Olave (back) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Olave sat out Wednesday's session after his back injury from last week flared up after Sunday's defeat at Miami, as coach Kellen Moore told Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. One day later, Olave's ability to handle at least individual drills indicates that he's trending positively ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, and Friday's injury report will reveal if he carries a designation into the weekend.

Washington (hip) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

Washington didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to work a day later bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday against the Colts. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared to face Indianapolis.

Olave (back) returned to practice Thursday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that the back injury Olave dealt with last week flared up after Sunday's loss at Miami, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, resulting in an absence to begin Week 14 prep. Olave's activity level one day later will be revealed once the Saints post Thursday's practice report.

Downs (hip/knee) practiced fully Thursday.

Downs was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his return to a full session a day later paves the way for the wideout to be available Sunday against the Jaguars. He's caught two of his six targets (for a combined total of 54 yards) in each of his last two games and overall has recorded a 40-370-3 line on 60 targets in 11 games to date, a rate of production that gives him a degree of fantasy utility in an Indy passing offense that also features fellow WRs Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman and TE Tyler Warren.

Odunze (foot) didn't take part in Thursday's practice.

Odunze now hasn't managed any on-field work at the midpoint of Week 14 prep, allowing him only one more opportunity to mix into drills before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Green Bay. If Odunze is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus would be the main options to see work in three-wide formations.

Harrison (heel) isn't taking part in practice Thursday, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Since suffering a heel injury in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, Harrison has missed back-to-back sessions, giving him just one more opportunity to prove his health before Arizona potentially makes a ruling on his status for Week 14 action. Friday's practice report will reveal if he has a chance to play Sunday against the Rams, and with fellow WR Greg Dortch (chest) also not practicing so far this week, the Cardinals currently have only Michael Wilson, Xavier Weaver and Andre Baccellia as healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Palmer (knee/ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Palmer also logged a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walkthrough, which gives him one more chance to practice before the Bills assign game statuses for Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Palmer remains sidelined this weekend, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Keon Coleman,Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks would continue to handle Buffalo's WR duties versus Cincinnati.

Washington (hip) was spotted at practice Thursday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, the wideout's presence a day later offers hope that he could be available Sunday against the Colts. The Jaguars' next injury report will clarify Washington's official participation level in Thursday's session.

Jeudy said Wednesday that he and quarterback Shedeur Sanders have moved on from a heated conversation in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Cameras caught the two players before they were separated by teammate Ethan Pocic. "We spoke about it," Jeudy said. "We're good. It's an emotional sport. Things happen in football." The receiver, who had a career-high 90 catches and earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2024, is having a frustrating season and is working with his third quarterback (and second rookie). Since Sanders took over as the starting QB, Jeudy has four catches on seven targets for 65 yards over the last two games.

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

Young returned to practice for the first time since landing on injured reserve early last month. The team designated the 26-year-old to return earlier in the day but will still need to officially activate him before he can play again. Once healthy, Young should resume his role as a depth receiver and kick returner.
