Whittington (back) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The kickoff returner and wide receiver was limited during Wednesday's session. Whittington played through the injury last Sunday against the 49ers, logging seven offensive snaps and 14 special-teams snaps. In 2025, he has 12 catches for 121 yards, along with 109 kickoff-return yards.

Johnson (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

A back injury prevented Johnson from playing against the Seahawks in Week 10, and he's opened Week 11 prep with back-to-back DNPs. The rookie second-rounder would need to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity in order to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the 49ers.

Melton (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Melton has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he was spotted wearing a yellow non-contact jersey during Thursday's session, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Melton was unable to play in Week 10 while in the league's five-step concussion protocol, and he would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Sunday's NFC West tilt against the 49ers.

Jobe (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The cornerback was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Jobe is headed in the right direction ahead of Sunday's clash with the Rams, though it's unclear if he's out of concussion protocol yet. The fourth-year pro has played on at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps in every game he's finished in 2025.

Jones (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The inside linebacker was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Jones missed last Sunday's win over the Cardinals after suffering the injury the week before. His participation is a good sign, but his status is still worth monitoring as Sunday's showdown with the Rams approaches.

Weaver (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

An ankle injury prevented Weaver from playing against the Seahawks in Week 10, but his full practice participation Thursday puts him on track to play in Sunday's NFC West tilt against the 49ers. Weaver has appeared in just four regular-season games and has seen limited snaps on offense and special teams, but he could see more work as a wideout in Week 11 due to the absence of Marvin Harrison (appendix).

Steele (migraine) was not listed on Thursday's injury report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Steele was added to the Cowboys' injury report ahead of their Week 9 clash against the Cardinals due to a migraine, but he was cleared to start at right tackle and played 48 of 67 offensive snaps. His absence from Thursday's injury report indicates that he is past the issue and on track to play Monday against Las Vegas.

Smith (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Smith continues to have his practice reps limited and monitored due to a lingering knee issue from the offseason. He should be available to play against the Raiders on Monday barring a setback.

McConkey (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

McConkey and Quentin Johnston (shin) have both opened the week with back-to-back limited practices. McConkey's ability to participate in a limited capacity indicates that the issue isn't a long-term concern, but a full practice Friday would likely clear him from an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars. If McConkey is unable to play or operates on a snap count in Week 11, then Derius Davis and rookies Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith would all be poised for an increase in snaps on offense.

Johnston (shin) remained limited at practice Thursday.

The same applies to fellow wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle), with each player now having one more chance to practice fully ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Ultimately, Friday's final injury report will clarify whether Johnston and/or McConkey head into the weekend with Week 11 injury designations.
