Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Along with Walker, reserve DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is also listed as questionable, after both running backs weren't able to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Seattle is tentatively left with Travis Homer and Tony Jones as the healthy running backs on the 53-man roster, though the team is presumably hopeful that at least one of Walker or Dallas will be able to play through their respective injuries. Even if Walker avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he's no lock to take on his normal high-volume role out of the Seattle backfield. Before exiting early in last week's win over the Rams, Walker had played north of 71 percent of the snaps on offense in each of his prior six appearances while averaging 18.7 carries and three targets per contest.

Barkley (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Barkley will carry a designation into the weekend after the neck issue rendered him a limited participant in practices Thursday or Friday. Though head coach Brian Daboll wasn't willing to guarantee Barkley's availability for the Week 14 game when he addressed the matter Friday, both Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News and Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com expect the running back to play through the injury after he didn't appear to be working out with any discomfort in the portion of practice that was open to the media. If Barkley's condition takes a turn for the worse and the Giants decide to hold him out or scale back his workload Sunday, Matt Breida would likely be the next man up for work out of the team's backfield.

Harris (thigh) didn't practice Friday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Harris -- who missed last Thursday's loss to the Bills -- is looking iffy for Monday's contest against the Cardinals, though he has one more chance Saturday to log practice reps before the Patriots' final injury report of the week is posted. If Harris remains sidelined versus Arizona, Rhamondre Stevenson would once again be in line to handle the bulk of New England's backfield work.

Harris (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing fully Friday, Brooek Pryor of ESPN reports.

Harris steadily raised his practice participation over the course of the week, going from no practice Wednesday e to a limited session Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. The Steelers' lead back racked up 92 yards on 18 touches while playing through this oblique injury Week 13 against the Falcons, so Harris should once again be able to handle a full workload in this clash between AFC North rivals.

Foreman (foot) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.

Coming out of the Panthers' Week 13 bye, Foreman didn't practice Wednesday due to the foot issue, but he returned to the field Thursday as a limited participant before closing the week with an uncapped session. Foreman thus looks poised to return to his usual duties as the Panthers' lead option on the ground, with Chuba Hubbard on hand behind him for complementary work out of the backfield. Foreman draws a favorable Week 14 matchup against a Seattle defense that ranks 31st in the NFL with 155.3 rushing yards allowed per game.

Williams rushed three times for 19 yards and secured one of two targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 17-16 victory against the Raiders.

Despite seeing only eight fewer snaps than fellow running back Cam Akers, Williams was utilized far less and also ceded playing time to Malcolm Brown. Akers committed a costly fumble in the second quarter that ended a lengthy drive for the Rams, and it coincided with Williams getting his first touches of the game on the Rams' first drive of the second half. The Rams will draw one of the NFL's softest run defenses in Green Bay for Week 15, and that matchup combined with Akers having another lackluster rushing performance (12-42-1) may give Williams some hope for turning in a breakthrough game.

Jacobs is set to undergo tests after injuring a pinkie finger in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The running back underwent some initial X-rays during the game, which returned negative. Jacobs was able to return to action after popping his finger back into place, finishing the night with 27 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 15 yards. Jacobs has some added healing time ahead of the team's Dec. 18 contest against the Patriots in Week 15.

Barkley (neck) participated in practice Friday, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, head coach Brian Daboll wouldn't commit to Barkley being available for Sunday's game against the Eagles. That said, Raanan noted that Barkley looked "fine" at practice Friday, while adding that he would be surprised if the Giants' lead back didn't play this weekend. Regardless, Barkley seems likely to carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Akers rushed 12 times for 42 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for one yard in the Rams' 17-16 win over the Raiders on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.

Akers once again served as the clear-cut lead back over rookie backfield mate Kyren Williams, but he ultimately logged a fairly modest workload overall. Nevertheless, the third-year pro crossed the goal line for the third time in the last two games on a one-yard touchdown run with 3:19 remaining, a score that proved critical in the comeback. While the Rams' injury-hampered offensive line isn't likely to open up many running lanes for Akers, he at least appears to have a secure role, despite his second lost fumble of the season, going into a Week 15 road matchup versus the Packers on Monday night, Dec. 19.

Jacobs rushed 27 times for 99 yards and a touchdown while securing both targets for 15 yards in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

Jacobs opened the game in trademark fashion with a one-yard touchdown run to cap off a 12-play, 75-yard march on the Raiders' first possession. However, yards were much more at a premium throughout the rest of the game, and Jacobs also missed some time tending to a hand injury early in the second half that seemed to continue to affect him whenever he attempted to stiff-arm defenders. The star back, who saw his streak of 100-yard games narrowly stopped at three, will now get some much-needed extra rest before a Week 15 home showdown versus the Patriots.
