Jacobs didn't practice Thursday but said afterward that his injured knee is structurally sound, and he considers himself day-to-day as Sunday's game in Denver approaches, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After sitting out the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings due to the knee injury, Jacobs returned to action for both of the team's ensuing two games and handled his typical workloads in both contests. However, Jacobs noted that the knee stiffened up on him in this past Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears, prompting the Packers to send him in for an MRI on Monday. Though the scan revealed nothing concerning, the Packers have nonetheless held Jacobs out for both of their first two Week 15 practices, which puts a cloud over his status for Sunday. Jacobs would likely assuage some of the concern about his availability for the weekend by practicing Friday, even if only in a limited capacity. In the event Jacobs is forced to miss his second game of the season, Emanuel Wilson would likely step in as Green Bay's lead back, as he did in Week 12.

Horn (concussion) practiced in full Thursday.

Horn is still officially in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but head coach Dave Canales has stated that he's on track to return in time for Sunday's game against the Saints. He'll need to be fully cleared by an independent neurologist before returning to the field.

Landry (knee) isn't practicing Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Landry is trending in the wrong direction after being listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. That being said, he was listed with a knee injury prior to each of New England's last two games ahead of a Week 14 bye but managed to play both times. Landry's participation level at Friday's practice and subsequent injury designation, or lack thereof, on Friday's injury report will be worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.

Trubisky (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

If Trubisky doesn't return to full participation Friday, he will likely carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots. Practice squad quarterback Shane Buechele would work as the backup to Josh Allen if Trubisky's unable to suit up Sunday.

Harrison (heel) isn't practicing Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Harrison thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills this week, or else he'll be at risk of missing a second game in a row due to a heel injury. If he sits out again Sunday at Houston, it'll mark his fourth absence in the past five games after he sat out Weeks 11-12 following an appendectomy. Fellow WR Michael Wilson prospered during Harrison's three recent absences, totaling a 36-445-2 line on 49 targets in those contests. Andre Baccellia is the only other healthy wide receiver on Arizona's active roster.

Chubb (ribs) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Chubb has missed Houston's first two Week 15 practices after exiting the team's Week 14 win over Kansas City due to a rib injury. Woody Marks (knee) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday and will likely continue to work as the lead back Sunday against Arizona, while Dare Ogunbowale could move up to the change-of-pace role usually occupied by Chubb if the veteran running back is ultimately sidelined Sunday. Chubb will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out on Friday's injury report.

Marks (knee) participated in practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Marks logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, but the running back's presence at practice a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, fellow RB Nick Chubb (ribs) remained sidelined Thursday, with the Texans' upcoming injury report set to reveal Marks' official participation level.

Fields (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The same applies to Tyrod Taylor (groin), leaving Brady Cook and practice-squad member Adrian Martinez to handle the Jets' QB reps in Thursday's session. Friday's practice thus looms large in terms of the team's Week 15 signal-caller plans, but at this stage looming back-to-back 'DNPs' cloud the statuses of both Fields and Taylor.

Taylor (groin) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Neither was Justin Fields (knee), so both Taylor and Fields have opened Week 15 prep with consecutive DNPs. Brady Cook has been handling first-team reps in practice, and the undrafted rookie out of Missouri looks like the favorite to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Taylor or Fields could reenter the starting mix by practicing in any capacity Friday.

Hall (knee) is taking part in positional drills Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall sat out practice Wednesday due to knee soreness, but he has returned to practice Thursday, though it remains to be seen if he's listed as a full participant or limited participant. He has yet to miss a game in the 2025 regular season, and Hall is tracking toward his first 1,000-yard rushing campaign, as he needs 123 yards to reach that milestone with four games to play, starting with Sunday's matchup at Jacksonville.
