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

Simon had to miss the team's Week 2 game after suffering the concussion in Week 1. Simon returned to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday before upgrading to full participation Thursday. The rookie logged 10 special-teams snaps in Week 1, making one solo tackle.

Nelson (calf) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Nelson is all set to return to action in Week 3 after missing the team's first two games of the year with a calf injury. The 23-year-old will operate as a reserve option behind Jake Matthews and Elijah Wilkinson at offensive tackle against the Panthers on Sunday.

Brown (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Brown has logged a pair of full practices to open the week after missing the team's first two games of the 2025 season with an ankle injury. The 26-year-old could draw a start at cornerback against Houston on Sunday with Jarrian Jones (back) banged up ahead of Week 3.

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

The cornerback was limited during Wednesday's session. Jobe logged 57 defensive snaps in each of Seattle's first two contests, and he looks likely to play a big role yet again this Sunday versus the Saints. The fourth-year pro has six tackles (four solo) and two pass breakups, including an interception, on the year so far.

Watkins (calf) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Watkins popped up on the injury report Thursday with an apparent calf issue, and his status for Week 3 is now uncertain. The wide receiver will look to log a full practice Friday and play Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Horton (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Horton has kicked off Week 3 prep with a pair of capped sessions, leaving him just one more chance to get back to full Friday, or else risk entering the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. Through two pro contests, he's been modestly involved in the Seahawks' passing game, recording two catches (on five targets) for 32 yards and one touchdown.

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

The inside linebacker was a limited participant a day earlier. Jones is still dealing with a shoulder issue that he likely picked up in Week 1 against the 49ers, but he played through the injury last week and appears on track to do so again. The former Ram and Titan has yet to miss a defensive snap this season, recording 18 tackles (11 solo) and two pass breakups, including an interception.

Juszczyk (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Juszczyk was unable to practice to open the week Wednesday, so his return to action Thursday is a step in the right direction. The fullback remains in concussion protocol, and he'll likely have to log a full practice Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals.

Hufanga (chest) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

The safety surfaced on the injury report Wednesday with the chest issue, as he was only able to practice on a limited basis. Hufanga's status will still be worth monitoring Friday, but he appears on track to play in Week 3 against the Chargers. The offseason signing has played on nearly every defensive snap through two contests, recording 21 tackles (nine solo) and a forced fumble.

McKee (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

McKee was limited for the second day in a row as he continues to recover from a fractured right thumb. If McKee can't go in Week 3, Sam Howell would operate as the top backup option behind Jalen Hurts at quarterback against the Rams.
