No players were upgraded to full participation just yet.

Returned from practice: Marquise Brown, Zach Ertz, Kelvin Beachum

DNP: A.J. Green, Rashard Lawrence, Ezekiel Turner and J.J. Watt

Limited: Rodney Hudson, Justin Pugh, Zaven Collins, James Conner, Greg Dortch, Rondale Moore, Matt Prater

It's good to see Pugh/Hudson return after missing Wednesday, even in limited fashion.

A mysterious "illness" tab is labeled on Watt, who has been dealing with a calf injury since the beginning of the season. Today, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said he wasn't overly concerned about his status.

The absences of Green/Lawrence were already expected, as neither are on track to play this week.

Moore could potentially return this week after practicing both days thus far. He was fairly short with reporters following practice.

Rondale Moore said he was good or solid eight times when asked numerous times about how he was feeling and his status for Sunday. His interview spanned 1:21.

Short and sweet without diving too far into things from the WR today.

On Carolina's side of town, Christian McCaffrey missed his second day of practice but is still expected to play barring any setbacks according to Ian Rapoport.

While #Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey was a DNP again with a thigh issue, my understanding is there is still optimism that he plays. He’s kept it close to the vest, but barring a setback he should be OK.
