Nacua (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Nacua emerged from the Rams' Week 8 loss in Dallas with some swelling in his knee, but he was able to suit up in the team's last game Week 9 at Green Bay, where he hauled in three of seven targets for 32 yards. He'll be welcoming back quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) for the first time since Week 8, so Nacua may be poised for a rebound Sunday against a Seahawks defense that has surrendered the 11th-most catches (127) and 12th-most touchdowns (nine) to opposing wide receivers in nine games this season.

Young (abdomen) did not practice Thursday after being a full participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The wide receiver came down with the abdominal issue after last Sunday's win over the Commanders. Young spent the first eight games of the season on injured reserve with a groin injury. The second-year pro played two offensive snaps last week and was not targeted.

Lockett (hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

During his five-week stretch dealing with a hamstring issue, Lockett previously sat out the first two sessions of Week 8 prep before capping it with a full practice and a questionable designation ahead of game day. This week, he also has yet to practice, so he may be destined for a similar fate. Friday's injury report will unveil his potential to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Rams.

Allen said Thursday that he's tending to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder but intends to play Sunday at Green Bay, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Allen missed some time in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Lions due to a shoulder injury, but the only intel noted in its wake was a quote from coach Brandon Staley on Monday that the wide receiver was "day-to-day," per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. With the diagnosis seemingly clarified, Allen noted Thursday, "I'll be out there again," regarding his availability for Week 11. He also was seen adjusting medical tape and pressure plate on his left shoulder at the same time, which so far has contained him to one limited session (Thursday) this week. As a result, Allen seems like a decent bet to enter the weekend with a designation, which will be confirmed, one way or another, when the Chargers post their final injury report Friday.

Jones (thumb) is active for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

Jones, who last saw game action in Week 3, came off IR ahead of Thursday's contest and will provide the Bengals with WR depth behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin, with both Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Andrei Iosivas (knee) unavailable. Additionally, the 2023 fourth-rounder will have a chance to resume his punt return role with the team in Week 11.

Duvernay (hamstring) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bengals.

Duvernay approached the contest listed as questionable, but he'll be available to provide the Ravens with wideout depth as well as maintain his role as a returner. In 10 games to date, Duvernay has caught four of his nine targets for 18 yards and rushed three times for 15 yards.

Mims (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Coming out of Denver's Week 9 bye, Mims played a season-high 69 percent of the offensive snaps and ran 28 routes against the Bills on Monday but was targeted just once. The Broncos are a run-oriented offense, and Mims is behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy (hip/limited Thursday) in the target pecking order.

Jeudy was a limited practice participant Thursday due to a hip injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Jeudy practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the Broncos' injury report a day later is noteworthy. What the wideout is able to due Friday will thus be telling with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. If the injury affects Jeudy's availability for the Week 11 contest, rookie second-round pick Marvin Mims could see added opportunities alongside starting wideout Courtland Sutton.

Watson (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Watson maintained that activity level in an actual practice. He'll thus have only one more opportunity this week to prove the health of his shoulder before the Packers potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Watson is able to suit up, he'll have a chance to redeem himself for a dismal season to date versus a defense that has given up the second-most yards per target (9.5) to opposing wide receivers on the campaign.

Collins (calf) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Collins didn't practice at all last week, but with two straight limited sessions in the book thus far in Week 11, he could be on track for a return to action Sunday against the Cardinals. For his part, Collins said Wednesday that he's feeling great and believes that he'll be ready to play versus Arizona, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
