John Tavares, Mitchell Marner and William Nylander were absent from practice Wednesday because of an illness.
Tavares and Marner each did not play a 4-1 win against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday; Nylander had a goal and three shots on goal in 19:38 of ice time.
"I don't have a lot of update there," coach Sheldon Keefe said of the three forwards. "They are not feeling well enough have it make sense to come in today. We will just monitor them through the day, they'll try to get some food down and see where they are at tomorrow."
Toronto visits Philadelphia on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; TSN4, NBCSP).
Martin Jones, who did not dress against the Blues, skated prior to practice Wednesday but left before the main session began. The goalie remains day to day with an undisclosed injury.
Ilya Samsonov will start against the Flyers; Dennis Hildeby will back up.
"Just the fact he felt comfortable going on the ice to give it a test run this morning, he skated before the practice group and that was positive," Keefe said of Jones. "I haven't got a whole of a report in terms of how he felt but he didn't do a lot today. It was just more trying to stay up and running but certainly not ready to really push himself at this point. It's just a situation that is day to day and they have to keep on top of."
