New Orleans signed Jackson off the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Jackson rejoined the Saints on the practice squad Oct. 2 after being let go with an injury settlement during training camp. Jackson will likely serve as the Saints' top kickoff and punt returner Thursday against the Broncos due to Rashid Shaheed (knee) being placed on injured reserve.

Wilson was a limited practice participant Thursday due to an ankle injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

The Cardinals' receiving corps had one known health concern prior to the team posting its first Week 7 injury report. Rookie Marvin Harrison wore a non-contact jersey Thursday in the wake of suffering a concussion this past Sunday at Green Bay and eventually went down as limited. Wilson joined Harrison with a cap on his practice reps, leaving both players question marks as Arizona prepares to face the Chargers on Monday Night Football.

Harrison (concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

It's a sign of progress through concussion protocol, although he was wearing a non-contact jersey and still has a few steps to go before he can play against the Chargers on Monday. Harrison was concussed during the first half of a 34-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday, leaving WR Xavier Weaver as a regular in three-wide formations alongside Michael Wilson (ankle) and Greg Dortch.

Nabers (head, groin) cleared concussion protocol Thursday and is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Nabers missed the past two games due to concussion symptoms and then had a groin injury added to Thursday's practice report. The latter apparently isn't much of a concern, as Thursday also marked his first full practice participation since entering concussion protocol in the closing minutes of a Week 4 loss to Dallas (Sept. 26). Nabers will be back in action this Sunday as a target-hogging No. 1 receiver for the surprisingly competent Giants offense.

Nabers is listed with a groin injury and concussion on Thursday's injury report, although he was a full practice participant, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

In other words, the groin injury isn't considered serious. The big question is still whether Nabers will clear concussion protocol before Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, after missing the past two games. Thursday marked his first full practice getting injured in the closing minutes of a loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 26.

Harty (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Harty missed Week 5 against the Bengals due to a knee injury, but he was able to return for Week 6 against the Commanders during which he logged 47 kick-return yards and four punt-return yards while playing eight snaps on special teams. Harty will have two more chances to return to the practice field ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers.

McConkey (hip) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.

McConkey, who caught four of his eight targets for 43 yards in this past Sunday's 23-16 win over the Broncos, is one of three Chargers' WRs on the team's Week 7 injury report. In addition to McConkey, Quentin Johnston (ankle) was deemed a 'DNP' in Thursday's practice, while Simi Fehoko (shoulder/groin) was listed as limited. The trio's status thus is worth tracking as Monday night's game against the Cardinals approaches.

Jennings (hip) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.

Meanwhile, fellow WR Deebo Samuel (wrist) was on the field Thursday but donning a blue non-contact jersey, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, indicating he'll go down as a limited participant for a second straight session. Jennings may be in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Chiefs, with Friday's injury report potentially providing some clarity on the situation ahead of the weekend.

Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday.

Smith-Schuster practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the injury report a day later makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers. The veteran wideout is coming off a Week 5 effort in which caught seven of his eight targets for 130 yards in the Chiefs' 26-13 win over the Saints.

Williams (personal) is back with the Jets but was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Williams reportedly did some work on the side but didn't actually practice with teammates. He's clearly the odd man out after the Davante Adams trade, and it may be that the focus right now is on staying healthy while the Jets try to work out a trade. Whatever the case, Williams isn't a recommended fantasy play Week 7 against the Steelers.
