Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Titans' Derrick Henry: Hefty workload in win
Henry rushed 28 times for 87 yards and a touchdown, brought in both targets for 45 yards and completed two pass attempts for four yards and a touchdown in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night.
Dontrell Hilliard was the only other back to register a carry for the Titans on the night, and he logged exactly one rush attempt. That equated to a particularly busy night for Henry, who'd logged just a combined 36 carries in the previous pair of games. Henry also made impressive contributions through the air as both a passer and receiver, throwing a three-yard jump touchdown pass to Austin Hooper just past the halfway point of the third quarter and recording a 42-yard reception as well. Henry crossed the 1,000-yard mark on the ground for the fourth time in the last five seasons with Thursday's effort, and his next chance to build on his already impressive numbers comes in a Week 12 home battle against the Bengals a week from Sunday.

Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC
Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Returns to practice Thursday
Abdullah was a full participant in practice Thursday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Abdullah sat out practice due to an illness Wednesday, but he was back on the field Thursday. His ability to practice without limitations suggests that the veteran ball carrier should be good to go for Sunday's clash against Denver. Though he has yet to log a carry this season, Abdullah has seen at least 14 snaps each of the past three weeks and has caught nine passes for 69 yards over that span.

Gerrid Doaks RB | HOU
Gerrid Doaks: Let go from Texans' practice squad
The Texans cut Doaks from their practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Doaks, a 2021 seventh-round draft pick of the Dolphins, joined Houston's practice squad in early September. The 24-year-old is now slated to search elsewhere for an opportunity to make his NFL debut.

Jerick McKinnon RB | KC
Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Another limited practice
McKinnon (hamstring/shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.
McKinnon now has logged back-to-back limited sessions, so the running back presumably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against the Chargers. If he's available for the contest, McKinnon would be in line to continue to work in a change-of-pace/pass-catching role in Kansas City's Week 11 backfield behind starter Isiah Pacheco.

Gus Edwards RB | LAC
Ravens' Gus Edwards: Stays limited in practice
Edwards (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Coming out of the Ravens' Week 10 bye, Edwards hasn't completely moved past the right hamstring injury that sidelined him for the team's Week 9 win over the Saints. At this stage of the week, Edwards at least appears to be on a path to suiting up Sunday against the Panthers, as he's now practiced in a limited fashion on consecutive days. He still may need to upgrade to full activity Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Deon Jackson RB | DET
Colts' Deon Jackson: Limited in return to practice
Jackson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
When he was last on the field for the Colts' Week 9 loss to the Patriots, Jackson handled the lead role out of the backfield but mustered only 36 total yards on 13 touches. He also injured his knee during that contest and was forced to sit out the Colts' win over the Raiders, when top back Jonathan Taylor returned from a one-game absence and delivered one of his best performances of the season. Though Jackson's return to practice gives him a shot at being available this weekend against the Eagles, Taylor has escaped last week's game free of any setbacks to his ankle and looks poised to retain a high-volume role moving forward. With that in mind, Jackson likely won't be in store for anything more than a few touches if he's deemed ready to play this Sunday.

Dare Ogunbowale RB | LV
Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Practices in full Thursday
Ogunbowale (foot) was listed as a full participant on the Texans' injury report Thursday.
Ogunbowale played his usual supplementary role Week 10 against the Giants, but he was surprisingly sidelined with a foot injury during practice Wednesday. While it's unclear with this issue first arose, the running back appears to have worked past it and should be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Ogunbowale had begun to see playing time behind Dameon Pierce and Rex Burkhead over the last four weeks, though he could revert back to an exclusive role on special teams after Houston claimed running back Eno Benjamin off waivers Tuesday.

Ezekiel Elliott RB | LAC
Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Remains limited at practice
Elliott (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
On the heels of consecutive capped sessions to kick off Week 11 prep, Elliott spoke to the media Thursday, telling Jon Machota of The Athletic that he's "definitely very optimistic" about playing in Sunday's game against the Vikings. Elliott added that he intends to wear a brace on his right knee, which is recovering from a Grade 2 MCL sprain that he picked up back in Week 7. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he has a designation for the Week 11 game.
-
Jamaal Williams RB | NO
Lions' Jamaal Williams: Returns to practice
Williams (illness) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
Williams sat out the Lions' first practice of the week Wednesday after falling ill, but his ability to take every rep a day later clears the way for him to suit up this Sunday against the Giants. Though D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder) has been practicing fully this week and is on pace to be available for the fourth consecutive game, he could still be relegated to a complementary role while playing at less than 100 percent. Swift's snap shares have ranged between 16 and 52 percent over the past three contests, while Williams' share has dipped no lower than 39 percent over that stretch. Williams has out-carried Swift by a 50-13 margin in those games, but Swift has quadrupled Williams' target count (12 to three).

Derrick Gore RB | WAS
Derrick Gore: Sticking with NOLA
The Saints re-signed Gore to the practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Gore initially signed with New Orleans' practice squad last Wednesday before being cut by the team Tuesday. While the 27-year-old running back was not elevated during the team's Week 10 loss to the Steelers, he'll land back on the team's practice squad along with fellow veteran David Johnson, who was also signed Wednesday. With No. 2 running back Mark Ingram (knee) expected to remain out at least one more week and Dwayne Washington apparently relegated to a special-teams role, Gore and Johnson could jockey for a spot on the team's game-day roster during Sunday's game against the Rams.
