Seumalo (triceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Seumalo has been sidelined for Pittsburgh's last two games due to a triceps injury, but his ability to practice in full Thursday puts him on track to return against Baltimore on Sunday. If he's cleared to play, then Seumalo would likely reclaim his starting spot at left guard from Spencer Anderson.

Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Kamara appears on track to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, which would constitute his sixth straight missed contest. With Devin Neal (hamstring) having been placed on IR in Week 16, Audric Estime will be positioned to close out the 2025 campaign as New Orleans' backfield leader if Kamara indeed can't play Week 18.

Kolar (nose) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Kolar was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a nose injury, but the fourth-year tight end practiced without restriction Thursday and is on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers. Kolar has caught 10 passes (on 15 targets) for 142 yards and two scores across 16 regular-season games while serving as the Ravens' TE3 behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

Mooney (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

The knee injury appears to be a new issue for Mooney, given that he was not listed on Wednesday's practice report. His participation in Friday's practice will determine whether he enters Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints with an injury designation. If Mooney is unable to play, then David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins would be in line for more offensive snaps in Week 18.

Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Jacobs has been battling lower-body injuries since he sustained a knee injury Week 11 at the Giants. He sat out Week 12 against the Vikings as a result, but he's suited up for each of the last five contests, totaling 73 touches during that span. Jacobs actually ranked third among Packers RBs in offensive snaps (13) behind Chris Brooks (21) and Emanuel Wilson (17) in Week 17, and with the team locked in to the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs could find himself inactive Sunday at Minnesota to get him as healthy as possible for the postseason.

Rankins (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Rankins was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an elbow issue, but he was able to return Thursday in a limited capacity. He would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts if he were to practice in full Friday. Rankins has accumulated 25 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery in the 11 games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Waddle (ribs) returned to a limited practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

After missing practice Wednesday, Waddle's return to a capped session a day later bodes well for his chances of being available for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots. Friday's final injury report is set to determine whether the Dolphins' top wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to face New England in Week 18.

Stingley (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Stingley was held out of Wednesday's practice while managing an oblique issue, but the fourth-year corner was able to log a limited session Thursday. Given that the Texans could still win the AFC South division title, Stingley would likely be available for Sunday's game against the Colts unless he were to suffer a setback. Friday's practice report will determine whether he enters Week 18 with an injury designation.

Jackson (back) practiced fully Thursday.

Jackson, who was inactive Week 17 due to a back contusion, now has logged consecutive full practices, and when asked whether he'd be available to start in Sunday night's regular-season finale against the Steelers, the QB left little doubt that he plans to play, noting that he will "100 percent" be out there Week 18. Meanwhile, Jackson, who indicated Thursday that he feels "great" at this stage, plans to use extra padding to protect his back this weekend in a game in which the AFC North title is on the line, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Hockenson (shoulder) did not practice Thursday.

Hockenson has now been listed as a non-participant on five consecutive practice reports due to a shoulder issue, and he wasn't able to suit up Week 17. Barring a surprising return to the practice field Friday, it appears as though Hockenson is trending in the wrong direction to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Packers. Josh Oliver will operate as Minnesota's starting tight end if Hockenson is unable to play in Week 18.
