St. Brown (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Dan Campbell gave some key players a day off Wednesday, with St. Brown among them. The star wideout is practicing the following day. If St. Brown manages to practice without limitations, he'll eliminate any remaining doubts about his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Tate (shoulder) won't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tate also sat out Wednesday due to this injury. The rookie fourth overall pick will have one more opportunity to practice in some capacity Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Tate sits out a game for the first time in his young career, Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley (hip) could get more downfield targets while Wan'Dale Robinson runs his customary short and intermediate routes.

Egbuka (concussion/foot) is wearing a regular jersey at Thursday's practice, suggesting he has been cleared for contact, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Egbuka was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and it remains to be seen whether he can upgrade to full participation Thursday, but he looks to be trending in the right direction on his quest to clear concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons. The 2025 first-round pick sat out Tampa Bay's Week 7 win over the Panthers, so if Egbuka returns to action Sunday, he would be catching passes from Baker Mayfield in a game for the first time since Week 3.

Chase (ankle) isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury, and he's expected to suit up Sunday against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Chase was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but the injury isn't expected to keep him from taking the field Sunday. His participation in practice will still bear monitoring as the week unfolds. Chase has two chances left to resume practicing without limitations, which would put him in position to avoid a Week 8 injury designation.

The Packers expect Golden (shoulder/foot), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Panthers, to suit up, James Palmer of NFL on Prime Video reports.

Golden was given a questionable tag after being listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough following practice absences Monday and Tuesday. If the 2025 first-round pick gets the green light when game statuses are confirmed approximately 90 minutes prior to Thursday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Golden would likely occupy his customary starting role across from Christian Watson.

Turpin (ribs) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Turpin continues to miss practice with a rib injury he picked up in the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Packers. If the team's main returner continues to miss sessions, Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo should continue to return kicks in Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Mims (ankle) was a limited participant in Denver's practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Mims popped up on Wednesday's injury report with an ankle injury, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's matchup versus the Chiefs. If he ends up being unable to play, Lil'Jordan Humphrey could see increased playing time at receiver, while Kris Abrams-Draine would likely handle punt return duties.

Skowronek (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Skowronek has missed the Steelers' last two games with a calf injury he sustained back in Week 5 versus the Colts, and now his availability for Week 8 is up in the air. Whether he ends up suiting up Sunday versus the Browns might hinge on whether he's able to upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday.

The Eagles signed Skinner to the practice squad Wednesday.

Skinner was with the Bills for training camp but was cut in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster. He's been without a team since then, but he'll now have a new opportunity with the Eagles as a member of the practice squad. He could be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders depending on the statuses of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle).

Wayne (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Wayne may have picked up the injury during the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, when he played 16 snaps (10 on offense, six on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC East showdown against New England. Wayne has not recorded a target in each of his last three outings after turning 12 targets into four catches for 65 yards through the first three games of the regular season as a member of the Texans.
