Mathieu (thumb) was limited in practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis:

Despite two limited showings to begin the week of prep, Mathieu is expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, barring a setback. Even if he does suit up, Tony Jefferson is expected to eat into Mathieu's workload, as he did early in the season when the LSU product was working through the final stages of tears to the ACL and LCL in his left knee.
