Waddle (chest) is present for the medica-access portion of Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.

Waddle was listed as a non-participant despite being seen at the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, so his fantasy managers shouldn't rejoice just yet. That being said, it's likely that the veteran wide receiver will put forth at least some level of participation Thursday, which will be clarified on Thursday's practice report. Waddle faced limitations in practice during Week 7 prep due to a chest injury that he ultimately aggravated in a win over the Cardinals.

Hall (quadriceps) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

Hall last suited up in Week 3, but back-to-back limited practices suggest that the running back could return to the Jets' lineup Sunday against the Raiders. That said, Hall will likely need to log a full practice Friday in order to approach Week 8 action without an injury designation.

Henderson (illness) did not practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Henderson will try to shed his illness and return to practice Friday. If he's unable to practice without limitations Friday, the 2025 second-round pick would likely take an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Henderson has struggled to earn playing time in recent weeks, splitting change-of-pace work behind Rhamondre Stevenson with Corey Kiner.

Brown (ankle/knee) was officially listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Thursday's injury report confirms earlier reporting from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that Brown isn't practicing Thursday. According to Rapoport, Brown recently had a knee issue flare up, which has the wide receiver's status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in doubt. Brown has six catches for 75 yards on 16 targets in two games since returning from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury.

Washington (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

With Washington having now logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, the wideout will look to get back to full participation Friday to clear up any concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. Though he leads the Dolphins in both receptions (26) and receiving yards (289), Washington is coming off a Week 7 outing against the Jets in which he drew a season-low three targets while Miami welcomed back promising rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (2-70-2 receiving line on three targets) from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury.

St. Brown (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

Head coach Dan Campbell told Richard Silva of The Detroit News on Monday that St. Brown tweaked his ankle during this past Sunday's win against the Packers, and while the wide receiver sat out Wednesday's session, he was able to handle a full workload one day later, fulfilling Campbell's prediction. St. Brown thus should be good for the 11.3 targets per game that he's averaged through six appearances this season Sunday versus the Vikings.

Monangai (thumb/toe) did not practice Thursday.

Monangai hasn't suited up since Week 4, and he continues to be bothered by a pair of injures at the start of Chicago's Week 8 prep. He'll have an extra day to recover with the Bears playing on MNF against Seattle. Roschon Johnson has played in a change-of-pace role behind D'Andre Swift during Monangai's absence.

Warren (groin) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Warren has now logged limited practices on back-to-back days after missing the last two games, a positive sign for his progress ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Despite the two-game absence, Warren still leads the Colts with 30 catches and is second on the team behind Jonathan Taylor with three total touchdowns in five appearances. Warren would likely need to log a full practice Friday to avoid an injury designation.

Gibbs (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday.

Gibbs was absent from Wednesday's session due to a shoulder injury, but with his return to all activity one day later, the issue isn't a significant one. He thus should be good to go for his typical 27.7 touches per game that he's averaged through the first six contests of the campaign Sunday against the Vikings.

Egbuka (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Though Egbuka was limited again, he shed the non-contact jersey and worked in a normal practice jersey Thursday. He was still dialed back enough to be listed as limited, but he seems to be making progress as Sunday approaches. Egbuka is working back from a concussion and a foot injury after missing Week 7.
