Tony Pollard RB | TEN
Titans' Tony Pollard: Set to practice Thursday
Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that Pollard (foot) is expected to practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Pollard sat out Wednesday's practice due to the foot injury, but he may have been getting more of a maintenance day after handling a season-high 21 touches in this past Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants. Though it's unclear if he'll be a limited or full participant Thursday in his return to practice, Pollard looks on track to be ready to play this weekend against the Ravens.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Return window opens Thursday
Charbonnet (knee) was designated to return to practice Thursday.
Thursday's move opens the 21-day window for Charbonnet to resume practicing, during which he can be added to the active roster. Charbonnet is ineligible to play against the Chargers on Sunday after being placed on the reserve/PUP list to begin the season, but he could suit up as soon as Week 5 against the 49ers if added to the roster. Jadarian Price (chest), Emanuel Wilson and George Holani (ribs) have held the fort at running back while Charbonnet works his way back from a torn ACL sustained last postseason.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Practicing again Thursday
Collins (hamstring) is taking part in Thursday's padded practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
After missing the Texans' last two games due a Grade 1 hamstring strain, Collins returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant. The Texans will release their second Week 4 injury report later Thursday, but Collins appears poised to at least maintain limited participation. If he can make it through the practice week no worse for the wear, the star wideout looks to be trending toward a return to the lineup this Sunday versus the Cowboys.

Brandin Echols CB | PIT
Steelers' Brandin Echols: Cleared to play Thursday
Echols (concussion) no longer has an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Browns.
A limited practice participant through Week 4 prep, Echols had been listed as questionable heading into Thursday. However, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com relayed Wednesday that the cornerback had cleared the five-step concussion protocol, and the Steelers have now signed off on Echols playing on a short week. Through Pittsburgh's first three games, Echols has accrued two tackles while handling a limited role on defense and serving as a key player on special teams.

Yahya Black DE | PIT
Steelers' Yahya Black: Receives questionable tag for Thursday
The Steelers added Black to their injury report and list him as questionable for Thursday's game against the Browns due to a personal matter.
Black's status for Thursday's game will be clarified when the Steelers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. The 24-year-old has filled a rotational role along the Steelers' defensive line this season, logging no more than 40 percent of the snaps in any of the team's three contests while accruing four tackles.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Returns to practice Thursday
Godwin (ankle) is participating in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
It remains to be seen whether Godwin goes down as a full participant or limited participant Thursday, but any level of activity already marks a step in the right direction after the veteran wide receiver didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. Even if he alleviates any concerns about the ankle injury by Sunday's game against the Packers, Godwin will still be a risky fantasy option in the first start for undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels, who is filling in for Baker Mayfield (thumb).

Commanders' Rachaad White: Remains sidelined Thursday
White (shoulder) isn't practicing again Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
White is sitting out a second consecutive practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts in London, which will kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET. If White is unable to suit up, the recently signed Austin Ekeler could slot in for passing-down work in a Commanders backfield that also includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Kaytron Allen.

Joey Porter Jr. CB | DAL
Cowboys' Joey Porter: Gets moved to Dallas
The Steelers and Cowboys have agreed to terms on a trade to send Porter to Dallas, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Porter has been staging a hold-in of sorts since the start of training camp, citing a back injury that continually flares up since he begin missing regular-season contests in Week 1. Now that the situation has resolved itself and he's moving on to the Cowboys, it remains to be seen when he may be healthy enough to suit up for actual game action. As for the compensation going back to Pittsburgh, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports the Steelers are receiving a second-round pick and a conditional sixth-rounder from Dallas.

Styles and fellow linebacker Kain Medrano combine for two interceptions in Sunday's contest.

The linebacker also played all 67 defensive snaps for the Commanders in the close win.

Kain Medrano LB | WAS
Commanders' Kain Medrano: Scores touchdown in close win
Medrano logged five tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed for a 50-yard pick-six in the Commanders' 33-31 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Medrano intercepted Sam Darnold late in the fourth quarter, taking the pick 50 yards to the house to extend the Commanders' three-point lead to 10 points with 3:57 left to play. The linebacker's heroics all but secured the win. Medrano was starting due to the absence of Frankie Luvu (groin).
