Samuel Limited; No Practice For Kolb

Cornerback Asante Samuel was added to the injury report Thursday with a groin injury that limited him in practice. It is unknown if the injury is related to the one he suffered Monday night against the Bears. Samuel was not mentioned in head coach Andy Reid's day-after injury update on Tuesday.

Free safety Nate Allen (concussion) and guard Evan Mathis (toe) did not participate for a second straight day. Rookie Jaiquawn Jarrett is preparing to start if Allen is not cleared. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said that King Dunlap and Julian Vandervelde have split reps in practice, but Dunlap said that he is expected to start if Mathis can't play.

Defensive end Juqua Parker was limited in practice again due to the ankle injury that kept him out of the Monday night game.

The following four players were full participants in Thursday's practice: defensive end Brandon Graham (knee), offensive tackle Winston Justice (knee), center Jason Kelce (quadricep) and running back LeSean McCoy (shoulder).

According to Darren Urban of ArizonaCardinals.com, quarterback Kevin Kolb did not practice again on Thursday due to his toe injury. Urban noted that Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt did not rule out Kolb's availability as a backup for Sunday. If Kolb can't play, John Skelton will make a second straight start.
