Beck (back) practiced in full Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Beck has been battling a back injury, though it hasn't prevented him from being the team's emergency QB3. While it appears the worst of the injury is behind the rookie signal-caller, that still likely won't improve his chances of getting on the field anytime soon, at least while Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew are healthy.

Stanley (toe) practiced in full Thursday.

Stanley has dealt with a toe injury much of the season, and he missed Week 3 due to the issue. He was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, but with a full session one day later, the veteran offensive tackle should be good to go for Sunday's Week 8 clash in Buffalo.

Goedeke (calf) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.

Goedeke has missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to nurse a calf injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 7 win over the Panthers. The 27-year-old appears to be on track to be unavailable for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, and if that's the case, Benjamin Chukwuma would likely stand to draw another start at right tackle.

Williams (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Williams was also labeled as limited for Wednesday's walkthrough, so the hamstring issue isn't entirely preventing him from practicing. Still, the veteran defender will likely get tagged with a designation for Sunday's matchup against Arizona if he's not able to upgrade to full participation Friday. Williams has been an important part of the Cowboys' pass rush of late, logging a sack in three of his past four games.

Jones (hamstring) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday.

Jones exited Sunday night's 20-3 win over Kansas City in the second half with a hamstring injury, and he appears to still be nursing the injury ahead of Week 8. The running back will have two more chances to return to practice before Monday night's contest against the Bears.

Thompson (quadriceps/hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

It was a second consecutive DNP for Thompson, who has been battling multiple injuries for weeks. The 23-year-old was cleared to play in Week 6 versus the Chiefs after missing the three previous games, though he didn't play. It appears Thompson may not be available for the Week 8 meeting with the Rams, especially if he doesn't practice Friday.

Lock (elbow) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday.

Lock remained limited at practice Thursday after logging three straight limited sessions before being ruled out for the team's Week 7 win over the Chiefs. The quarterback has been dealing with an elbow injury, and he will have two more chances to notch a full practice prior to Monday night's matchup with the Bears.

Thomas (ankle) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday.

Thomas was able to make his return to practice after failing to practice at all before missing a second straight game in Week 7 versus the Chiefs due to an ankle injury. The linebacker will have two more opportunities to log a full practice before potentially making his return to action Monday night versus Chicago.

Jackson (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Jackson suffered a hamstring strain in the Week 4 meeting with Seattle. As a result, he didn't play in Week 5 versus Denver and Week 6 against Kansas City while also missing practice during that span. With the Chargers coming off a bye, it appears Jackson is trending in a favorable direction regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams, though he likely has some more boxes to check before getting the green light.

Downs (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Downs was deemed limited Wednesday as well, though that was a walkthrough. With an actual limited practice under his belt Thursday, the rookie defender seems to have a decent chance of playing Sunday against Arizona. Downs has taken on a near every-down role as a rookie, playing every defensive snap in five of his seven games so far.
