Lloyd (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lloyd is in the midst of his second week of practicing with Green Bay after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Dec. 1. He's been a limited participant in each of Green Bay's ensuing five practices, and given that he's been on injured reserve all season, he may need to log multiple full sessions before getting cleared to make his 2025 debut. Whenever he's reinstated, Lloyd may not be in line for much of a role out of the Green Bay backfield, as Emanuel Wilson has proven to be a competent backup option this season behind lead back Josh Jacobs (knee).

Anzalone (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Anzalone was unable to practice Wednesday due to an illness, but he is now cleared of any injury designation a day later after turning in a full session Thursday. Anzalone is thus on target to suit up against the Rams, where he will likely continue his season-long streak of logging at least an 88 percent snap share.

Golden (wrist) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Golden has been listed with a wrist injury since Week 12 prep that sidelined him for two games and capped him at five offensive snaps and one target, which he didn't catch, in this past Sunday's win over the Bears. He joins Jayden Reed (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot) as limited participants this week as the Packers' receiving corps continues to be beset by injuries. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Golden enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest in Denver.

Williams (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Williams has sat out the Packers' last two games due to a foot injury, but he's displayed some progress this week by practicing in a limited fashion on consecutive days. The rookie receiver will likely still need to put in a full practice Friday in order to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game at Denver.

Al-Shaair (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Al-Shaair did not practice Wednesday with an ankle injury, but he upgraded to full participation Thursday to shed his injury designation. The 28-year-old snagged a meaningful interception to help seal the win against Kansas City in Week 14, adding to his eight pass breakups on the season. The seventh-year pro also has 84 tackles (39 solo) and a forced fumble through 13 games this season.

Wagner (knee) did not practice Thursday.

Wagner has now missed back-to-back practices to kick off Week 15, but prior to Washington's loss to the Vikings in Week 14, he logged a DNP/DNP/LP slate and was cleared to play despite being listed as questionable. The veteran linebacker then handled 100 percent of defensive snaps and tallied a tremendous 16 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks. As long as Wagner is able to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity Friday, it seems like he'll have solid odds of being cleared for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Giants.

Reed (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

All of Reed, Matthew Golden (wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot) are operating with practice restrictions this week, so it'll be interesting to see who among them will ditch designations and enter the weekend healthy along with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Bo Melton for Sunday's contest at Denver. In his first game action since Week 2 this past Sunday against the Bears, Reed gathered in all four targets for 31 yards and took two carries for 22 yards on a 47 percent snap share.

Autry (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Autry was unable to practice Wednesday with a knee injury, but an upgrade in participation Thursday means the defensive end is likely trending towards playing in Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. The pass rusher followed a similar practice regimen during Week 13 prep and was still able to suit up against the Colts, so a limited or full session Friday likely means Autry will be good to go for Sunday's game.

McConkey (foot) remained limited at practice Thursday.

After being on the field for 86 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles, McConkey has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions. Friday's final injury report will thus reveal whether the wideout, who hauled in just one of his five targets for 12 yards versus Philadelphia, carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Jackson (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Jackson upgraded to full participation after being limited in practice Wednesday. The safety has been cleared of the injury designation that forced him to miss consecutive weeks, and he is good to go for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys. His return means diminished opportunities for Fabian Moreau and Jay Ward, who shared snaps at slot cornerback in Jackson's absence.
