Pollard (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's session due to his ankle issue, Pollard's return is a positive sign for Tennessee's lead running back heading into Week 3 prep. Pollard's availability for Week 3 is particularly important, with Tyjae Spears (ankle) not present for the open portion of Thursday's practice. Friday's practice will tell the tale for Pollard's status going into the Titans' matchup with the Giants.

Coker (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.

After getting in a limited session Wednesday, Coker was unable to get any work one day later due to a lingering ankle issue. He was joined as a non-participant by fellow WR Xavier Legette (knee) on Thursday, leaving Brycen Tremayne and John Metchie as the other healthy options at the position behind No. 1 Tetairoa McMillan.

Nabers said Thursday that he received "good results" on X-rays on his right shoulder, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Nabers missed some time during Monday's 28-6 loss at the Rams, a contest in which the Giants lost QB Jaxson Dart (knee) for the rest of the regular season. With Jameis Winston under center for most of the Week 2 matchup, Nabers finished with just one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Nabers officially went down as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and restrictions on his workload may continue the rest of the week, but his comments indicate that he'll be able to play through his current health concern.

Bowers (knee) is practicing for a second straight day Thursday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Bowers is on the field for the second straight day and has now taken part in three straight Raiders practices dating back to last Friday. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, so if he can maintain that level of activity or upgrade to full participation Thursday, Bowers would be in good position to make his 2026 debut Sunday in New Orleans. The standout tight end missed the Raiders' first two games of the season while recovering from a Sept. 8 meniscus trim of his left knee.

Coleman (ankle) wasn't spotted at the start of Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Both Coleman and DJ Moore (shoulder) appear to be sitting out practice Thursday, leaving Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer and Skyler Bell as Buffalo's only healthy wide receivers. Coleman will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Moore (shoulder) was not spotted on the practice field at the beginning of Thursday's session, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

There's still a chance Moore joins his teammates for practice Thursday but it's noteworthy nonetheless that he's not there as things get underway. Moore, who suffered an AC joint sprain in the Week 2 win over the Lions, reportedly "felt great" after Wednesday's practice, though he was in a non-contact jersey. The rest of the week will give more clarity on Moore's status as Sunday approaches. Buscaglia added that Keon Coleman (ankle) was also absent for the start of Thursday's session.

Coker (ankle) was spotted using an exercise bike at the beginning of Thursday's practice, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

Coker was listed as limited Wednesday due to an ankle injury and seems likely to go down as limited again Thursday once the Panthers release their practice report. He experienced some practice limitations due to an ankle injury during the previous week but suited up for this past Sunday's win over the Falcons, in which Coker secured eight of nine targets for 66 yards. Coker and Tetairoa McMillan have been one of the league's most effective wide receiver duos to begin the season.

Douglas (ankle) wasn't present at the open portion of Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Douglas thus appears set to miss a second session in a row to begin Week 3 prep due to the ankle injury that knocked him out of the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at San Francisco. Meanwhile, Chris Bell (knee) appeared to mix into some drills, so the statuses of two of the Dolphins' rookie wide receivers may be trending in different directions ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

Bell (knee) "mostly worked on the side" during the media-viewing portion of Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

After being listed as a limited participant Wednesday, Bell appears to have taken a step back Thursday, assuming he indeed goes down as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report. Fellow rookie third-round pick Caleb Douglas (ankle) also wasn't spotted Thursday, leaving Miami banged up at wide receiver behind de facto top option Malik Washington ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

Flowers (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, though he worked out on his own prior to practice, Kyle Goon of The Baltimore Banner reports.

Flowers has yet to resume officially participating in practice since sustaining a hamstring injury during Baltimore's season-opening win over the Colts. The speedy wide receiver sat out the Week 2 loss to the Saints and is in danger of missing a second consecutive game Sunday against the Cowboys. Flowers would likely need to practice in at least some capacity Friday to have a chance to play Sunday.
