McConkey (biceps) practiced fully Thursday.

After not practicing Wednesday due to a listed biceps issue, McConkey was full a day later while sporting a brace on his left arm/shoulder, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The wideout's upgrade to all on-field participation Thursday paves the way for him to maintain his key role Sunday against the Broncos in a Chargers WR corps that also features Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen. Through two regular-season games to date, McConkey has recorded an 11-122-0 line on 14 targets.

Vaki (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Vaki has missed both of Detroit's first two games, but his return to a full practice this week would seem to give Vaki a chance to play Monday night against the Ravens. As the Lions' RB4, it's unclear if he'll even be active behind Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Craig Reynolds.

Dennis (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Dennis was limited in practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but he now appears fully on track for Sunday's home game against the Jets. Across two regular-season appearances so far, Dennis has racked up 14 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed.

Goedert (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Goedert has strung together back-to-back capped sessions since sitting out this past Sunday's win at Kansas City due to a knee sprain. He thus will have one more opportunity to practice in full Friday before the Eagles potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Rams. With Goedert absent Week 2, fellow TE Grant Calcaterra earned an 88 percent snap share but was targeted just twice, while Kylen Granson played 57 percent of the snaps and saw one target.

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

Turpin was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, though the Cowboys had merely held a walkthrough practice. In any case, Turpin now looks ready to rock for Sunday's road game against the Bears. Turpin's neck injury forced him to depart Week 2 against the Giants early, but before leaving the field he brought in all four of his targets for 47 yards and a score while racking up six rushing yards on two carries.

Pearce (groin) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

Pearce dealt with the groin issue last week during practice but was able to play Week 2 against the Vikings. After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Pearce's return to practice Thursday would suggest he has a good chance to play Sunday against Carolina.

Vele (hip) was limited in practice Thursday.

Vele wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, an indication that his hip issue may have been sustained during Thursday's practice. The extent of Vele's activity level at Friday's practice may go a long way in determining his availability for Sunday's road game against the Seahawks. He brought in his only target for three yards and a touchdown Week 2 versus the 49ers.

Elliss (groin) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Elliss should be fine for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The veteran linebacker has played 100 percent of the Falcons' defensive snaps this season, recording nine tackles (five solo) and one pass breakup.

Washington (concussion) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

Washington remains in the league's concussion protocol, and he'll likely need to log a full practice Friday if he's going to have any chance of playing Sunday against the Panthers.

Wilson (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson was limited Wednesday, but his return to a full sessions puts Wilson on track to play Sunday against the Vikings. Wilson has recorded 15 tackles (eight solo) and three pass breakups on 92 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps through two games.
