McCollum was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a neck injury.

McCollum likely tweaked his neck during the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons in Week 1, when he tallied 10 tackles (seven solo) while playing 74 of 76 defensive snaps. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury tag heading into the Bucs' Week 2 clash against the Texans on Monday.

Hunt (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

A hip injury limited Hunt's practice participation Wednesday, but he appears to be past the issue and on track to play in Sunday's Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Chiefs. The 2024 third-rounder opened the 2025 campaign with three tackles (one solo) during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Cowboys in Week 1.

McKee (thumb) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

McKee continues to be sidelined due to a fractured right thumb that he suffered during training camp. He's missed the first two practices of the week and is unlikely to be cleared for the Eagles' Week 2 clash against the Chiefs on Sunday. Sam Howell will continue to serve as Jalen Hurts' backup for as long as McKee is out of action.

Jennings (shoulder) officially didn't practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings hasn't been able to take part in drills this week following his early departure from this past Sunday's victory in Seattle due to a shoulder injury. However, he was spotted working on the side with a 49ers trainer Thursday, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News, indicating he at least is keeping somewhat active. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal whether Jennings has a chance to suit up Sunday at New Orleans. If he's able to play this weekend, he'll be working with backup QB Mac Jones with Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) set to miss multiple weeks.

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

Adkins underwent a tightrope procedure on an ankle sprain in July, which prevented him from participating in training camp and in the week leading up to the Broncos' regular-season opener against the Titans this past Sunday. He returned to practice Thursday, and while it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to play against the Colts on Sunday, he should at least be ready to suit up for the Broncos' Week 3 clash against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 21, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. Adkins appeared in 17 regular-season games for Denver in 2024 and posted 14 catches (on 15 targets) for 115 yards and three touchdowns.

Franklin-Myers (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Franklin-Myers missed Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he'll play against the Colts on Sunday. The 2018 fourth-rounder logged one tackle and played 35 defensive snaps during the Broncos' 20-12 Week 1 win over the Titans.

Mullings (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The rookie sixth-rounder missed the first two practices of the week due to an ankle injury that he suffered against the Broncos in Week 1. Mullings would have to return to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity to have a shot at playing against the Rams on Sunday. Jordan Mims is the only running back on the Titans' practice squad, and with Tyjae Spears (ankle) on injured reserve, the former would be a top candidate to be elevated to the active roster and serve as Tennessee's RB3 behind Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut if Mullings is not cleared to play Week 2.

Oliver (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Oliver also sat out Wednesday's walkthrough due to an ankle injury, so he has just one more chance to prove his health Friday ahead of Sunday's contest against the Falcons. If Oliver is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, Benjamin Yurosek and Nick Vannett would be candidates for elevated workloads behind the Vikings' top TE T.J. Hockenson.

Herbig (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Herbig was not cleared to play against the Jets in Week 1 due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the preseason. His full practice participation Thursday indicates that he has recovered from the injury and is on track to suit up against the Seahawks on Sunday. Herbig saw his playing time fluctuate during the 2024 regular season and finished with 22 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 13 games.

Porter (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Porter missed a second consecutive practice due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during the Steelers' Week 1 victory over the Jets. Head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism that Porter won't miss time due to the injury, but the third-year corner will likely have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a chance at suiting up against the Seahawks on Sunday. Brandin Echols and James Pierre would be the top candidates to work alongside Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey in the Steelers' secondary if Porter is not cleared to play.
