Burks did not participate in practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, but his inability to practice Thursday doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. Friday's injury report should provide a better idea on whether the 2022 first-round pick will play in Week 7. If Burks can't suit up, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would step up as the Titans' fourth wideout behind Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd.

Evans officially didn't practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury.

Evans was in and out of this past Sunday's 51-27 win at New Orleans, but no health concern was reported during or after the contest. Coach Todd Bowles told Greg Auman of Fox Sports earlier Thursday that Evans wasn't going to practice due to a lingering leg injury, which since has been clarified as a hamstring issue. Bowles also noted Evans is expected to practice Friday and/or Saturday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. How Evans fares in those sessions like will determine if the Buccaneers tag him with a designation ahead of Monday's game versus the Ravens.

Fehoko (shoulder) was estimated as a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

Fehoko played a season-high 37 snaps in Week 6 against the Broncos and finished the game with two catches (on four targets) for 44 yards. However, it appears the 2021 fifth-round pick may have picked up a shoulder injury during the contest, which limited him in practice Thursday. Fehoko will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.

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.
