Carter (hip) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Carter popped up on the injury report with an apparent hip issue Thursday, and he was forced to sit out practice as a result. The defensive lineman will have one more chance to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.

Awosika (illness) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Awosika would be a candidate to start at left guard if Christian Mahogany (illness) is unable to play Sunday against the Bears. Awosika has appeared in 13 games this season, making four starts.

Ruiz (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Ruiz is on track to return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. He should reclaim his starting job at right guard from William Sherman for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons.

Mahogany (illness) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Battling through a sickness, Mahogany looks to have a better chance of suiting up for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears. The second-year lineman has made just 10 starts this season due to various injuries.

Harper (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Harper was able to make his return to practice for the first time since suffering a concussion Christmas Day against the Vikings. The safety will still have to clear concussion protocol in order to play Sunday against the Bears, but his participation Thursday was a step in the right direction.

Anzalone (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Anzalone was listed as DNP on Wednesday, so his limited session is an upgrade after the veteran linebacker was concussed on Christmas Day against the Vikings. If Anzalone isn't cleared for Sunday's game against the Bears, Malcolm Rodriguez would likely draw the start.

Maddox (back/illness) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Maddox was able to increase his participation to full Thursday after opening the week as a limited participant at practice Wednesday. The 29-year-old will likely return to his starting role at strong safety against the Bears on Sunday.

Williams (foot/illness) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Williams took a step backwards Thursday after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday. The wide receiver was unavailable for the team's Week 17 loss to the Ravens, and he's now potentially trending towards another absence Sunday against the Vikings. Williams will have one more chance to practice Friday and ultimately suit up for the Packers' regular-season finale.

Wicks (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.

Wicks thus hasn't practiced in any capacity since he suffered a concussion this past Saturday versus the Ravens. Considering he appears to have multiple hurdles to surpass in order to gain clearance from the protocol for head injuries, he may be in danger of missing his third game of the season Sunday at Minnesota.

Cashman (elbow) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Cashman was able to log a full session after opening the week as a limited participant at practice Wednesday with an elbow issue. The linebacker is now set to try and build off of his 17-tackle performance from Week 17 against the Lions when the Vikings square off with the Packers on Sunday.
