Penny (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

One day removed from Travis Homer (calf) being listed as full on the Seahawks' practice estimate, Penny put in a full on-field session himself Thursday. With Chris Carson (neck) out for the season, Alex Collins (abdomen) has been the team's running back most likely to receive touches on a weekly basis. Behind Collins, though, Penny, Homer and DeeJay Dallas are healthy, while Adrian Peterson and undrafted rookie Josh Johnson are on the practice squad. It remains to be seen who among those five may be the No. 2 RB on Sunday against the 49ers.

Hasty (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

With back-to-back capped sessions behind him, Hasty may be setting himself up for his first game action since Week 9. If he indeed makes it all the way back -- either by getting rid of his designation Friday or being deemed active Sunday at Seattle -- he'd still take a back seat to Elijah Mitchell this weekend. Hasty's primary competition for reps would be Jeff Wilson with Trey Sermon (ankle) slated to miss time.

Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Even with Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined for a fourth straight contest, the Saints will keep Jones in street clothes in this one. Instead, Mark Ingram is slated to handle the bulk of the reps out of the backfield, with wide receiver Ty Montgomery, fullback Adam Prentice and special teamer Dwayne Washington on hand for complementary work.

Kamara (knee) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Cowboys.

When Kamara was able to receive limited listings on all three Week 13 injury reports, there was a glimmer of hope that he'd be able to see his first game action since Week 9. However, following a report from Ian Rapoport and Jane Slater of NFL Network early Thursday, Kamara was considered unlikely to suit up. Kamara thus will yield the Saints backfield to Mark Ingram, who is back after missing one contest due to swelling in his knee. With Tony Jones a healthy scratch, wide receiver Ty Montgomery, fullback Adam Prentice and special teamer Dwayne Washington are available for any RB reps that don't go to Ingram.

Walter reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.

The running back was able to rush for 38 yards and a touchdown after being elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 12 contest against the Texans, but he's back on the practice squad. Assuming he's elevated again Sunday against the Eagles, he'll join Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson in the Jets backfield.

Williams (calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Williams has been unable to play since Week 8 while dealing with the calf injury and appears unlikely to be active for the Bears' Week 13 contest versus the Cardinals. Khalil Herbert will continue to operate as the top backup option behind David Montgomery in the Chicago backfield.

Jacobs was added to the Raiders' Week 13 injury report after logging a limited practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday, so it's possible he tweaked his ankle during Thursday's session. As a result, his status is worth tracking, but if he's able to get in a good practice Friday, he could avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Washington. Next up for the Raiders' carries this weekend if Jacobs is out or limited are Kenyan Drake and Jalen Richard, with Peyton Barber a candidate to suit up after being a healthy scratch in Week 12.

Bolden (knee) was limited at practice Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Meanwhile, fellow running backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson are off the Patriots' injury report. If he's able to play Monday night against the Bills, Bolden would be in line to continue to work in a change-of-pace/pass-catching role while the aforementioned duo handle the bulk of the team's Week 13 carries.

Sanders (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Even though Sanders' sore ankle hobbled him in the second half of last week's loss to the Giants and rendered him a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, the running back was adamant that he would be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Jets. Sanders' ability to upgrade to full participation in practice supports his optimism, and seemingly makes him one of the healthier members of the Eagles' ground attack. Top backups Boston Scott (illness) and Jordan Howard (knee) are looking iffy for the Week 13 matchup after back-to-back missed practices, while run-oriented quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) was listed as a limited participant for the second day in a row. The status of the quarterback in particular bears watching with regard to Sanders' fantasy outlook, and even if Hurts is cleared to start, the Eagles could look to scale back his involvement as a runner with an eye on protecting his ankle. If that's the case, Sanders could finally have a clearer path to the higher-value red-zone touches that have evaded him all season, as he's yet to score a touchdown in nine appearances despite averaging an excellent 5.2 yards per carry.

Swift (shoulder) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

Detroit hasn't officially ruled Swift out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but his consecutive absences from practice to begin Week 13 prep seemingly backs up Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com's report from Wednesday suggesting the running back could miss multiple weeks. According to Fowler, Swift is contending with an AC joint sprain of his shoulder, and given the 0-10-1 Lions' status as the only non-contender in a jam-packed NFC playoff picture, the organization could take a cautious approach with its top back. Expect the Lions to formally rule Swift out for Sunday's game following Friday's practice, positioning Jamaal Williams to step into a lead role out of the backfield.
