Adam Thielen Gets In Some Work Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (foot) ran some routes at the start of practice on Thursday before walking off for injury rehab.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Khalil Herbert could be in line for heavy usage in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers after the Bears put Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday.

Bears Place Damien Williams On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed running back Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he will be limited on Thursday and expects to play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.

Peyton Barber On Track To Return Against Denver

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber (toe) returned to a full practice after missing the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears with a minor case of turf toe.

Sammy Watkins Absent From Practice On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) missed practice on Wednesday after being forced from the Monday night game against the Indianapolis Colts early.

D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Remain Limited

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) were limited practice participants on Wednesday to begin the week.

Ben Roethlisberger Misses Another Wednesday Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (hip, pectoral) missed yet another Wednesday practice.
