Greenard (oblique) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Greenard appears to be back to full health after logging a limited practice to open the week Wednesday. The linebacker has recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, over the first two games this season, and he'll look to get after Bengals quarterback Jake Browning on Sunday.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's clash with the Bills.

The quarterback will serve as the emergency option for the third week in a row to start the season, meaning he can only enter the contest if Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson get injured, sick or ejected. Ewers was drafted in the seventh round by the Dolphins back in April.

Charbonnet (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Charbonnet has been held out of drills so far this week due to a foot injury, so Friday's practice likely will be key for his odds to suit up Sunday against the Saints. If Charbonnet is limited or sidelined this weekend, Kenneth Walker would take on the bulk of the work afforded the Seahawks backfield, while George Holani is the only other RB on the active roster, while Damien Martinez and Jacardia Wright would be candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

Samuel (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins.

Samuel has been a healthy scratch for all three of the Bills' games, so it will probably take an injury to a fellow WR to get him back on the team's game-day roster. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore and Tyrell Shavers are Buffalo's active wide receivers versus Miami.

Diggs (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Diggs was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough session. Fresh off getting cooked by Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson last Sunday against the Giants, Diggs has a date with the Bears' wideout room of DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Luther Burden this coming Sunday.

The Jets placed Robinson (undisclosed) on the practice-squad injured list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

A fifth-round pick by the Jaguars last year, Robinson spent this past summer with the Eagles but failed to make the 53-man roster out of camp. He rushed 27 times for 57 scoreless yards during the preseason. Robinson will be unavailable for a promotion for at least the next four games of the regular season.

Reed (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

This is the first mention of a knee issue for Reed this season. The veteran cornerback played 88 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's blowout win over the Bears, logging five tackles (all solo) in the 52-21 victory.

Purdy said after Thursday's practice that his turf toe variant is a day-to-day concern, and he's "gotta see at game time how I feel" Sunday against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, Purdy was able to throw among other activity for a second consecutive session Thursday, potentially paving the way for him to miss just one game as a result of the toe injury. Purdy's activity level will be revealed on the 49ers' second Week 3 practice report, but if he goes down as a limited participant again, he'll have one more chance to put himself in a position to be available this weekend. Mac Jones is in line to start Sunday if Purdy cannot.

Waddle (shoulder) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

Waddle was on the field for 82 percent of the Dolphins' snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots, a game in which he caught five of six targets for 68 yards and a TD. He wasn't listed on Monday's practice estimate, but he then was deemed a limited participant in Tuesday's session, as well as on Wednesday's estimated injury report. With the Thursday availability of Waddle (who had been officially listed as questionable) confirmed, assuming no limitations or setbacks he'll be in a position to maintain his key role in Miami's passing offense opposite fellow starting WR Tyreek Hill, with Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge also in the mix.

Palmer (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

It's a downgrade for Palmer after he was limited in Wednesday's practice, and it would seem to indicate he was injured during the day's session. Palmer was a healthy inactive each of the Saints' first two contests.
