Weaver (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

An ankle injury prevented Weaver from playing against the Seahawks in Week 10, but his full practice participation Thursday puts him on track to play in Sunday's NFC West tilt against the 49ers. Weaver has appeared in just four regular-season games and has seen limited snaps on offense and special teams, but he could see more work as a wideout in Week 11 due to the absence of Marvin Harrison (appendix).

Steele (migraine) was not listed on Thursday's injury report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Steele was added to the Cowboys' injury report ahead of their Week 9 clash against the Cardinals due to a migraine, but he was cleared to start at right tackle and played 48 of 67 offensive snaps. His absence from Thursday's injury report indicates that he is past the issue and on track to play Monday against Las Vegas.

Smith (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Smith continues to have his practice reps limited and monitored due to a lingering knee issue from the offseason. He should be available to play against the Raiders on Monday barring a setback.

McConkey (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

McConkey and Quentin Johnston (shin) have both opened the week with back-to-back limited practices. McConkey's ability to participate in a limited capacity indicates that the issue isn't a long-term concern, but a full practice Friday would likely clear him from an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars. If McConkey is unable to play or operates on a snap count in Week 11, then Derius Davis and rookies Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith would all be poised for an increase in snaps on offense.

Johnston (shin) remained limited at practice Thursday.

The same applies to fellow wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle), with each player now having one more chance to practice fully ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Ultimately, Friday's final injury report will clarify whether Johnston and/or McConkey head into the weekend with Week 11 injury designations.

The Falcons placed Malone (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Malone suffered the ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts. While coach Raheem Morris called the injury significant, an exact diagnosis is unclear. Malone will now be out until at least Week 15.

Thomas (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Fellow WR Parker Washington (hamstring) also was limited Thursday, with Friday's final injury report slated to reveal the duo's game statuses ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Prior to being inactive Week 10, Thomas recorded a 30-420-1 line on 60 targets through eight contests.

Long (hip/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Hip and knee injuries prevented Long from playing against the Texans in Week 10. His ability to return to practice Thursday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing in his recovery after missing Wednesday's session. Long's practice participation Friday will determine whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's tilt against the Chargers. Long has served as the Jaguars' TE1 since early October after Brenton Strange (hip) was placed on injured reserve. However, Strange's 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, and his return would revert Long to the TE2 job. If Strange and Long are both unable to play Sunday, then Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris would be the top options at tight end for the Jaguars.

Washington (hamstring) was limited in his return to practice Thursday.

Washington didn't practice Wednesday, but a limited session Thursday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Chargers. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Washington and/or fellow WR Brian Thomas (ankle, limited) are able to upgrade to full participation, as well as their game statuses ahead of Week 11 action.

Glasgow (back) logged a full practice session Thursday.

Glasgow was limited to begin the week after suffering a back injury in Detroit's Week 10 win over the Commanders. He should be ready to suit up for a Week 11 showdown against the Eagles.
