Thompson (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday.

Thompson has missed each of the first two practices of Week 3 prep while tending to a quadriceps injury, and he'll have one more opportunity to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Bills. The rookie fourth-rounder has operated in a depth role through the first two games of the regular season, logging one catch (on three targets) for 13 yards in that span. Derius Davis and recent free agent signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling would see more involvement in the offense if Thompson is unable to play in Buffalo.

Miller (hip) did not practice Thursday.

Miller opened the week by practicing in a limited capacity, but he wasn't out there Thursday, which isn't an encouraging sign regarding his availability for the Week 3 meeting with the Chiefs. Miller logged only seven offensive snaps in the 35-13 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. However, with Chris Bell (knee) and Caleb Douglas (ankle) also battling injuries, there's a path for more playing time for Miller on Sunday, depending on who is available.

Kupp (back) was a full participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Kupp opened the week with a limited practice due to a back injury, but he now appears to be back to full health. It is the second straight week that the wide receiver has been limited Wednesday before logging a full session Thursday. He'll look to take advantage of the return of quarterback Sam Darnold on Sunday against the Commanders.

Mims (foot) logged another limited practice Thursday.

Mims has opened the week with back-to-back limited sessions as he continues to nurse a foot injury that he suffered in Week 1. The wide receiver will have one more chance to log a full practice Friday to erase any doubt about his chances to play Sunday against the Rams.

Moore (ankle) was limited during Thursday's practice.

Moore was limited for a second consecutive day, so he may be heading toward an injury designation for Sunday's meeting with Dallas. The wideout logged 32 snaps in the 24-17 loss to New Orleans in Week 2, second behind Rashod Bateman (54), though he ended the day with just one catch (three targets) for six yards. Zay Flowers (ankle) could be in line for another absence in Week 3, and if Moore joins him on the shelf against Dallas, LaJohntay Wester and Devontez Walker may need to be more involved alongside Bateman.

Evans (hip) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

While Evans hasn't mixed into drills so far during Week 3 prep due to a hip issue, he was spotted running on a side field Thursday, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Evans is a rare player who doesn't need practice reps in order to be his normal self, or something close to it, on game days, but his status for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals could gain some clarity upon the 49ers posting its final injury report of the week Friday.

Nacua (hip) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Nacua now hasn't practiced for the past week due to a hip injury, though head coach Sean McVay has alternatively called the issue "soreness in his groin." Ian Rapoport of NFL Network even reported Thursday morning that Nacua didn't seem to be making much progress in his recovery from the concern, leaving his status up in the air for Sunday's game at Denver. Nacua will have one more chance to mix into drills Friday, after which the Rams could make a ruling on his availability for Week 3. If Nacua isn't able to suit up this weekend, Davante Adams again will be the unquestioned top pass catcher for QB Matthew Stafford.

Smith didn't practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury.

Smith was spotted in sweats and not pads like most of his teammates during the media-access portion of Thursday's session, and now the reason for his lack of activity has become known. His status will be watched closely Friday and Saturday to get a sense of his odds to play Monday at Chicago.

Meyers (thumb) was a limited participant Thursday.

The Jaguars put a cap on Meyers' reps for the second day in a row, but head coach Liam Coen hasn't provided any indication that the wideout is at any real risk of sitting out Sunday's game against the Patriots while he continues to manage a right thumb injury that dates back to training camp. Meyers played through the thumb issue in the first two contests of the season, recording three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets.

The Chargers signed Jennings to the practice squad Thursday.

Jennings was recently cut by the Chargers but will now find his way back, albeit as a member of the practice squad. It's unknown if the 29-year-old will see some regular-season snaps for Los Angeles moving forward, though it may take an injury or two for that to happen. Even then, Jennings isn't expected to have much of a role on offense. In a corresponding move, the Bolts released long snapper Spencer Triplett from the practice squad.
