Shaheed (knee) didn't participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Shaheed has now missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to work his way back from the knee injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 8 loss to Chicago. The wide receiver's chances to play Sunday versus Arizona seem thin, so Tory Horton could serve as the team's No. 3 option at wide receiver again in Week 9.

Njoku (fibula) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Njoku had his 21-day practice window opener Wednesday, and he's logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to begin Week 9 work. He's been on the shelf since going down with the lower leg injury in Week 2.

Knight (concussion) officially didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Since exiting Week 8 action with a concussion, Knight hasn't been able to log any practice reps, which generally isn't a good sign that he'll be available Sunday at Seattle. Arizona may make a ruling on Knight's status once it posts Friday's injury report, and if he's indeed sidelined for that contest, Tyler Allgeier stands to serve as the team's workhorse running back this weekend, with Evan Hull likely backing him up.

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

Elliott was limited for a second consecutive practice. There should be more clarity on his status Friday for the Eagles' Week 9 meeting with the Giants. However, if Elliott is ruled out ahead of that one, the Eagles will presumably hit the open market for a replacement.

Haener was waived by the Giants on Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Haener has served as the Giants' No. 3 quarterback behind Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy since he was signed to the active roster in early October, but he will now be placed on waivers. If Haener goes unclaimed, there's a good chance he will remain with New York as a member of the team's practice squad.

Wilson (rest/ribs) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wilson continues to don a yellow non-contact jersey on the practice field as he deals with two broken ribs, so his activity level comes as no surprise. Friday's injury report will determine if Wilson enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, but he's already demonstrated an ability to play through the issue, notching a 79 percent snap share, reeling in eight of 15 targets for 111 yards and one touchdown and recording a 17-yard carry in this past Sunday's win in Dallas.

Lock (right elbow) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lock is poised to fill in for Sam Darnold (quadriceps/ribs) this Sunday against the Cardinals, but the former still has some work to do to avoid a designation for that contest after a second straight capped session to begin Week 9 prep. Friday's injury report will reveal if Lock's right elbow issue is behind him, though he appears close to being healthy, as he told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Thursday that it's "doing a lot better... (It) felt great to get under center, rip some balls yesterday."

Wiggins (illness) is inactive for Thursday's game versus the Jaguars.

Wiggins is under the weather and initially carried a questionable tag ahead of this contest. However, he won't be out there Thursday, meaning Chidobe Awuzie will presumably take on more work.

Thornton (back) was a limited participant at the Raiders' practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of the team's official site reports.

Thornton was added to the injury report with an apparent back injury after opening the week as a full participant Wednesday. The fact that the wide receiver was able to practice in any capacity is a positive sign, but he will have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Slovis (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against Jacksonville but will serve as the team's emergency quarterback.

Austin Reed moved up to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart ahead of the Week 9 meeting with the Jaguars. While Slovis is inactive, he will be available if Reed and starter Joe Fagnano exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
