Thornton (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.

Thornton was limited at practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session a day later has him on track to play Sunday against the Eagles, barring any setbacks. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation, but with an 8-123-0 line on 25 targets through 11 games, Thornton is off the fantasy radar.

Young (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Young logged consecutive limited practices as he continues to nurse the knee injury he has dealt with since Week 13. If past practice logs and game participation are any indicator, the outside linebacker should be available for Sunday's game against the Lions. Since being added to the injury report with the issue, Young has logged 12 tackles (7 solo), including 2.0 sacks, through two games and will likely add to that total in Week 15.

Thompson (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Thompson did not participate in practice Thursday, his second straight absence. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, as there was no clear sign of decreased snap count in Week 14. The 27-year-old will likely need to return Friday for a chance to play Sunday versus the Texans.

Dissly (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Dissly was a limited participant in Wednesday's session with a shoulder injury he likely sustained in the overtime win over the Eagles on Monday night. The tight end's upgrade to full participation and the corresponding clearing of an injury designation mean he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Dissly's projected availability will once again dampen Tyler Conklin's chances to garner active status after the No. 3 tight end was a healthy scratch in Dissly's return Monday night.

Adams (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

So far during Week 15 prep, Adams sat out Wednesday's walkthrough and then was seen rehabbing his hamstring on the side one day later, ultimately going down as a non-participant for a second straight session. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week, but there's been no indication from coach Sean McVay that Adams is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Lions.

Wilson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice,Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Wilson played 95 percent of defensive snaps in last Thursday's loss to the Lions, where he picked up a knee injury. After a limited session Wednesday, the strong safety was able to upgrade to a full participant and is cleared of any injury designation for this Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Bolton (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Bolton was not listed on the injury report Wednesday, but he was unable to participate Thursday with an unspecified illness. The 25-year-old star will likely need to return to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance to play Sunday versus the Chargers. The fifth-year pro has 112 tackles (54 solo), five pass breakups and a forced fumble through Week 14.

Luepke (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Luepke's ability to string consecutive practices together is a great sign for his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings. The fullback will have one more chance to avoid an injury designation for Sunday, and even without a full practice Friday, he seems to be in a good spot to be able to suit up against Minnesota.

Rumph (wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Rumph upgraded to full participation Thursday after being limited Wednesday due to a wrist injury. The defensive back is now cleared of that injury designation and should once again be set to play his normal amount of defensive snaps in the Saints' upcoming divisional matchup with the Panthers on Sunday.

Reid (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Reid was unable to practice Wednesday after missing the Week 14 win over the Buccaneers with a knee injury. The safety's upgrade to limited participation Thursday is a good sign for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Panthers. However, if the 28-year-old must misses a second consecutive game, Jordan Howden will likely log another start at strong safety.
