Thomas (hand) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Despite not being present at the part of Thursday's session open to the media, Thomas maintained his listing from Wednesday. The Saints haven't expressed any worry about his Week 17 availability as he tends to a hand injury, but there's a chance he's tabbed with a designation upon the release of Friday's practice report.

Hopkins (illness) logged a limited practice Thursday.

Hopkins was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his return to work Thursday suggests that he'll be available for Sunday's contest versus the Titans. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the Texans' top wideout approaches the weekend listed as questionable or free of a Week 17 injury designation.

Arcega-Whiteside (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Though Arcega-Whiteside has been listed as limited on both of the Eagles' Week 17 practice reports to date, coach Doug Pederson indicated earlier in the week that the rookie would be okay for Sunday's game against the Giants. With Pederson offering no indication that Arcega-Whiteside's condition has taken a turn for the worse, the main question is whether or not the wideout will carry an injury designation into the weekend. A final decision on Arcega-Whiteside's status will come shortly after Friday's practice.

McLaurin (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

Per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic, Washington hasn't ruled McLaurin out for their Week 17 matchup with the Cowboys, as the team is instead viewing the rookie as day-to-day while he remains in the concussion protocol. That being said, McLaurin would likely need to return to practice in at least a limited fashion Friday to have a realistic shot at suiting up Sunday. Washington would likely rely more heavily on Steven Sims, Kelvin Harmon and Cam Sims as the primary options in three-receiver sets if its top target is sidelined for the team's season finale.

Beckham (groin) was limited at practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

As was Jarvis Landry (hip), but come Friday look for the duo to practice again and approach Sunday's season finale against the Bengals without an injury designation.

Raymond (concussion) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Raymond has now missed back-to-back practices, and he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans. Dion Lewis will likely handle kick-return duties if Raymond is forced to miss any time.

Thomas (hand) wasn't seen during the part of Thursday's practice open to the media, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

Estimated as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through, Thomas' reps are being capped this week as he tends to a hand injury. So far, the Saints haven't indicated any worry about the wide receiver's availability for Sunday's game in Carolina. In any case, the narrative could change a bit if Thomas downgrades to a DNP on Thursday.

Humphries (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Humphries having yet to practice in any capacity since injuring his ankle in the Titans' Dec. 1 win over the Colts, he's looking unlikely to play in the regular-season finale Sunday against the Texans. Another absence from Humphries would free up work in three-receiver sets for Tajae Sharpe alongside regular starters A.J. Brown and Corey Davis (concussion).

Agholor (knee) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Agholor continues to rehab a knee injury, keeping him away from the practice field since his last appearance, Week 13. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, there's an expectation Agholor misses a fourth consecutive contest and fifth game in six Sunday against the Giants in New York. It remains to be seen whether or not the Eagles tab Agholor as questionable (as he has been during his absence) or actually rule him out ahead of the team's regular-season finale.

Slayton (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton missed some action this past Sunday at Washington, resulting in a season-low 29-percent share of the offensive snaps. Held without a catch on his two targets for the first time in his brief career, he's so far logged limited showings on both Week 17 practice reports due to a knee injury. Friday's report will give a sense of his availability for Sunday's season finale against the Eagles.
