Cardinals' Dre Kirkpatrick: Handed questionable tag for Week 16
Rotowire
Kirkpatrick (hamstring/calf) is considered questionable going into Saturday's matchup against the 49ers after being held out of Thursday's practice session, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Kirkpatrick was unable to participate throughout the entire practice week, but there remains a chance for him to suit up Week 16 after he proved capable of fighting through his hamstring injury last Sunday in a win over Philadelphia. An absence from Kirkpatrick would spell more opportunities for 2019 second-round draft choice Byron Murphy, who hasn't started since Week 10.

Cardinals' Dre Kirkpatrick: Upgraded Thursday
Rotowire
Kirkpatrick (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Kirkpatrick missed Wednesday's practice with the hamstring issue, but it's a good sign that he was able to practice in some capacity Thursday. It's still unlikely the veteran misses Sunday's game against the Eagles, but his practice status Friday should paint a clearer picture. Byron Murphy and Kevin Peterson still stand to gain an uptick in snaps should Kirkpatrick miss any game action.

Bengals' Dre Kirkpatrick: Struggling postgame
Rotowire
Kirkpatrick was moving "very slowly" on crutches and was sporting a knee brace on his left leg following Sunday's loss to Baltimore, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Kirkpatrick was forced to leave the game in the second quarter due to the injury and subsequently didn't return. It's likely the team will shed some light on his injury in the coming days, but if they don't, his practice availability will shed light on the severity of injury. B.W. Webb came into the game Sunday and would be the favorite to do so again if Kirkpatrick is forced to miss Week 7.

Rotowire
Kirkpatrick was missing from Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Kirkpatrick has become a scapegoat for Bengals fans, many of whom are spoiled by having William Jackson III on the other side of the field. But if Kirkpatrick can't go Sunday, they'll miss him greatly against the Falcons' multi-pronged attack. It could mean another big day for receiver Calvin Ridley.
