Jihaad Campbell LB | PHI
Eagles' Jihaad Campbell: Back at full practice
Campbell (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Lane Johnson OT | PHI
Eagles' Lane Johnson: Doesn't practice Thursday
Johnson (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Johnson has been held out of action since Week 11 due to a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot. The Eagles locked up the NFC East division title, so even if Johnson were cleared to play, he and other prominent starters will likely be rested for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders.

Jalen Carter DT | PHI
Eagles' Jalen Carter: Misses practice Thursday
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.

Kayode Awosika OT | LAC
Lions' Kayode Awosika: Limited Thursday
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.

Cesar Ruiz C | NO
Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Logs full practice Thursday
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.

Christian Mahogany G | DET
Lions' Christian Mahogany: Upgrades to limited Thursday
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.
-
Thomas Harper SAF | DET
Lions' Thomas Harper: Back at practice Thursday
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.
-
Alex Anzalone MLB | TB
Lions' Alex Anzalone: Upgrades to limited
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.

Avonte Maddox FS | DET
Lions' Avonte Maddox: Full practice Thursday
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.
