Pittman (glute) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Pittman's return to full participation Thursday suggests his absence from Wednesday's practice was precautionary. The Colts' No. 1 wide receiver is on track to suit up Sunday against the stingy Falcons secondary. He figures to maintain a significant role after racking up 17 catches for 210 yards and a touchdown on 21 targets over his team's previous two games.

Palmer (knee/ankle) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Palmer has put together consecutive limited practices as he looks to take the field for the first since Week 6 in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He has 14 catches for 234 yards in six appearances this season and is still searching for his first touchdown as a member of the Bills.

Brown (hamstring) is taking part in Thursday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The extent of Brown's practice participation won't be known until the Eagles release their first Week 10 injury report later Thursday, but Brown's ability to take the field in any capacity bodes well for his chances of playing Monday against the Packers. Brown ended up sitting out the Eagles' Week 8 win over the Giants due to his hamstring injury, but a well-timed Week 9 bye has afforded him some additional time to rest up and recover.

Boutte (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

With Boutte going down as a non-participant for the second straight day, his availability for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay would appear to be in peril. Before deciding whether Boutte enters the weekend with a designation or is ruled out in advance of Sunday's contest, the Patriots will wait and see if he's able to make enough progress with his hamstring injury to practice Friday in some fashion.

Eskridge (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Eskridge suited up for Miami's Week 9 matchup against the Ravens despite suffering a shoulder injury the Sunday prior. However, the 28-year-old has yet to practice ahead of the team's Week 10 contest versus the Bills. If the fifth-year pro is unable to play this upcoming Sunday, Malik Washington will likely handle kickoff-return duties with Cedrick Wilson and Tahj Washington taking more rotational snaps and wide receiver.

Bond (foot) isn't practicing Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Bond has missed both of Cleveland's first two practices this week, suggesting a Week 9 bye hasn't provided him enough time to recover from the foot injury he sustained in a Week 8 loss to the Patriots. The rookie wide receiver seems to be trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Jets, though a return to practice Friday would change that narrative.

Pittman (glute) practiced Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

After missing Wednesday's session, Pittman's return to practice a day later bodes well for his Week 10 status. The Colts' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's official participation level.

Gould (knee) is not practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Gould has yet to practice in any capacity since having suffered a knee injury Week 8 versus the Titans. With Adonai Mitchell having been traded to the Jets, Ashton Dulin will have no competition for the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs if Gould is unable to play Sunday in Berlin versus the Falcons.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Golden (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Golden was forced out of his past Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers due to a shoulder injury, but his ability to practice in some capacity to begin Week 10 prep suggests his health concern isn't a major one. Along with Golden, Dontayvion Wicks (calf) -- who missed the Packers' last two games -- will be limited Thursday, but if both are able to advance to full participation by the end of the week, Green Bay could have all of its key wide receivers available for the first time this season in Monday's game against the Eagles. Christian Watson had previously sat out Green Bay's first six games while completing his recovery from an ACL tear, but he returned to action Week 8.

Thomas (ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Thomas also logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, with the wideout's ankle issue now his only listed injury ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Adam Schefter of ESPN previously noted that Thomas -- who is reportedly dealing with a low-grade high ankle sprain -- has a chance to play this weekend, but for that to be possible, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday.
