Prater (left knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. Prater thus has just one more session to prove the health of his left knee this week before Arizona potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's game in San Francisco. If Prater isn't able to perform his usual place-kicking duties this weekend, the team likely will elevate Chad Ryland from the practice squad, which will need to happen by Saturday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to do so.

Prater (left knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. Prater thus has just one more session to prove the health of his left knee this week before Arizona potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's game in San Francisco. If Prater isn't able to perform his usual place-kicking duties this weekend, the team likely will elevate Chad Ryland from the practice squad, which will need to happen by Saturday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to do so.
McBride (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. After opening the week as limited Wednesday, McBride returned to full participation one day later. Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, McBride also didn't have on a yellow non-contact jersey while running routes and catching passes from QB Kyler Murray, signifying that he's closing in on emerging from the concussion protocol. Clearance from an independent neurologist awaits for McBride, though, so his listing on Friday's injury report will be telling in that regard. The third-year tight end is seeking to miss just one game as a result of the head injury that he sustained Week 3 against the Lions.
Prater didn't practice Wednesday due to a left knee injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. The Cardinals haven't had any kickers in Arizona for tryouts or visits this week, but they did sign Chad Ryland to the practice squad Wednesday. Prater's ability to mix into some drills Thursday and/or Friday likely will be key for his odds to play Sunday in San Francisco.
McBride (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. Head coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com earlier Wednesday that McBride was in line to practice and added that the tight end would be coming out of the protocol for head injuries. Considering McBride operated with practice limitations, he's still embedded in the protocol, but Gershman noted that the 24-year-old wasn't wearing a yellow non-contact jersey, indicating he at least can take hits. McBride will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday at San Francisco, even if he's able to log a full practice by week's end.
Jones (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Jones has spent the mandatory minimum of four games on injured reserve, and will now have his 21-day window to practice with the team opened. However, he will need to be added to the 53-man roster before he can play, which due to the time he has missed, may not be Sunday against the 49ers.
Robinson (calf) will not be designated to return from injured reserve this week, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. Robinson has missed the needed four games to receive the designation and return to practice, however, the 2024 first-round selection isn't quite ready to get on the field. It's unclear how much more time he may miss and what the chances are he'll have his 21-day practice window opened next week.
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that McBride (concussion) is slated to practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Gannon indicated that McBride will be 'coming out of the concussion protocol,' but it remains unclear whether the standout tight end has yet gained full clearance. In any case, McBride getting back on the practice field represents a positive step in the right direction after he was forced to miss Arizona's 42-14 loss to the Commanders in Week 4. McBride will need to be fully cleared, including via an independent neurologist, in order to suit up on the road in San Francisco on Sunday.
Thompson finished Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Cardinals with nine tackles (three solo). Thompson logged nine total tackles Sunday for a second straight game, and he tied Kyzir White for second-most tackles on the Cardinals behind Budda Baker (14). Thompson played every single defensive snap for a second straight game, and he has done so in three of four contests this season. He's up to 29 tackles (16 solo) on the year.
