Worthy (shoulder) practiced fully again Thursday.

Worthy -- who suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the Chiefs' season opener -- has missed two straight games, but back-to-back full practices point to a return to action Sunday against the Ravens. Assuming that's the case, the main issue pertaining to Worthy's Week 4 fantasy viability is the possibility that he could be eased back into the lineup versus Baltimore.

Gould did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness.

The illness is a new issue, as the 2024 fifth-rounder did not appear on Wednesday's injury report. It's unclear how severe Gould's illness is, but Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Rams on Sunday. Gould has primarily served on special teams and has returned six kickoffs for 181 yards and two punts for four yards through the first three games of the regular season.

Lamb (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lamb now has missed both practices this week due to the high left-ankle sprain that's expected to sideline him for 3-to-4 weeks. However, the Cowboys have yet to make a ruling on his status for a Week 4 matchup with the Packers, something that may be confirmed as soon as the team posts its final injury report of the week Friday, or as late as 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. No matter when it happens, the Dallas passing game likely will feature WR George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson for at least the next few games, with WRs Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin also poised for larger roles.

Tillman (hand/hip) remained limited at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With back-to-back limited sessions thus far this week, Tillman probably will need to practice fully in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions. With a 10-100-2 line on 18 targets through three games, Tillman is on the fantasy lineup radar Week 4 while working alongside fellow starting WR Jerry Jeudy.

Adams (hamstring) wasn't present for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Sean McVay told Barshop on Wednesday that Adams was tending to a sore hamstring and wouldn't practice, and his absence appears to have extended into Thursday. Still, McVay wasn't worried about the veteran wide receiver's availability for Sunday's contest against the Colts. Adams' activity level, or lack thereof, will become known once the Rams post their second Week 4 injury report.

Washington (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Washington emerged from the Falcons' season-opening loss to the Buccaneers with a concussion and missed the last two games as a result. He didn't practice during Week 2 prep and then was listed as limited on four consecutive injury reports before getting back to all activity Thursday. There's been no indication that Washington has gained clearance from the protocol for head injuries, but he has two more days to do so ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Collins (knee) practiced fully Thursday.

Collins was deemed limited at practice Wednesday, but the wideout's return to a full session a day later paves the way for him to be available Sunday against the Titans. Through three games, Collins has compiled a 14-181-2 line on 25 targets, a pace that keeps Houston's clear-cut top WR firmly on the fantasy radar on a weekly basis.

Jennings (ankle/shoulder) isn't practicing Thursday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Jennings hasn't been able to practice since coming out of a Week 2 win at New Orleans with an ankle injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan has referred to Jennings as day-to-day each of the last two weeks, but the wide receiver may not be a viable candidate for game action until he mixes into at least some drills. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Jennings has a chance to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

Pearsall (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Pearsall's return to the field Thursday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Through three games, Pearsall is third in the NFL in receiving yards with a 16-281-0 line on 24 targets.

Waddle (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

After logging limited practices last Tuesday and Wednesday, Waddle approached last Thursday's game against the Bills listed as questionable. The wideout was able to suit up for the contest and recorded an 87 percent snap share versus Buffalo while catching five of his six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. With no reported setbacks, there's a solid chance that Waddle's listed limitations this Thursday were maintenance-related ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets.
