Evans (hamstring) officially was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Per Greg Auman of Fox Sports, Evans didn't make an appearance in the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, but the veteran wide receiver evidently logged some on-field work at some point. Auman also noted that coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that the key day for Evans during Week 6 prep will be Friday with regard to the hamstring injury that has lingered since he got injured Week 4. Consequently, how Evans is listed on Friday's practice report will be key for his potential to play Sunday against the Lions.

Meyers (wrist) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Following Monday's 17-13 win over the Packers, Meyers was listed as a limited participant on the Raiders' first Week 6 practice report issued Wednesday, but his upgrade to full activity a day later clears up any concern about his availability. The status of Davante Adams (shoulder) is a little more muddled after he was listed as a limited participant Thursday, but the expectation at this stage is that both of the Raiders' top two wideouts will be ready to play Sunday against the Patriots. In the four games that both players have suited up this season, Adams and Meyers have dominated the passing-game looks. Adams has averaged 11.5 targets per game in those four contests, while Meyers has averaged nine targets.

Adams (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

The Raiders held a walkthough Thursday, but Adams' upgrade from non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate is nonetheless a positive sign regarding the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. That said, Adams presumably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend with an injury designation.

Addison (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

The rookie wideout had his practice reps capped for the second day in a row on account of an ankle issue, but if he's able to upgrade to full participation Friday, it would likely clear up any concern fantasy managers have about his availability for Sunday's game against the Bears. Assuming Addison is cleared to suit up this weekend, he could be in line for a pronounced role in the Minnesota passing attack along with tight end T.J. Hockenson and fellow wideouts K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell while the Vikings look to replace star receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and his 10.6 targets per game.

Jones (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

Jones also missed Wednesday's session, so he'll need to practice Friday in some capacity in order to have a decent shot to play Sunday against the Colts. If the wideout is unavailable this weekend, Jamal Agnew and Tim Jones would be in line for added snaps at receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

St. Brown (abdomen) practiced in full Thursday.

After giving St. Brown a week off, including the Lions' Week 5 win against the Panthers, to tend to an abdominal injury, St. Brown followed up Wednesday's capped session with all activity one day later. He even told Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com on Thursday, "I feel good. I feel ready, so we'll see," regarding his availability for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. The Lions still may list St. Brown with a designation for Week 6 action upon the release of Friday's practice report, but all signs seem to point toward the wide receiver returning to action this weekend.

Robinson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Robinson sat out Wednesday's session, but his absence for that practice and his limited activity Thursday may have been maintenance-related while the team continues to manage his workload after he tore the ACL in his right knee last November. Since being cleared to make his season debut Week 3, Robinson's surgically-repaired knee appears to have held up well. He's handled snap shares north of 60 percent in the Giants' past two games and has recorded exactly five receptions and one carry in both contests.

St. Brown (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.

Despite having added time to heal up from the hamstring injury after the Bears played the Commanders on Thursday night last week, St. Brown has failed to practice in both of Chicago's first two Week 6 sessions. If St. Brown is unable to practice Friday and is ultimately ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, rookie Tyler Scott would likely step in as the Bears' No. 3 receiver.

Beckham (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com relayed that Beckham notes that the ankle that the wide receiver injured Week 2 is feeling much better as Sunday's game against the Titans in London approaches. After having logged a full practice Thursday, Beckham -- who was limited Wednesday -- is slated to face Tennessee and will look to pick up the pace Week 6 after catching two of his four targets for 13 yards while playing 37 snaps in his return to action in last weekend's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.

Burks (knee) won't travel with the Titans for Sunday's game against the Ravens in London, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

With Burks slated to miss his third straight game, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips are in line for expanded roles at receiver this weekend behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Burks now will target a potential return to action following the Titans' Week 7 bye, when the team hosts the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 29.
