James (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 2025 fifth-rounder will not suit up in Week 1, leaving Christian McCaffrey and rookie third-rounder Kaelon Black as the only healthy running backs active for the 49ers on Thursday. James' role moving forward may depend on how effective Black is to start the season.

Bain (shoulder) was a full participant at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

Bain was able to increase his participation Thursday after opening the week with a limited practice Wednesday. The 22-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in late August, but he now appears on track to make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday in Cincinnati.

Sanders (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Sanders recorded a limited practice Wednesday, but it seems he may have suffered some sort of setback during the week. He'll likely need to return to practice Friday to give himself a chance to be active in Week 1 at Houston.

San Francisco placed Collins (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

This move was anticipated, as Collins is set to miss the entire 2026 campaign as a result of tearing his patellar tendon during practice Tuesday. Osa Odighizuwa, CJ West and Gracen Halton should get plenty of reps at defensive tackle with Collins and Sam Okuayinonu (foot) sidelined.

Gilman (back) is not on the Chiefs' Thursday injury report ahead of the team's Monday night Week 1 clash with the Broncos.

The safety injured his back during the second week of the preseason and missed a little over two weeks of team activities. Now that he has returned to practice, he should be good to go for Monday's season opener against Denver. Gilman signed a three-year, $24 million free-agent deal with the Chiefs in March to serve as a starting safety.

Rozeboom (foot) was a limited participant at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

Rozeboom has opened the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions as he continues to nurse a foot injury. The linebacker will have one more chance to log a full practice Friday before the team kicks off the regular season with a matchup against the Bengals on the road Sunday.

Delp (hamstring) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Delp has been nursing a nagging hamstring injury since late August, and his availability for Week 1 is in serious doubt at this point. Unless he makes a showing at practice Friday, it's not likely he'll play Sunday at Detroit.

Turner was limited in practice Thursday due to a hamstring issue, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Turner wasn't listed on Cincinnati's practice report Wednesday, so he may have picked up the hamstring injury during practice. Bengals fans (and fantasy managers who roster any of Tampa Bay's passing-game pieces) may want to keep a keen eye on Friday's practice report and injury designations to get an idea of Turner's chance of suiting up Sunday. Should he not be able to play, Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, along with wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, could get a bump in projected value.

Ogletree (neck) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The tight end was limited by a neck injury a day earlier. Ogletree is trending toward playing in Sunday's opener against Baltimore. The 2022 sixth-round pick has added depth to the Colts' tight-end spot throughout his career, seeing action on special teams as well.

Estime (thigh) did not participate at practice Thursday.

The thigh injury that landed Estime on the Saints' official injury report Wednesday kept him sidelined Thursday. He'll probably need to practice in some form Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday at Detroit.
