Elliss (calf) did not participate at the Saints' practice Thursday.

Elliss is dealing with an apparent calf injury as the team gets ready to face Atlanta on Monday night. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a practice before the team's Week 4 contest.

Cooper (concussion/shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Cooper suffered a concussion in last Thursday's game against Atlanta and is also dealing with a shoulder issue. Even if the latter injury is minor, he'll have to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to be able to suit up Sunday versus Tampa Bay. If Cooper is unable to play in Week 4, Isaiah McDuffie could be asked to start at linebacker.

Banks (calf) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Banks has missed each of New York's past two games due to a calf injury. He was a limited practice participant all of last week and has begun Week 4 with consecutive limited sessions as well. If Banks is unable to return to action this Sunday against Arizona, Colton Hood will likely get another start at cornerback.

Stukes logged a second straight full practice Thursday.

Stukes appears to be on track to return to action Sunday versus the Chiefs after head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that 25-year-old cleared concussion protocol, per Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site. Stukes has compiled 10 total tackles (six solo) and an interception over two contests this year, and he'll likely return to his starting role at free safety in Week 4.

Raridon (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Raridon was limited again Thursday. If the thigh injury keeps the rookie off the field in the Week 4 meeting with the Bills, Tanner Arkin could see more snaps behind Hunter Henry and Cameron Latu.

Nubin (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nubin has now practiced in a limited capacity in each of New York's sessions dating back to Wednesday of last week. He wasn't able to suit up for this past Sunday's win over Tennessee, and it's uncertain whether he'll be able to return to action in Week 4 versus the Cardinals. With Nubin sidelined against the Titans, Ar'Darius Washington drew the start, but he played only 27 percent of the Giants' defensive snaps while Jason Pinnock logged a 75 percent defensive snap share in his 2026 debut.

Trotter (shoulder) was a full participant at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

Trotter was limited at Wednesday's first practice of the week due to the shoulder issue that sidelined him for Week 3 against Minnesota. The rookie now looks to be back to full health, and he'll likely be back in his starting role at inside linebacker Sunday versus the Packers.

Jones (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Jones suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 2 win over Pittsburgh and wasn't able to suit up in Week 3 against Jacksonville. It appears he's moving in a favorable direction toward a return. However, if Jones can't get on the field for the AFC East clash with the Bills in Week 4, Gabe Jacas should continue to fill the void.

Tracy (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Tracy didn't practice at all Wednesday, so his return (albeit in a limited fashion) Thursday is a sign that he's improving. The third-year pro seems to have a chance of playing Week 4 against Arizona, though he'll likely have an injury designation heading into the weekend if he's not able to practice fully Friday. Even if Tracy does suit up Sunday, he's unlikely to have a major role on offense given that he's logged just four offensive snaps through three contests on the campaign.

Parkinson (knee/shoulder) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

In addition to the shoulder injury he suffered last Sunday against Denver, Parkinson is still battling through a knee issue. If neither he nor Terrance Ferguson (ankle) are able to play Sunday against the Eagles, the Rams will need to lean on Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and rookie Max Klare at tight end.
