NFL Player News

Chubb (foot) was present for practice Thursday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Chubb was listed as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday, so his return to Thursday's practice is a positive development ahead of Saturday's game against the Saints. The Browns' upcoming injury report will clarify whether the running back heads into the weekend with a Week 16 injury designation or cleared to face New Orleans.

Walker (ankle) wasn't spotted practicing with the Seahawks' other healthy players during the media-access portion of Thursday's session, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Later Thursday, the Seahawks will release their final Week 16 injury report, with Bell expecting that Walker will be listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Kansas City after going down as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday. While a lack of practice activity won't disqualify Walker from potentially suiting up this weekend, it's not an especially ideal scenario for fantasy managers who are weighing whether to include the rookie back in lineups for Week 16. In what's otherwise been a mostly promising first NFL season, Walker is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry while collecting 11 receptions across his last four appearances, missing one game along the way (Week 14 against the Panthers) due to a lingering ankle injury. Even if Walker is cleared ahead of Saturday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, he could be on a restricted snap count while he manages the ankle issue.

Dallas (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The limited session marks Dallas' first official on-field work since suffering an injury Week 13 that head coach Pete Carroll called "somewhat of a high-ankle issue" at the time, per Boyle. Dallas predictably has missed two outings as a result, but his return to drills Wednesday may indicate that a return to game action is possible Saturday at Kansas City. Thursday's injury report could be telling for his chances to do so, which also can be said for the Seahawks' top running back Kenneth Walker (ankle), who has yet to practice this week. After the team waived Tony Jones on Wednesday, Travis Homer is the only healthy member of the backfield on the active roster.

Walker (ankle) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

While Walker was spotted on the practice field Wednesday, he didn't record any activity for a second straight day, which affords him just one more chance to log reps this week. Thursday's session and the Seahawks' subsequent injury report will be key to determining whether he enters the weekend with a designation for Saturday's game at Kansas City. Fellow running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) increased his activity from no participation Tuesday to limited work Wednesday, so he appears to be a step ahead of Walker. Notably, the Seahawks waived Tony Jones on Wednesday, so Travis Homer is the only healthy member of the backfield on the team's active roster at the moment.

McCaffrey (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

For a fourth week in a row, McCaffrey is enduring practice limitations due to a listed knee issue, but it hasn't stopped him from producing on game days. Over the last three contests, he's averaged 24.3 touches for 145.7 yards from scrimmage per game while recording four total touchdowns. Assuming he gains clearance to play Saturday against the Commanders, McCaffrey will be looking for a fourth consecutive performance with at last 138 total yards and one score.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
