Thomas (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Since suffering a chest contusion in the Jaguars' Week 8 loss to the Packers, Thomas has been listed as a limited participant in eight consecutive practices. He hasn't missed any game action because of the injury, playing 90 percent of snaps in a Week 9 loss to the Eagles and 86 percent of snaps in a Week 10 loss to the Vikings. However, Thomas has been limited to a 4-36-0 receiving line on seven targets between those contests, and assuming he's cleared to play again this Sunday against the Lions, he'll profile as a risky option in fantasy lineups. With Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) already ruled out for the Week 11 game, Mac Jones will make a second straight start at quarterback, coming off an ugly outing against the Vikings in which he threw for just 111 yards on 22 attempts while committing three turnovers.

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

Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) were both limited in practice for the second day in a row, but Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson hasn't suggested that the availability of either wideout for Sunday's game in Detroit is in peril. Assuming Davis is cleared to play Sunday, he'll be on the receiving end of throws from quarterback Mac Jones, who will be making a second straight start in place of the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

Jefferson (quadricep) was limited at practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Jefferson missed Wednesday's session, so his upgrade to limited participation a day later bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday against the Ravens. Through nine games this season, Jefferson has logged a 14-139-1 line on 23 targets, a pace that limits the wideout's fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Mooney was limited at Thursday's practice due to an Achilles injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Mooney has been a revelation behind Atlanta's No. 1 WR Drake London this season. While he's surpassed 100 receiving yards just one time in 10 outings, Mooney has accrued a 46-684-5 line on 77 targets. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday at Denver.

Pittman (back) practiced fully Thursday.

After missing his first game of the season this past Sunday against the Bills due to a back injury he's been managing as well as a finger issue, Pittman was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate. With Pittman able to maintain that level of participation in Thursday's session, he's poised to return to action this weekend against the Jets after having evidently benefited from being held out of Week 10 action. Barring any in-game setbacks, Pittman should step back into a key role in the Colts' wideout corps, but with Anthony Richardson back as the team's starting QB, it's possible that Indianapolis' offense may tilt toward the running game.

Cooper (wrist) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Cooper -- who has missed two straight games -- was also listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, so he'll probably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Chiefs without an injury designation. For his part, Cooper told Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com on Thursday that he feels like he's trending toward playing Sunday. If Cooper is indeed able to face Kansas City, his availability would provide a major boost to a Buffalo pass-catching corps that will be without wideout Keon Coleman (wrist), and possibly tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee).

Hill (wrist) was spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill was deemed a non-participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice, but his presence for Thursday's session suggests that the wideout's absence a day earlier might have been due to workload management as opposed to a setback with the wrist injury he's been playing through. The Dolphins' second Week 11 injury report will be released later Thursday and will clarify the extent of Hill's participation in practice.

Adams (illness/wrist) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Adams has now missed two straight practices with an illness and sore wrist, so what the wideout is able to do at Friday's session will likely be the determining factor in whether he carries a designation into Sunday's game against the Colts. Through his first four games with the Jets since being acquired by the Raiders, Adams is averaging five catches and 51.5 receiving yards per contest.

Conley (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Conley injured his hamstring in Week 8 against Dallas, and even with San Francisco on a bye for Week 9, the injury was severe enough for him to be sidelined this past Sunday against Tampa Bay. He was unable to practice all of last week, so his ability to participate in a limited capacity Wednesday indicates that he's trending in the right direction. Conley will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle.

Metcalf (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Head coach Mike Macdonald said earlier Wednesday that Metcalf would be limited in his return to practice, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. However, Metcalf practiced without a cap on his reps, clearly taking advantage of the Seahawks' Week 10 bye to get healthy. He'll thus be available this weekend against the 49ers for the first time since he sustained a sprained MCL back in Week 7.
