Ratledge (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Ratledge was listed as limited at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, and he's now officially logged a limited practice as he deals with an apparent knee injury. The offensive lineman will have one more opportunity to practice in full before Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

Cooper (foot) was limited in practice Thursday.

Cooper has now been limited in practice two straight days. He's still dealing with a foot issue that has resulted in at least one limited practice each of the past three weeks. Cooper has played almost every defensive snap while managing the injury, so there's reason to be optimistic about his status for Sunday versus the Vikings unless he's encountered a setback.

Phillips (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The linebacker was limited during Wednesday's session. Phillips looks very much on track to play Sunday against the Cowboys. In two games with the Eagles since being traded by the Dolphins, the fifth-year pro has recorded 11 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery.

Glasgow (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Glasgow was officially limited at the team's first practice of the week after Detroit held a walkthrough Wednesday. The offensive lineman is dealing with a knee injury, and he will have one more chance to log a full practice Friday before the team squares off with the Giants in Week 12.

Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Decker was considered a non-participant for the team's walkthrough Wednesday, but he was able to make his return to the practice field Thursday. The offensive tackle has been nursing a shoulder injury all season, so he seems likely to play Sunday against the Giants.

Walker (neck) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Walker suffered a stinger Sunday against the Giants and has now been held out of practice two straight days to begin the week. He'll likely need to participate in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up Sunday against Minnesota. If Walker is ruled out, Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper could both see more than their usual allotment of defensive snaps.

Johnson (back) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The cornerback managed to return to the field after missing Wednesday's session and the last two games. Johnson now appears to have a chance to suit up in Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He's played on at least 60 percent of the defensive snaps in all six games he's played in this season.

Sewell (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Sewell was considered limited at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, and he has now officially logged a limited session one day later. The offensive lineman is dealing with an ankle issue that has plagued him for a couple weeks. Sewell was able to play through the injury in the team's Week 11 loss to the Eagles, and his participation at practice Friday will provide more clarity as to his status for Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

Dorsey (wrist) had his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Benjamin Raven of mlive.com reports.

Dorsey hurt his wrist Week 4 against Cleveland and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a full session during his first day back at practice. That gives Dorsey a chance of returning for Sunday's game against the Giants, though he'd need to first be activated by the Lions.

Fries (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Fries was considered a non-participant at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, so his participation was a step in the right direction Thursday. The offensive lineman was able to play through a calf injury in Week 11 against the Bears, and he'll have one more chance to leave behind the new knee injury by practicing in full Friday before Sunday's matchup with the Packers.
