Pascal (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Pascal suffered the injury in the Cardinals' Week 10 win over the Falcons and was unable to return to the contest. The Old Dominion product now appears in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Texans, but he'll have another chance to get on the field and practice with the team Friday.

Brown (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brown -- who is coming off back-to-back productive outings -- also was absent from Wednesday's session, so what he's able to do Friday could be pivotal with regard to his chances of being available Sunday against the Cardinals. On the plus side for the Texans, Nico Collins (calf) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, while Robert Woods (foot) was back on the field Thursday, per Wilson.

Cracraft (shoulder) isn't listed on the Dolphins' Week 11 injury report.

Cracraft was returned to the 53-man roster Tuesday, as his 21-day window to practice with the team after being designated to return from injured reserve was nearing an end. While practicing within that 21-day window, the wideout never managed more than limited participation, but he's apparently returned to full activity coming out of the Dolphins' Week 10 bye. With Braxton Berrios (hamstring) and Chase Claypool (knee) both uncertain to play Sunday against the Raiders, Cracraft could immediately step in as Miami's No. 3 or 4 receiver. Cracraft was valued mostly for his skills as a blocker, but he also contributed a 6-87-1 receiving line on eight targets over his first three games before landing on IR.

Woods (foot) was spotted at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Woods didn't practice Wednesday, but his return a day later hints at his absence being maintenance related. Thursday's injury report will reveal the wideout's participation level in the team's second practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Claypool (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Claypool also didn't practice Wednesday, so the wideout likely will need to work in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Raiders. In three games with the Dolphins thus far, Claypool has just one catch for 15 yards, so until his role in the offense expands he'll be off the fantasy radar.

Berrios (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Berrios missed Wednesday's session, but his return to the field a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. The Dolphins' upcoming injury report will relay whether Berrios practiced fully or was limited Thursday.

Bourne (knee) underwent surgery to repair his right ACL on Wednesday and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in the coming offseason, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Bourne, who landed on injured reserve in late October, will miss the rest of the 2023 campaign but is already on the road to recovery. He tallied a 37-406-4 receiving line on 55 targets across the first eight games of the season, while operating as the Patriots' most productive wideout. The 28-year-old is on track to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, but New England could have incentive to re-sign him, assuming his recovery goes smoothly.

Young (abdomen) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The second-year wideout missed the first eight games of the season with a groin injury but made his 2023 debut last week against the Commanders, playing two offensive snaps and 17 on special teams.

Humphrey played 14 of Denver's 75 snaps on offense and reeled in his lone target for a 14-yard reception in Monday's 24-22 win over the Bills.

Humphrey ranked a distant fourth among Denver receivers in snaps, trailing Courtland Sutton (65), Marvin Mims (52) and Jerry Jeudy (49). With the rookie Mims beginning to carve out a larger role and with head coach Sean Payton continuing to show a proclivity for two-tight end sets, Humphrey doesn't look as though he'll be able to reclaim significant snaps anytime soon.

Lockett (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

For a fifth consecutive week, the Seahawks are placing some practice restrictions on Lockett due to a lingering hamstring issue. The injury hasn't stopped him from suiting up on game days, as he's put together a 23-243-2 receiving line on 32 targets over the last four contests. Lockett will have two more opportunities this week to get back to full activity before the team potentially gives him a designation for Sunday's road matchup with the Rams.
