As Thursday Night Football gets underway shortly, the rest of the NFL is getting ready for their Sunday and Monday games. The second day of practice participation reports were issued this afternoon, with the Vikings and Packers issuing their first of the week for Monday Night Football.

There is still a fairly lengthy list of players sitting out practice on Thursday, but more players have been upgraded to limited, which is a good sign. A perfect example of this is New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks. He did not practice Wednesday and was limited on Thursday. Keep an eye on him Friday. If he is a full participant, he would be a go for Sunday. If he is limited, he becomes a definite "game-time decision."

Teams generally have formal practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and release practice participation and injury reports at the end of each session. Monday Night Football teams are a day later. For the participation reports, players are listed as Out (Definitely Will Not Play), Did Not Participate In Practice, Limited Participation in Practice, Full Participant In Practice.
