Taylor (neck) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor has missed the first two practices of Week 15 prep. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance to play Sunday at Jacksonville. Jeremy Ruckert would likely take on a larger role if Taylor sits out Sunday, with Stone Smartt (concussion) and Jelani Woods also possibly seeing more action.

Harris (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Harris was added to the injury report Thursday with a knee injury and was only able to log a limited practice with the issue. The defensive tackle was thrust into a starting role after Maliek Collins (quadriceps) suffered a season-ending injury against the 49ers in Week 13. The veteran will have one more practice to attempt to dodge an injury designation for Week 15, and if the tackle is unable to suit up, Sam Kamara and Mike Hall will likely see increased rotational snaps on the Browns' defensive line.

Kamara (knee/ankle) officially didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara hasn't practiced since he suffered a sprained MCL in Week 12 and now is in danger of missing a third game in a row Sunday versus the Panthers. No. 2 RB Devin Neal (abdomen) remained limited at Thursday's session, meaning Evan Hull and Audric Estime currently are the two healthy options at the position on the Saints' active roster.

Hall (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall mixed into positional drills after missing practice Wednesday, but he didn't quite reach full participation Thursday. Nonetheless, Hall doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jaguars, though his fantasy managers would gain peace of mind if Hall upgrades to full participation Friday and avoids an injury designation. Isaiah Davis is Hall's top backup.

Higgins (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Back-to-back limited listings would appear to give Higgins a chance to play Sunday against the Ravens, but he'll need to advance fully through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to approach the contest minus an injury designation. If Higgins ends up sidelined against Baltimore, Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley would be in line to see added Week 15 snaps behind top WR Ja'Marr Chase.

Lawrence (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Lawrence was a surprise inclusion on the Jaguars' initial Week 15 injury report after he was a limited participant Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but his ability to take full reps a day later clears up any lingering doubt about his availability for this Sunday's game versus the Jets. During the Jaguars' ongoing four-game winning streak, Lawrence has completed 65 of 109 pass attempts (59.6 percent) for 882 yards (8.1 YPA), eight touchdowns and four interceptions while adding 79 yards and a score on 17 carries.

Washington (hip) was limited in practice Thursday.

Washington has now logged four consecutive limited practice sessions dating back to Week 14, though he wasn't able to suit up then. If he manages to upgrade to full practice reps Friday, however, the No. 3 receiver could have a chance to avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game against the Jets. With Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brenton Strange all healthy for Jacksonville, however, Washington will be facing tough target competition even if he manages to suit up Week 15.

Delpit (illness/groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Delpit was absent from Wednesday's practice due to an illness, so the safety's upgrade to limited participation Thursday bodes well for his chances to suit up for Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 2020 second-rounder has not yet missed a game this season, and he will have one more opportunity Friday to dodge injury designation for Sunday's contest.

Bryant (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.

Bryant has missed Denver's first two practices in Week 15. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers. If Bryant's unable to play, it would be the first absence of the rookie third-round pick's NFL career.

Harrison (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Harrison suffered a concussion last Sunday against the Ravens, exiting the game in the second quarter and failing to return. The inside linebacker took his first step to clearing the league's concussion protocol Thursday by logging a limited practice. He will have two more chances to be cleared by an independent neurologist and upgrade to full practice before the Steelers' showdown with the Dolphins on Monday night.
