Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Doesn't practice Thursday
Tillman (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The rookie was added to the injury report Thursday. Tillman caught his first NFL pass in the Browns' Week 4 loss to the Ravens, gaining five yards. He's buried on the Browns' wideout depth chart and has minimal fantasy value outside of dynasty formats.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Misses practice Thursday
Turpin (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Turpin injured his ankle on a punt return in Week 5. On the season, Turpin has played just 52 offensive snaps and has recorded five catches for 51 yards and one touchdown on six targets. He's also rushed six times for 66 yards and one score. Turpin is a gadget player on offense in addition to his returner duties.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Logs limited practice Thursday
Brown (illness) was limited in practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
In his return from Wednesday's absence due to an illness, Brown was spotted running routes and catching passes during individual drills one day later, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com. In the end, though, Brown must not have gotten in much more work, leaving him just one more opportunity to get back to full this week. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown has a designation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Rams.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Another DNP on Thursday
Metcalf (ribs) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
On the heels of the Seahawks' Week 5 bye, Metcalf now hasn't logged any on-field work due to the rib injury that he sustained Week 2. He's been able to play through the pain in the interim and even told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Wednesday that "it hasn't been" tough to do so, as evidenced by his 18-268-2 line on 23 targets through four games. Still, Metcalf has just one more chance to mix into drills before the team potentially hands him a designation for Sunday's contest in Cincinnati.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Up from practice squad
Humphrey was elevated to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
The wide receiver was released from the active roster Wednesday before being re-signed to the practice squad. Humphrey has four catches for 26 yards and a touchdown in five games this season. At the same time, the fifth-year pro's playing time has gone down after he played 71 percent of the snaps in Week 1.

Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Logs full practice Thursday
Berrios (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Berrios was limited Wednesday, but his full participation a day later has him on pace to play against the Panthers on Sunday. Through his first five games this season, Berrios has caught 15 of his 18 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown, numbers that give him modest PPR utility while working behind Miami's top wideout duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Tee Higgins WR | CIN
Bengals' Tee Higgins: Still limited at practice
Higgins (ribs) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Higgins, who was forced out of the Bengals' Week 4 loss to the Titans with a rib fracture and was then inactive for the team's Week 5 win over Arizona, has now logged consecutive practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Higgins said Thursday that it's looking "promising" for him to play against Seattle, but unless the wideout practices fully Friday, he'll likely draw an injury designation.
-
Tank Dell WR | HOU
Texans' Tank Dell: Remains sidelined Thursday
Dell (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.
Dell has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, but back-to-back absences from practice cloud his Week 6 status. If Dell is unavailable versus New Orleans, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson would figure to see added WR snaps for the Texans this weekend. Adding to uncertainty at wideout is the status of Robert Woods (ribs), who missed Wednesday's practice and was a limited participant Thursday.
-
Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Gets back to full participation
Olave (toe) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Olave opened Week 6 prep with a limited session due to a toe injury, but his ability to get back to all activity one day later indicates the issue is a minor one. The second-year pro thus will set his sights on Sunday's matchup with a Texans defense that has allowed the sixth-highest catch rate (70.5 percent) but just one touchdown in five games to opposing wide receivers this season.
-
Robert Woods WR | PIT
Texans' Robert Woods: Back at practice
Woods (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Woods didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a limited session a day later has the wideout trending in the right direction in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints. However, Woods may need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to head into the weekend minus an injury designation.
