Landry (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Landry played 73% of defensive snaps and notched 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Bengals. He apparently sustained an injury in the process, and the inability to practice leaves his status for Monday's game against the Giants in question.

Knight (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, Trey Benson (knee), who remains on injured reserve, and Emari Demercado (ankle) were listed as non-participants, leaving Knight and Michael Carter as the healthiest of the Cardinals' top options at running back at the moment. Friday's practice report will reveal who among the quartet has a chance to suit up Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Mitchell got a chance to make his season debut Week 11 versus Denver but reverted to being a healthy scratch Week 12. With Isiah Pacheco now back in action, Mitchell quietly falls back to No. 4 on Kansas City's backfield depth chart. In his lone regular-season appearance thus far, Mitchell played seven offensive snaps and failed to haul in his only target.

Witherspoon (shoulder), who officially remains on IR, was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Witherspoon logged two straight full practices after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Considering his practice participation, the Rams will likely activate him to the 53-man roster in time for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Slayton (hamstring) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton has been dealing with a lingering hamstring injury since early October and was sidelined for each of Weeks 6, 7 and 11. He was able to return to action this past Sunday in Detroit, but his 63 percent snap share resulted in just one catch (on two targets) for 23 yards. Fellow WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) also was listed as limited Thursday, so the status of the Giants' top two options at the position is up in the air as they prepare for Monday's contest at New England. Meanwhile, rookie QB Jaxson Dart has cleared the concussion protocol, so Slayton will be working with his typical starting signal-caller if he's active himself Week 13.

Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Blue has now been made a healthy scratch in four consecutive games since he committed a fumble versus the Broncos in Week 8. In place of the rookie fifth-round pick, Malik Davis will continue to operate the No. 2 option behind workhorse starter Javonte Williams in Dallas' backfield.

Carson (hamstring) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Carson was initially listed as questionable to play Thanksgiving Day after popping up on Tuesday's injury report as a limited participant, and his hamstring injury will now force him to miss at least one game. Expect rookie third-round pick Shavon Revel to handle an increased role on defense versus Kansas City, and for as long as Carson remains sidelined.

Mumpfield (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

The return to full participation is a great sign for Mumpfield, who had his most productive game of the season in Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. If the wide receiver avoids a setback Friday, he will likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Robinson (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

In the second game with QB Jameis Winston under center in place of Jaxson Dart (concussion) this past Sunday at Detroit, Robinson busted out with nine catches (on 14 targets) for 156 yards and one touchdown. Both Robinson and fellow WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) were listed as limited Thursday, while the Giants announced that Dart cleared the protocol for head injuries. Robinson thus will be working with Dart if he's able to attain active status himself for Monday's contest at New England.

Tolbert is active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Tolbert was a surprising healthy scratch versus the Eagles in Week 12, but he'll suit up versus Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day. He essentially remains off the fantasy radar, though, given he's logged less than 20 percent of offensive snaps in each of the last three games. Jonathan Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive Thursday with Tolbert taking the field.
