The Dolphins activated Marshall (hamstring) from injured reserve Thursday.

Marshall is still listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Ravens, but his activation off IR is a sign he'll be available to play. The rookie fifth-rounder landed on IR in late September due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Bills in Week 3.

Pola-Mao (knee/ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Pola-Mao sustained an ankle injury during the Raiders' Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, and he now appears to also be working through a knee issue. He downgraded from a full participant in Wednesday's practice to a limited participant Thursday, so Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against Jacksonville on Sunday. Tristin McCollum would be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Jeremy Chinn if Pola-Mao is not cleared to play Week 9.

Butler (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Butler has been rehabbing from a back injury he sustained in Week 7 against the Chiefs, and he got extra time to rest courtesy of the Raiders' Week 8 bye. He's opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and a full practice Friday would put him on track to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

Pitre (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

A foot injury limited Pitre's participation in Wednesday's practice, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Broncos. The fourth-year corner has 39 tackles (25 solo) and five pass defenses (three interceptions) through seven regular-season games.

Purdy (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Purdy has strung together eight consecutive limited listings on 49ers injury reports as he seeks his first game action since Week 4 due to a turf toe injury. On Monday, coach Kyle Shanahan told Wagoner that he didn't think it was a "long shot" for Purdy to play Week 9, but the fourth-year signal-caller now has just one more chance to get back to full Friday before San Francisco potentially makes a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants. If Purdy is sidelined again this weekend, Mac Jones would make his seventh start of the season.

Thomas (migraine) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

A migraine has prevented Thomas from playing in the Cowboys' last two games. He would likely have to log a full practice over the next two days to have a realistic chance of being cleared to play against the Cardinals on Monday. Markquese Bell would continue to enjoy an expanded role on defense for as long as Thomas is on the shelf.

The Cowboys listed Revel (knee) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Revel continues to recover from a torn ACL that he suffered in September of 2024. He was cleared to return to practice Oct. 22 after starting the 2025 season on the non-football injury list, but he'll need to log full practices before the Cowboys activate him from the NFI list.

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

Machota relays that Overshown was tagged as limited after briefly leaving Thursday's practice before returning later in the session. The third-year linebacker continues to rehab from torn a ACL, MCL and PCL that he sustained in December and has spent the first half of the 2025 regular season on the reserve/PUP list. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 22, and he would likely have to log full practices before being activated from the reserve/PUP list.

Murray (foot) officially was limited at Thursday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

On the heels of the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com on Thursday that the team is preparing Murray to start Monday's game at Dallas. "Get him fully healthy, play," Gannon added after Murray missed Arizona's last two games due to a mid-foot sprain. During Thursday's session, No. 2 QB Jacoby Brissett was spotted throwing to the starters, while Murray was working with reserve pass catchers, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. The Cardinals also pushed back their QB availability to later this week after Murray initially was expected to speak to the media Thursday, according to Weinfuss. As a result, it remains up in the air if Murray indeed will resume starting duties Week 9.

Hunter was limited in practice Thursday by a knee issue.

Hunter wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it's unclear if his listed limitations a day later are indicative of an issue stemming from the team's first practice or the result of something that cropped up Thursday. In any case, Hunter's status, along with that of fellow WR Brian Thomas (shoulder, limited) must now be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
