Miller (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Miller will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game after he failed to practice in any fashion this week while he works back from an ankle sprain. According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, head coach Dennis Allen said Friday that Miller has made significant strides in his rehab but has "kind of stalled a little bit." The slower progression in Miller's recovery from the ankle sprain than anticipated likely explains why the Saints didn't initially place the rookie on injured reserve when he suffered the injury in a Week 9 win over the Bears. His continued absence will once again Sunday will leave Jamaal Williams unchallenged for the No. 2 role at running back behind starter Alvin Kamara.

Charbonnet (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

The Seahawks gave the same designation to Kenneth Walker, who missed the past two games with an oblique injury. Both Walker and Charbonnet missed practice Wednesday before returning to the field as limited participants Thursday and then full participants Friday. Though the ability of both backs to take full reps Friday bodes well for their chances of playing Sunday, official word on either player's status won't arrive until Seattle releases its inactive list 90 minutes ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Seattle faces a tough matchup against San Francisco, but Charbonnet's large workloads the past two weeks suggest he would make for a solid fantasy start if he's active and Walker isn't.

Walker (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Walker and Zach Charbonnet (knee) are both taking the same designation into the weekend after returning to practice Thursday as limited participants. The two had been splitting snaps about 50-50 before Walker missed the past two games with an injury, though Walker had a sizable advantage when it came to carry counts. Charbonnet then dominated backfield work in Walker's absence over the past two weeks, with DeeJay Dallas barely playing as the backup until a knee contusion forced Charbonnet out in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's loss to Dallas.

Hall (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after logging a limited practice Friday.

Friday marked the first time all week that Hall practiced in any capacity, but head coach Robert Saleh said Thursday that he expects the running back to play this weekend. Hall's status will be cleared up one way or the other when the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Hall is unable to play or hampered by the injury, more touches will be in store for Dalvin Cook and possibly Israel Abanikanda.

Mostert (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Mostert's reps were capped in his return to practice after he sat out Thursday's session entirely, but his absence a day earlier was likely at least in some part rest-related. With the Dolphins providing no indication that Mostert is dealing with a setback with his knee after he saw his lightest snap count of the season (23) in this past Sunday's 45-15 win over the Commanders, the expectation is that the running back will be ready to work in tandem with De'Von Achane on Monday night against the Titans. Mostert will be able to clear up any lingering concern about his availability by turning in a full practice Saturday.

Hunt (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Hunt raised his practice participation throughout the week, upgrading from a DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday before avoiding an injury designation thanks to a full practice Friday. He'll likely continue to split carries with Jerome Ford against Jacksonville, with Pierre Strong on hand in a change-of-pace role.

Etienne (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Etienne was listed as questionable ahead of this past Monday's game against the Bengals with the same injury, but the running back proceeded to suit up and played 63 percent of the offensive snaps in the Jaguars' 34-31 overtime loss, finishing with 45 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries to go with four catches for 34 yards. Though he missed out on some practice reps this week while managing the injury, the Jaguars haven't suggested that he's at any real risk of sitting out against Cleveland. The Jaguars could end up leaning more heavily on the Etienne-led ground game than usual in Week 14 if quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) -- who is also listed as questionable -- isn't able to play through the injury he suffered in Monday's loss.

McKinnon (groin) doesn't have an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs' usual lead back, Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) is set to miss his first game of the season, leaving more snaps available for McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, head coach Andy Reid said Friday that Edwards-Helaire will be the next man up with Pacheco out, but Edwards-Helaire is likely to see the bulk of his touches as a ballcarrier while McKinnon serves as the team's primary back on passing downs. McKinnon, who had missed the Chiefs' previous two games with the groin injury, has recorded 19 catches for 155 yards and three touchdowns this season but only 30 rushing yards.

Dillon (groin) was a limited practice participant Friday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Dillon played through the same injury the past two weeks, taking 36 touches for 168 yards while playing 52 and 63 percent of snaps on offense. The real question is whether Aaron Jones (knee) will return from his two-game absence for Monday's matchup with the Giants, and there looks to be at least some chance of that happening after Jones logged limited practices Thursday and Friday.

Jones (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Matt LaFleur said Jones is doing well after two straight limited practices to begin Week 14 prep, but the Green Bay head coach declined to make any predictions for the running back's availability Monday against the Giants, merely noting that the oft-criticized playing surface at MetLife Stadium won't be a factor in any decision, according to Wood. The Packers could end up listing Jones as questionable for Week 14 while categorizing him as a game-time decision, a development that would be especially frustrating for anyone looking to start Jones or AJ Dillon (groin) with the Packers not playing until Monday. Jones has missed the past two games, while Dillon managed to play through a groin injury in both contests en route to 36 touches for 168 yards and no touchdowns.
