Williams (Achilles) was a full practice participant Friday, Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle reports.

Williams was limited Thursday due to an Achilles issue, but it appears the problem was only minor, as the veteran defensive end upgraded to full participation Friday. As such, he doesn't seem to be at risk of missing the Monday night matchup. Williams has continued to play a key role along the Seahawks' defensive line, though he hasn't logged a sack since taking down the quarterback in each of his first three games of the campaign.

Lock (elbow) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lock continues to work through a right elbow injury, which lead to him operating as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs in Week 7. He'll have one more chance to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Clark (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Clark popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a back injury. His late addition to the practice report isn't a great sign, and if he cannot play Sunday, then LT Overton and Elijah Garcia would both be in line for more snaps on the defensive line.

Wilson reverted to Carolina's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wilson got his first elevation of the season ahead of Thursday's loss to Green Bay and ended up logging every defensive snap for the Panthers. He finished with eight tackles (six solo) in his first appearance since Week 12 of last year. Wilson has two more practice-squad elevations remaining, and he could get another opportunity in Week 9 if Will Lee (hamstring) can't suit up, as Akayleb Evans (triceps) is set to miss at least three more contests while on IR.

Payne (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Payne sustained a foot injury during Friday's practice, and the injury is significant enough that the veteran defensive lineman could be placed on injured reserve, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Payne will undergo more tests Saturday to determine the severity of the injury, but his loss means Tim Settle, Shy Tuttle, Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle) and Deatrich Wise will all be asked to step into larger roles on the defensive line.

Melton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Melton put together three-straight limited practices while working through a knee injury that prevented him from playing against the Broncos in Week 7. Kalen King would be in line for more snaps in the secondary if Melton is not cleared by medical staff to play Sunday.

Williams (hamstring) is set to play Sunday against Arizona, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Williams was limited in practice during the first two days of Week 8 prep, but he upgraded to full participation Friday. Consequently, he wasn't given a designation for Sunday's matchup. Williams will be looking to sack the quarterback for a third straight game, and Arizona is tied for 16th in the league with 15 sacks allowed so far.

Wingard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Wingard has a chance to return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. His practice reps were limited during Week 8 prep, and if he's not cleared to play, then Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would likely start alongside Budda Baker at safety.

Wilson (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson's practice reps were limited due to a knee injury, but the veteran linebacker's full practice Friday was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's road game. The 2019 fifth-rounder has 47 tackles (20 solo), one pass defense and one forced fumble through seven regular-season games.

Winters (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Winters has not been cleared to practice since suffering a calf injury against the Packers in Week 6. He'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game, so Shemar James should once again start alongside DeMarvion Overshown at inside linebacker, with Jaishawn Barham providing depth. Winters' next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 8.
