Hall (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall was listed as questionable with the same injury last week and ended up taking 18 touches for 126 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 30-6 win over Houston. The Jets haven't been able to run the ball effectively this season, but Hall has remained useful for fantasy managers thanks to his key role as a pass catcher and his impressive work picking up yards after the catch. He'll likely be able to handle his usual workload Sunday at Miami.

Etienne (ribs) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Etienne will likely play through the rib injury for a third straight week when the Jaguars host the Ravens this Sunday. D'Ernest Johnson's role expanded a bit Weeks 11 through 13, but Etienne took on 78 percent of the snaps on offense and 18 of the 23 running back touches in a 31-27 loss to Cleveland in Week 14.

Dillon was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report due to a thumb issue, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Dillon had been dealing with a groin injury that affected his practice participation ahead of the Packers' previous three games, but it's a new health concern that he'll look to overcome in Week 15. Meanwhile, fellow running back Aaron Jones (knee) was listed as a limited participant Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll do enough Thursday and Friday to put himself in a position to return to action Sunday versus the Buccaneers. Dillon has filled in for Jones as Green Bay's primary running back over the last three games, notching 53 touches for 246 yards from scrimmage during that span, but the situation suddenly is cloudy with Dillon's listed non-participation in practice to begin Week 15 prep.

Jones (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

As was the case for all three of the Packers' practices in Week 14, Jones is being listed as limited to kick off Week 15 prep. Jones has now missed three straight games due a sprained MCL that he suffered Week 11 against the Chargers, but if he's able to increase his practice activity as the week unfolds, he could make his way back into the lineup this Sunday versus Tampa Bay. While Jones has been sidelined, AJ Dillon has handled most of the backfield reps for the Packers, turning 53 touches into 246 yards from scrimmage over the past three games. However, Dillon was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a thumb injury. With both Jones and Dillon dealing with health concerns, Patrick Taylor represents the only healthy back on the active roster.

Mostert (knee/veteran rest) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Following Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans, the Dolphins didn't hold an actual practice Wednesday, but Mostert would have sat out if the team convened for a workout. Mostert's projected practice absence shouldn't sound any alarms for fantasy managers, as he opened both of the past two weeks as a non-participant before taking double-digit carries in games against Washington and Tennessee. The Dolphins haven't provided any word that he suffered a setback with his knee coming out of Monday's contest, so he's likely just getting some extra maintenance on a short week before the Dolphins host the Jets on Sunday.

Achane was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a toe injury.

Achane appeared on the Dolphins' Week 14 injury report due to a rib issue, though he was listed as a full practice participant Thursday through Saturday before he played 31 snaps and finished with 71 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches (seven carries, five receptions) in a 28-27 loss to Tennessee on Monday. The rookie running back is tending to a new injury Week 15, and unlike last week, he'll end up missing some practice reps as a result. If Achane is able to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday or Friday, it would assuage some of the concern about his health heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.

Ford (wrist) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Per Petrak, head coach Kevin Stefanski relayed earlier this week that X-rays on Ford's hand and wrist were negative, but the running back's listed limitations Wednesday make his status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears. Along with Ford, Kareem Hunt (groin) also appeared on the Browns' initial Week 15 injury report, though Hunt was a non-participant in Wednesday's session.

Harris (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

After being listed as questionable ahead of last Thursday's game against the Patriots while tending to the knee issue, Harris suited up and played 39 snaps in the Steelers' 21-18 loss while finishing with 12 carries for 29 yards and three catches for 19 yards. The Steelers didn't indicate that Harris experienced any setbacks coming out of that contest, and his ability to take every rep Wednesday a day after being listed as a non-participant in practice suggests that his absence Tuesday was mostly maintenance-related. Harris looks set to split work out of the backfield with Jaylen Warren once again during this Saturday's game in Indianapolis.

Head coach Dennis Allen said Williams was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Both Williams and Kendre Miller (ankle) operated with caps on their reps to begin Week 15 prep, leaving Alvin Kamara as the only healthy running back on New Orleans' active roster. As a result, the situation has spurred the expected signing of free-agent running back James Robinson, which has yet to be confirmed. Williams himself will have to more opportunities this week to get back to full activity before the Saints potentially hand him a designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Drake reverted to the Packers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Drake received an opportunity with the active roster for Monday's loss to the Giants with Aaron Jones still nursing a knee injury. However, the veteran running back never saw a snap and remained on the sidelines throughout the contest. If Jones remains out Sunday against the Buccaneers, Drake will be a likely candidate to earn another opportunity with the active roster.
