Rankins (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Rankins played a healthy share of defensive snaps (41) in Week 15 versus the Cardinals, but it seems like he might have hurt his knee somewhere along the way. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up in Week 16 versus the Raiders.

Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Thursday night's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Young was a full participant in practice for the duration of the Seahawks' Week 16 prep. His lack of an injury designation indicates that he'll play in Thursday's NFC West tilt, but he'll have to be activated from injured reserve first. Young has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury that he sustained in Week 7 against the Texans.

Simon (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Simon left the team's 40-20 loss to the Texans in Week 15 in the first quarter due to a knee injury, but his ability to participate at practice in any capacity to open the week is a positive sign. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full session prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Thomas (calf) logged a full practice Wednesday.

Thomas was sidelined for the Raiders' Week 15 game against the Eagles. After logging a full session, he should be ready to return Sunday against the Texans. While Thomas has logged around a 50 percent offensive snap rate in his last few healthy games, he has not reached 40 receiving yards in a game this season and has surpassed 20 yards only once.

Lassiter (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Lassiter has played through the problem with his foot for the past few weeks, so it's likely Houston is just being cautious with its ascendent talent at cornerback. He'll get two more chances to practice before the Texans release their final practice report of the week Friday.

Bachman (thumb) practiced in full Wednesday.

Bachman has missed the last two games with the thumb injury, but his return to a full session suggests he's in line to return for a Week 16 matchup against the Texans. He'll contribute primarily on special teams.

Taylor-Demerson (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Taylor-Demerson has been sidelined for five straight contests with an ankle injury, but his ability to practice in any capacity is a step in the right direction ahead of Week 16. The safety will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with Atlanta.

Al-Shaair (ankle/knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Al-Shaair played 65 defensive snaps in Week 15 versus the Cardinals, and it's not immediately clear when he suffered any injury. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before Houston publishes its last practice report of the week Friday.

Melton (heel) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Melton has missed three straight games with a heel injury, and he's now been forced to sit out the team's first practice session of the week. Melton will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Falcons.

Phillips (heel) turned in a limited practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Phillips played his typical allotment of snaps in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, so it's unclear when the issue occurred. That he was able to turn in a limited session to begin the week suggests his status for the Giants' Week 16 matchup is not in jeopardy. However, Phillips' participation in practice throughout the rest of the week will be worth monitoring.
