Wilson (calf) was not listed on Thursday's injury report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Prior to being traded from Cincinnati to Dallas at the deadline, Wilson was inactive for the Bengals' Week 9 matchup with the Bears due to a calf injury. Now a member of the Cowboys and coming off a bye week, Wilson appears healthy and ready to slot in as the starting weak-side linebacker for Monday's matchup with the Raiders.

Dorlus (oblique) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.

Dorlus' participation level was an upgrade after he failed to practice Wednesday. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, as the 24-year-old has logged sacks in back-to-back games and showed no sign of injury in Week 10. Dorlus' participation in practice Friday will be worth noting in terms of his availability for Sunday's game versus the Panthers. Should Dorlus not be able to play, Ruke Orhorhoro could see increased playing time as the next man up at defensive tackle.

Wilson (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Wilson did not play in the Cowboys Week 8 loss to the Broncos nor the Week 9 loss to the Cardinals due to an elbow injury he sustained against the Commanders in Week 7. After resting up during the Cowboys' bye, the starting strong safety returned for Thursday's practice in a limited capacity and looks to be trending up. If the 30-year-old veteran can string together two more practices Friday and Saturday, he has a chance to suit up for his first game since Week 7.

Lockett (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

In last Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos, Lockett recorded a 57 percent snap share en route to catching five of his six targets for a team-high 44 yards. Following a limited listing in the Raiders' first practice ahead of Monday night's game against the Cowboys, the wideout's status is worth monitoring, with Lockett now having two more chances to upgrade to full practice participation ahead of Week 11 action.

Smith (quadriceps) isn't listed on the Raiders' Week 11 injury report.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Smith suffered a thigh bruise last Thursday against the Broncos, but the issue was downplayed afterward by coach Pete Carroll. With Smith not listed on this Thursday's injury report, the QB will be good to go Monday night against the 3-5-1 Cowboys, who have dropped two straight contests, most recently a 27-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 9 in which Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns, while logging five carries for four yards and a rushing score.

Agnew (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.

Agnew upgraded to limited participation Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. With another limited or full practice Friday, the 30-year-old will have a good chance to play against the Panthers on Sunday. If he is available, Agnew's main contributions should come on special teams as a returner.

Enagbare (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Enagbare popped up on Wednesday's estimated practice report with a knee injury he potentially suffered in Monday's loss to the Eagles. The rotational defensive end has seen increased reps due to the injury to Lukas Van Ness (foot). In a worst-case scenario where neither Enagbare or Van Ness can suit up Sunday, Arron Mosby and/or Barryn Sorrell will likely see rotational snaps at defensive end.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said on the 49ers Game Plan on Thursday that Purdy (toe) is slated to start Sunday's game at Arizona, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, Shanahan has hinted at this possibility this week but added that the 49ers "want three aggressive practices, and we want to hear from him and make sure he feels good after them, too." Purdy remained limited at Wednesday's practice, but after Thursday's session, offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak told Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News that the fourth-year pro has done more this week than in previous weeks and looks more confident in his movements after contending with a turf toe injury for much of the campaign. Shanahan likely will make the announcement of Purdy returning to the starting lineup for the first time since Week 4 public at some point before week's end.

Van Ness (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Van Ness logged his first practice in any capacity since he left the Packers' Week 6 win against the Bengals with a foot injury. The upgrade to limited participation signals a significant development in the defensive end's recovery, and if he is able to string some practices together, he may have a chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Giants. A return to action for Van Ness would lead to a diminishing number of reps for rotational defensive end Kingsley Enagbare (knee).

The Falcons elevated Kareem to the active roster Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports.

Kareem spent the majority of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad, appearing in two games where he recorded four total tackles (two solo). This is the 27-year-old's first time being elevated this season, and he'll provide additional depth at linebacker following DeAngelo Malone's placement on injured reserve.
