Darrisaw (concussion) was a full participant at the Vikings practice Thursday.

Darrisaw has opened the week with back-to-back full practices, but it is unclear if he has cleared concussion protocol quite yet. The offensive lineman's status for Week 7 will become much more clear when Minnesota releases its final injury report of the week following Friday's practice.

Banks (toe) logged a limited practice session Wednesday and Thursday.

Banks has now been limited at each of Green Bay's past six practices. He's been sidelined since getting hurt Week 2, though he at least entered last weekend deemed questionable to suit up. Banks may carry the same tag into this Sunday's matchup against Detroit, but it would help his case to be able to return to action if he's able to upgrade to full participation Friday.

Eluemanor (calf) was a limited participant at the Giants' practice Thursday.

Eluemanor was inactive for the team's Week 6 loss to the Saints while nursing a calf injury, and he opened the week as a non-participant at practice Wednesday. The offensive lineman's ability to return to practice Thursday is a step in the right direction, and he'll have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with Houston.

The Falcons designated Williams (ankle) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Per Tori McElhaney of the team's official site, Williams was a limited participant at practice Thursday. The transaction opens a 21-day window during which Atlanta can take Williams off IR, after which point he'd be required to stay there for the remainder of the campaign.

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.
