Allen (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

Allen wasn't listed on the Jaguars' practice report Wednesday, thus he likely picked up the hamstring issue during practice following the team's Week 7 bye. It's unclear how serious the issue is, so the second-year running back's practice participation level Friday should provide clarity about his likelihood of suiting up in Week 8 against Indianapolis. Allen has handled only one carry through six contests, so an absence would primarily affect Jacksonville's special-teams unit.

Wyatt (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

Wyatt was listed as questionable heading into this contest due to an ankle injury. However, he is cleared to suit up for Week 8 versus Carolina. The 28-year-old has appeared in seven regular-season games during the 2026 campaign, amassing 18 total tackles (10 solo) and 2.0 sacks.

Brown (hand) is inactive for Thursday night's matchup against the Packers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

Brown will be forced to miss Week 8 as he nurses an apparent hand injury. In his absence, Aaron Hall and TeRah Edwards are both candidates to see an increase in workload on Carolina's defensive line.

Nixon (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against Carolina, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

Nixon was added to the injury report Thursday. However, the shoulder injury won't keep him off the field for the Week 8 meeting with the Panthers. The 29-year-old has had a quality 2026 campaign, accumulating 43 total tackles (32 solo), 0.5 sacks and one interception in seven regular-season games.

Allgeier (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

After Allgeier sat out Wednesday's session due to a toe injury, his ability to mix into drills one day later generally is a good sign as the Cardinals go through Week 8 prep. Friday's practice report will unveil if Allgeier enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Dallas, and also whether or not rookie RB Jeremiyah Love has a chance to put an end to a two-game absence. Currently, Bam Knight is the only healthy backfield option on Arizona's active roster.

King (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Panthers' emergency No. 3 quarterback against the Packers on Thursday night, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

King will once again serve as the team's emergency QB for the seventh game in a row. The rookie would only be eligible to enter the game if both starter Bryce Young and primary backup Kenny Pickett are forced out of the contest.

Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's matchup with Green Bay, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Sanders will be a healthy scratch for the sixth game in a row to open the regular season. Tommy Tremble and Darren Waller will operate as the team's primary options at tight end versus the Packers.

Parkinson (ribs) didn't practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Parkinson has now missed the first two days of Week 8 prep, so his status for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers is looking quite precarious. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend. Rams QB Matthew Stafford peppered his tight-end corps with 14 targets in Week 7 in the absence of wideout Davante Adams (hamstring), so Parkinson's absence would be felt by the team's offense if he can't play. Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen could be set for a bump in targets if that's the case.

Shaheed (knee) did not practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Shaheed was injured in last Sunday night's win over the Chiefs, but indications are he avoided a serious injury. If he's unable to play Monday night against the Bears, Tory Horton will slot into WR3 duties behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.

Love (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Love maintained his activity level from Wednesday, which followed two weeks off due to a lingering ankle injury. Head coach Mike LaFleur hasn't indicated if Love actually has a chance to return to action Sunday at Dallas, but Friday's practice report will reveal his chances to do so.
