FRIDAY REPORT
Jonathan Gannon began the week by ruling out wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and running back Emari Demercado. The practice week ended with the news that outside linebacker Baron Browning (concussion), running back Trey Benson (knee), and safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would join that list.
Browning has been in concussion protocol since early last week and missed the 49ers matchup.
There was optimism that Benson might make his return off Injured Reserve this weekend, however Gannon said prior to Friday's practice that they are taking it "one day at a time" with the second-year running back. Since Bam Knight (ankle) did not receive a game designation, he'll likely see an increased role against the Jaguars.
Taylor-Demerson has been nursing an ankle injury, but on Friday, he was working off to the side with athletic trainers. Quarterback Kyler Murray was working with trainers as well.
One of the most encouraging news of the practice week was the return of right tackle Kelvin Beachum. After missing the first two practices with a groin injury, Beachum was limited on Friday and is questionable to play. Also questionable to play is right guard Will Hernandez (knee), cornerback Will Johnson (back/hip), defensive lineman Darius Robinson (groin), cornerback Garrett Williams (ankle), and offensive lineman Hayden Conner (knee).
Conner, the Cardinals sixth-round pick, logged his first full week of practice since his 21-day window was opened up last week. If the Cardinals opt to activate Conner to the active roster, it'll need to be completed by Saturday afternoon.
The Jaguars ruled out five players including wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and defensive end Travon Walker (knee)
THURSDAY REPORT
A pair of players returned to practice on Thursday.
Cornerback Will Johnson, who had missed the last two games with a back/hip injury, was a limited participant. The other returner was right guard Will Hernandez (knee).
Johnson posted on social media the play it appeared he was injured on. Following practice, the rookie described it as a "dirty play" and said it has been a frustrating time. Game designations will be released on Friday and might provide a better outlook on Johnson's availability against the Jaguars.
Hernandez was limited after missing Wednesday's practice. Outside linebacker Baron Browning (concussion), safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ankle), and offensive tackles Jonah Williams (shoulder) and Kelvin Beachum (groin) did not participate.
Running backs Bam Knight (ankle) and Trey Benson (knee) logged back-to-back limited practices. If the Cardinals opt to play Benson this weekend, the team will need to activate him to the 53-man roster by Saturday afternoon. The team will already be without running back Emari Demercado (ankle).
Offensive lineman Hayden Conner (knee), defensive lineman Darius Robinson (groin), and cornerback Garrett Williams (ankle) were all limited.
Brenton Strange is expected to be activated to the 53-man roster and play against the Cardinals this weekend. The Jaguars tight end has been on Injured Reserve with a hip injury. Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. injured his ankle during Week 9 and continues to practice in a limited capacity.
WEDNESDAY REPORT
Jonathan Gannon ruled out wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and running back Emari Demercado for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. It's been over a week since Harrison's appendicitis surgery, which made him inactive last weekend. He's recovering from that procedure.
Demercado exited the 49ers matchup early with an ankle injury. After a brief locker room visit, Demercado returned to the sidelines and practiced running, but was ultimately unable to return.
The Cardinals had key offensive lineman miss practice on Wednesday. Right tackle Jonah Williams continues to nurse a shoulder injury that made him inactive last weekend. Kelvin Beachum, who typically misses Wednesday practice with a veterans rest day sat out practice with a groin injury. If he's unable to return to the field, rookie Josh Fryar could be in line to start his first game.
Right guard Will Hernandez (knee) did not participate on Wednesday. He was a part of a rotation with Isaiah Adams against the 49ers which Gannon said was health-related.
Also not practicing were outside linebacker Baron Browning (concussion), safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ankle), and cornerback Will Johnson (back/hip). The Cardinals potentially avoided another significant injury to Garrett Williams. After exiting Sunday's game with a ankle injury, Williams was a limited participant at practice.
The players to practice in a limited capacity were running backs Trey Benson (knee) and Bam Knight (ankle), offensive lineman Hayden Conner (knee), and Darius Robinson (groin).
The Jaguars were without defensive end Travon Walker (knee) and linebacker Yasir Abdullah (finger). Former Cardinals outside linebacker Dennis Gardeck was limited with a chest injury.
