Cashman (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Cashman is still officially on Minnesota's injured reserve list, but his status Wednesday suggests he may have an opportunity to return to the field in Week 7. Until he's officially activated though, Ivan Pace figures to continue to get first-team reps at linebacker next to veteran Eric Wilson.

Henley was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.

Henley has played every defensive snap this season, including in the Chargers' Week 6 win over Miami. There's no indication he's in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against the Colts, though his practice participation in the next two days should provide further insight.

Carson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Carson was a full participant in practice leading up to the Cowboys' Week 6 road clash against the Panthers, but the 2024 fifth-rounder was ultimately not cleared to be reinstated from injured reserve. However, Carson would stand a good chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Commanders on Sunday with a slate of full practices this week. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a knee injury that he sustained during training camp in late July.

Bowman (hamstring) was estimated as a nonparticipant in practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bowman was unable to suit up on Monday Night Football versus Buffalo due to a hamstring injury. The Falcons held a walkthrough Wednesday, so his status as a nonparticipant is an estimate. Bowman will have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Sunday's Week 7 matchup in San Francisco. If Bowman can't suit up for that game, Dee Alford could absorb most of his defensive snaps.

Kneeland (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Kneeland aggravated an ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Panthers, and he finished that contest with three tackles (two solo) while playing just 20 snaps on defense. The 2024 second-rounder was able to log a limited practice Wednesday and would likely be cleared to play against Washington on Sunday with a full practice over the next two days. Kneeland has 11 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, through five regular-season games in 2025.

Molden (thumb) did not practice Wednesday.

Molden exited Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a hand injury but was able to return. His absence from practice is presumably related, leaving his status for Week 7 against the Colts unclear at this point.

Matlock (personal) practiced in full Wednesday.

Matlock didn't play this past Sunday against Miami due to a personal matter. However, his presence in practice Wednesday suggests he'll be able to return to action in Week 7 versus Indianapolis. Matlock has typically logged around 20-to-30 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps as the team's lone fullback.

Dye (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Dye logged a fairly typical 68 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Miami, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. The severity of the issue is unclear, but his participation in practice the rest of the week should make his status for Week 7 against the Colts clearer.

Wilson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Wilson played 63 defensive snaps and recorded his second interception of the season during the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Panthers, but he looks to have picked up an elbow injury in the process. He would likely avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Commanders with a full practice over the next two days.

Mingo (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Mingo's practice participation has been inconsistent since the Cowboys designated the 2023 second-rounder to return from injured reserve Oct. 1. He's opened the week with a limited session Wednesday, but he would give himself a better chance at being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders were he to practice in full over the next two days.
