Bolden (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after not practicing this week, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

With Bolden unlikely to suit up versus the Cardinals, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White figure to see added complementary snaps behind behind starter Josh Jacobs in the Raiders' Week 2 backfield.

Washington (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Washington was limited at practice all week but still has a chance to make his season debut Sunday. Alvin Kamara (ribs), Mark Ingram (ankle) and Washington are all questionable for Week 2, so it's unclear what the Saints backfield will look like against Tampa Bay.

Ahmed (heel) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Ahmed didn't practice Wednesday but was limited Thursday and Friday. Even if Ahmed is available, it's unlikely he'll garner a major offensive role behind Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Myles Gaskin.

Though he was listed as a full practice participant this week, Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Normally a week of full practice sessions would result in a player heading into his team's upcoming contest minus an injury designation, but with Dobbins working his way back from a major knee injury that he suffered during the Ravens' 2021 preseason finale, the team so far has fallen short of declaring him available for Week 2 action. Per Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun, Dobbins said Friday that he feels "amazing," but with regard to whether he'll suit up versus Miami, the running back noted, "We'll see." If he does make his season debut this weekend, some sort of snap count is plausible for Dobbins, with Kenyan Drake, Mike Davis and Justice Hill also available to handle backfield touches for Baltimore.

Walker (hernia) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

While he won't necessarily have a key role from the jump, Walker has been cleared to play. He should poach some carries from Rashaad Penny sooner or later, and the veteran's injury history means Walker has a good chance to serve as the lead runner at some point during his rookie season. The 2022 second-round pick starts off with a challenge, facing San Francisco's menacing front seven on the road.

Swift (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Swift gutted out a sprain after rolling his ankle during the Lions' Week 1 loss to the Eagles, totaling 175 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 18 touches. The issue kept him out of drills both Wednesday and Thursday, but Swift was able to get on the practice field Friday in a limited capacity, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Swift's availability for Week 2 won't be known until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's limited or out, he'll yield some or most of the team's running back reps to Jamaal Williams.

Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Rod Walker of NOLA.com reports.

Kamara opened the week as a limited participant but now appears truly in doubt for Sunday after missing practice Thursday and Friday. Backup RB Mark Ingram (ankle) also is listed as questionable this week, though seemingly with better odds to play after managing limited practices Wednesday through Friday. Behind those two, the Saints have Tony Jones and Dwayne Washington (questionable - hamstring) as their other RBs on the roster.

Harris (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Harris was forced out of the waning minutes of Pittsburgh's eventual season-opening win at Cincinnati with a foot injury. Ensuing tests regarding the issue came back negative, and while his practice reps were limited Wednesday, he capped this week with back-to-back full sessions. The second-year running back thus will be available for Week 2 action.

Kamara (ribs) doesn't appear to be practicing Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

It's a sign he's in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Bucs, now missing back-to-back practices after a limited session Wednesday. Mark Ingram (ankle) will fill in as the starter if Kamara can't play, assuming the 32-year-old Ingram can play after limited practices Wednesday and Thursday.

With Damien Williams (ribs) ruled out, Allgeier has a chance to make his NFL debut Sunday at the Rams, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

The rookie fifth-round pick was a healthy scratch for the season opener, and Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said special teams were part of the reason for Allgeier's inactive status, per Jeremy Brener of SI.com. "A lot of it comes down to special teams. Some weeks, maybe we'll have five running backs up." However, Allgeier likely won't need to wait for one of those situations, as he has an opportunity to make his first appearance as a pro Week 2 after Williams was ruled out. Avery Williams, who was converted to running back this offseason, operated as No. 3 RB against the Saints, but it's unclear if Atlanta trusts him for primary backup duties yet. If Allgeier is active, the team figures to at least give the rookie a few touches behind Cordarrelle Patterson, who dominated the workload in Week 1.
