Key (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Key has been sidelined for the team's last four games but appears to be nearing his return. If the 29-year-old manages to practice either Thursday or Friday as well, he should be in line to make his return during Sunday's matchup versus the Texans.

Adebo (knee) was estimated to be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Adebo has been sidelined for each of the last three games with a sprained MCL. This marks his first practice participation since suffering the injury, so it appears possible he could return in Week 11 against the Packers.

Pitre (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

Pitre was unable to play against the Jaguars in Week 10 while in the league's concussion protocol. He'll have two more chances to return to practice, but he'll need to pass an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play against the Titans on Sunday. Myles Bryant stepped into a prominent role on defense during the Texans' Week 9 over the Jaguars, and he would continue to see an elevated snap count as long as Pitre is sidelined.

Karlaftis (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Karlaftis led Chiefs defensive ends in defensive snaps (51) in the last game before their Week 10 bye at Buffalo, and it's not immediately obvious when he suffered the thumb injury. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full before Kansas City publishes its final practice report of the week Friday.

Nubin (neck) was estimated to have not participated in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nubin played 93 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. Several Giants veterans did not practice Wednesday, so it's possible Nubin was simply getting extra rest. However, his practice participation for the rest of the week should provide more clarity.

Phillips (foot) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

Following back-to-back DNP listings Monday and Tuesday, Phillips got in a limited session Wednesday, giving him a chance to play versus New England. Phillips has yet to miss a game this season after being acquired from the Vikings ahead of Week 1.

Woods (hamstring) didn't participate in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Woods continues to battle the hamstring injury that held him out of the team's Week 9 loss to the Chargers. If he's forced to miss a second straight game, Quandre Diggs would likely draw another start at free safety.

McDonald (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

McDonald got in a limited practice Wednesday, giving him a chance to suit up Thursday, as he's coming off a monster Week 10 performance against Cleveland in which he piled up 4.0 sacks.

Herbert (groin) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

Herbert has practiced in full this week, but the Jets are still listing him as questionable. Herbert has yet to play a single offensive snap this season, seeing just 17 on special teams across two appearances.

Gibbens (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game versus the Jets.

After being limited by a hamstring issue at practice Monday and Tuesday, Gibbens was a full participant at practice Wednesday and will play in Week 11. With Christian Elliss (hip) out, Gibbens actually projects to start at linebacker next to veteran Robert Spillane on Thursday.
