Edwards (hamstring) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice.

The Ravens' Week 10 bye did Edwards some good and may allow him to avoid a second straight missed game. Kenyan Drake scored a pair of touchdowns while Edwards was sidelined for a Week 9 win over New Orleans, but Drake's projection will take a big hit if his teammate returns this Sunday against the Panthers. Edwards picked up 16 carries in both of his two appearances (Weeks 7 and 8) earlier this season.

Harris (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Harris had been dealing with what head coach Mike Tomlin described as knee discomfort coming out of Sunday's win over the Saints, but the injury was never considered a threat to the running back's availability for a Week 11 game against the Bengals. He's expected to continue to lead the Steelers' rushing attack, though Jaylen Warren should still be in store for a sizable role as Harris' top complement. In the 20-10 victory over the Saints, Harris logged a 60 percent snap share and recorded 99 yards on a season-high 20 carries.

Evans (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Evans left the team's Week 9 matchup against Carolina due to a knee injury and was considered week-to-week after being diagnosed with a PCL injury. Cincinnati's Week 10 bye appears to have been beneficial for the second-year return man, but he'll likely have to log at least one full participation over the next two days to be cleared for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Harris isn't listed on the Wednesday injury report.

Harris fell ill Week 9 and ended up missing the Patriots' final game before their bye. He shouldn't have any limitations after the week off, though Rhamondre Stevenson still makes for a better fantasy play in Sunday's game against the Jets. The last time both were healthy was Week 8, also against the Jets, and Stevenson took 23 touches for 143 yards. Meanwhile, Harris gained 52 yards on his 13 touches.

Jones (shin) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Titans, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

For the second consecutive week, Jones' practice reps were capped due to first an ankle injury and then a shin issue. Still, neither of them will stop him from suiting up for the 11th time in as many contests on the campaign. In a Week 10 win over the Cowboys, Jones turned a season-high 26 touches into 156 yards from scrimmage and one score on the ground.

Jackson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Jackson missed the Colts' 25-20 win over Las Vegas last Sunday, while Jonathan Taylor returned from an ankle injury to play 94 percent of the snaps while taking 22 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown. Taylor will lead the backfield again this Sunday against Philadelphia, with Zack Moss and Jordan Wilkins providing depth if Jackson isn't ready to suit up.

Williams didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Williams has been the Lions' most-used running back this season, earning between 12 and 24 touches in each of the team's nine games. With nine touchdowns, he sits in a tie for third in the NFL with the Titans' Derrick Henry, but an illness now is affecting Williams' practice reps. At the same time, D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder) managed a full session Wednesday, so a changing of the guard in the backfield could be in store Week 11. Williams' status nonetheless will be one to watch closely as Sunday's game against the Giants approaches.

Edwards (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

A Week 10 bye seems to have done Edwards some good after he missed the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Saints. He had 16 carries in back-to-back games before that -- his only two appearances of the season -- and it's possible he reclaims the lead role from Kenyan Drake if he's available Sunday against Carolina.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that he doesn't believe Herbert (hip) is dealing with a season-ending injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The Bears placed Herbert on injured reserve Tuesday after the running back was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Lions after he suffered the injury in question on his final kickoff return of the day. The move to IR makes Herbert ineligible to play until Week 16, but Eberflus is apparently hopeful that the running back can make it back to action at some point during the final three weeks of the season. While Herbert is out of commission, top back David Montgomery stands to see increased opportunities, and Trestan Ebner should step up as his top backup starting with Sunday's game at Atlanta.

Bolden logged all 17 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

For only the second time in his eight appearances on the season, Bolden didn't pick up a snap on offense, as the Raiders had all of Josh Jacobs, Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White and Jakob Johnson work out of the backfield ahead of him. Bolden's status as a core special teams contributor should be enough to keep him active on game days moving forward, but he doesn't look like he'll have a role as a change-of-pace back unless one of Jacobs or Abdullah is sidelined.
