Wilson (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday

One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a foot injury, Wilson logged every on-field rep, paving the way for him to be available Sunday against the Packers. The same can't be said for fellow WRs Marvin Harrison (concussion, limited) and Zay Jones (knee, DNP), who maintained their activity levels into Thursday. Wilson thus is the healthiest among the Cardinals' top three at the position, but there's also the question of who will be under center Week 7, as Kyler Murray remained limited due to a mid-foot sprain. Jacoby Brissett will earn another spot start this weekend if Murray is out.

Bowers (knee) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Bowers also missed Wednesday's session, and another DNP a day later has the tight end trending toward missing a third straight game Sunday against the Chiefs. If Bowers remains sidelined this weekend, fellow TE Michael Mayer, who had five catches (on seven targets) for 50 yards and a TD in a Week 6 win over the Titans, once again would be in store for added opportunities in the Raiders offense.

Hainsey (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Hainsey was unable to play in Week 6 against the Seahawks due to a hamstring injury. His ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is on track to play against the Rams on Sunday, and he'll likely reclaim his starting spot at center while Jonah Monheim reverts to a reserve role.

McManus (right quadriceps) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.

McManus already has missed one game due to the right quad that he pulled in practice last Wednesday, but coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today on Thursday that he's "day-to-day" and may "potentially" be able to kick on game day without practicing. McManus has one more chance to do so this week before Friday's injury report could include a ruling on his status for Sunday's contest in Arizona. Lucas Havrisik is available in the event McManus isn't able to go this weekend.

Wicks (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Wicks has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions since sustaining an ankle injury during Green Bay's win over the Bengals in Week 6. In order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals, Wicks will likely need to upgrade to full practice reps Friday. Malik Heath and Savion Williams will benefit from added opportunities behind Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden if Wicks misses any time.

The Bengals activated Patrick (calf) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the Steelers.

Patrick was officially listed as questionable for Thursday's AFC North clash, but his activation from IR indicates that he is trending toward making his return, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Patrick would likely reclaim his starting job at right guard if he is cleared to play, which would revert Dalton Risner to a reserve role.

Watson (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Watson has been limited in practice the past two weeks, but the ever elusive full session has yet to occur as he puts the finishing touches on his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee Week 18 of last season. Coach Matt LaFleur said, "We'll see," when asked if Watson is set to return Sunday at Arizona, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. If Watson isn't ruled out on Friday's injury report, the Packers will have until Saturday afternoon to activate him from the reserve/PUP list, which would give him a chance to play this weekend.

Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Decker has been sidelined for the Lions' last two games due to a shoulder injury. His ability to practice in a limited capacity Thursday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and his practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the Buccaneers on Monday.

Cunningham (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Cunningham missed the Lions' last three games due to a hamstring injury. His ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is past the issue and on track to play against the Buccaneers on Monday. The veteran linebacker mostly served on special teams prior to his injury and has six tackles (four solo) through three regular-season games.

Harrison (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Harrison emerged from this past Sunday's defeat at Indianapolis with a concussion, and he so far has managed back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 7 prep. He even was spotted hauling in passes from QB Jacoby Brissett while donning a yellow non-contact jersey Thursday, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. An independent neurologist will need to clear Harrison in order for the second-year pro to suit up Sunday against the Packers, but he at least appears to be making progress through the protocol for head injuries.
