Melton (concussion) was estimated to have logged a limited practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Melton was unable to clear concussion protocol ahead of Arizona's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks after not practicing in any capacity. His return to the field marks progress, though he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol before being cleared for a Week 11 matchup with San Francisco.

Arnold (concussion) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday.

Arnold remains in the league's concussion protocol and will need to clear it before he's eligible to return to the field. If the 22-year-old is unable to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles, Rock Ya-Sin could see increased playing time.

Winters (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Winters has been dealing with a knee issue since getting hurt Week 8 versus Houston. He has been able to suit up in each of San Francisco's two subsequent contests despite not logging a full practice during that time, so odds are that he'll be able to play again this Sunday versus Arizona. However, it makes sense to monitor Winters' practice status Thursday and Friday to be sure he continues to participate in some capacity.

Cooper (foot) was limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

It's not a new injury for Cooper, who was cleared to play in Monday night's loss to the Eagles and has started all nine contests this season, playing 99 percent of the defensive snaps.

Walker (calf) was limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Walker has dealt with the calf issue for weeks but has been playing through it and logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Monday night's loss to the Eagles. Walker has yet to miss a game this season and has produced 77 tackles (40 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four pass breakups on 99 percent of the defensive snaps.

Weaver (ankle) was estimated to have logged a limited practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Weaver missed Arizona's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks with the same ankle issue. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, so it's unclear how much progress he has made. The Cardinals' receiving corps is beat up, as Marvin Harrison (appendectomy) has already been ruled out, and both Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (ankle) were placed on injured reserve this week.

Van Ginkel (neck) was limited in Wednesday's practice

Van Ginkel missed five games earlier in the season due to a neck injury. He has played in the Vikings' last two games, but the issue appears to have cropped up again, limiting his practice participation to open Week 11 prep. Van Ginkel will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against Chicago.

Metellus (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Metellus was cleared to play through a foot issue during the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens, when he posted three tackles (two solo) while playing every single defensive snap. Given his ability to practice Wednesday, Metellus should be able to play in Sunday's NFC North tilt against the Bears, barring a setback. The 2020 sixth-rounder has accumulated 22 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and an interception in the four games since the Vikings' Week 6 bye.

Hutchinson (elbow) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.

Hutchinson popped up on the injury report after failing to record any tackles in the Week 10 win over the Commanders. However, the injury isn't expected to be serious, and the 25-year-old said he'll be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles.

Williams (foot) was limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

After losing to the Eagles on Monday night, Green Bay held a walkthrough Wednesday. Williams went into that loss dealing with a foot injury but was cleared to play. However, the rookie wideout played just six offensive snaps, catching two pass for two yards.
