Gresham (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals have eased Gresham back into action, giving him 17 snaps in Week 3 and then 33 snaps in Week 4. He's likely in no real danger of missing Sunday's game in San Francisco, where the 30-year-old figures to continue sharing work with Ricky Seals-Jones.

Gresham (Achilles) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
On the heels of his first game since tearing his Achilles in Week 17 of last season, Gresham was limited in the first two practices of this week before handling every rep Friday. He is thus ready to maintain or perhaps even increase his snap share Week 4. Nonetheless, he'll remain a distant second to Ricky Seals-Jones among Arizona tight ends until he proves healthy enough for a significant workload.

Gresham (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his return to action Sunday for the first time since tearing his Achilles in Week 17 of last season, Gresham clearly was on a pitch count, taking on 17 of the Cardinals' 50 offensive snaps. He was targeted twice, but couldn't haul in the pass from Sam Bradford while nabbing the one from rookie Josh Rosen for a nine-yard gain. There's little doubt the team will employ some sort of a cap on his workload for the foreseeable future, making it difficult to forecast significant output. Hindering him further is the presence of Ricky Seals-Jones, who has eight catches (on 15 targets) for 71 yards and a touchdown through three games.

Gresham (Achilles) is active for Sunday's contest versus the Bears, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham is poised to make his first appearance since tearing his Achilles during the 2017 season finale. That said, it wouldn't shock if he's merely active in the event something impacts the Cardinals' healthy tight ends, Ricky Seals-Jones or Gabe Holmes.

Gresham (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham progressed enough in his recovery from a torn Achilles to log full practices this week, but the Cardinals are understandably wary in deeming him questionable less than nine months removed from the injury. Coach Steve Wilks relayed optimism regarding the tight end, but even if Gresham is active Sunday, he'll be on a limited snap count behind top pass-catching option Ricky Seals-Jones.

Gresham (Achilles) practiced in full Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham took on every practice rep for the first time since tearing his Achilles in the 2017 season finale. After the session, coach Steve Wilks told Kyle Odegard of the team's official site that he's hopeful Gresham will suit up Sunday against the Bears. If he gets the all-clear, Gresham may have difficulty cutting into Ricky Seals-Jones' target share (12 through two games), especially in an offense that's been listless this season.

Gresham (Achilles) is listed as inactive Sunday at the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham avoided the regular-season PUP list but has yet to log more than a limited practice the past two weeks. As such, the Cardinals likely are wary to introduce the tight end to in-game contact until he can handle a full workload at some point during game preparations. With Gresham still on the sideline, Ricky Seals-Jones will act as the team's primary pass-catching TE, even if Gabe Holmes gets a second consecutive start.

Gresham (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since his activation from the PUP list on Sept. 1, Gresham has been a limited participant in every practice and inactive for the Cardinals' sole contest. Consequently, he doesn't seem like a great bet to suit up Sunday for the first time since Week 17 of last season, when he suffered a torn Achilles. Expect Ricky Seals-Jones to pick up most of the snaps afforded Cardinals tight ends, even when Gresham is back in action.

Gresham (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham is maintaining his activity level from a week ago, when he was eventually ruled inactive for Sunday's season-opening loss to the Redskins. Until he progresses enough to be termed a full participant, he doesn't seem like a candidate to take the field on game day. Considering he's a little more than eight months removed from tearing his Achilles, Gresham likely remains weeks away from returning to action.

Gresham (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham managed limited practices all week, only to be ruled out on the first game day of the season. The development isn't a shock in the slightest considering he tore his Achilles in Week 17 of last year. With that knowledge, he may be closer to week-to-week than approaching a return to the field. While Gresham's recovery continues, Ricky Seals-Jones should be the primary pass-catching tight end, even if he yields starts to Gabe Holmes, as he did in the preseason.
