Cooks (wrist) was present for practice Thursday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Texans' upcoming injury report will reveal Cooks' official participation level after the wideout was listed as a non-participant Wednesday. Per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, coach Lovie Smith indicated Wednesday that he expects Cooks to fully participate in practice Thursday and Friday. If that's the case, the wideout -- who was inactive Week 9 -- could approach Sunday's game against the Giants minus an injury designation.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that he plans to utilize Moore out of the slot more frequently following the team's Week 10 bye, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

After a strong rookie season during which he saw time both outside and in the slot, Moore has struggled as a sophomore. New York has used him predominantly as a decoy on the outside while featuring other options in the passing game, but more snaps in the slot could lead to more targets for the 5-foot-10 receiver. With the Jets on bye Week 10, Moore will have ample time to adjust to his new slot-heavy role before the team returns to action against the Patriots in Week 11.

Cole is suffering from a knee injury and was limited at practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Cole presumably suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, when he logged nine offensive snaps but didn't see any targets or touches. The veteran wideout has played in five games this season but has tallied only three catches for 42 yards. The limited practice session Wednesday gives Cole a fair chance of playing this Sunday versus Indianapolis, but he's not expected to be a significant factor if he does take the field.

Nailor (illness) is not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.

Nailor did not practice at all last week due to an illness, forcing him to sit out Sunday's win over Washington. He appears to be feeling better, giving him a good chance of returning to action in Week 10 versus Buffalo. However, that isn't newsworthy for fantasy managers, as Nailor has taken only one snap on offense so far this season.

Jennings (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Jennings was absent Week 8 due to a hamstring issue, then rested up during the 49ers' Week 9 bye before returning to full on-field work to kick off Week 10 prep. The same can be said for the team's No. 1 wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring), so the position group is back to full strength ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. In seven appearances this season, Jennings has put together a 14-180-0 receiving line on 24 targets while working behind Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

Samuel (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Just as head coach Kyle Shanahan forecasted earlier Wednesday when talking to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News and the rest of the 49ers' beat reporters, Samuel returned to full activity in the first session of Week 10 prep. Samuel was able to take every rep at practice after he sat out the team's last game Week 8 at the Rams before using a Week 9 bye to get back to 100 percent. With Christian McCaffrey pacing San Francisco's backfield and Elijah Mitchell (knee) potentially getting activated from injured reserve this week, Samuel may not be afforded his usual allotment of carries moving forward. Still, Samuel is quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's top option in the passing game, so the wide receiver will look to continue building upon the 56 touches for 515 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns that he's accumulated in seven appearances this season during the second half of the campaign.

Allen (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Allen, who last suited up Week 7, is considered day-to-day, but the wideout's continued absence from practice clouds his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If he's unable to return to action this weekend, Joshua Palmer, DeAndre Carter and Michael Bandy would headline the Chargers' Week 10 wideout corps, given that Mike Williams remains sidelined by an ankle injury.

Goodwin (groin) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

After sitting out the Seahawks' Week 9 win at Arizona, Goodwin may be putting himself in a position to return Sunday against the Buccaneers in Munich following Wednesday's capped session. The next two days of prep likely will have a bearing on whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for that contest.

The Lions re-signed Berryhill to their practice squad Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

Berryhill was signed to the active roster ahead of a Week 9 win over the Packers, and he logged one offensive snap and seven special-teams snaps in the contest. He was subsequently waived Monday but has now returned to Detroit's practice squad. Even if he makes it back up to the active roster, Berryhill isn't likely to see much work on offense.

Renfrow was a limited participant at practice Wednesday with hamstring and ribs injuries, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Renfrow wasn't included on the Raiders' Week 9 injury report, but the slot man -- who was on the field for 44 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars -- is now nursing a pair of injury issues ahead of this weekend's game against the Colts. He now has two more chances to practice fully before the Raiders' final Week 10 injury report is posted Friday.
