Barkley (shoulder) said Thursday that his MRI "went well" when asked about his chances of playing in Monday's game at Chicago, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Barkley departed after the Eagles' first offensive snap this past Sunday at Tennessee and was diagnosed with a stinger, but he returned after halftime and finished Week 2 with four carries for nine yards and one catch (on two targets) for 11 yards. Because the Eagles play the Bears on Monday Night Football in Week 3, Philadelphia didn't hold practice until Thursday this week, and Barkley was seen wearing a protective device on his shoulder and neck area during the open portion of that session, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. Barkley's activity level will become known once the team posts its first injury report of the week.

Harper (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

This will mark the second consecutive practice Harper has missed this week, so things aren't looking too promising ahead of the Week 3 meeting with the Jets. The 25-year-old appeared in both of Detroit's games this season, amassing five total tackles and two passes defended.

The Dolphins signed Henning to the practice squad Thursday.

Henning was waived by Miami on Aug. 31 but will now find himself back on the practice squad. While he is not on the active roster currently, that may change ahead of the Week 3 meeting with the Chiefs if Caleb Douglas (ankle), Ryan Miller (hip) and/or Chris Bell (knee) aren't available.

Bowers (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Though Bowers has remained listed as limited in three consecutive practices dating back to last Friday, it's generally a positive sign for his chances of being available to make his season debut this Sunday in New Orleans. Before deciding whether Bowers carries a designation into the weekend, the Raiders will see if he's able to potentially upgrade to full activity in Friday's session. If he ends up being cleared to suit up Sunday, Bowers could still have his snap count managed to some degree as he works to regain full conditioning coming off a meniscus trim of his left knee, which he underwent Sept. 8.

Emmanwori (ankle) will have a "significantly higher" workload in Week 3, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.

Emmanwori made his 2026 campaign debut in the 31-7 win over Arizona in Week 2 after missing the opener while still working his way back from July ankle surgery, finishing with one solo tackle in nine defensive snaps. Although head coach Mike Macdonald didn't reveal exactly how much Emmanwori will play in Week 3 versus Washington, he stated that the nickel corner would "be out there a good bit."

Moore (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

Moore kicked off Week 3 prep Wednesday as a limited participant, but it's unclear if his lack of activity a day later was the result of a setback or more of a pre-planned maintenance day while he tends to an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. In any case, what Moore is able to do during the Bills' final practice of the week Friday will ultimately determine whether he takes a designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Jones (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Jones opened Week 3 prep with no practice reps Wednesday due to a knee injury, but his ability to mix into some drills one day later is a positive step as the Vikings prepare for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he has a designation ahead of that matchup.

Coleman (ankle) was spotted on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Coleman was sidelined for the Broncos' first practice of the week Wednesday due to an ankle sprain, but he looks poised to take a step forward in terms of activity a day later. He's one of three Denver running backs on the Week 3 injury report, though Coleman, J.K. Dobbins (hip) and RJ Harvey (hamstring) all appear set to practice in some fashion Thursday.

Harvey (hamstring) was spotted on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

After sitting out the Broncos' Week 2 win over the Jaguars, Harvey opened Week 3 prep as a limited participant Wednesday. If he can upgrade to full activity Thursday, it would clear up any concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Rams. He's one of three Denver running backs on the injury report this week, as J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) was limited and Jonah Coleman (ankle) didn't participate in the team's first practice of the week.

Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Collins seems to be headed toward a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Colts, as he hasn't practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury last Wednesday. Barring an improbable recovery from Collins, which would be precipitated by a return to practice Friday, Dalton Schultz is likely to function as the top pass catcher for C.J. Stroud on Sunday. Schultz caught 12 of 14 targets for 140 yards in Collins' absence against the Bengals this past Sunday, while Stroud connected on only nine of 26 passes intended for Houston's wide receivers.
