Thomas (groin) was a limited participant at the Giants' practice Thursday.

Thomas has been dealing with a groin injury for a series of weeks, but he has been able to play through it. The offensive lineman was a non-participant at practice Wednesday, but his ability to return to the field Thursday suggests that he will be good to go for Week 7 versus the Texans.

Rozeboom (finger) was placed on injured reserve by the Buccaneers on Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official website reports.

Rozeboom will be forced to miss at least four games while recovering from a finger injury that he likely suffered in Week 6 against the Steelers. In his absence, SirVocea Dennis will stand to see an increase in workload at inside linebacker behind starters Alex Anzalone and Josiah Trotter.

Goedeke (calf) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Goedeke popped up on the Buccaneers' injury report with a calf issue Wednesday, and he's now sat out two straight practice sessions because of it. He'll likely have to get back on the practice field Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday at Carolina.

Vorhees (foot) was a full participant at the Ravens' practice Thursday.

Vorhees was able to be upgraded to a full participant after opening the week with a limited practice Wednesday. The offensive lineman has missed the last two games while recovering from a foot injury, but he appears to be on track to play Sunday versus the Bengals.

Mitchell (concussion) did not participate at the Jets' practice Thursday.

Mitchell was added to the injury report with a concussion Thursday, and he was forced to miss practice as a result. The offensive lineman seems to be unlikely to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins, but he'll have one more chance to practice Friday.

Echols (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Echols suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of the team's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers, and he will now be forced to miss at least one additional contest as a result. The cornerback plays primarily on special teams, so his absence won't have much of an impact on the Steelers' defensive approach in Week 7.

Wingard (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wingard has sat out the Cardinals' last two games due to a bone bruise in his knee he sustained back in Week 4 against the Giants, and his availability for Week 7 is now in serious doubt. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday versus the Broncos.

Davis (ankle) was a full participant at the Eagles' practice Thursday.

Davis sustained an ankle injury in the team's Week 6 loss to the Panthers, but he now appears to be good to go ahead of Week 7. The defensive tackle will have two more practices to ensure that he's 100 percent for Monday night's matchup with the Cowboys.

The Cowboys designated Liufau (forearm) to return from injured reserve Thursday.

The move opens Liufau's 21-day practice window, meaning the Cowboys can take up to three weeks to decide whether to activate the third-year defender or rule him out for the season. Liufau was a limited participant in practice Thursday, per Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site, and it's unclear if he'll be activated ahead of Monday's matchup in Philadelphia. Liufau was primarily a special-teamer last season and could take on a similar role as a rotational linebacker upon his potential return.

Stowers (quadriceps) was a full participant at the Eagles' practice Thursday.

Stowers has been on injured reserve since Sept. 12 while recovering from a pair of hamstring and quadriceps injuries. The tight end had his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 14, and his ability to open the week with a full practice is a good sign for his chances to return to action Monday night against Dallas.
