Hall (ankle) has returned to action Thursday night versus the Steelers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Hall was sidelined to open the second half after suffering an ankle injury in the second quarter. The 23-year-old is now back out on the field, manning a prominent role on Cleveland's defensive line.

Dean (ankle) has been ruled out from returning to Thursday's matchup versus Cleveland, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Dean was injured in the first half and ruled out shortly after halftime. Prior to his exit, he recorded one tackle and one defensed pass. Per Fittipaldo, Daylen Everette will likely take over for Dean for the remainder of Thursday Night Football.

Graham (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's Week 4 matchup versus Pittsburgh, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Graham suffered a knee injury early in the first half and was ruled out shortly after halftime. The second-year pro didn't record any defensive statistics prior to his exit. Mike Hall suffered an ankle injury in the contest and is questionable to return, leaving Maliek Collins and Adin Huntington as Cleveland's only defensive tackles.

Hall (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday night's matchup with Pittsburgh.

Hall suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter when his teammate Jared Verse rolled up on his lower leg. The defensive lineman's status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. With Mason Graham (knee) already done for the night, Maliek Collins and Adin Huntington will operate as the team's primary options at defensive tackle.

Dean (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game versus Cleveland, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Pittsburgh was already lacking depth at the cornerback position ahead of this contest, so Dean's injury isn't good news as it relates to slowing down the surging Browns offense. If Dean can't return in Week 4, Daylen Everette should see more snaps.

Pili (neck) was a full practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Pili didn't play against Washington in Week 3 but appears to be good to go for this Sunday's matchup versus the Chargers. However, he was a nominal part of Seattle's defense over the first two weeks, logging just six defensive snaps and four snaps on special teams.

Tillman (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

With consecutive DNPs to begin Week 4 prep, Tillman's status for Sunday's clash in San Francisco is looking very cloudy. Denver's practice report Friday should reveal if Tillman has even a chance of suiting up against the 49ers.

Emerson (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Emerson suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 2 win over the Ravens, subsequently resulting in him missing the Week 3 meeting with the Raiders. However, with Emerson logging a full session to begin the practice week ahead of Monday's clash with the Cardinals, it appears he will be back on the field for that one.

Jones (undisclosed) was cut after reaching an injury settlement with the Commanders on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones was placed on the practice-squad injured list by Washington on Tuesday with an undisclosed injury. He will now have an opportunity to pass a physical and sign elsewhere.

Banks (toe/knee) did not practice Thursday.

Banks hurt his toe in Week 2 against the Jets and didn't play last Thursday versus Atlanta. He also has a knee injury and hasn't practiced at all over the past two weeks. That puts his status for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay in serious peril, and Green Bay's practice report Friday should reveal if Banks has even a chance of suiting up.
