Wirfs (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Wirfs had his practice reps limited Wednesday while tending to a lingering shoulder injury, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he'll be available to start at left tackle against the Cardinals on Sunday.

McManus made all four point-after tries as well as his sole field goal attempt during the Packers' 31-24 win over the Lions on Thursday.

McManus converted his one field-goal opportunity from 45 yards out and was automatic on PATs following the Packers' four touchdown drives. With Thursday's production, McManus moved to 15-for-21 on field-goal attempts and 22-for-23 on extra-point tries over nine regular-season games.

Taylor (elbow) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Taylor sustained the injury during the first half of Thursday's game, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Jaylon Moore has taken over at right tackle in Taylor's absence.

The 49ers listed Bethune (ankle) as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Bethune is working through a right high-ankle sprain, which forced him to be sidelined for the 49ers' Week 12 win over the Panthers. He would give himself a chance to play against the Browns on Sunday with a return to practice Friday, but if he's ruled out for Week 13, then Curtis Robinson would likely start at linebacker for a second straight week.

Pineiro (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pineiro continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss the 49ers' Week 12 win against the Panthers. Friday's practice report will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Browns, but if Pineiro is not cleared to play, then Matt Gay would likely be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a second consecutive week.

Graham (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation for Friday's matchup with the Bears.

After failing to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Graham was able to fully take part Wednesday and dodge injury designation for Friday's contest. The linebacker's presence provides great depth to an already strong Eagles linebacker room heading into the afternoon clash.

Redmond (hip) was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Redmond wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, so it's unclear whether the hip injury is something he sustained during practice or the Vikings' Week 12 loss to the Packers. Regardless, Friday's practice report will shed more light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Seahawks. If Redmond is not cleared to play, then Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Levi Drake Rodriguez would be in line for more snaps on the Vikings' defensive line.

Blankenship is clear of an injury designation ahead of Friday's matchup against the Bears.

Blankenship sustained a thigh injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys, but two limited practices earlier in the week, capped off with a full practice Thursday, were enough to stave off an injury designation heading into Friday's game. The starting safety's health will be key to the Eagles' success in Friday afternoon's clash with the Bears.

Okada (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Okada's return to practice Thursday comes as a bit of a surprise, given that head coach Mike Macdonald relayed Monday that the third-year safety was a candidate for injured reserve due to an oblique injury. Nevertheless, Okada's ability to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is an encouraging sign that the injury is not as severe as once thought. Friday's practice report should shed more light on Okada's chances of playing Sunday against Minnesota.

Nwosu (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Nwosu was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but his ability to return for Thursday's session is an encouraging sign. The 2018 second-rounder will have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice participation and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Vikings.
