Prescott (thumb) didn't practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Prescott showed up on the field Thursday without a brace on his right thumb, instead going through the motions with a tape job, according to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News. During the portion of the session open to the media, Prescott handled some snaps and made some light throws, per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, but the activity wasn't enough for the Cowboys to list him as a limited participant. At this point, Prescott seems hard-pressed to be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders, but he told Lorenzo Reyes of USA Today on Monday that he's keying in a return Week 5 at the Rams, even though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested Thursday that Week 6 in Philadelphia may be the more realistic target for his return. As long as Prescott is sidelined, Cooper Rush will direct Dallas' offense.

Jones (ankle) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Though Jones, who didn't practice Wednesday, reportedly is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, at this stage the QB isn't counting himself out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports. If Jones ends up being ruled out for the contest, however, Brian Hoyer would draw the start at QB for New England versus Green Bay in Week 4.

Jones (ankle), who didn't practice Wednesday, believes that he has a chance to play Sunday against the Packers, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.

It remains to be seen if Jones will be able to practice in any capacity Thursday, but Giardi indicates that the QB is participating in game planning ahead of Sunday's contest. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN, Jones suffered a high ankle sprain versus the Ravens in Week 3, while coach Bill Belichick has made a point of saying that the Patriots are taking it "day-by-day" with their Week 4 signal-caller plans.

Offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael confirmed that Winston (back/ankle/hip) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, but he's hopeful the quarterback will be on the field Friday, Erin Summers of the Saints' official site reports.

After Winston was withheld from the Saints' first practice Wednesday in London, head coach Dennis Allen expressed optimism that the quarterback would take some reps Thursday, but that ultimately didn't come to fruition. Carmichael noted that the Saints' plans for Winston changed later Wednesday, and the back-to-back absences of practice to begin the week suddenly puts the 28-year-old's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings more in question than originally believed. Andy Dalton once again took first-team reps Thursday and would be in line to start Sunday if Winston is unable to play through his injuries. In addition to dealing with four fractures in his back, Winston is still battling an ankle issue that cropped up following Week 2 action along with a hip flexor injury.

Winston (back/ankle/hip) is not present at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

Winston appears to be missing a second straight practice session, and he told reporters Thursday that he's nursing a hip flexor injury in addition to his previously disclosed back and ankle issues, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Coach Dennis Allen and Winston have both expressed that they expect the No. 1 quarterback to be available Sunday vs. Minnesota, but it remains to be seen whether his absence Thursday represents a setback. Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that it was expected Winston would practice in some capacity Thursday.

Tagovailoa (back/ankle) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game in Cincinnati, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Tagovailoa is officially listed as questionable on Miami's injury report, but he's said he plans to play and things still appear to be trending in that direction. Having the third-year quarterback under center will be good news for the fantasy prospects of top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (groin), though the latter is also listed as questionable. The Dolphins would turn to Teddy Bridgewater were Tagovailoa to suffer any setbacks, but it's expected that Miami's No. 1 QB will avoid the official inactives list, which will be released ahead of Thursday's 8:15 ET kickoff.

Scott (rib) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Scott is a distant third in terms of offensive snaps (36) behind Miles Sanders (112) and Kenneth Gainwell (60) through three games. While Scott has nearly matched Gainwell in touches, 11-13, the former now is in danger of sitting out Week 4 entirely. Scott at least has Friday's practice to make his presence felt, but if he's inactive Sunday against the Jaguars, Trey Sermon likely will be available as the Eagles' third running back.

Pierce (hip) returned to a full practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Pierce logged a limited practice Wednesday, but his return to full participation puts the 2022 fourth-round on track to lead the Texans' backfield Sunday against the Chargers. In his team's 23-20 loss to the Bears in Week 3, Pierce was Houston's clear-cut top back, recording 20 carries for 80 yards and a TD, to go along with two catches for 21 yards. He did fumble twice in the contest, but both were recovered by the Texans. As long as that's not a recurring issue for the rookie, Pierce should maintain solid volume in the weeks ahead, with Rex Burkhead on hand to work in a change-of-pace role.

Dobbins (chest) practiced fully Thursday.

Dobbins, who made his season debut in Week 3 against the Patriots after returning from a major knee injury, was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury, but his full participation Thursday paves the way for the 2020 second-rounder to play Sunday against the Bills. After being limited to 27 snaps and seven carries in his return to action this past weekend, Dobbins could see an uptick in touches in Week 4, with Justice Hill -- who logged six carries for 60 yards versus New England -- also poised to be a factor in the Baltimore's backfield mix versus Buffalo.

Dillon (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Dillon made a surprise showing on Wednesday's practice report as limited with a knee issue, but in the end it wasn't cause for concern ahead of Sunday's contest against the Patriots. His efficiency on the ground has been lacking through three games -- 3.5 YPC on 40 rushes -- but he's supplemented his stat line with eight catches (on 12 targets) for 58 yards while scoring one TD on the ground.

The Falcons withheld Patterson from a second straight practice for rest-related reasons, Ashton Edmunds of the team's official site reports.

Officially, the Falcons attributed Patterson's absence to "resting player/knee" on their Week 4 injury report, so his lack of on-field work may not have been entirely for maintenance purposes. Moreover, Atlanta held a non-padded practice Thursday, so Patterson wouldn't have taken contact even if he had participated. At this stage, head coach Arthur Smith hasn't suggested that Patterson is at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Falcons, but fantasy managers will still want to keep an eye on news pertaining to the 31-year-old as the weekend approaches. Patterson is coming off a career-best 141-yard rushing performance in last week's win over the Seahawks.

Sanders (hip) practiced fully Thursday.

One day removed from being a limited practice participant due to a hip issue, Sanders logged every rep Thursday, implying Wednesday's cap on his reps was for maintenance-related reasons. He's thus clear to lead the Eagles backfield Sunday against the Jaguars, which so far has equated to 51 touches for 235 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD in three games this season.

Perriman (knee/hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.

Perriman was able to play through a knee injury Weeks 2 and 3 en route to a cumulative 6-89-1 line on nine targets. Even if he's able to make himself available Sunday against the Chiefs, he has yet to practice this week, while all of Chris Godwin (hamstring), Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) have managed at least one capped session. As a result, Perriman seems like the least likely of the aforementioned wide receivers to be available this weekend, which could be confirmed as of the release of Friday's injury report.

Gage (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Both Gage and Julio Jones (knee) had a cap on their reps in the second session of Week 4 prep, while Chris Godwin (hamstring) was given a veteran rest day Thursday, and Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) has yet to practice this week. Among the quartet, Gage and Jones seem like the best bets to work alongside Mike Evans on Sunday against the Chiefs, but Friday's injury report may clear up the overall situation upon its release.

Jones (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Jones maintained his activity level from one day prior as he attempts to gain clearance for game action for the first time since Week 1, the result of a partially torn PCL in his knee. Friday's practice report may provide some clarity into Jones' potential to play Sunday versus the Chiefs, along with that of fellow wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring), Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring).

Godwin (hamstring) received a veteran rest day Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

One day removed from logging a limited practice for the first time since injuring his hamstring in the season opener, Godwin got the day off Thursday. His activity level at Friday's session may provide insight into his potential to return Sunday against the Chiefs, but at this point he seems destined to enter the weekend with a 'questionable' designation.

Hardman (heel) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

Hardman sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to practice Thursday bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Buccaneers. Friday's injury report will determine whether or not the wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 4 action.

Allen, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, left Thursday's practice with a trainer, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Allen, who has missed two straight games, logged a limited practice Wednesday, but his exit from Thursday's session is a situation to monitor ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. If Allen is unable to return to action this weekend, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would continue to see added WR opportunities for the Chargers in Week 4.

Njoku (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cabot previously suggested that Njoku's absence was rest-related, a notion that would be confirmed by his return to practice in any capacity Friday. The tight end is coming off a strong Week 3 effort in which caught nine of his 10 targets for 89 yards and a TD in the Browns' win over the Steelers last Thursday.

Griffin (Achilles) was a non-participant in practice Thursday.

Griffin was unable to suit up in Week 3, but he did log a limited practice Wednesday, suggesting he may be ready for a Week 4 return. However, Griffin's participation level went backwards to a DNP on Thursday, leaving the veteran tight end's status in greater doubt. If he is unable to play Sunday against the Giants, Trevon Wesco will likely see increased opportunity once again.

Moreau (knee) was unable to practice Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Moreau missed his second consecutive practice leaving his status for Sunday against the Broncos in question. The fourth-year tight end will likely need to participate in some fashion tomorrow, or he'll likely be trending much closer to doubtful for the contest. If he is unable to play, Jesper Horsted will slide up to the No. 2 tight end spot behind Darren Waller, while a practice squad elevation of Cole Fotheringham would be likely.

Hooper (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Hooper took a step forward in activity from Wednesday and will look to graduate to full participation Friday, which would likely allow him to enter this weekend's matchup with the Colts without an injury designation. Even if the neck issue results in no restrictions for Hooper, his fantasy ceiling will be suppressed while he continues to share snaps at tight end with Geoff Swaim. Hooper hasn't played more than 62 percent of snaps or drawn more than five targets in any of the Titans' first three games.

Schultz (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Schultz took a seat Monday at the Giants after spraining his PCL in Week 2. Through two sessions this week, he's been limited while donning a brace on his right knee, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, but executive vice president Stephen Jones relayed to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Thursday that the Cowboys believe the tight end should be available Sunday versus the Commanders. In the end, though, Friday's injury report will be telling for Schultz's odds to do so.

Hockenson (foot) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Hockenson sat out Wednesday's session due to the foot issue, but his ability to take some reps Thursday seemingly puts him in good position to suit up this weekend against the Seahawks. The availability of other key targets in Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), DJ Chark (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (shoulder/shoulder) is less certain, and Hockenson could be in store for more involvement in the passing game than usual if any of those three players aren't available Sunday. Through three games, Hockenson is averaging 27.3 receiving yards on six targets per contest.

Seibert (groin) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Seibert's right groin injury will keep him off the practice field for the second day in a row, but the Lions aren't yet closing the door on him being available to kick in Sunday's game against the Seahawks. In fact, special teams coordinator Dave Fipp told Kyle Meinke of MLive.com earlier Thursday that he "feels good about where [Seibert] is at" at this stage of the week, even after the kicker missed 48- and 56-yard field-goal attempts in last week's loss to the Vikings. Detroit has Dominik Eberle available on the practice squad as an option to kick Week 4 if Seibert doesn't progress from the injury as well as the Lions hope heading into Sunday.

Butker (ankle) won't practice Thursday, and special teams coordinator Dave Toub suggested the kicker's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers could "come down right to the end" of the week, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

After sitting out both of the Chiefs' past two games with a sprained left ankle, Butker practiced Wednesday in a limited fashion, but he was held out Thursday while still contending with some soreness. The Chiefs will see if Butker is able to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday before giving him a designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If Butker is forced to miss another game, Matthew Wright would likely be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for Kansas City in Week 4.

Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said Thursday that he "feels good" about Seibert's (groin) chances of being available for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Seibert missed two long field-goal tries during the Lions' Week 3 loss to the Vikings and didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, but the team seems to be optimistic about his chances of suiting up Week 4. The kicker has two more chances to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle.

Wright was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.

Wright was added by Kansas City, as starting kicker Harrison Butker, who returned to practice Wednesday, is still working his way back from an ankle injury suffered in Week 1. The practice-squad kicker went 34-of-39 on total kicking attempts over 14 games with Jacksonville last season, so he will provide a reliable backup option if Butker sits out once again this Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Seibert didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.

Seibert missed 48-yard and 56-yard field-goal attempts during the Lions' Week 3 loss to Minnesota, but it's unclear if he was dealing with his current groin injury during the contest. His absence Wednesday is certainly concerning, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice before the team has to make a decision on his status for Week 4.

Prater was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Prater made all four of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's win over the Rams, but he appears to have picked up a hip injury as well. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 4.

Alexander (groin) only stretched with the team Thursday and did not participate in practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Alexander's injury suffered in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers wasn't believed to be serious, but the Pro Bowl corner doesn't appear to be making progress on the practice report for Week 4. Although it makes sense to be cautious with your star corner, Alexander seems firmly questionable for Sunday against the Patriots.

Watt (calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Unlike Weeks 2 and 3, when Watt handled some practice reps before being available on both game days, he's yet to mix into drills this week. He has one more opportunity Friday to make an appearance, but even if he doesn't, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is hopeful the pass rusher will be able to play Sunday in Carolina, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.

Owusu-Koramoah (groin) logged a limited practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Owusu-Koramoah picked up the injury in last Thursday's win over the Steelers. He underwent an MRI on Friday, but nothing too significant must have been found. After sitting out practice Wednesday, the second-year pro returned to the field Thursday, sending him in a positive direction toward the weekend. However, he does still remain questionable for Sunday against the Falcons.

Ward (back) logged a limited practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

After being a DNP on Wednesday, Ward's return to the practice field is a step in the right direction. Even with the signs of improvement, it's worth nothing the fifth-year corner is still questionable for Sunday's contest against the Falcons. If he's unable to play, A.J. Green would likely draw the start at corner.

The Ravens placed Pierce (biceps) on injured reserve Thursday.

Pierce is scheduled for season-ending surgery Thursday on a torn bicep he suffered in Week 3 against the Patriots. As a result, the 345-pounder will now target a return during the 2023 campaign. Rookie third-round pick Travis Jones will likely start in Pierce's place Sunday against Buffalo.

Gilmore (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.

Gilmore was forced out early in Sunday's win over the Chiefs with the injury. However, after logging a limited practice Wednesday, the veteran corner was a full participant Thursday. He should be good to do go Sunday against the Titans.
