Cardinals RB Andre Ellington able to practice in full Thursday

Cardinals RB Andre Ellington (knee) practiced in full Thursday, according to the team's official website.

The full practice marked his first since suffering a PCL sprain in the season opener and all but lays the groundwork for probable status upon the release of Friday's injury report. Assuming that occurs, he'll make his return Sunday in Detroit, though playing second fiddle to Chris Johnson is likely Ellington's destiny in his initial game action since Week 1.
