Metcalf (hand) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf missed one session during Week 3 prep due to a hand issue, but he otherwise hasn't been hindered in practice until Thursday's capped showing. He currently has a streak of three consecutive 100-yard performances, so how he's listed on Friday's injury report will be of extra interest as the Seahawks continue to gear up for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Osborn (shoulder) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Osborn also missed Wednesday's session, so he likely will need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Dolphins. Either way, with five catches for 31 yards on 13 targets through in four games to date, Osborn carries modest fantasy value.

Davis (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Davis also was limited Wednesday, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that his status for Sunday's game against the Colts is in danger. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation.

Dell (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Dell sat out the Texans' Week 4 win over the Jaguars with a bruised chest, but he looks to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Bills after turning in limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. The Texans will decide whether Dell carries an injury designation into the weekend following Friday's practice.

Thompson was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Thompson will get a chance to see his first action of the 2024 campaign, with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) ruled out for TNF. The Toledo product appeared in seven regular-season games for the Seahawks last season but saw just one target, which he hauled in for a 10-yard gain.

Brown (groin) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

After opening Week 5 prep Wednesday as a limited participant, Brown's downgrade to no activity a day later creates more uncertainty about his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. The Commanders will wait and see what, if anything, Brown can do at Friday's practice before potentially handing him a designation heading into the weekend.

Woods (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

Woods practiced fully Wednesday, so his DNP a day later is notable. On the plus side for the Texans, Tank Dell (chest) has logged back-to-back limited sessions. If he's able to play Sunday against the Bills, Woods, if available, presumably would move back to a reserve role behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Dell.

Hardman (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Hardman will open the week on the team's injury report, but with the Chiefs not playing until Monday night against the Saints, he still has a few days to recuperate. If he's ultimately unable to play Skyy Moore and Xavier Worthy would be candidates to fill in as Kansas City's return men.

Robinson (heel) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Robinson now has opened Week 5 prep with back-to-back capped sessions, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to full participation before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Seattle. Meanwhile, fellow WR Malik Nabers (concussion) seems to be trending in the wrong direction with no practice reps to speak of so far this week, so if Robinson is available Sunday, he likely would serve as the top pass catcher available to QB Daniel Jones. Through four contests on the campaign, Robinson has hauled in 26 of 38 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown.

Carter (ribs) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Carter logged a DNP on Wednesday, so this is a step in the right direction for the veteran wideout and return man. However, his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers remains in question. If he's unable to play, the team may make Velus Jones active for the first time since Week 1 to handle return duties in the kicking game.
