Pearsall (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Considering Pearsall has yet to practice in any capacity this week due to a PCL issue in his right knee, he seemingly is trending toward a third consecutive absence, something that may be confirmed on Friday's injury report. Fellow WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf) joined Pearsall as a DNP on Thursday, while Jauan Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder), Skyy Moore (ankle) and Jordan Watkins (calf) all were limited. At the moment, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson are the only healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jennings noted after this past Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay that he played with five broken ribs and a sprained ankle, and while he mustered 77 percent (53 of 69) of the offensive snaps, the result was one catch (on three targets) for seven yards. All of Ricky Pearsall (knee, DNP), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf, DNP), Skyy Moore (ankle, LP) and Jordan Watkins (calf, LP) are listed on the 49ers' second Week 7 injury report, so it remains to be seen who among the five wide receivers will be available Sunday against the Falcons. Currently, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson are the only healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Johnston (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday.

After being limited Wednesday, Johnston -- who was inactive for the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins in Week 6 -- returned to a full session a day later, which sets the stage for the wideout to return to action Sunday against the Colts. Prior to his injury, Johnston was off to a fantasy-friendly start to the 2025 campaign with a 26-377-4 line on 41 targets through five contests.

Jones (knee) did not practice Thursday.

Jones stepped up with a 5-79-0 receiving line (on eight targets) during Arizona's Week 6 loss to the Colts with Marvin Harrison (concussion) making an early exit, but he's now missed back-to-back practices due to a knee injury. He was limited in practice Week 6 due to the same issue, so it's possible that Arizona is simply now taking extra caution with Jones' activity level due to Harrison being uncertain for Week 7. On a positive note for the Cardinals, Michael Wilson (foot) resumed practicing in full Thursday.

Wilson (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday

One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a foot injury, Wilson logged every on-field rep, paving the way for him to be available Sunday against the Packers. The same can't be said for fellow WRs Marvin Harrison (concussion, limited) and Zay Jones (knee, DNP), who maintained their activity levels into Thursday. Wilson thus is the healthiest among the Cardinals' top three at the position, but there's also the question of who will be under center Week 7, as Kyler Murray remained limited due to a mid-foot sprain. Jacoby Brissett will earn another spot start this weekend if Murray is out.

Wicks (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Wicks has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions since sustaining an ankle injury during Green Bay's win over the Bengals in Week 6. In order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals, Wicks will likely need to upgrade to full practice reps Friday. Malik Heath and Savion Williams will benefit from added opportunities behind Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden if Wicks misses any time.

Watson (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Watson has been limited in practice the past two weeks, but the ever elusive full session has yet to occur as he puts the finishing touches on his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee Week 18 of last season. Coach Matt LaFleur said, "We'll see," when asked if Watson is set to return Sunday at Arizona, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. If Watson isn't ruled out on Friday's injury report, the Packers will have until Saturday afternoon to activate him from the reserve/PUP list, which would give him a chance to play this weekend.

Harrison (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Harrison emerged from this past Sunday's defeat at Indianapolis with a concussion, and he so far has managed back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 7 prep. He even was spotted hauling in passes from QB Jacoby Brissett while donning a yellow non-contact jersey Thursday, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. An independent neurologist will need to clear Harrison in order for the second-year pro to suit up Sunday against the Packers, but he at least appears to be making progress through the protocol for head injuries.

Meyers (knee/toe) isn't practicing Thursday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly previously noted that he expected Meyers to return to work Thursday, but the wideout now is on track to log his second straight DNP. Friday's session thus looms large in terms of the availability of Meyers for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. If Meyers is limited or out this weekend, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton and Alex Bachman could see added Week 7 opportunities alongside fellow WR Tre Tucker.

Turpin (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Turpin has now logged back-to-back limited sessions since retaking the practice field Wednesday, meaning he'll likely have to upgrade to full reps Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders. If Turpin is able to return to action Week 7, he'll operate as Dallas' top option in the return game and play a depth role at wide receiver.
