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.

Burks (knee) remained a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks' left knee injury has already kept him out of the Titans' last two games, and with the second-year receiver sitting out the first two sessions of Week 6 prep, he appears to be trending toward another absence Sunday against the Ravens in London. Before deciding on his status heading into the weekend, the Titans will see what, if anything, Burks can do during Friday's practice. In Burks' most recent absence in the Titans' Week 5 loss to the Colts, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (40 snaps), saw the second-most playing time among Tennessee receivers after DeAndre Hopkins, but Westbrook-Ikhine finished with just one catch for nine yards on three targets.

Brown (illness) participated in Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

An illness kept Brown off the practice field Wednesday, but he's back in at least a limited capacity one day later. In the end, his activity level will become known once the Cardinals post their second Week 6 injury report later Thursday. Even with quarterback Joshua Dobbs helming the offense this season, Brown has put together a respectable 25-300-3 line on 42 targets across five contests.

Robinson (knee) is in line to return to practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Robinson was a non-participant at Wednesday's session, which likely was precautionary due to the torn ACL in his right knee that he sustained Week 11 of last season. In any case, Thursday's injury report will reveal how much work the second-year pro was able to handle.

Douglas (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

The same goes for JuJu Smith-Schuster, with both WRs in the NFL's concussion protocol after having also missed Wednesday's session. The duo's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders thus is cloudy, and if neither gains clearance ahead of Week 6 action, the Patriots' WR corps would feature DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte and the versatile Ty Montgomery, with Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) a candidate to be activated from injured reserve.

Smith-Schuster (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Nor was Demario Douglas, with Zack Cox of NESN.com relaying that both WRs are still in the NFL's concussion protocol. Smith-Schuster now has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, but he'll need to practice fully Friday (and gain full medical clearance) in order to head into the weekend minus a Week 6 injury designation.
