Smith (hip/rest) was limited in Thursday's practice.

The hip issue is new for Smith after he was listed as a DNP due to rest only Wednesday. However, the limited practice would suggest Smith has a chance to play Sunday morning against the Vikings unless he was injured in Thursday's session. If Smith were unable to go, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington would handle tight-end duties for the Steelers.

Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nabers made a brief exit in the second half of Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs when he broke up a deep shot from QB Russell Wilson in the end zone that left the wide receiver in pain on the turf for a spell. He followed up Wednesday's lack of activity with some drills Thursday and now has one more chance to practice this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chargers. If Nabers is able to suit up this weekend, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart.

Legette (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.

Legette got in a trio of limited practices last week with the hamstring issue but was ultimately inactive for Week 3 against the Falcons. He's now logging DNPs this week, and it's unclear if he experience some sort of setback with the hamstring. David Moore played a position-high 97 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday versus Atlanta and would be in line for increased reps again if Legette is unable to play.

Hubbard was limited in practice Thursday due to a calf injury.

Hubbard avoided the Panthers' first Week 4 practice report Wednesday, so his addition to it one day later could be cause for concern. Through three games this season, he's accounted for 242 yards from scrimmage and two receiving TDs on 53 touches, while backup RBs Rico Dowdle (23 touches) and Trevor Etienne (two) have combined for less than half of that total. Friday's report will be key for determining if Hubbard will continue to dominate work out of Carolina's backfield.

The 49ers placed Bosa (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

Bosa torę his ACL in last Sunday's win over the Cardinals and will miss the remainder of the season. He's slated to undergo surgery Friday, as the star edge rusher suffered a clean tear of the ACL, paving the way for a relatively straightforward rehab process. Bosa turns 28 years old next month and will wrap up the 2025 campaign with 17 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across three regular-season contests. He was on his way to yet another big season on the stat sheet.

McMillan (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice.

McMillan popped up on Wednesday's injury report as a non-participant due to a hamstring issue, but he told David Newton of ESPN.com afterward that he'd be good to go for Sunday's contest at New England. Thursday's return to drills is a step in the right direction, but McMillan may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation entering the weekend.

Loveland (hip) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Loveland left this past Sunday's win against the Cowboys in the second quarter due to a hip injury and wasn't able to return. Since then, the rookie first-round pick hasn't been able to practice this week, giving him one more chance to mix into drills before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game in Las Vegas. If Loveland misses the first game of his career, veteran TE Cole Kmet would be in line for a few more passes from QB Caleb Williams.

Kmet (groin) practiced in full Thursday.

One day removed from being limited due to a groin injury Wednesday, Kmet didn't have any practice restrictions, while rookie TE Colston Loveland remained sidelined due to the hip issue that he suffered this past Sunday against the Cowboys. If Loveland is inhibited or sidelined Sunday at Las Vegas, Kmet would be in line for a bump in volume in the Bears' passing game.

Swift (hip) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Swift maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he deals with a hip injury, leaving him just one more opportunity to prove his health ahead of the weekend. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Through three weeks this season, Swift is averaging 17 touches for 70.7 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one touchdown.

Charbonnet (foot) is expected to play Thursday at Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Seahawks held Charbonnet out of their Week 3 win against the Saints as he tended to a foot issue. He then logged a full walkthrough Tuesday and full practice Wednesday before the team tagged him with a questionable designation for Thursday's game. Charbonnet's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's back in action, he likely will resume his timeshare out of Seattle's backfield with Kenneth Walker.
