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.

Wilson (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bills after being listed as limited in Thursday's practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Wilson is trending toward being a game-time decision Saturday. If the running back isn't able to face Buffalo, Raheem Mostert would step in as Miami's clear lead back Week 15, with Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin available in reserve.

Washington (illness) was not seen during the open-viewing period of the Saints' practice Thursday, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Washington has now missed back-to-back practices while dealing with an illness to begin Week 15. While it's discouraging that he wasn't able to ramp up his activity Thursday, he'll still have one more practice to improve his status before Friday's final injury reports. If Washington does remain sidelined, then the Saints could be down a core special-teams asset Sunday versus Atlanta.

Pierce (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of Sports Talk 790 reports.

Pierce is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is trending toward being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs come Friday. If that's the case, Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale will be in line to handle the Texans' backfield duties Week 15.

Montgomery didn't practice Thursday due to an illness.

While Montgomery's mid-week addition to the injury report isn't ideal, he'll still be in good shape to play Sunday against the Eagles if he can practice in some capacity Friday. The Bears haven't revealed the nature of his illness or its severity.
