  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Another limited session

    Stevenson (toe) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald relays that Patriots running backs coach Tony Dews noted Thursday that Stevenson -- who also was limited Wednesday -- "was out there running around, and looked like himself running around. So, we'll see what it looks like tomorrow." In any case, Friday's final injury report is slated to reveal whether Stevenson approaches Week 12 action with an injury designation or fully cleared to play Sunday against the Bengals.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Another limited showing

    Knight (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    In the wake of Emari Demercado (ankle) being ruled out for Week 12 and the Cardinals designating Trey Benson (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Knight himself is dealing with a health concern this week that's capped his practice reps. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Knight enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Jaguars, but even if he's able to suit up, his eventual workload may be contingent on the team's decision regarding Benson, who will need to be activated from IR by Saturday afternoon to have a chance to play this weekend. Aside from Knight, Michael Carter represents the other running back on Arizona's active roster.

  • Trey Benson RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey Benson: Stays limited Thursday

    Benson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Since Arizona designated him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Benson has logged back-to-back capped sessions and will have one more chance to get back to full this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his status ahead of a Week 12 contest against the Jaguars. He's seeking his first game action since undergoing surgery on a meniscus injury following a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks, and the Cards will need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon for him to have a chance to play Sunday. With Emari Demercado (ankle) already ruled out and Bam Knight (ankle) also limited so far this week, Michael Carter is the only healthy RB on the active roster.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Limited Thursday, just like Etienne

    Tuten (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    The same was true of Travis Etienne (shoulder), so the pair of running backs have followed identical practice patterns after a near-even split of the backfield workload in Week 11 against the Chargers. Etienne was able to finish out that game while Tuten departed in the second half. If either running back pulls ahead in terms of Friday's participation level, that could determine who will get most of the carries Sunday against a Cardinals defense that has allowed five total touchdowns to running backs over the past two games.

  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Limited Thursday, same as Tuten

    Etienne (shoulder) was listed as limited at practice Thursday.

    Etienne didn't take contact at Thursday's practice so a second consecutive limited designation was expected. Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was also listed as limited both Wednesday and Thursday after splitting carries with Etienne in Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers. Whether either running back upgrades to full participation Friday could play a significant role in determining which Jaguar gets the lion's share of carries Sunday against Arizona's struggling defense.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Officially limited Thursday

    Jacobs (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Jacobs was capped to individual drills during the Packers' second Week 12 session, after which he touched on the nature of the injuries that knocked him out of this past Sunday's win at the Giants in the second quarter. He told Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site that he suffered a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but the swelling has gone down significantly since then. Jacobs also said that he needs to regain range of motion in the leg in question, meaning Friday's practice likely will be key for his chances to suit up Sunday against the Vikings. Emanuel Wilson is poised to take on most of the backfield work if Jacobs is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, with Chris Brooks on hand for touches as well.

  • Myles Gaskin RB | SEA

    Myles Gaskin: Cut from Seahawks' practice squad

    Seattle cut Gaskin from the practice squad Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Gaskin wasn't elevated for a single regular-season game during his time on the Seahawks' practice squad. The versatile veteran running back will work to catch on in a similar depth capacity elsewhere in the league.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Limited practice Thursday

    Pacheco (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

    After being listed as a full participant Wednesday, Pacheco -- who is still sporting a bulky brace on his right knee -- per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, was deemed limited a day later. With that in mind, it's possible the running back's downgrade in participation level was indicative of load management rather than a setback, with Friday's final injury report slated to add further context with regard to Pacheco's chances of returning from a two-game absence Sunday against the Colts.

  • Dameon Pierce: Time up with Texans

    Pierce was waived by the Texans on Thursday.

    Pierce could garner some interest on waivers considering he has posted some promising performances when given the opportunity. Houston's 2022 fourth-round pick out of Florida rushed for 939 yards as a rookie and capped the 2024 regular season with a 176-yard rushing performance when the Texans were resting starters. Pierce failed to carve out a much of a role in 2025 despite Joe Mixon's (foot/ankle) season-long absence, falling behind rookie Woody Marks, veteran Nick Chubb and even pass-catching specialist Dare Ogunbowale on the running back depth chart prior to being waived.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Added to injury report

    Johnson (thumb) did not practice Thursday.

    Johnson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, an indication that he injured this thumb during Week 12 practices. Travis Homer (hamstring/knee) also missed practice Thursday, potentially leaving the Bears thin on backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift (hip) and Kyle Monangai heading into a home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday.
