The Seahawks activated Charbonnet (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Because Seattle opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 1, the team was required to activate him by Thursday afternoon, or else he'd need to remain on the PUP list for the rest of the season. Considering he finally logged a full practice Wednesday for the first time since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17, he's closing in on a return to action. That doesn't necessarily mean Charbonnet will be cleared to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, but Friday's injury report will reveal his chances to do so.

Montgomery (groin) isn't practicing Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wilson adds that Montgomery is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Giants, though that may just be conjecture from Wilson at this point. In any event, Montgomery's chances of suiting up look slim at best, as he has yet to practice since exiting during Houston's Week 5 win over the Titans. Woody Marks started in Montgomery's absence against the Jaguars in Week 6, and Marks is poised to lead the backfield again Sunday, with Dare Ogunbowale likely to fill a change-of-pace role and Jawhar Jordan (quadriceps) no longer a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad due to the latter's placement on the practice squad injured list.

Jacobs took part in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jacobs was removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, and while the Packers held a walkthrough Wednesday, it wasn't open to the media, so his activity Thursday marks his first visible on-field work since training camp. It remains unclear if Green Bay will clear him to play Sunday at Detroit, but the team has a roster exemption at its disposal that lasts until Monday, Oct. 26, which allows it flexibility if Jacobs isn't deemed ready to make his season debut this weekend.

Hall (quadriceps) was stretching with the rest of the team at the beginning of Thursday's practice, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Hall is present for the start of Thursday's practice and looks ready to practice in at least some capacity for the first time since he injured his quadriceps during the Jets' Week 3 loss to Detroit. Braelon Allen has filled in capably while starting the past three games in Hall's absence. If Hall, who didn't practice Wednesday, ultimately gets the green light to face Miami on Sunday, he and Allen would likely both see involvement against the winless Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, Hall had been receiving the majority of touches over Allen.

Irving (illness) was back at practice Thursday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's session due to an illness, Irving joined his teammates on the practice field Thursday, though it remains to be seen if he can ramp up to full participation. His availability for Sunday's game against the Panthers doesn't seem to be in any danger, so Irving is likely to work in his customary lead role come Sunday, ahead of Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker.

The Cardinals expect to remain without Love (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports Thursday.

Love didn't practice Wednesday after sitting out this past Sunday's win over the Rams. He still has two more opportunities to resume practicing and give himself a chance to return Sunday against the Broncos, but the Cardinals are pessimistic regarding the rookie third overall pick's availability. If Love misses a second consecutive game, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight would be in line for additional opportunities against a Denver run defense that has been surprisingly weak this season.

Coleman (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Coleman's full participation Wednesday after he was designated to return from injured reserve is an encouraging sign regarding his health ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, though the rookie running back will still need to be added back to the active roster with a subsequent transaction in order to suit up Sunday. Barring any setbacks, Coleman appears poised to rejoin a crowded Broncos backfield that also includes J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie (thumb).

Barkley (hamstring) is expected to practice Thursday and "is in line to play Monday against the Cowboys," Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Barkley has not practiced at all since injuring his hamstring in Week 4, but it appears he will be back out there Thursday. His return would be a welcome boost for an Eagles team that currently only has two other running backs available -- Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell, who joined the practice squad earlier this week.

Badie (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Badie sustained a thumb injury during the first half of the Broncos' Week 6 win over the Seahawks this past Thursday and did not return to the contest. He's opened the week with a DNP, and he'll have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Cardinals.

Nwangwu (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Nwangwu likely picked up his back issue during the six special-teams snaps he played in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Patriots. It remains unclear how significant the running back's injury is and whether he will be able to suit up for Week 7 against the Dolphins.
