts him on track to play Sunday against the Lions. Njoku has turned 18 targets into a 12-117-0 receiving line on 81 percent of the offensive snaps through three games this season.

Likely (foot) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, offensive coordinator Todd Monken noted Thursday of Likely, "Hopefully we get (him) back this week. He adds another tool for us." The tight end has missed the Ravens' first three games this season while recovering from foot surgery, but his continued ability to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Adams (hamstring) wasn't present for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Sean McVay told Barshop on Wednesday that Adams was tending to a sore hamstring and wouldn't practice, and his absence appears to have extended into Thursday. Still, McVay wasn't worried about the veteran wide receiver's availability for Sunday's contest against the Colts. Adams' activity level, or lack thereof, will become known once the Rams post their second Week 4 injury report.

Perine (thumb) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Perine was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but it's evidently not serious, and the veteran running back should handle his normal role as the Bengals' preferred option in pass protection out of the backfield. Perine has extremely minimal fantasy appeal while Chase Brown is healthy.

Washington (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Washington emerged from the Falcons' season-opening loss to the Buccaneers with a concussion and missed the last two games as a result. He didn't practice during Week 2 prep and then was listed as limited on four consecutive injury reports before getting back to all activity Thursday. There's been no indication that Washington has gained clearance from the protocol for head injuries, but he has two more days to do so ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Collins (knee) practiced fully Thursday.

Collins was deemed limited at practice Wednesday, but the wideout's return to a full session a day later paves the way for him to be available Sunday against the Titans. Through three games, Collins has compiled a 14-181-2 line on 25 targets, a pace that keeps Houston's clear-cut top WR firmly on the fantasy radar on a weekly basis.

Fields (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Though Fields was listed as a full participant in the session, he still needs to progress entirely through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to be available Monday night versus the Dolphins, per Cimini. With that in mind, prior to Thursday's practice, coach Aaron Glenn noted of the QB, "He still has to go through the whole protocol before he's totally cleared, but I like where he's at," while adding, "If he's cleared, he's the starter" against Miami.
