  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Listed as full practice participant

    Henry (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Henry was deemed limited in Wednesday's session, but his full listing a day later indicates that the running back's initial listing was indicative of load management rather than an injury that could impact his Week 12 availability. He thus is slated to continue to lead the Titans backfield Sunday against the Panthers, a role that has led to him logging double-digit carries in all 10 games that he's played in, though he's been held to 62 yards on 21 carries over his last two outings.

  • Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Still limited at practice

    McKinnon (groin) remained listed as limited at practice Thursday.

    McKinnon was also limited Wednesday, so the running back will need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Raiders without an injury designation. Given that he's logged just 13 carries and 19 catches through 10 games this season, McKinnon -- who has recorded three receiving TDs in that span -- is worth lineup consideration only in deeper PPR formats.

  • Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Set to face Jets

    Mostert (ankle/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Friday's game against the Jets, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Though Mostert is managing ankle and knee issues and was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, he'll be available for Friday's contest. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane (knee) is listed as questionable, and if he's unavailable versus New York, Jeff Wilson and Darrynton Evans would be in line to work behind Mostert in Miami's Week 12 backfield.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Questionable for Friday

    Achane (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Jets, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Achane remained listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, and with the official questionable listing, the rookie running back's status for Friday's 3:00 pm ET kickoff is uncertain. If Achane is unavailable for the contest, Jeff Wilson and Darrynton Evans would be candidates to log complementary snaps behind Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), who doesn't carry a Week 12 injury designation.

  • Dolphins' Darrynton Evans: Bumped up from practice squad

    Evans was elevated from the Dolphins' practice squad Thursday.

    Evans, who just signed with Miami on Tuesday, will have an opportunity to make his debut with the team Friday against the Jets. With Raheem Mostert (ankle) and De'Von Achane (knee) both managing injuries ahead of the contest, the Dolphins may be depleted at the position with Jeff Wilson the only other fully healthy running back currently on the active roster.

  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Bears' D'Onta Foreman: Listed as DNP on Thursday

    Foreman (ankle/shin) didn't participate in Thursday's walkthrough.

    Foreman welcomed back Khalil Herbert to the Bears backfield this past Sunday at Detroit, but the former lasted only one half before he departed with a right ankle injury. The Bears listed both ankle and shin for Foreman as the cause of his DNP on Thursday, so his issue may be a bit more expansive than originally thought. Still, he'll have two more chances this week to log some activity, estimated or real, before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Monday's game in Minnesota.

  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Packers' AJ Dillon: Suiting up Thursday, as expected

    Dillon (groin) is listed as active Thursday at Detroit, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    In the first outing of a likely multi-game absence from Aaron Jones due to a sprained MCL, Dillon will brush off an injury that capped him to limited listings on all three Week 12 practice reports and suit up Thursday. Assuming he's ready for a robust workload, Dillon should get all the touches he can handle as he looks to build upon his performance since the team's Week 6 bye. Over the last five games, he's averaged just under 4.0 yards on his 53 rushes and recorded 13 catches (on 15 targets) for 121 yards. Any RB reps that don't go to Dillon will be available to Patrick Taylor and James Robinson.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Expected to face Commanders

    Dowdle (ankle) is expected to play Thursday against the Commanders, Ian Rappaport of NFL Network reports.

    Dowdle approaches the contest officially listed as questionable, but per Rappaport, the running back is trending toward being available to work in a complementary role Thursday behind top back Tony Pollard. Either way, confirmation of Dowdle's Week 12 status will arrive once the Cowboys' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Starting role awaits Thursday

    Charbonnet is in line to serve as Seattle's lead back Thursday against San Francisco with Kenneth Walker (oblique) listed as doubtful for the Week 12 contest and not expected to play, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Though Walker is on track to miss his first game of the season, the Seahawks already got an extended glimpse of Charbonnet in a leading role when Walker played just seven snaps in this past Sunday's loss to the Rams before going down with an oblique strain. Charbonnet dominated the work in the backfield following Walker's departure, finishing the day with 15 carries for 47 yards to go with six catches for 22 yards on six targets. Seattle will have DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh around as additional depth out of the backfield, but the former profiles as more of a third-down/pass-catching specialist, while the latter is a rookie seventh-round pick who has yet to make his NFL debut. With that in mind, Charbonnet could be poised for one of the heavier snap counts and workloads among all running backs Week 12, though a relatively difficult matchup against a San Francisco defense that has allowed 4.0 yards per carry and five rushing touchdowns this season may lower his overall ceiling a bit.

  • Chargers' Isaiah Spiller: Good to go for Week 12

    Spiller (illness) isn't listed on the Week 12 injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Spiller missed Week 11's date with the Packers. The Chargers' No. 3 running back, Spiller has 12 carries for 27 scoreless yards on the season. He's reeled in all three of his pass-game targets for 15 yards.
