Isaiah Bond WR | CLE
Browns' Isaiah Bond: Sits out another practice Thursday
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.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Non-participant in practice
Fairbairn (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
Fairbairn suffered a quadriceps injury in the Texans' 18-15 Week 9 loss to the Broncos and has not practiced since. Head Coach DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday he "does not" expect the 31-year-old to be ready for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Should the nine-year pro be sidelined for Week 10, Matthew Wright is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Non-participant again
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.

James Cook RB | BUF
Bills' James Cook: Returns to practice
Cook (ankle) was present for Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Cook didn't practice Wednesday due to a listed ankle issue, but the running back's return to the field a day later is a positive indicator with regard to his Week 10 availability. The Bills' next injury report will clarify Cook's official participation level Thursday.

DaQuan Jones DT | BUF
Bills' DaQuan Jones: Practicing Thursday
Jones (calf) is participating in practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Jones is practicing for the first time since suffering a calf injury in pre-game warmups prior to Buffalo's Week 6 loss to the Falcons. His participation level has yet to be revealed, but it wouldn't be surprising if Jones was eased back in, so his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins remains up in the air.

Lukas Van Ness DE | GB
Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Absent from practice Thursday
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Van Ness (foot) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Van Ness has missed three consecutive games due to a lingering foot injury, and the 2023 first-round pick hasn't been able to practice in any capacity in that span. If Van Ness is unable to retake the field in time to suit up at home against the Eagles on Monday, expanded defensive reps will continue going to Kingsley Enagbare and rookie fourth-rounder Barryn Sorrell.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Back at practice
Chubb (foot) returned to practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After missing Wednesday's session, Chubb's return to practice a day later is an encouraging development regarding his chances of being available Sunday against the Jaguars. The Texans' upcoming injury report is slated to reveal Chubb's official participation level Thursday.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Slated for limited practice
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.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Not practicing Thursday
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.
