Shaheed (knee) did not practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Shaheed was injured in last Sunday night's win over the Chiefs, but indications are he avoided a serious injury. If he's unable to play Monday night against the Bears, Tory Horton will slot into WR3 duties behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.

Harris (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

Harris suffered his hamstring injury in Week 5 against Denver and missed Week 6 ahead of last week's bye. With back-to-back limited practices to open Week 8 prep, Harris has a decent chance of suiting up Sunday against the Rams. In a broken Chargers offense, it's difficult to get excited about anyone on the team for fantasy.

Mims (ankle) practiced fully Thursday,Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Mims was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, but the wideout's full participation a day later sets the stage for him to be available Sunday against the Chiefs. The 2023 second-rounder has two catches in each of his last three games, with his Week 8 fantasy upside linked to the status of top WR Jaylen Waddle, who is managing a chest injury.

Golden (shoulder/foot) is listed as active Thursday against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Golden was contained to just one limited walkthrough (Wednesday) during Week 8 prep due to shoulder and foot injuries, but James Palmer of NFL on Prime Video reported earlier Thursday that the Packers were optimistic about the second-year wide receiver's availability. Indeed, Golden is suiting up, looking to build upon the 36-540-3 line on 69 targets that he's racked up through the first seven contests of the season.

Bech (forearm) practiced fully Thursday.

Since being designated for return from injured reserve Monday, Bech has logged consecutive full practices. Should the wideout maintain that level of activity Friday, he'll have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Jets. For that to happen, Bech will need to come of IR by Saturday. If that transpires, the 2025 second-rounder will have a chance to boost a Las Vegas WR corps that has yielded modest production thus far apart from Tre Tucker.

Zaccheaus (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Zaccheaus didn't play in the 29-20 win over San Francisco on Sunday. While his limited participation in the Falcons' previous two practices is a positive sign, he still may be heading for an injury designation for the Week 8 meeting with Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old hasn't been overly involved this season, catching four passes (11 targets) for 17 yards. However, Zaccheaus plays a role as a return man on special teams, so if he's not cleared to play Sunday, Jahan Dotson and Zachariah Branch may see more action in that area, even more so if Brian Robinson (hamstring) is also unavailable.

Burks (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

Burks was limited in Wednesday's practice, and it's unclear if his 'DNP' a day later was maintenance-related or the result of a setback. If Burks is available Sunday against the Eagles, he'll have an opportunity to make an impact in a Washington WR corps that has lost receiving yardage leader Terry McLaurin to a season-ending knee injury.

Ridley (hip) was limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The same applies applies to Wednesday's session, giving the wideout one more chance to up his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. So far this season, Ridley has recorded just five catches on 10 targets for 81 yards in six games, a pace that has kept him off the fantasy radar thus far.

McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

McConkey has back-to-back uncapped practices under his belt this week, but it remains unclear if he's gained clearance from the concussion protocol, which requires getting the all-clear from an independent neurologist. Friday's injury report will reveal if he still needs to pass such an exam ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams.

Smith (hamstring) missed Thursday's practice.

Smith so far has sat out Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice due to a lingering hamstring injury, giving him just one more opportunity to mix into drills this week. The Eagles may make a ruling on Smith's status for Sunday's game in Washington once they post their final Week 8 injury report Friday.
