  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Seen at practice Wednesday

    Walker (ankle) is present at Wednesday's practice, but he didn't take part during the media-access portion of the session, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Walker officially kicked off Week 16 prep with an absence Tuesday, but it's unclear if he'll replicate that listing one day later. If he does, he'll be afforded just one more opportunity to mix into drills before the Seahawks likely tab him with a designation for Saturday's contest in Kansas City. With DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also sitting out Tuesday, Travis Homer is the only healthy running back on Seattle's active roster after the team waived Tony Jones earlier Wednesday.

  • Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Stays limited Wednesday

    Gibson (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    GIbson reps have been capped for the Commanders' first two practices of Week 16, as has been the case for a few weeks at this point while he deals with a foot injury. He'll have one more chance to get back to full activity Thursday, at which point the Commanders may hand him a designation for Saturday's contest at San Francisco. Gibson doesn't appear in danger of sitting out this weekend, so assuming he's eventually cleared to play, he again will be splitting work with rookie Brian Robinson out of Washington's backfield.

  • Broncos' Latavius Murray: Listed as limited Wednesday

    Murray was listed as limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a foot injury.

    In this past Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals, Murray logged 44 of 69 snaps on offense while carrying 24 times for 130 yards and a touchdown and catching one pass for 12 yards. The Broncos haven't indicated whether the foot issue is something Murray picked up in the Week 15 win or during Wednesday's practice, but his status is worth monitoring in any case as Sunday's game against the Rams approaches.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Packers' Aaron Jones: Dealing with knee issue

    Jones was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a knee injury.

    Since making an early exit from a Week 9 loss at Detroit, Jones has been alternatively listed with ankle and shin issues on Packers injury reports. As the team gears up for Sunday's game at Miami, he's dealing with a new health concern. Jones generally has been able to handle a full workload in five contests in the meantime, averaging 18.8 touches for 98.2 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three total touchdowns. Assuming he's able to gain clearance to play this weekend, per usual, he'll again share the backfield with AJ Dillon, who left Monday's win against the Rams to be checked for a concussion but avoided entering the protocol.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Logs limited practice

    Stevenson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Stevenson's ankle injury had him listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's contest against the Raiders, but he played through the issue, racking up 19 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown and two catches for minus-4 yards. With no reported setbacks since then, Stevenson's limitations this week could be maintenance-related, though the possibility exists that both he and fellow back Damien Harris (thigh) approach Saturday's game against the Bengals listed as questionable.

  • Damien Harris RB | BUF

    Patriots' Damien Harris: Limited at practice

    Harris (thigh) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Harris, who last suited up Week 12, appears to be trending toward being listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bengals. Fellow running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) -- who was also listed as a limited participant Wednesday -- may also carry a questionable designation into the weekend, but Stevenson was able to play through the injury in Week 15, carrying 19 times for 172 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' loss to the Raiders. If both backs end up active versus Cincinnati, Harris likely wouldn't represent a reliable lineup option with Stevenson having a hold on the No. 1 role.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Held out of practice

    Harris (hip) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    It's a downgrade from Tuesday, when Harris was listed as a limited participant, though the Steelers didn't actually hold a practice just two days after Sunday's win over the Panthers. The Steelers face the Raiders this Saturday, with Jaylen Warren ready to pick up slack in the backfield if things go south with Harris' health. Harris miss practice last Wednesday with the same hip injury, then returned to full participation the next day and took 24 carries for 86 yards and a TD in the 24-16 win over Carolina. Warren, meanwhile, added 12 touches for 49 yards and a touchdown while playing 34 percent of the snaps on offense.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Jets' Zonovan Knight: Gets questionable tag for Week 16

    Knight (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Jaguars after being listed as a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site previously noted that Knight came out of the Jets' Week 15 loss to Detroit with the ankle issue, but he wasn't listed on the team's first two Week 16 injury reports. Per Cimini, Knight is trending toward playing versus Jacksonville, but the questionable designation nonetheless makes the running back's status worth confirming ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Ravens' J.K. Dobbins: Not on injury report

    Dobbins (knee/rest) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report as the Ravens prepare for a home game against Atlanta on Saturday.

    The Ravens listed Dobbins as a non-participant Tuesday before he was back in action in full capacity Wednesday. He's topped 100 rushing yards in both of his games since returning from injured reserve, but with only 28 carries total and while playing less than half of Baltimore's offensive snaps in both games. Dobbins may get more work down the stretch, and Saturday's matchup with the Falcons should help out in that regard.

  • Tony Jones RB | ARI

    Seahawks' Tony Jones: Let go by Seattle

    The Seahawks waived Jones on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    The Seahawks claimed Jones off waivers from the Saints back in October, but he's since been let go after failing to carve out a consistent backfield role despite numerous injuries to the position group. He'll now wait for further opportunities to compete for snaps elsewhere.
