Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Walker was injured in the second quarter of last Sunday's win over the Chargers and will now miss Week 12 versus Arizona. With Walker out, Dawuane Smoot, Danny Striggow, Emmanuel Ogbah and B.J. Green should be in line for additional defensive snaps.

Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Williams was limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury, and his status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Williams and Will Johnson (back/hip) are both listed as questionable, and if one or both were to be sidelined, the Cardinals would turn to Kei'Trel Clark and Denzel Burke to take on more responsibility in the secondary.

Thomas (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Thomas was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but logged a full practice Friday and should be ready to roll for Week 12. The veteran defensive lineman has appeared in nine games this season, producing 19 tackles (eight solo) and one pass breakup on 45 percent of the defensive snaps.

Robinson (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

A groin injury limited Robinson's practice participation all week, but he was able to play through the issue during the Cardinals' Week 11 loss to the 49ers, so he's leaning more toward the probable side of playing Sunday. The second-year defensive end has accumulated 17 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, across eight regular-season games.

Johnson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Johnson ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, giving him a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a back injury. The rookie second-rounder's return would likely mean that fellow first-year corner Denzel Burke would revert to a rotational role in the secondary, though the latter could still see an increased snap count on defense if Garrett Williams (ankle) is unable to play in Week 12. Prior to his injury, Johnson posted 19 tackles (14 solo), six pass defenses and one forced fumble across six regular-season games.

Hooker (toe/personal) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Hooker ended up getting in a full practice Friday after logging a DNP on Thursday. After returning to the lineup from injured reserve last Monday night, Hooker should be ready to roll against Philly after playing 73 percent of the defensive snaps against Las Vegas.

Clowney (shoulder/neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Clowney was limited in practice all week after playing 28 defensive snaps last Monday night against the Raiders. The 32-year-old edge rusher has produced 19 tackles (eight solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery across seven appearances this season.

Branch (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Branch missed some practice time this week but should be all systems go against New York. Branch has produced 52 tackles (35 solo), including 2.5 sacks, five pass breakups and one forced fumble across nine games, all starts, this season.

TeSlaa (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

TeSlaa was limited in all three practices this week as he continues to work through an oblique injury. The issue first popped up last weekend, and TeSlaa was still able to play Sunday versus Philadelphia, so there's reason to be optimistic that he'll suit up. Even if TeSlaa does play, he probably won't be heavily involved, as the rookie has seen more than one target just once through 10 games this season.

Vaki (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Vaki has played just one offensive snap all season, while he's logged 62 on special teams across four games. Vaki carries minimal fantasy value while Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are healthy.
