Lane Johnson Active Thursday Night
Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) is active on Thursday night against the Giants. It's a bit of a surprise with Johnson aggravating a high ankle sprain in Week 5.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris Hogan Misses Practice Thursday
New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (thigh) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It's a mid-week downgrade, which usually isn't a good sign for said player's Sunday availability.

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (illness) both practiced in full on Thursday. Miller was active but didn't play last Sunday night.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTaylor Lewan Returns To Practice
Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lewan should be able to play in Week 6 against the Ravens. He's one of the NFL's best left tackles, so him being on the field is always good news for quarterback Marcus Mariota.
