Clement was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Upon discovering Thursday morning that a player within the organization tested positive for COVID-19, Philadelphia shifted a total of five players to the inactive list -- including fellow depth skill-position players J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and John Hightower. The 26-year-old Clement has not been heavily integrated into the offense this season, collecting 19 rush attempts and four receptions over his nine appearances. He missed 12 games last year after being placed on IR with a shoulder injury.

Homer (wrist/knee/thumb) is listed as inactive Thursday versus the Cardinals.

Homer is extremely banged up at the moment, tending to wrist, knee and thumb concerns. He'll join Chris Carson (foot) on the sideline, leaving the Seahawks backfield to Carlos Hyde, DeeJay Dallas and Bo Scarbrough.

Williams (illness) didn't practice Thursday.

The same goes for Clyde Edwards-Helaire, which resulted in Le'Veon Bell and Darwin Thompson being the only Kansas City running backs to practice Thursday. Added updates regarding the Week 11 status of the duo that missed practice due to illness should arrive no later than Friday.

Leake signed with Washington's practice squad Thursday.

The Maryland product had his most recent opportunity with the Giants in training camp, but he ultimately did not show enough to carve out a spot on the team's 53-man roster or practice squad. Now provided with an opportunity for divisional rival Washington, Leake stands as a developmental RB option while Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber split positional duties on the active roster.

Edwards-Helaire missed practice Thursday due to an illness, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

The same applies to fellow running back Darrel Williams, and as a result, Le'Veon Bell and Darwin Thompson were the only Kansas City running backs to practice Thursday. We'll look for added clarity regarding Edwards-Helaire's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders no later than Friday upon the release of the team's final Week 11 injury report.

Robinson (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

So far we haven't heard anything to suggest that Robinson is in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Steelers, but a full practice on his part Friday no doubt would ease the concerns of fantasy managers who are counting on the running back this weekend.

Coach Matt Rhule said Thursday that he doesn't know when McCaffrey (shoulder) will be able to return, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

McCaffrey is set to miss a second consecutive contest due to the AC joint injury he suffered back on Nov. 8. Rhule noted, "No one knows their body better than Christian," and the running back will be cleared when he and team doctors collectively believe he's ready to suit up again. There's no telling when McCaffrey will take part in practice, but with no reps under his belt this week. the Panthers are poised to lean on Mike Davis out of the backfield yet again.

Kamara (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Kamara was absent from the start of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but after being limited in the first session he didn't log any reps at all in the most recent one. Fortunately for Kamara, he has one more practice to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest against the Falcons. If the Saints ultimately decide to rest Kamara, Latavius Murray is next up for work out of the backfield.

Swift didn't practice Thursday after being diagnosed with a concussion.

Swift wasn't included on the Lions' initial Week 11 injury report that was released Wednesday, but he may have either picked up the concussion in practice that day or experienced delayed symptoms of the head injury coming out of last weekend's win over Washington. Whatever the case, Swift's entry into the NFL's five-step concussion protocol this late in the week will make it difficult for him to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, a disappointing development after the rookie appeared to lock down a three-down role by compiling 147 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown Week 10. Adrian Peterson and Kerryon Johnson would likely split reps out of the backfield if Swift isn't able to suit up in Carolina.

Kamara (foot) wasn't spotted at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara kicked off Wednesday's session in a similar fashion, but he still received a 'limited' tag once the Saints released their first Week 11 injury report. Thursday's report ultimately will reveal whether or not he was able to practice.
