Williams has an ankle injury and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Jets, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

The defensive tackle did not record a stat on the game's opening drive. Williams has played on a majority of the defensive snaps in every game this season for New England, recording 27 tackles (14 solo), including 3.5 sacks.

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

Ojulari's practice participation has been limited since his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened in late October. He is recovering from a torn ACL, MCL and lateral meniscus in his left knee that he suffered in August 2024, and he'll likely need to log full practices before being activated from injured reserve.

Browning (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Browning entered the league's concussion protocol following the Cardinals' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. He's opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, so even if he returns to practice Friday, he would have to progress through the league's five-step protocol in order to be cleared to play against San Francisco on Sunday.

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

Nolen sustained a knee injury during the Cardinals' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. The injury limited his practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, but he would avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against San Francisco with a full practice Friday. The rookie first-rounder has posted six tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense over his last two games.

Lenoir (calf) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's a new issue for the cornerback, who did not appear on Wednesday's injury report. Lenoir's status will be worth monitoring Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The fifth-year pro has played on nearly every defensive snap for San Francisco this season, recording 33 tackles (24 solo) and three pass breakups, including an interception.

Taylor-Demerson (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Taylor-Demerson has opened Week 11 prep with back-to-back DNPs due to an ankle injury that he sustained during the Cardinals' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. He would need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday in order to have a chance at playing against the 49ers on Sunday. Kitan Crawford would serve as the primary backup at safety behind Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker if Taylor-Demerson is not cleared to play.

Whittington (back) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The kickoff returner and wide receiver was limited during Wednesday's session. Whittington played through the injury last Sunday against the 49ers, logging seven offensive snaps and 14 special-teams snaps. In 2025, he has 12 catches for 121 yards, along with 109 kickoff-return yards.

Johnson (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

A back injury prevented Johnson from playing against the Seahawks in Week 10, and he's opened Week 11 prep with back-to-back DNPs. The rookie second-rounder would need to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity in order to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the 49ers.

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

Melton has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he was spotted wearing a yellow non-contact jersey during Thursday's session, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Melton was unable to play in Week 10 while in the league's five-step concussion protocol, and he would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Sunday's NFC West tilt against the 49ers.

Jobe (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The cornerback was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Jobe is headed in the right direction ahead of Sunday's clash with the Rams, though it's unclear if he's out of concussion protocol yet. The fourth-year pro has played on at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps in every game he's finished in 2025.
