Tight end Jimmy Graham returned to practice after taking an extra day of rest Wednesday.

Quarterback Justin Fields (rib/knee), defensive back Xavier Crawford (back), defensive back Duke Shelley (ankle), linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe (hamstring), linebacker Danny Trevathan (knee) and running back Ryan Nall (ankle) are dealing with injuries but were full participants.
