Coach Dan Campbell said Friday that Swift (shoulder) is "probably out" for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jeff Risdon of USA Today reports.

The Lions haven't yet given Swift an official injury designation for Week 4, but it sounds like Campbell considers the third-year pro 'doubtful' for Sunday's contest against Seattle. That would pave the way for Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds to lead Detroit's backfield while Swift works to potentially return Week 5 at New England. With Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) already ruled out against the Seahawks, the Lions offense could be without arguably its top two playmakers.

McCaffrey (thigh) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

McCaffrey upgraded to limited practice activity after starting the week with back-to-back absences, and it looks like he has at least a chance to play this weekend. However, the Panthers may monitor McCaffrey's status until the last minute, so his status could come down to a game-time decision Sunday. The team has Chuba Hubbard and D'Onta Foreman on hand in case McCaffrey's touches need to be limited, or he ends up inactive. Per Steve Reed of the Associated Press, coach Matt Rhule said he's "very hopeful" McCaffrey will be available.

With Boston Scott (ribs) unlikely to play, Sermon is expected to make his Eagles debut Sunday against the Jaguars, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Sermon joined the Eagles following the initial 53-man roster deadline, but the second-year running back has been a healthy scratch for each of the first three games with his new squad. As a rookie with San Francisco last year, the 2021 third-round pick rushed 41 times for 167 yards and one score across nine appearances. It's unclear what his role with be during his debut, but Sermon will have a tough time garnering many touches behind Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that Scott (ribs) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Scott didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a rib issue that he presumably picked up in the team's Week 3 win over Washington and probably won't be available for Week 4. In his likely absence, Trey Sermon is expected to make his Eagles debut as the third-string RB behind Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.

Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Kamara's status for Sunday's contest against the Vikings is up in the air after he logged a trio of limited practices this week. Meanwhile, the Saints already have Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip) listed as doubtful and Michael Thomas (foot) ruled out, so the team can't afford to lose another playmaker of Kamara's level. If Kamara is able to suit up, he could benefit from increased target volume in Thomas' absence, likely catching passes from Andy Dalton.

McCaffrey (thigh) participated at the start of Friday's practice, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

McCaffrey is coming off back-to-back missed sessions, but he's managed to shed the red jersey and replace it with a white uniform Friday. If the star running back is able to upgrade to at least 'limited' activity on Carolina's final Week 4 injury report, it will signify a step in the right direction for his chances of suiting up versus Arizona on Sunday. In any case, the Panthers will disclose an official game-day designation for McCaffrey on Friday.

Edmonds rushed five times for six yards and brought in two of three targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-15 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

Edmonds logged 10 fewer carries than backfield mate Raheem Mostert, but he was able to find the end zone for the third time in the last two games via a seven-yard touchdown reception with seven seconds remaining in the first half. Edmonds has generated just 85 yards on 28 carries over his first four games, but he does have a pair of rushing scores along with Thursday's receiving touchdown, his first of the season. Edmonds figures to remain in a complementary role, albeit one that includes a solid red-zone presence thus far, irrespective of whether it's Tua Tagovailoa (head/neck) or Teddy Bridgewater under center for a Week 5 AFC East road showdown against the Jets a week from Sunday.

Mostert rushed 15 times for 69 yards and secured two of three targets for 12 yards in the Dolphins' 27-15 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. He also returned two kickoffs for 42 yards.

Mostert served as the clear lead back on the night, outpacing backfield mate Chase Edmonds by 10 carries while matching his two catches and three targets. Mostert's workload on the ground was a season high, which also led to a new 2022 high-water mark in rushing yardage. He could have an elevated role once again in a Week 5 road showdown against the Jets a week from Sunday particularly if Teddy Bridgewater draws a start over Tua Tagovailoa (head/neck), considering head coach Mike McDaniel might run a bit more of a ground-based attack and Mostert could also play a key role as a safety-valve receiving option for the veteran backup.

Mixon rushed 24 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 13 yards in the Bengals' 27-15 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

As expected, Mixon couldn't find much room against a Dolphins team that had been stingy against the run and operating behind an offensive line that had struggled to open any lanes over the first three games. However, the veteran back toughed it out while handling his second-highest volume on the ground this season, and he salvaged his fantasy night with a five-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to open the scoring for the Bengals. Mixon also notched his second-highest reception total over the first four games, and he'll likely shoulder another heavy workload in a Week 5 road divisional showdown with the Ravens a week from Sunday.

Scott (rib) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Scott is a distant third in terms of offensive snaps (36) behind Miles Sanders (112) and Kenneth Gainwell (60) through three games. While Scott has nearly matched Gainwell in touches, 11-13, the former now is in danger of sitting out Week 4 entirely. Scott at least has Friday's practice to make his presence felt, but if he's inactive Sunday against the Jaguars, Trey Sermon likely will be available as the Eagles' third running back.
