Harrison (heel) isn't practicing Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Harrison thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills this week, or else he'll be at risk of missing a second game in a row due to a heel injury. If he sits out again Sunday at Houston, it'll mark his fourth absence in the past five games after he sat out Weeks 11-12 following an appendectomy. Fellow WR Michael Wilson prospered during Harrison's three recent absences, totaling a 36-445-2 line on 49 targets in those contests. Andre Baccellia is the only other healthy wide receiver on Arizona's active roster.

Chubb (ribs) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Chubb has missed Houston's first two Week 15 practices after exiting the team's Week 14 win over Kansas City due to a rib injury. Woody Marks (knee) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday and will likely continue to work as the lead back Sunday against Arizona, while Dare Ogunbowale could move up to the change-of-pace role usually occupied by Chubb if the veteran running back is ultimately sidelined Sunday. Chubb will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out on Friday's injury report.

Marks (knee) participated in practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Marks logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, but the running back's presence at practice a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, fellow RB Nick Chubb (ribs) remained sidelined Thursday, with the Texans' upcoming injury report set to reveal Marks' official participation level.

Fields (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The same applies to Tyrod Taylor (groin), leaving Brady Cook and practice-squad member Adrian Martinez to handle the Jets' QB reps in Thursday's session. Friday's practice thus looms large in terms of the team's Week 15 signal-caller plans, but at this stage looming back-to-back 'DNPs' cloud the statuses of both Fields and Taylor.

Taylor (groin) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Neither was Justin Fields (knee), so both Taylor and Fields have opened Week 15 prep with consecutive DNPs. Brady Cook has been handling first-team reps in practice, and the undrafted rookie out of Missouri looks like the favorite to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Taylor or Fields could reenter the starting mix by practicing in any capacity Friday.

Hall (knee) is taking part in positional drills Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall sat out practice Wednesday due to knee soreness, but he has returned to practice Thursday, though it remains to be seen if he's listed as a full participant or limited participant. He has yet to miss a game in the 2025 regular season, and Hall is tracking toward his first 1,000-yard rushing campaign, as he needs 123 yards to reach that milestone with four games to play, starting with Sunday's matchup at Jacksonville.

Tillman (concussion/ribs) is not in line to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Tillman is missing a second consecutive practice while nursing a pair of injury sustained during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14. He'll have one more chance to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago, but at this stage Tillman appears to be trending in the wrong direction. He'll need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol before returning to the Browns' starting lineup.

Njoku (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku also managed a knee injury ahead of Week 14 action, but now that the tight end is set to log back-to-back 'DNPs' this time around, what he does (if anything) at practice Friday will loom large in terms of his status for Sunday's game against the Bears. If Njoku is out or limited this weekend, Blake Whiteheart would be in line to see added TE snaps behind Harold Fannin.

Sampson (calf/hand) is not in line to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Sampson will miss back-to-back practices to begin Week 15, making his availability for Sunday's road matchup against the Bears look legitimately uncertain. Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams will be candidates to handle increased complementary roles behind starting running back Quinshon Judkins if Sampson is unable to play Sunday.

The Steelers announced that Watt won't practice Thursday to undergo further evaluation on his lung after he was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital upon experiencing discomfort Wednesday at the team's facility.

According to a statement from the team, Watt's "status for Monday night's game versus Miami is in question," and head coach Mike Tomlin "will provide more updates at the appropriate time." If the star edge rusher isn't available to play Week 15, Nick Herbig would likely step into a starting role at outside linebacker opposite Alex Highsmith.
