Still not practicing

Jefferson (ankle) officially didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

Jefferson has yet to log any on-field reps since suffering an ankle injury in the first half of this past Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. He thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills Friday, at which point he'll likely receive a game designation ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Dolphins.
