Parkinson (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The tight end sprained the AC joint in his shoulder during the Rams' Week 1 win over the Texans and then missed the team's Week 2 victory over the Titans. Parkinson did not even suit up for practice last week, so his limited participation this week might be a good sign ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Eagles. The former Seahawk played on 28 offensive snaps in Week 1, catching both of his targets for minus-6 yards.

Shipley (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Shipley was unable to practice Wednesday due to an oblique injury, so his return to action Thursday is a positive sign. The running back will look to log a full practice Friday before the team faces the Rams on Sunday.

Jennings (ankle/shoulder) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

For a second week in a row, Jennings has missed the first two practices, only this time he's dealing with the previous left shoulder injury and also an ankle issue. If he replicates his ending to last week, he'll be limited at Friday's session and questionable entering the weekend. While playing through the shoulder concern during a Week 2 win at New Orleans, he handled an 87 percent snap share and gathered in five of 10 targets from fill-in quarterback Mac Jones for 89 yards and one touchdown. If Jennings is able suit up Sunday against the Cardinals, he may be working with typical starting QB Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder), who has logged back-to-back limited practices this week.

Johnson (quadriceps) is active for Thursday night's contest against the Dolphins.

Johnson will return to action in Week 3 after missing the team's 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2 with a quadriceps injury. The 29-year-old will be back in his starting role at slot cornerback versus Miami on Thursday Night Football.

Lewis (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

Lewis had a questionable tag heading into the game due to a shoulder injury after practicing in limited fashion throughout the week. He'll be ready for action and could see some work in the secondary after playing 33 defensive snaps in Week 2.

Jones (oblique) is active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

The defensive tackle was listed as questionable Wednesday after being tagged as a limited participant on Miami's practice reports this week. Jones suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Colts and missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the Patriots. In the opener, he played on 18 defensive snaps but did not record a stat.

Thompson (hand/hamstring) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

Thompson was inactive for Week 2 due to a combination of hand and hamstring injuries. He'll limit his absence to one game and will likely play primarily on special teams, though his role could expand a bit in the absence of Matt Milano (pectoral).

Robinson (knee) is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Bills.

The 2024 first-round pick was listed as a limited participant throughout the practice week leading up to this game. Robinson logged 36 and 21 defensive snaps, respectively, in Miami's first two contests, and he has three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, on the season.

Darrisaw (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Darrisaw was unavailable for practice Thursday, just one day after being a full participant to open the week. The offensive lineman hasn't appeared in a game since last October, and he'll likely have to return to practice Friday in order to have any chance to play Sunday against Cincinnati.

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

Purdy now has put together back-to-back capped sessions, after which he touched on his health Thursday. Calling his turf toe variant a day-to-day issue, he told Matt Barrows of The Athletic that he's "happy with the progress I've been making with my foot, my toe. ... [We] gotta see at game time how I feel." Whether Purdy retakes the reins of the offense from Mac Jones this Sunday versus the Cardinals remains to be seen, but the range of possibilities for him appear to be starter, backup or even emergency third quarterback.
