Jackson (ankle) is taking the practice field with his teammates Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson was listed as a limited participant Wednesday, but he was notably absent from the portion of practice open to the media. The star QB is present during the media-access portion Thursday, but it remains to be seen if Jackson has progressed to full participation. Jackson missed Baltimore's previous two games, during which Tyler Huntley posted a 1-1 record while filling in under center.

Hall (quadriceps) was stretching with the rest of the team at the beginning of Thursday's practice, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Hall is present for the start of Thursday's practice and looks ready to practice in at least some capacity for the first time since he injured his quadriceps during the Jets' Week 3 loss to Detroit. Braelon Allen has filled in capably while starting the past three games in Hall's absence. If Hall, who didn't practice Wednesday, ultimately gets the green light to face Miami on Sunday, he and Allen would likely both see involvement against the winless Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, Hall had been receiving the majority of touches over Allen.

Schultz (qaudriceps) returned to practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Schultz sat out practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury. His participation level Thursday will be revealed later in the day, but it's a good sign that Schultz is set to practice in at least some capacity. He remains locked in atop Houston's depth chart at tight end when healthy. The Texans have made their way back from London and will host the Giants on Sunday.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that the Packers have no concern regarding Golden's (shoulder) availability for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Golden and Christian Watson (ankle) were both listed as limited participants at Wednesday's practice, but Green Bay's coach is confident that both starting wideouts will be available Sunday. Watson (538) and Golden (501) have combined for the most yards by any pair of teammates at wide receiver in the league this season.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that the team has no concern regarding Watson's (ankle) availability for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

LaFleur said the same thing about Matthew Golden (shoulder) after Green Bay's top two wide receivers were both limited participants at Wednesday's practice. Watson may continue to have his practice reps monitored, but he isn't in any danger of sitting out Sunday's matchup against Detroit's struggling secondary.

Irving (illness) was back at practice Thursday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's session due to an illness, Irving joined his teammates on the practice field Thursday, though it remains to be seen if he can ramp up to full participation. His availability for Sunday's game against the Panthers doesn't seem to be in any danger, so Irving is likely to work in his customary lead role come Sunday, ahead of Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker.

Egbuka (concussion/foot) was working on the side with a trainer at Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's practice, Egbuka was spotted Thursday but it remains to be seen whether or not he will be credited with any official level of practice participation. He'll need to log a full practice Friday to have a chance to clear concussion protocol before Sunday's game against the Panthers, and Egbuka is also nursing a foot injury to further complicate his path to availability.

The Cardinals expect to remain without Love (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports Thursday.

Love didn't practice Wednesday after sitting out this past Sunday's win over the Rams. He still has two more opportunities to resume practicing and give himself a chance to return Sunday against the Broncos, but the Cardinals are pessimistic regarding the rookie third overall pick's availability. If Love misses a second consecutive game, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight would be in line for additional opportunities against a Denver run defense that has been surprisingly weak this season.

Thompson (quadriceps) was active but didn't play any snaps Sunday in the Chargers' 22-6 loss to the Chiefs.

After sitting out the Chargers' previous three games due to the quad issue, Thompson was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's contest after three limited practices. Though he got the green light to suit up, Thompson was presumably available only in an emergency since the Chargers' seven-man inactive list consisted of players who were dealing with more significant injuries. Thompson will have added time to get healthy while the Chargers are on bye Week 7, and if he can fully practice at some point during Week 8, he'll have a good chance at seeing his first game action since Week 2 in the team's Nov. 1 matchup with the Rams.

Coleman (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Coleman's full participation Wednesday after he was designated to return from injured reserve is an encouraging sign regarding his health ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, though the rookie running back will still need to be added back to the active roster with a subsequent transaction in order to suit up Sunday. Barring any setbacks, Coleman appears poised to rejoin a crowded Broncos backfield that also includes J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie (thumb).
