Jacobs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after logging limited practices both Thursday and Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com

Jacobs sat out Wednesday's session, but the fact that he practiced Thursday and Friday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- would seem to bode well for his Week 14 availability. Final confirmation of the running back's status will arrive once the Raiders inactives are released in advance of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Murray (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

Murray was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant before returning to a full session Friday. He's generally been more involved in the offense with Taysom Hill at quarterback, but Murray got just five carries and two targets in the Week 13 win over Atlanta.

Drake (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, with coach Kliff Kingsbury suggesting he expects the running back to play, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Drake was added to the injury report Thursday, logging back-to-back limited practices to close out the week. He should be fine to handle his usual backfield role, taking the majority of carries while Chase Edmonds gets most of the playing time on passing snaps. Edmonds would be in line for a three-down workload if Drake makes an unexpected appearance on the inactive list before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Swift (illness) was a full practice participant Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Interim coach Darrell Bevell said Swift has been making progress, culminating in his first full practice since Wednesday of Week 11. The rookie broke out for 149 yards from scrimmage on a season-high 73-percent snap share the last time he suited up, but it's possible he slides back into a committee after missing three straight games. Swift at least appears on track to play, be it as a three-down workhorse or as part of a timeshare. The Packers and Lions are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, with Detroit needing to pull off the upset to have any realistic shot at competing for a wild-card spot.

Elliott (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, but he's expected to play, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Even with Tony Pollard getting a bit more work in recent weeks, Elliott reached 20 touches in four of the past five games. He's scored just one touchdown and averaged 3.8 YPC since Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending knee injury, but Elliott has a good matchup this week, and his workload remains among the safest in the league.

Gibson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Gibson never returned to the game after his first-quarter exit Monday against the Steelers. He then missed practice Wednesday through Friday, with the lack of participation suggesting he could miss time beyond Week 14. Washington figures to split backfield work between J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber this weekend, with the former likely handling more snaps and targets, while the latter is a better bet for early down carries and goal-line work. McKissic looks like the superior fantasy play, as he'd been getting a lot of targets from Alex Smith even before Gibson was hobbled by turf toe.

Robinson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

The 22-year-old was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday due to the knee issue, but it won't affect his availability for Sunday's divisional matchup. Robinson had 16 carries for 102 yards and one touchdown while catching three passes for 18 yards during the loss to Tennessee in Week 2, and his role in the offense has continued to grow since that early season contest.

Gaskin (knee) will not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Gaskin was limited in practice with a knee issue this week, but it never appeared as though his status for Sunday's matchup was in any real doubt. The second-year pro has handled a workhorse role for the Dolphins whenever healthy this season, to the tune of 23 total touches in his first game back from IR last weekend. Unless Matt Breida (illness) can return from the COVID-19 list by Saturday, it looks like DeAndre Washington will serve as Gaskins' primary backup this weekend.

McCaffrey (thigh/shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Denver, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

The plan for McCaffrey to return from his shoulder injury after a Week 13 bye was spoiled by the addition of a thigh/quad injury. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday before being held out entirely Thursday and Friday. Mike Davis now is set for at least one more week in the lead backfield role, with Rodney Smith and Trenton Cannon potentially getting some work off the bench. The Panthers will be on a tightened schedule next week, preparing for a Saturday game against the Packers.

Ahmed (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Ahmed will be forced to miss his third straight game due to a lingering shoulder injury. DeAndre Washington (hamstring) thus could be primed to serve as the No. 2 option behind Myles Gaskin (knee), assuming that both backs gain clearance to face the Chiefs. The Dolphins also have Patrick Laird and Lynn Bowden around as depth options.
