Kneeland (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Kneeland aggravated an ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Panthers, and he finished that contest with three tackles (two solo) while playing just 20 snaps on defense. The 2024 second-rounder was able to log a limited practice Wednesday and would likely be cleared to play against Washington on Sunday with a full practice over the next two days. Kneeland has 11 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, through five regular-season games in 2025.

Molden (thumb) did not practice Wednesday.

Molden exited Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a hand injury but was able to return. His absence from practice is presumably related, leaving his status for Week 7 against the Colts unclear at this point.

Matlock (personal) practiced in full Wednesday.

Matlock didn't play this past Sunday against Miami due to a personal matter. However, his presence in practice Wednesday suggests he'll be able to return to action in Week 7 versus Indianapolis. Matlock has typically logged around 20-to-30 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps as the team's lone fullback.

Dye (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Dye logged a fairly typical 68 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Miami, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. The severity of the issue is unclear, but his participation in practice the rest of the week should make his status for Week 7 against the Colts clearer.

Wilson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Wilson played 63 defensive snaps and recorded his second interception of the season during the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Panthers, but he looks to have picked up an elbow injury in the process. He would likely avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Commanders with a full practice over the next two days.

Mingo (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Mingo's practice participation has been inconsistent since the Cowboys designated the 2023 second-rounder to return from injured reserve Oct. 1. He's opened the week with a limited session Wednesday, but he would give himself a better chance at being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders were he to practice in full over the next two days.

Robinson (pectoral) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Robinson has missed two straight games with the pectoral issue, though Wednesday marked his first activity since he suffered the injury. He'll likely need to ramp up his practice participation in the latter half of the week to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

Mitchell (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Mitchell departed with a hamstring injury early in the second quarter of last Thursday's loss to the Giants and wasn't able to return. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Mitchell is iffy to suit up in Week 7 in Minnesota, but his ability to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- Wednesday should bring some optimism about Mitchell's likelihood of playing. If, however, he can't take the field against the Vikings, Kelee Ringo could be asked to start at cornerback along with Adoree' Jackson.

James (wrist) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

James got X-rays on his wrist after he hurt it in Week 6 at Miami, but they came back negative, and it looks like he avoided a significant injury. If he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, there's a good chance he could avoid carrying any injury designation into the weekend.

Nolen (calf) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Nolen was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and then logged a limited session the same day. He hasn't practiced since late July, so he'll likely need several days of activity before being ready for game action.
