Watson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Watson was joined by fellow WRs Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) as limited, while Savion Williams wasn't able to practice at all to begin Week 10 prep due to a foot injury. Watson's restrictions Thursday likely are related to maintenance of the right knee that suffered a torn ACL in Week 18 of last season, but in his two appearances during the 2025 campaign since being cleared to play, he's struck for six catches (on eight targets) for 143 yards and no touchdowns. Watson will have two more chances to practice fully this week before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Eagles.

Brown (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.

Brown sat out the Eagles' last game Week 8 versus the Giants due to a hamstring injury, but after the team's Week 9 bye, he was back on the practice field without limitations and thus will be available for Monday's visit to Green Bay. In the two games prior to the aforementioned DNP, Brown totaled 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 201 yards and two touchdowns.

Lions offensive coordinator John Morton said Thursday that he's hopeful to find ways to get TeSlaa the football more frequently in future games, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

Morton's comments came after the rookie third-round pick matched a season low by playing just three snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings. The 6-foot-4, 214-pound TeSlaa has put his immense athleticism on display with touchdown receptions in Weeks 1 and 2, but he has just three total catches on the season and will need to see his snap counts pick up in order for the Lions to take full advantage of his physical gifts.

Tremayne (hip) did not practice Thursday.

Tremayne wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it's possible he's dealing with a hip injury sustained during practice. If the second-year pro isn't able to return to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity, all signs will point to him missing Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

The Broncos signed Bandy to the active roster from the practice squad Thursday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Bandy was elevated for his 2025 debut during the Broncos' win over Houston in Week 9, a contest in which he secured his only target for 16 yards while also playing a minor role on special teams. Now that he's been signed to the 53-man roster, Bandy will be eligible to suit up for the remainder of Denver's contests this season, beginning Thursday night versus the Raiders.

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

Thursday's full participation comes on the heels of Brown's limited session Wednesday. His progress is encouraging, but Brown still has to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, which includes an evaluation by an independent neurologist, in order to suit up Sunday against the Texans. Wide receiver Brian Thomas (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, so there could be more opportunities available for Brown on Sunday if Brown plays and Thomas doesn't.

Collins (neck) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Collins has now missed back-to-back practices due to a neck injury sustained during New York's loss to the 49ers in Week 9. He looks to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Bears, upping the chances Gunner Olszewski and Jalin Hyatt handle expanded roles at wide receiver behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton.

Moore (hip/groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

As was the case in each of the previous three weeks, Moore has began Week 10 prep as a non-participant before upgrading to a limited practice a day later. Assuming the pattern from previous weeks continues to hold, Moore will practice fully Friday and avoid an injury designation for this Sunday's game against the Giants. In the four games since the Bears' Week 5 bye, Moore is averaging 67.3 yards from scrimmage and has scored one touchdown.

Odunze (ankle/heel) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

One of three Bears receivers on the Week 10 injury report, Odunze joined DJ Moore (hip/groin) in advancing from no activity Wednesday to limited participation Thursday, while Luther Burden (concussion) was a full participant on both days. Assuming Odunze is able to log another limited practice Friday or advance to full activity, he should be in good shape to play this Sunday against the Giants.

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

Though Bears head coach Ben Johnson hasn't yet confirmed that Burden has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, all signs point to the rookie wideout being able to play this Sunday against the Giants. After sitting out the Bears' Week 9 win over the Bengals while recovering from the head injury, Burden has turned in two full practices to kick off Week 10 prep. Meanwhile, fellow wideouts DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) were limited Thursday, so Burden could have a clear path to a top-three role if either or both of Moore and Odunze aren't available Sunday.
