Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (head) remains in the league's concussion protocol and is in danger of missing his third straight game in the Week 8 meeting against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) was unable to practice on Thursday after suffering a neck stinger in the Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Aaron Rodgers Sticking To Same Routine

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session.

Nico Collins Missing Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

The Los Angeles Rams designated rookie running back Kyren Williams (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday.
