Brown (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Brown exited this past Sunday's game against the Texans in the second half with a shoulder injury that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday. Having said that, he was able to take part in some drills Thursday and appears to be trending in a positive direction. Friday's practice report will reveal if Brown has a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at San Francisco.

Bridges (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Bridges popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a knee issue. The rookie seventh-rounder is trending towards playing Sunday against the Packers, when he'll serve in a depth role in the secondary behind Trevon Diggs (knee), Kaiir Elam and DaRon Bland (foot). Bridges logged four tackles (three solo) during the Cowboys' Week 3 loss to the Bears.

Hernandez (knee) is inactive for Thursday night's matchup with the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The offensive guard has yet to make his season debut after tearing his ACL in Week 5 of the 2024 campaign. Hernandez has started all 35 games he's played in since signing with the Cardinals ahead of the 2022 season. For now, Isaiah Adams will continue to man the right-guard spot.

Parkinson (shoulder) was a limited at practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Parkinson has opened the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions as he continues to nurse an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 1. If available, the tight end could be asked to step into a more significant role in Week 4 against the Colts, with fellow tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) being added to the injury report Thursday. Parkinson's status for Sunday's matchup with Indianapolis will be much clearer following Friday's final injury report of the week.

Fuaga (knee/back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

The 2024 first-rounder didn't play in the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Seahawks due to knee and back injuries. Fuaga's ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he should resume his starting role at right tackle for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Johnson will miss a second consecutive game due to a groin injury that he suffered during the Cardinals' Week 2 win over the Panthers. Kei'Trel Clark should continue to see additional work in the Cardinals' secondary for as long as Johnson is sidelined. Johnson's next opportunity to play is Week 5 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Higbee was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hip injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Higbee has received at least a 50 percent snap share in all three of the Rams' games this season, but with just four catches (on six targets) for 37 yards and no touchdowns to date, he doesn't hold much sway in terms of fantasy. Fellow TE Colby Parkinson (shoulder) also had a cap on his reps Thursday, which leaves Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson as the current healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Wirfs (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Wirfs appears to be on the cusp of making his return to action after having knee surgery in early July, building off of Wednesday's limited session to practice in full Thursday. The offensive lineman's status for Sunday's contest against the Eagles will be much clearer once Tampa Bay releases its final injury report Friday.

Johnson (knee) is active for Thursday Night Football against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The left tackle missed Arizona's Week 3 loss with the knee issue and was listed as limited on all three practice reports this week. Johnson started the first two games of the season and should regain that role Thursday night. The 2023 first-round pick has started all 33 games he's played in during his career.

Miller failed to bring in his only target over 18 snaps in the Buccaneers' Week 3 win over the Jets, but he could be in line for a bigger role in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Eagles in the wake of Mike Evans missing the last two days of practice due to a hamstring injury, per Brianna Dix of the team's official site.

Miller had flashed with a 20-yard touchdown reception on his one catch during the Week 2 Monday night win over the Texans, but he couldn't break the stat sheet against New York. However, this Sunday's Week 4 clash with the Eagles could see Miller have some level of relevance, as, even if Chris Godwin (ankle) does make his season debut as a de facto No. 1 receiver in Evans' presumed absence, he could be on a snap limit. Consequently, Miller could share No. 4 receiver duties with rookie Tez Johnson in what could be a pass-heavy game plan for Tampa Bay. During Evans' Week 8-10 absence last season, Miller posted a 5-31-1 line on 11 targets while logging 112 snaps during that span.
