Gibson (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Gibson and fellow running back Brian Robinson (quadriceps) were both limited in all three practices throughout the week but avoided injury designations on Washington's final injury report. Robinson should get the majority of opportunities on the ground, while Gibson's the superior playmaker in the passing game.

Robinson (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Robinson was limited in all three of Washington's practices coming out of the Week 14 bye, but that won't keep him from playing in the pivotal Week 15 showdown with the Giants. The rookie running back rushed for 96 yards on 15 carries and caught both of his targets for 15 yards against the same opponent in Washington's previous game.

Pierce (ankle) is not participating in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

It appears Pierce will miss practice for the third consecutive day as he manages a high-ankle sprain. The 22-year-old appears likely to miss his first game of the season Sunday against Kansas City, which would leave Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale to split backfield duties for Houston.

Walker rushed 12 times for 47 yards and brought in four of five targets for 32 yards in the Seahawks' 21-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Walker actually managed to make some inroads against the league's best run defense, and his work in the passing game complemented his rushing production nicely. The rookie back didn't seem to show any ill effects from the ankle injury that had sidelined him in Seattle's Week 14 loss to the Panthers, and he'll now have extra time to get healthier before a critical Week 16 road contest versus the Chiefs a week from Saturday.

McCaffrey rushed 26 times for 108 yards and a touchdown while bringing in six of eight targets for 30 yards in the 49ers' 21-13 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.

McCaffrey filled a true workhouse role for the first time as a 49er, logging a season high in carries along the way. The star back scored his second rushing touchdown in as many games when he went in from one yard out late in the first half following a Travis Homer fumble and 40-yard return by Charvarius Ward. McCaffrey now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts as well going into a Week 16 home matchup versus the Commanders a week from Saturday.

Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against San Francisco, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Jones won't play in Week 15 due to a coach's decision, ultimately due to the fact that Kenneth Walker (ankle) is set to return after missing last week's loss to the Panthers. In the Week 14 defeat, Jones only played five offensive snaps, while Travis Homer saw a majority of the workload. With DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also inactive again Thursday night Travis Homer is in line to back up Walker against the 49ers.

Dallas (ankle) is listed as inactive Thursday against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

After not practicing at all during Week 15 prep, Dallas will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. With Kenneth Walker (ankle) back in action after sitting out this past Sunday against the Panthers and Tony Jones a healthy scratch Thursday, Travis Homer and Godwin Igwebuike will be the candidates to get reps behind the workhorse running back. Dallas' next chance to play is Saturday, Dec. 24 at Kansas City.

Harris (thigh) remained limited at practice Thursday.

While it's encouraging that Harris, who has missed two straight games, has logged back-to-back limited showings at practice, Chris Mason of masslive.com suggests that the running back "doesn't look particularly close to 100 percent." That said, in terms of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Harris seems to have a better chance of playing than Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), who has yet to practice this week.

Jacobs (quadriceps/hand) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

With back-to-back limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs will probably have to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 15 injury designation. That said, there's been nothing to suggest that the Raiders' top back -- who has been listed as questionable in advance of his team's last three games -- won't continue to tough things out this Sunday against the Patriots.

Jones (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones has been tending to what has alternatively been termed an ankle or shin injury since exiting a Week 9 loss at Detroit. He logged three of his five largest snap shares of the season Weeks 10 through 12, before he left but ultimately returned to the Packers' last game Week 13 in Chicago. In that last contest, Jones turned 14 touches into 50 yards from scrimmage on 38 percent of snaps, while fellow running back AJ Dillon reeled off 119 total yards and a rushing score on 21 touches and 68 percent of the plays. Jones will have two more sessions this week before the Packers potentially give him a designation for Monday's outing against the Rams.
