Fant Donaldson (back) upgraded to full participation at Thursday's practice.

Fant was limited at Wednesday's practice, but the veteran TE faced no limitations Thursday, suggesting that he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers. He has worked as the Saints' No. 2 option at the position behind Juwan Johnson.

Donaldson (shoulder) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Donaldson has yet to resume practicing since sustaining a shoulder injury in Week 7, which suggests he's trending for another absence in Sunday's Week 10 matchup with the Panthers. Alvin Kamara and Audric Estime are both expected to be available, while Travis Etienne's (hamstring) status is up in the air as the latter tries to work his way back from a hamstring injury that landed him on IR.

Kamara (rest/back) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Kamara was listed as a non-participant Wednesday due to the combination of rest and back, but his return to all drills one day later gives him the all-clear ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Panthers. He may be welcoming back fellow RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) in Week 10 after the latter was designated for return from IR and so far has managed a pair of limited sessions, while Audric Estime is coming off a 16-touch showing this past Sunday versus the Browns.

The Bengals designated Davis (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Thursday.

Davis was placed on injured reserve in late September after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3 against the Steelers. The Bengals now have 21 days to officially activate the 30-year-old for him to remain eligible to play this season.

Henry (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Henry played through the injury in last week's loss to Green Bay and has now managed back-to-back limited practices to open Week 10. He'll likely gut it out again Sunday against the Lions in Munich, and while the matchup is favorable, rookie Eli Raridon had been cutting into Henry's snaps and targets even before the veteran injured his foot in a Week 8 win at Miami. Henry played 49.2 percent of snaps in the Week 9 loss to Green Bay, catching each of his three targets for 35 yards.

Kincaid (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Kincaid has opened Week 10 prep with back-to-back limited sessions. He has faced plenty of practice limitations throughout the season, but Kincaid has yet to sit out a game. That pattern seems unlikely to change in Week 10 against the Jets.

Tuten (ankle/foot) didn't practice Thursday.

Tuten didn't practice Wednesday either, though as Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville points out, Tuten logged 'DNPs' Monday through Wednesday last week yet still played in last Thursday's win over the Ravens. In any case, Friday's practice report will reveal whether Tuten is able to work at all this week, as well as his game status for Sunday's game against the Titans. Next up for carries if he ends up sidelined this weekend is Chris Rodriguez (hand), who was limited Thursday.

Etienne (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Ross Jackson of WWL-TV reports.

The Saints designated Etienne for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he so far has logged back-to-back limited practices during Week 10 prep. He'll have one more opportunity Friday to put himself in a position for his first game action since Week 3, when he suffered a strained left hamstring.

Spears (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Spears worked out on a side field for at least part of Thursday's practice, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, which is a step in the right direction after Spears didn't practice Wednesday. Tony Pollard (finger/rest) didn't practice Thursday, but with Tennessee's coaching staff suggesting that rookie Nicholas Singleton could start to get more involved moving forward, Spears is unlikely to handle more than a handful of touches even if the latter gets the green light for his first action since Week 6.

Goff (chest) practiced fully Thursday.

Goff kicked off Week 10 prep as limited Wednesday due to a chest injury, but his return to all activity one day later puts him in the clear for Sunday's contest against the Patriots in Munich. He'll be taking on a New England defense that was just torched by Packers QB Jordan Love for 372 yards and three touchdowns in Week 9.
