Turner (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The Seahawks have yet to declare if Turner has completed his journey through the concussion protocol, but elevating from 'limited' activity Wednesday to uncapped one day later bodes well for the second-year wide receiver being cleared before Sunday's visit to Green Bay. Coach Pete Carroll is expected to speak to the media Friday, so Turner's fate could be revealed at that point.

The Jets signed Chesson to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

Chesson spent the entire 2019 regular season on Washington's practice squad. He'll now get a chance to impress in New York during the offseason.

Humphries (ankle) won't play in Saturday's playoff game against the Ravens, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

With Humphries, who hasn't played since Dec. 1, still dealing with his lingering ankle issue, Tajae Sharpe will continue to see an expanded role in the Titans' passing offense behind the team's top two wide receivers, A.J. Brown and Corey Davis.

Diggs (illness) is not listed on the Vikings' final injury report for Saturday's playoff game against the 49ers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Diggs missed back-to-back practices Tuesday and Wednesday but was cleared to play after returning to the field Thursday. While he'll be good to go, fellow starting wideout Adam Thielen is listed as questionable for the contest after suffering an ankle injury during Wednesday's practice. Either way, Diggs will look to be more involved in his team's passing attack Saturday after being limited to two catches (on three targets) for 19 yards in last weekend's wild-card win over the Saints.

Thielen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game against the 49ers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, fellow starting wideout Stefon Diggs (illness) is not listed on the Vikings' final injury report after returning to practice Thursday. Thielen -- whose ankle reportedly required stitches after being stepped on by a cleat during practice Wednesday -- should be considered a game-day call for Saturday's 4:35 p.m. ET kickoff, though we'll look for added clarity with regard to his status once national reporters like Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport tweet out their pre-game who's in/out estimations.

Thielen (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Thielen reportedly required stitches to address a bad cut on his ankle that he suffered during practice Wednesday. His absence from practice Thursday after being listed as limited Wednesday isn't optimal, but the wideout is hopeful he'll be able to suit up for Saturday's playoff game against the 49ers. "You know how it is," Thielen said with regard to his ankle issue. "Got a little tangled up in practice. But I'm going to do whatever it takes. It's (the) playoffs. So I'm going to do whatever it takes to be out there on Saturday with my teammates and try and help this team win." With that, there's a pretty solid chance Thielen will be listed as questionable for the contest. On the plus side for the Vikings, Stefon Diggs, who missed practice Tuesday and Wednesday with an illness, returned to the field Thursday.

Diggs (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Diggs had missed two days worth or practice due to an illness, but his return to the field Thursday puts him on track to suit up Saturday against the 49ers. The Vikings' final injury report of the week will reveal whether the wideout is listed as questionable for the contest, or minus an injury designation altogether.

Thielen required stitches for a bad cut on his ankle sustained during Wednesday's practice session, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Vikings remain optimistic about Thielen's status heading into Saturday's NFC divisional matchup against San Francisco, though his level of participation in Thursday's practice will be a key indicator of his chances of suiting up Saturday. Thielen had not been on the injury report to begin the week, and while the initial fear was that he suffered a setback, this was simply a case of the wideout taking a teammate's cleat to the ankle during practice, according to Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Humphrey concluded the regular season with no receptions on one target across five games.

After going undrafted out of Texas last spring, Humphrey signed with the Saints and took part in training camp and the preseason before getting waived prior to Week 1. The wideout stuck around with the organization as a member of the practice squad and earned a promotion to the 53-man roster Sept. 18, appearing in four of the team's five games before he was cut loose again in late October. After another stint on the practice squad, Humphrey was promoted again prior to Week 17 and logged 15 offensive snaps between the regular-season finale and the Saints' wild-card round loss to the Vikings. He'll remain with New Orleans through OTAs and will look to carve out a more meaningful role heading into his second NFL season in 2020.

Turner (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Coach Pete Carroll didn't provide much detail about Turner's progress, but the wideout is on the right track by getting on the field for the Seahawks' first official practice of the week. The 23-year-old still needs to elevate to full participation and get cleared by an independent neurologist before he can play in Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Packers.
