KEY THURSDAY MEDIA UPDATES

***Philip Rivers fully practiced on Thursday and will play this week as long as he does not experience any recurrent symptoms over the next 2-3 days. Expect him to be listed as a full participant on Friday and receive clearance from the independent neurologist. Any downgrade in practice participation would be a very poor sign.

***Jordan Reed admitted to a setback last week and is still not practicing. He told reporters he continues to feel soreness and tightness when he decelerates. Reed may try to play but is likely to be inactive and should already be considered questionable for Week 12.

***Ty Montgomery was again relegated to the rehab field in Green Bay on Thursday. It is now very unlikely he'll play this week. Leonard Fournette continued to practice and can be expected to see his usual workload. Mike Tolbert had a second consecutive DNP, which could mean Travaris Cadet will serve as LeSean McCoy's backup this week.

***Both Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman did not practice in Atlanta. Freeman has already been ruled out of Monday night's game. Expect Jones to increase his practice participation through the weekend and play without limitation.

EARLY WEEK PRACTICE PARTICIPATION REPORT AND EARLY EXPECTATIONS

The Wednesday and Thursday practice participation reports are our first chance to see which players each NFL team are limiting in practice after the previous week's games. Players limited in mid-week practice aren't necessarily in danger of missing that week's game. But they all need to be watched closely.

*Note: Monday night players with asterisk practice Thursday/Friday/Saturday.
