Stiggers (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

A hip injury prevented Stiggers from playing against Carolina in Week 7, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is on track to return against Cincinnati on Sunday. Stiggers has five tackles (three solo) over six regular-season games will playing exclusively on special teams.

Schmitz (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Schmitz was able to receive clearance from concussion protocol Thursday after a Week 7 absence. The 26-year-old will be back in his starting role at center Sunday versus the Eagles.

Taylor (knee/shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Taylor was forced to leave the Chiefs' Week 7 win over the Raiders due to a shoulder injury. His ability to practice in full Thursday indicates he'll be available for Monday's game against the Commanders, which means Wanya Morris will remain in a reserve role on the offensive line.

Stout (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

The rookie third-rounder was unable to play against the Falcons in Week 7 due to an ankle injury. He upgraded from a limited practice participant Wednesday to a full one Thursday, which puts him on track to return for Week 8 against the Texans on Sunday. Stout's return will mean less snaps in the secondary for Chase Lucas and Darrell Luter.

Green (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Green picked up a toe injury during the 49ers' Week 7 win over the Falcons on Sunday, which limited his participation in Wednesday's practice. His ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that the injury isn't a long-term concern, and the 2024 second-rounder is on track to play against the Texans on Sunday. Green has logged 20 tackles (12 solo) and five pass defenses in six regular-season games.

O'Neill (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

O'Neill played every snap during the Vikings' Week 7 loss to the Eagles, but a lingering MCL sprain will keep him out of Thursday night's road game. Justin Skule will likely start at right tackle in O'Neill's absence. O'Neill's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Darrisaw (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Darrisaw went through an extensive routine during pregame warmups to test his knee injury, and the fifth-year offensive lineman has been cleared to play in Thursday night's game, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Darrisaw will continue to start at left tackle for the Vikings.

Pearsall (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall missed the first two practices of Week 8 prep due to a lingering PCL injury in his right knee and now has only one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the 49ers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at Houston. If the 49ers rule him out, it'd mark his fourth absence in a row.

Deculus (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Deculus will sit out of Thursday's game due to an ankle injury he picked up against the Colts on Sunday. He started at left tackle in the last three games, but the Chargers got a boost to their offensive line with the returns of Joe Alt (ankle) and Trey Pipkins (knee).

Wilson requested a trade from the Bengals on Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson has started all seven games to this point in the season, but he's been a starter in name only for Cincinnati, as he's logged just 19.7 and 45.6 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the past two contests. The Bengals have moved in the direction of rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight at linebacker. With Wilson's playing time fading, he's looking for a new opportunity elsewhere. Wilson is signed through the 2027 season.
