Tom (oblique) logged a limited practice Thursday.

Tom continues to deal with both oblique and back issues, though he's trending up after not practicing in any capacity Wednesday. That suggests he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, though that is far from certain. Tom's status should become clearer Friday, depending on whether he receives an injury designation.

Robinson (pectoral) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Robinson was considered limited at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, and he continued to be limited at Thursday's first official practice of the week. The defensive end has missed the team's last two games with a pectoral injury, and he'll have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

Speights (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The inside linebacker was a limited participant Wednesday. Speights suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Rams' Week 5 loss to the 49ers and missed the team's Week 6 win over the Ravens. The second-year pro is trending in the right direction ahead of this Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.

Thomas (head) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas popped up on the injury report at practice Thursday due to a migraine, and his status ahead of Week 7 will be worth monitoring. The safety will look to erase any concerns about his availability by logging a full practice Friday prior to Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Parkinson (concussion) was a full participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The tight end missed last Sunday's win over the Ravens after suffering the head injury in Week 5 against the 49ers. Parkinson appears on track to play this Sunday versus the Jaguars. He has four catches for 11 yards in four games this season.

Sanborn (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Sanborn has now progressed from a limited participant Wednesday to a full go Thursday, but it's unclear if he's cleared concussion protocol quite yet. The linebacker will look to log another full practice Friday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.

Yiadom (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

The cornerback missed Wednesday's session as well as the last two games. Yiadom now appears on the right track ahead of Sunday's clash with the Bears. The slot corner recorded 16 tackles (11 solo) across New Orleans' first four games.

Taylor (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The cornerback was limited during Wednesday's session. Taylor played on 61 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to New England, so his return to practice should indicate that his knee issue is minor. The fourth-year pro has 27 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups in 2025.

David (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

David has appeared on many of the team's injury reports this season with an apparent knee issue, but the linebacker hasn't been forced to miss any game action. David will have two more chances to return to practice before Monday night's contest in Detroit.

Williams (concussion) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Williams remains in concussion protocol ahead of Week 7, missing the team's first practice of the week. The reserve running back and returner will have two more chances to return to practice and potentially be cleared to play in Monday's matchup with the Lions.
