During the portion of practice open to the media, cornerback Jeff Okudah was practicing as he seeks to return from a concussion, Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports. Linebacker Christian Harris (ankle) and edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. (hand) also were on the practice field.
Defensive end Denico Autry (knee) and offensive guard Shaq Mason (knee) were among the players not on the practice field.
