Clement finished the 2020 season with 20 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown in 15 games, while adding five catches on six targets for 25 more yards.

Clement was only involved in the Eagles offense when Miles Sanders was out. Even then, it was only minimal involvement as pint-sized Boston Scott took over as the lead back in those several games. The 27-year-old former Super Bowl hero now heads into unrestricted free agency.

The Colts activated Wilkins from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Wilkins missed Indianapolis' final two games of 2020 after being placed on list, but he's now eligible to return to the team facility. Over his 15 regular-season appearances in 2020, Wilkins logged 84 carries for 308 yards and a touchdown while also securing 12 of 16 targets for 105 yards.

The Packers listed Williams as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report with an ankle injury.

Fellow running back AJ Dillon (quadriceps) was also listed as limited. The Packers will provide another update on Williams' condition when the team practices again Thursday, but so far, there's nothing to suggest that he's in any danger of missing Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers listed Jones as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with finger and calf injuries.

Jones was nursing a quadriceps injury heading into last weekend's divisional-round game in New Orleans, but he ultimately suited up and rushed 13 times for 62 yards in the Buccaneers' win. Though he's now contending with new injuries coming out of that contest, the running back may just have been limited in practice for maintenance purposes ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers.

The Packers listed Dillon (quadriceps) as a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Dillon was forced out of last weekend's divisional-round win over the Rams after handling just six carries (for 27 yards), so it's encouraging to see him already back on the practice field in some capacity. If the rookie running back is able to prove his health in time for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Buccaneers, he'll rank as the third option in a backfield headlined by Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams.

Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Edwards-Helaire was also a limited participant last Wednesday, before downgrading to no participation Thursday and Friday and then being inactive for the Chiefs' divisional-round win over the Browns. He'll likely follow a different routine this week, as Adam Schefter of ESPN suggested the rookie running back was gearing up to play Sunday against the Bills for the first time since Week 15. Coach Andy Reid mentioned Thursday's practice as being especially important to evaluate the team's injured players.

Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

He'll likely be listed as a limited participant in practice in what marks his first involvement of any kind since last Wednesday. The rookie running back hasn't played in a game since suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 15, but a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN last weekend suggested Edwards-Helaire was on track to return for the AFC Championship Game if the Chiefs beat Cleveland in the divisional round. Speaking to the media Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said Thursday's practice will be the most important one for the Chiefs to evaluate their injured players before Sunday's showdown with the Bills.

Barkley (knee) plans to perform his rehab work with Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham this offseason, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The former teammates both suffered ACL tears this past fall, with Barkley having surgery Oct. 30 and Beckham getting his Nov. 10. MCL damage forced Barkley to wait more than a month after the initial injury to have surgery, with doctors then repairing his torn ACL and meniscus. The running back already acknowledged that the meniscus repair could delay the weight-bearing portion of his rehab, making his progress one to monitor throughout spring and summer. Barkley is entering the fourth and final season of his rookie contract, though the Giants can lock him in through 2022 with a fifth-year option, a decision they'll need to make this spring.

Barner (groin) has been designated to return from injured reserve this week, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Barner will now have a 21-day window during which he can be moved to the active roster, as the running back will take the practice field Wednesday. Barner was placed on IR in late December, but only played six offensive snaps on the season before suffering the groin ailment. Still, his return would add depth to Tampa's kick and punt return game.

Moss underwent a minor "tight rope" surgery on his ankle Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

This procedure realigns the ankle to its original position and should help Moss make a full recovery by the beginning of the offseason program. Moss finished the regular season with 112 carries for 481 yards (4.3 YPC) and four touchdowns, adding 14 receptions (18 targets) for 95 yards and a score. The rookie was in a timeshare with Devin Singletary by the end of the year. Singletary, who logged an 84 percent snap share in the divisional-round win over the Ravens, will lead the backfield for the remainder of the Bills' postseason run.
