Broncos QB Bo Nix's ankle is "healthy and good to go" ahead of Thursday night's game against the Seahawks, but that "doesn't mean a return from an injury is complete," as mentally trusting it and taking hits take time. Nix needs to "let it rip" and also use his legs, while remaining in the pocket for the offense's concepts to work, especially with WR Jaylen Waddle, who "takes a second to get himself open."

Browns special teams coordinator Byron Storer said he is preparing for Sunday's game against the Ravens as if WR KC Concepcion Jr. won't be available, the Akron Beacon Journal's Tony Grossi reported Thursday. The comment was notable because Storer and the coordinators do not typically discuss player availability, but it appears to reflect preparedness rather than an indication of Concepcion's status. The rookie practiced on Wednesday and again on Thursday as he works through the concussion protocol.

Berman called it a "potential" lineup if Thursday's status is an indication.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers after a follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night revealed movement in a small, superficial blood clot, the team announced. The clot was found on an ultrasound in London before the Week 5 game against the Jaguars, after Hurts sought treatment for a calf injury he said came from being cleated in the Rams game. Doctors cleared him to play, and he played without limitation and practiced in full on Wednesday. The Eagles said Hurts is out "as we determine the appropriate course of treatment." Hurts is expected to be out until the medical situation is resolved, with QB Tanner McKee taking over "moving forward."

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins remained out of practice on Thursday. Several other Browns players returned to practice on Thursday, including RB Dylan Sampson, while Judkins was among seven players still not practicing.
| Footballguys view: Jaleel McLaughlin should be the lead back for the Browns with Judkins banged up. Dylan Sampson may be involved as he comes back from his injury, but it would be a lot to ask of him in his return. |

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers because of a superficial blood clot, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday. According to a team statement, Hurts said he was cleated in the calf during the Rams game. An ultrasound in London last Saturday found the clot, but doctors concluded he could safely play, and he "played without limitation" Sunday against the Jaguars. A follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night "revealed movement in the small blood clot," and the team said Hurts will be out "as we determine the appropriate course of treatment."
| Footballguys view: Blood clots are nothing to mess around with. According to reports, the clot moved and that should be setting off alarm bells for team doctors. He will undergo treatment and has to be considered out for an undetermined amount of time. Tanner McKee is the starter while Hurts is recovering. |

Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was working off to a side field with trainers during Thursday's practice. Head coach Aaron Glenn called Hall 'week to week' on Wednesday, and Hall did not practice that day. He missed the Week 5 win over the Browns with the quad injury.

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) will not practice on Thursday, head coach Dan Quinn said. Quinn said he is hopeful Diggs will return to the practice field by the end of the week.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is on the wrong side of questionable. He's not trending towards playing in Week 6, so that means we'll see more work for guys like Terry McLaurin and Chig Okonkwo. |
