Mumpfield (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

The return to full participation is a great sign for Mumpfield, who had his most productive game of the season in Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. If the wide receiver avoids a setback Friday, he will likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Robinson (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

In the second game with QB Jameis Winston under center in place of Jaxson Dart (concussion) this past Sunday at Detroit, Robinson busted out with nine catches (on 14 targets) for 156 yards and one touchdown. Both Robinson and fellow WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) were listed as limited Thursday, while the Giants announced that Dart cleared the protocol for head injuries. Robinson thus will be working with Dart if he's able to attain active status himself for Monday's contest at New England.

Tolbert is active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Tolbert was a surprising healthy scratch versus the Eagles in Week 12, but he'll suit up versus Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day. He essentially remains off the fantasy radar, though, given he's logged less than 20 percent of offensive snaps in each of the last three games. Jonathan Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive Thursday with Tolbert taking the field.

Young (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Young was a non-participant Wednesday. The linebacker's return to practice should be a positive sign for his chances of suiting up in Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Mingo has consistently been a healthy scratch since returning from IR late October, as his first game being listed as active came Week 12 versus the Eagles. With Jalen Tolbert now back in the lineup versus Kansas City, however, Mingo reverts to his usual role. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Lions in Week 14.

Winson is positioned to operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jaxson Dart, who cleared the concussion protocol Thursday, versus the Patriots on Monday Night Football.

Winston kept the Giants competitive in both of his starts while Dart was unavailable, though New York ultimately lost by one score to the Packers in Week 11 and in overtime to the Lions in Week 12. Across those two games, Winston completed 37 of 65 pass attempts for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed seven times for 23 yards and another score. While Winston will now revert to the bench, bumping Russell Wilson down to the No. 3 role, he remains a high-upside backup stash in fantasy formats that allow multiple starting quarterbacks.

Kinchens (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

It is unclear when Kinchens suffered his shoulder injury, as he finished Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. With two missed practices this week, the starting safety will have one more chance to participate ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

St. Brown (ankle) won't return to Thursday's contest against the Packers.

St. Brown exited in the first quarter after the first play of the Lions' second possession after he was rolled up on by two Lions offensive linemen. He'll thus finish Week 13 action with no catches (on one target) and turn his focus to next Thursday's matchup with the Cowboys. Jameson Williams will handle the No. 1 WR role for the Lions for the rest of this Thursday's outing.

Thomas (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

This past Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network indicated that Thomas -- who last played in Week 9 -- had a good chance to return to action in Week 13 versus the Titans, and the wideout's return to a full practice Thursday paves the way for that to occur. In the eight contests he's been available for, Thomas has recorded a 30-420-1 line on 60 targets, a pace down from his strong level of output in 2024, yet enough to make the Jaguars' top WR worthy of fantasy lineup consideration in his looming return to the lineup.

Dart was listed as full on Thursday's estimated practice report, and the Giants announced that the rookie quarterback officially cleared the concussion protocol, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

When interim head coach Mike Kafka spoke to the media Wednesday, he told Evan Barnes of Newsday that Dart remained in the protocol for head injuries, but as of the Giants posting their first Week 13 injury report, he's now received clearance for his first game action since Week 10. Dart thus is poised to resume directing the offense Monday at New England, while Jameis Winston will return to a backup role.
