Isaiah Adams G | ARI
Cardinals' Isaiah Adams: Full practice Wednesday
Adams (back) was a full participant at the Cardinals' practice Wednesday.
Adams suffered a back injury in Week 10 against the Jets, but he now appears to be feeling better ahead of Sunday's contest with the Seahawks. The 24-year-old will be back in his role as a top reserve option behind Evan Brown and Trystan Colon at offensive guard.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Tending to shoulder issue
Demercado was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Demercado took a back seat to rookie third-round pick Trey Benson in the two games before the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, earning 21 snaps and nine touches versus 32 and 21, respectively, for the latter. Benson also averaged 5.5 yards per carry, while Demercado averaged 4.7 YPC outside of his 53-yard TD run Week 9. With a health concern now in tow, Demercado may fall even further behind in the RB pecking order to starter James Conner and Benson.

Edgerrin Cooper LB | GB
Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Dealing with hamstring issue
Cooper (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
The 2024 second-round pick from Texas A&M appears to have picked up a hamstring injury in the Packers' Week 11 win over the Bears, despite playing 49 defensive snaps and recording eight total tackles. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Week 12, when the Packers host the 49ers.

Evan Williams SAF | GB
Packers' Evan Williams: Begins week as limited
Williams (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Williams played through his hamstring issue in the Packers' Week 11 win over the Bears, recording six total tackles across 67 defensive snaps. This suggests that Wednesday's limited session is most likely precautionary, however, the rookie safety could be in jeopardy of missing the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers if he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.

Nick Bosa DE | SF
49ers' Nick Bosa: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Bosa (hip) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bosa injured his left hip while sacking Geno Smith during the third quarter of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks and was unable to return to the contest. Bosa would be in danger of missing his first game of the 2024 regular season if he's unable to participate in practice, at least in a limited capacity, over the next two days. If Bosa is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, either Robert Beal or Yetur Gross-Matos would start at defensive end opposite Leonard Floyd.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Dealing with dual health concerns
Jacobs was limited in practice Wednesday due to quadricep and calf injuries, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Jacobs operated with a cap on his practice reps last week due to a quad issue, but it didn't stop him from avoiding a designation ahead of this past Sunday's game at Chicago. Overall, he handled 22 touches in the 20-19 win and turned them into 134 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. Jacobs now has another health concern to deal with, though, so his listing on injury reports Thursday and Friday should be telling for his odds to continue operating as the Packers' No. 1 RB on Sunday against the 49ers.

Jacob Cowing WR | SF
49ers' Jacob Cowing: Limited to open week
Cowing (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Cowing was diagnosed with a concussion during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks after taking a hit to the head during a punt return. He'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to suit up against the Packers on Sunday.

Nakobe Dean LB | PHI
Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Still working through groin injury
Dean (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report.
Dean played through a groin injury during the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Commanders, during which he tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed. The 2022 third-round pick will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Brandon Jones SAF | DEN
Broncos' Brandon Jones: Opens week with limited work
Jones (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Jones practiced in a limited fashion all throughout last week before missing the Broncos' Week 11 win over the Falcons due to an abdomen issue. The 26-year-old's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can return for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Raiders in Week 12.

Britain Covey WR | PHI
Eagles' Britain Covey: Logs full practice in return
Covey (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
The Eagles designated Covey to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he opened the week strong as a full participant for Philadelphia's first official practice. If he's able practice without limitations over the next two days, Covey could be activated off IR and be available for Sunday's game against the Rams. Over the first three games of the regular season, he logged seven catches on as many targets for 34 yards.
