Howard (concussion) didn't participate in Cleveland's practice Wednesday.

Howard is in the league's concussion protocol after exiting Sunday's win over the Titans due to a concussion. Dawand Jones is in line to start at right tackle if Howard is unable to clear the concussion protocol before Sunday's matchup versus the Steelers.

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

Williams is dealing with a hamstring injury he likely sustained in the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Eagles on Monday. The defensive lineman will likely need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's practice to avoid any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

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

Downs likely suffered his ankle injury in the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Eagles on Monday. The defensive back's ability to practice, even in a limited capacity, just two days after sustaining the injury means he will likely be capable of suiting up for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Wingard (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wingard has been sidelined for the Cardinals' past three games due to a bone bruise in his knee he sustained back in Week 4 against the Giants, and now his availability for Week 8 is in question. If he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, there's a good chance he'll suit up Sunday at Dallas.

Carter (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Wednesday was the first time Carter practiced since sustaining an abdominal injury in Week 5 against the Jaguars. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice, which would likely be enough for him to be cleared to return from a two-game absence and play in Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Wilson (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wilson's absence Wednesday was marked not injury related, but there does seem to be a knee issue. His activity at practice Thursday and Friday should offer more insight into whether he's truly in danger of sitting out in Week 8.

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

Winters remains sidelined with a calf injury he sustained in the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Packers. If the inside linebacker cannot upgrade to at least a limited participant by Friday's practice, he will likely be ruled out ahead of the Week 8 showdown with the Cardinals.

Campbell (hamstring/quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Campbell likely picked up the injuries during the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday, when he logged two assisted tackles while playing 41 snaps (37 on defense, four on special teams). He has two more chances to return to practice this week, although he could be tagged with an injury designation for Sunday's NFC East tilt against the Commanders depending on his participation levels.

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

Turpin continues to miss practice with a rib injury he picked up in the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Packers. If the team's main returner continues to miss sessions, Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo should continue to return kicks in Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Mims (ankle) was a limited participant in Denver's practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Mims popped up on Wednesday's injury report with an ankle injury, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's matchup versus the Chiefs. If he ends up being unable to play, Lil'Jordan Humphrey could see increased playing time at receiver, while Kris Abrams-Draine would likely handle punt return duties.
