Josh Sweat: returns to practice Thursday as a limited participant (knee)

THE FACT. Sweat was back on the field Thursday as a limited participant after sitting out Wednesday with a knee issue that the team also labeled rest, per NBC Sports' Josh Alper (Thursday, 7:06 p.m. ET). He spent most of the summer on the physically unable to perform list before Arizona activated him on Aug. 24.

THE VERDICT. Getting back on the practice field Thursday is the signal you want ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. IDP: treat him as a DL2 with upside if he avoids a designation Friday, but do not expect a full snap load in his first game back. Redraft and DFS: this mostly matters as a boost to the Cardinals defense, which is a mid-tier streamer this week rather than a set-and-forget play.
