Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Willis maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session as he tends to the right shoulder injury that he aggravated this past Saturday against the Ravens. Even if he's able to enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, he doesn't have a chance to start, as coach Matt LaFleur announced Thursday that Clayton Tune will get the Week 18 nod, while Jordan Love cleared concussion protocol.

Corum (ankle) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Corum made an early exit from Monday's loss in Atlanta due to an ankle injury that so far hasn't allowed him to mix into any drills in the meantime. He'll have one more chance to do so, or else he and fellow RB Kyren Williams (ankle, LP so far this week) may enter the weekend with designations for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Williams (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Both of the Rams' top two running backs are dealing with health concerns at the moment, but Williams at least has been able to log some on-field work, as opposed to Blake Corum (ankle), who was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Williams and/or Corum carry designations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Adams (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

This marks Adams' first on-field work since Week 15 prep as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. While his ability to practice is a notable sign in his recovery, he isn't expected to be available Sunday against the Cardinals, as coach Sean McVay told Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register on Wednesday. In the end, the Rams can make a ruling on his status for Week 18 on Friday's practice report.

Shaheed (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Shaheed was forced out in the first quarter of this past Sunday's win at Carolina due to a concussion, but he's made quick work through the protocol for head injuries in the meantime, following up Tuesday's limited walkthrough with back-to-back full sessions. Now the he's confirmed to be available for Week 18, he'll look to build upon the 14-186-0 line on 25 targets that he's managed in eight contests since he joined the Seahawks at the trade deadline.

Flournoy (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Flournoy was limited in practice Wednesday after having missed Week 17 due to a knee injury, but it appears he's ready to go for Dallas' season finale against the Giants on Sunday. Across 15 regular-season appearances, the second-year pro has secured 35 of 49 targets for 407 yards and four touchdowns. He's also logged four carries for 25 rushing yards.

The Cardinals placed Crawford (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Crawford was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams due to an ankle injury, and his placement on IR was a procedural move to open up a spot on the Cardinals' 53-man roster for Austin Keys, who was waived by the Vikings on Wednesday. Crawford -- who the Cardinals selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft -- finished his first NFL regular season with 20 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defense across 15 games (one start) while contributing on both special teams and in the secondary.

Kittle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kittle has been tending to a mid-to-low ankle sprain that sidelined him Week 17 against the Bears, but after logging back-to-back limited sessions to kick off Week 18 prep and then telling Vic Tafur of The Athletic on Wednesday that he "absolutely" expects to play this weekend, he appears to be trending in the right direction to suit up. Ultimately, Kittle's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Packers placed Castles on the practice squad/injured list Thursday.

Castles' spot on the practice squad has been filled by safety Mark Perry. A depth tight end, Castles initially joined Green Bay's practice squad in November, but he didn't suit up for a single regular-season game with the team.

Mostert (knee/ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Mostert's absence from Thursday's practice could be a maintenance day, given that the veteran running back was a full participant in Wednesday's session. His participation in Friday's practice will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs.
