Nabers (knee) was listed as a limited participant at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nabers returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session, but he isn't completely out of the woods yet. An upgrade to full participation Friday could help Nabers avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

McLaurin (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday.

McLaurin thus has just one more opportunity to mix into drills this week before the Commanders potentially make a call on his status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. Both he and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) haven't practiced so far this week, meaning Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey are the current healthy wide receivers on Washington's active roster.

Diggs (hamstring) didn't take part in Thursday's practice.

The same can be said for fellow WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring), giving the pair just one more chance apiece to practice this week before the Commanders potentially make rulings on both players ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Currently, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey are the healthy options at the position on Washington's active roster.

Bateman (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

According to Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore, Bateman was donning a red no-contact jersey during the open portion of Thursday's practice, but he was evidently able to do enough on the field to upgrade to full activity after a limited listing Wednesday. Though Bateman looks like he'll be ready to go for Sunday's game in Atlanta, he could be at the receiving end of passes from Tyler Huntley, who directed the first-team offense for a second straight day Thursday while starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) remained sidelined for practice. The Ravens will likely decide on Jackson's status for Sunday following Friday's session.

Flowers (foot) was limited in practice Thursday.

It was the second straight limited practice for Flowers, who is now working through a foot injury in advance of Week 5. Flowers has been dynamic when on the field this year with 18 grabs for 352 yards and two touchdowns, but he's been limited to just 88 snaps across three games. Look for Flowers' status to gain more clarity Friday when the final injury report of the week is released.

Olave was present and involved throughout Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.

Olave rested Wednesday after catching eight of 12 targets for 116 yards in Monday's loss to the Falcons. The star wide receiver returned to practice Thursday, assuaging any lingering concerns about his health. Olave will look to add to his season totals of 35 catches for 491 yards and one touchdown Sunday against the Vikings.

Allen (groin) was limited in practice Thursday.

It was another limited session for Allen, who is working his way back from a groin injury that kept him out against the Commanders in Week 4. Allen is trending toward being ready to go against the Steelers on Sunday, which would give this receiving corps a much-needed boost.

Addison (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

After playing 75 of 78 offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Dolphins, Addison is dealing with hamstring soreness that sidelined him at Wednesday's session. With Justin Jefferson (ankle) resuming on-field work this week, the Vikings' top two wide receivers appear to be putting themselves on track to suit up Sunday at New Orleans. Thursday's injury report will reveal both players' activity levels.

Nailor (concussion) isn't practicing Thursday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

After sustaining a concussion in this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Nailor hasn't made enough progress through the five-step protocol to resume taking any on-field reps. He'll have one more chance this week to practice in some capacity, but at this stage, Nailor looks to be trending toward sitting out this Sunday against New England.

Hollins (calf) wasn't spotted during the portion of Thursday's practice available to media, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Hollins appears to be missing a second consecutive practice ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Raiders. If Hollins is unable to suit up Sunday, Efton Chism could work alongside Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas in three-receiver, while Hollins' strong blocking may be missed in the running game.
