Thursday's NFL roster and injury news for Week 4

DeAndre Hopkins is still out.

The Cardinals star wide receiver did not practice for the second consecutive day Thursday because of an ankle injury. It's unclear when the issue arose for Hopkins, who carried his typical workload in Arizona's Week 3 loss to the Lions.

The All-Pro wideout has been an instant hit on his new team, leading the NFL in receptions (32) and yards (356) through three games. His status will be worth monitoring closely ahead of the Cardinals' Sunday bout with the Panthers.

Arizona announced a pair of moves with its practice squad, adding safety T.J. Ward and releasing offensive lineman Rick Leonard.

Ward's addition is worth noting. A two-time Pro Bowl safety and Super Bowl champion with the Denver Broncos, Ward last played in the NFL in 2017. His addition gives the Cardinals a veteran safety presence as Budda Baker recovers from thumb surgery.

The team also listed cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (head) as limited, and linebacker Devon Kennard (calf) as a DNP. Receiver Christian Kirk was limited again with a groin injury.

Here's other news, injuries and transactions we're tracking on Thursday:

• New York Jets offensive tackle Chuma Edoga did not return after sustaining a shoulder injury four plays into the first quarter. Rookie Mekhi Becton, who was questionable entering TNF with a shoulder injury and is the usual starter, replaced him. Becton would not finish the game as he reinjured his shoulder. Cornerback Blessuan Austin (knee) and receiver Lawrence Cager (hamstring) both had their nights cut short due to injury.
• Denver Broncos rookie receiver KJ Hamler sustained a hamstring injury in the first half and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Rookie tight end Noah Fant (ankle) was ruled out after getting injured in the third quarter.
• Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham was added to the injury report Thursday with a back injury that caused him to be a limited participant. Running back Kareem Hunt (groin) did not practice, while guard Joel Bitonio (back) and cornerback Denzel Ward (groin) were limited.
• Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (groin) and cornerback Quinton Dunbar (knee) did not practice for a second consecutive day. Running backs Chris Carson (knee) and Carlos Hyde (shoulder), and CB Shaquill Griffin (shoulder) were limited again.

• New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore is not practicing Thursday after tweaking his hamstring in practice the previous day, Rapoport reported. The injury isn't considered significant but worth watching given its proximity to Sunday's game against the Lions.
• Houston Texans receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) was limited in practice. Running back Duke Johnson (ankle) was upgraded to full after being limited Wednesday.
• Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver did not practice Thursday but his knee is structurally sound, per Rapoport. The young lineman has been battling a knee injury since Week 2. Rapoport added that Oliver has more of a bone bruise than anything and is considered day to day.

Linebacker Nick Vigil (groin) provided a bit of good news as he was full participant after being previously listed as limited.
• The Atlanta Falcons are signing kicker Elliott Fry to their practice squad, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. As Younghoe Koo deals with a groin strain, there's a chance Fry is elevated in time to make his NFL debut Monday night against the Packers Pelissero added.
