Dallas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Kansas City, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

While the team's No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker (ankle/back) didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday, Dallas followed up Tuesday's absence with a limited showing one day later. Dallas thus appears to be in a better spot, health-wise, than Walker heading into the weekend, while Travis Homer is the sole healthy member of the backfield on Seattle's active roster. In the end, the state of the position group will gain some clarity once the Seahawks post their list of inactives about 90 minutes before Saturday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

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

After enduring a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walkthrough, Jones maintained that activity level one day later as the Packers resumed Week 16 prep with a normal session. He was dealing with ankle and/or shin issues prior to his last five appearances, but this week a knee injury is impacting his on-field work. There's been no indication that Jones is in danger of sitting out Sunday at Miami, but Friday's practice report will indicate whether or not he heads into the weekend with a designation.

Wilson (hip) remained limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Wilson indicated that his hip is feeling better, but the running back isn't quite ready to commit to playing Sunday against the Packers. Friday's final injury report will add context with regard to Wilson's Week 16 status, but if he's able to return to action this weekend, he'd rejoin a backfield that was led capably by Raheem Mostert (17 carries for 136 yards) in Wilson's absence this past Saturday against the Bills.

Walker (ankle/back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Kansas City, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Seattle held Walker out of practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and he likely went down as a non-participant at the final session of Week 16 prep Thursday, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. With game statuses now known for this weekend, Walker not only has the lingering ankle issue attached to his name, but a back injury as well. The rookie second-round pick's upcoming availability thus is up in the air, but managers who may be relying on Walker at least will be aware if he's active or not about 90 minutes before Saturday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also is questionable, leaving Travis Homer as the only healthy member of the backfield on the Seahawks' active roster.

Knight (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, is in line to play, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Despite being listed as a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Knight still took a designation into the Week 16 contest. Fantasy managers who are planning on using Knight this week will still want to ensure that he's officially cleared when the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Knight has taken hold of the lead role out of the New York backfield, but after three quality performances to kick off his NFL career, the undrafted rookie out of NC State stumbled in last week's loss to the Lions. He carried 13 times for just 23 yards against Detroit and failed to draw a target across his 28 snaps.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Herbert (hip) will be officially reinstated from injured reserve Friday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Once the transaction is made official, Herbert will be back on the Bears' 53-man roster and thus eligible to make his return to action Saturday against the Bills after spending the minimum of four games on IR due to the hip issue. Herbert was cleared to resume practicing with the Bears on Tuesday and has apparently responded well to his on-field work, so expect him to step back in as the top complementary option to David Montgomery, who will likely see his opportunities take a hit with Herbert back in the fold. While both Montgomery and Herbert were available over a six-game stretch from Weeks 5 through 10, Herbert averaged 9.3 carries per contest.

Coach Nathaniel Hackett noted that part of the reason Murray (foot) didn't practice Thursday was that the Broncos were practicing inside on turf, Mike Klis of 9News Denver and Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports

Per Klis, Hackett hopes Murray can play Sunday against the Rams, a notion that would be supported by the running back's return to practice Friday, in any capacity. In the event that Murray is sidelined or limited versus Los Angeles, however, Marlon Mack and possibly Chase Edmonds (ankle) would be in line to see added work out of Denver's backfield in Week 16.

Murray (foot) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Murray was listed as a limited participant Wednesday, but Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett said the running back will be held out of Thursday's session entirely due to "some soreness" in his foot, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com. While the mid-week downgrade in activity is a less-than-ideal development for Murray, he would be able to erase some of the concern about his status for Sunday's game against the Rams if he's able to practice in some capacity Friday. However, if Murray ends up sitting out or is available on in a limited capacity this weekend, Marlon Mack and Chase Edmonds (ankle) would be in line to see added work out of the Denver backfield.

Gibson (foot) won't carry an injury designation for Saturday's game in San Francisco, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Gibson was listed as a limited participant on the Commanders' first two Week 16 practice reports, but as anticipated, his foot issue never seriously threatened his availability for Saturday's contest. He'll likely fill his usual role as Option 1B in the backfield alongside rookie Brian Robinson. Though Robinson has handled more carries between the two backs in each of the past three games, Gibson has still taken on snap shares ranging between 40 and 62 percent in those contests while averaging 10 touches.

Chubb (foot) isn't slated to carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Saints, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram and Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer report.

Per coach Kevin Stefanski, Chubb -- who was listed as a 'DNP' Tuesday and Wednesday -- looked good in his return to practice Thursday, which paves the way for the running back to suit up Saturday and continue to lead the Browns' backfield in Week 16. In last weekend's 13-3 win over the Ravens, Chubb carried 21 times for 99 yards, and this time around he'll be facing a New Orleans defense that is allowing an average of 132.6 rushing yards per game to date.
