Phillips (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The linebacker was limited during Wednesday's session. Phillips looks very much on track to play Sunday against the Cowboys. In two games with the Eagles since being traded by the Dolphins, the fifth-year pro has recorded 11 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery.

Glasgow (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Glasgow was officially limited at the team's first practice of the week after Detroit held a walkthrough Wednesday. The offensive lineman is dealing with a knee injury, and he will have one more chance to log a full practice Friday before the team squares off with the Giants in Week 12.

Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Decker was considered a non-participant for the team's walkthrough Wednesday, but he was able to make his return to the practice field Thursday. The offensive tackle has been nursing a shoulder injury all season, so he seems likely to play Sunday against the Giants.

Walker (neck) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Walker suffered a stinger Sunday against the Giants and has now been held out of practice two straight days to begin the week. He'll likely need to participate in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up Sunday against Minnesota. If Walker is ruled out, Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper could both see more than their usual allotment of defensive snaps.

Johnson (back) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The cornerback managed to return to the field after missing Wednesday's session and the last two games. Johnson now appears to have a chance to suit up in Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He's played on at least 60 percent of the defensive snaps in all six games he's played in this season.

Sewell (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Sewell was considered limited at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, and he has now officially logged a limited session one day later. The offensive lineman is dealing with an ankle issue that has plagued him for a couple weeks. Sewell was able to play through the injury in the team's Week 11 loss to the Eagles, and his participation at practice Friday will provide more clarity as to his status for Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

Dorsey (wrist) had his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Benjamin Raven of mlive.com reports.

Dorsey hurt his wrist Week 4 against Cleveland and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a full session during his first day back at practice. That gives Dorsey a chance of returning for Sunday's game against the Giants, though he'd need to first be activated by the Lions.

Fries (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Fries was considered a non-participant at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, so his participation was a step in the right direction Thursday. The offensive lineman was able to play through a calf injury in Week 11 against the Bears, and he'll have one more chance to leave behind the new knee injury by practicing in full Friday before Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

Darrisaw (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Darrisaw sat out practice after being a full participant Wednesday, likely just receiving a day off to rest his knee. The offensive tackle will have another chance to log a full session Friday before the team squares off with Green Bay on Sunday.

Edwards (hand) sat out of practice Thursday.

The middle linebacker also had to miss Wednesday's session after sitting out the last two games following surgery to repair his broken hand. Edwards looks unlikely to suit up Sunday against the Steelers, though he'll have another chance to practice Friday.
