Hooker is dealing with a foot injury and logged a limited practice Wedneday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Hooker logged all 62 of Dallas' defensive snaps in Thursday's season-opening loss to the Eagles and played well, notching nine tackles. However, he picked up an injury to his foot in the contest. Hooker's ability to participate in practice in a limited fashion Wednesday suggests he has a chance of suiting up Sunday against the Giants, though his status the remainder of the week should provide more clarity.

Young (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Young picked up a calf injury in practice last week, which prevented him from playing in the Saints' regular-season opener against the Cardinals this past Sunday. He'll have two more opportunities this week to return to practice and give himself a chance at making his 2025 regular-season debut against the 49ers in Week 2. Chris Rumph and practice squad linebacker Jonah Williams would be candidates to see increased snaps on defense if Young is unable to play.

Greenlaw (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Greenlaw remained sidelined at practice to open this week after failing to practice and play in Week 1 against the Titans due to a quadriceps injury. The linebacker will have two more chances to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts.

Moore (abdomen/groin) was listed as full on Wednesday's practice estimate, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Moore remained on the turf for multiple minutes after being hit by two Vikings defenders while trying to haul in a Caleb Williams pass in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss. He remained in the game, though, and finished with three catches (on five targets) for 68 yards, three carries for eight yards and a lost fumble while playing 84 percent (56 of 67) of the offensive snaps. Wednesday's injury report clarifies the health concerns that Moore is dealing with, but his lack of limitations indicate he'll likely gut through them in Sunday's contest at Detroit.

Howden (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Howden was not cleared to play in the Saints' Week 1 loss to the Cardinals due to an oblique injury. The additional rest has paid off, as the 2023 fifth-rounder practiced without limitations Wednesday and is on track to play against the 49ers on Sunday. Howden is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he logged 50 tackles (27 solo) and two interceptions in 17 regular-season games.

Jones (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Jones suffered an ankle injury in the team's 26-10 loss to the Jaguars in Week 1 and ultimately left the contest early. His ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a good sign, and he'll look to log a full practice prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Ward was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to shoulder and Achilles issues, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Ward has been dealing with the shoulder issue since mid-August, but the Achilles injury is a new concern. However, the veteran cornerback logged 96 percent of Cleveland's defensive snaps Week 1 versus Cincinnati and managed a limited practice session Wednesday, so he may be able to play through the issues. If he can't suit up Sunday against Baltimore, though, Cameron Mitchell may be pressed into a starting role.

Ricard (calf) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Ricard has been nursing a calf injury since mid-August and he has yet to return to practice. The fullback will likely need to practice in some capacity at one of the team's two remaining sessions this week in order to play in Sunday's contest versus Cleveland.

Arnold (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Arnold suffered a groin injury during the second half of Detroit's Week 1 loss to Green Bay and was unable to return. The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Arnold should suit up for the Lions' Week 2 NFC North clash against the Bears on Sunday.

Madubuike (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Madubuike popped up on the injury report with an ankle injury Wednesday, ultimately missing practice as a result. The defensive lineman will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Browns.
