To'oTo'o (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

To'oTo'o has been on IR for the Texans' last four games after sustaining a shoulder injury back in Week 1 versus the Bills, but it now seems like he's close to being back to full strength. He still needs to be officially activated from Houston's injured reserve list before he'll be able to return to game action.

Wallace (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Wallace has sat out the Browns' last two games because of a nagging knee injury, and while he was at least able to return to practice Wednesday, it's evidently still bothering him. If he can't manage a full practice Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Schwesinger (ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Schwesinger suffered a Grade 1 right ankle sprain in the Browns' contest against the Jets in Week 5, and his status for Week 6 is now in serious doubt. Unless he's able to get back on the practice field Friday, it's unlikely he'll be able to suit up Sunday versus the Ravens.

Vannett (knee) practiced in full Thursday.

Vannett was limited Wednesday, though after being upgraded Thursday, he is cleared to suit up in Week 6 versus Cleveland. With Matthew Hibner (hand) uncertain to play in Sunday's meeting with the Browns, Vannett could be on the field more than usual. However, he still likely won't have much of a role behind Mark Andrews and Josh Cuevas.

Ryan (calf) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Ryan started the week by missing practice Wednesday with the same injury that kept him sidelined in Week 5 against the Jets, but he's now trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens. If he can upgrade to full participation at practice Friday, he might be able to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Love (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Love now has just one more chance to mix into drills this week Friday before the Cardinals potentially make a decision on his status for Sunday's game at the Rams. Considering head coach Mike LaFleur told Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic on Wednesday that the team wants to "get this ankle right and do it the right way," there's a chance that means missed games and not just missed practices for Love. In the event Arizona opts to sit Love this weekend, Tyler Allgeier will stand to step in as the lead runner, with Bam Knight in reserve.

Graham (knee/ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Graham still has not practiced since suffering an MCL sprain and an ankle sprain in Week 4 versus the Steelers, and it's looking increasingly unlikely he's going to suit up for Week 6. Barring a return to practice Friday, he'll probably be ruled out when Cleveland publishes its last official injury report of the week Friday.

Hibner (hand) did not practice Thursday.

Hibner injured his hand in Sunday's overtime win over Atlanta. While he managed to return to the contest, he has since missed the Ravens' last two practice sessions. Hibner will likely need to practice Friday if he hopes to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Cleveland. If he can't get on the field in Week 6, Josh Cuevas and Nick Vannett would presumably see more targets behind Mark Andrews.

Hooker (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Hooker was sidelined in Week 5 versus the Texans because of a concussion he suffered back in Week 4 at Baltimore, but it looks like he's making good progress towards returning to game action. With that said, if he hasn't gotten it already, he'll still need to obtain clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting league concussion protocol and getting the okay to play again.

Gonzalez (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Gonzalez missed the Patriots' last two games. He practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. However, after being upgraded to a full participant Thursday, Gonzalez has the green light to suit up for the AFC East clash with the Jets.
