Ridgeway (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.

Ridgeway has been on injured reserve since late August and is eligible to return as soon as he's healthy. A full practice is a step in the right direction, but he'll need to be activated from injured reserve before he can return to game action.

Wilson (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wilson played all 67 of Arizona's defensive snaps in Week 5 versus the Titans, and it's not clear when he picked up the ankle injury. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice before the Cardinals release their final practice report of the week Friday.

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

An ankle injury prevented Kneeland from playing against the Jets in Week 5. He has two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against Carolina. James Houston (knee) and Jadeveon Clowney (hip) would continue to see more snaps at defensive end if Kneeland is not cleared to return.

Yiadom (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Yiadom was sidelined for New Orleans' Week 5 win over the Giants. His inability to practice Wednesday isn't encouraging, but he'll have the chance to ramp up his activity as the week progresses toward Sunday's matchup against New England.

Houston was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Houston played 27 defensive snaps during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets but still managed to produce with three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks. He had his practice reps limited during Wednesday's session, but he has two more opportunities to increase his participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road bout against the Panthers.

Young logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Young has yet to play this season, so his availability for any portion of practice is encouraging. Per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, Young began practicing later in the session, but he was wearing pads and participating in all activities.

Norman-Lott (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Norman-Lott sat out in Week 5 at Jacksonville with a shoulder injury, but it now looks like he's back to 100 percent for Week 6. He projects to start on the defensive line Sunday against a run-heavy Lions squad.

Sanborn (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Sanborn entered concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets. The fourth-year linebacker would have to return to practice this week and be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Panthers on Sunday. Rookie fifth-rounder Shemar James logged 15 tackles in Week 5 and would be in line to start against Carolina if Sanborn is not cleared to play.

Reid (concussion) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Reid suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Giants and is in the league's protocol. He'll need to practice in full at some point this week to be available in Week 6 against the Patriots, but this was a positive start.

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

Diggs continues to have his practice participation limited due to a lingering knee injury from the 2024 season. He hasn't missed a single regular-season game this year and played every defensive snap during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, when he logged four tackles (one solo). Diggs will likely play against the Panthers on Sunday unless he suffers a setback over the coming days.
