Mixon (foot) won't practice Thursday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Considering Mixon hasn't even been able to resume practicing on a limited basis since picking up the injury in an Oct. 18 loss to the Colts, he's seemingly trending toward missing his fourth straight game this Sunday in Washington. Before ruling on his status for the weekend, the Bengals will wait and see if Mixon is able to fit in any on-field activity at Friday's practice. Giovani Bernard would be in line for another start if Mixon ends up being ruled out for Week 11.

Harris (chest/ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Harris was limited at practice throughout last week before rushing 22 times for 121 yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens. With no reported setbacks in that contest, his limitations to begin Week 11 were probably maintenance-related. The Patriots have yet to decide whether Sony Michel (quadriceps) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of this weekend's game against the Texans, but with the way he's been running of late, Harris seems likely to continue headlining New England's ground game. Harris' limited involvement in the team's passing game means that his fantasy utility going forward hinges on him seeing double-digit carries weekly and making the occasional trip to the end zone.

Robinson logged a limited practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Robinson was the only Jaguars player to register a carry in Sunday's loss to the Packers, rushing 23 times for 109 yards in addition to catching two passes for three yards. Given that hefty workload, Robinson may just have been getting some much-deserved maintenance Wednesday, but fantasy managers will still want to check in on his activity during the Jaguars' final two practices of Week 11. If he can move past the shoulder injury to play this weekend against the Steelers, Robinson should once again dominate the snaps and touches out of the backfield.

Breida (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Breida was a full participant in practice for the first time since sustaining a hamstring injury Week 8, putting him on track to play Sunday against the Broncos. With top back Myles Gaskin (knee) on injured reserve for at least one more game, Breida could be in store for a larger role than he's normally seen this season, but he'll still have to fend off undrafted rookie Salvon Ahmed for carries. Ahmed thrived in the bellcow role in last weekend's win over the Chargers, so it's possible that Breida will be relegated to a complementary gig Week 11 if coach Brian Flores prefers to ride the hotter hand.

Drake (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game at Seattle, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Drake had his practice reps capped in each session last week before he returned to action for Sunday's win over the Bills. In that contest, he racked up 109 yards from scrimmage on 17 touches. This week, Drake was listed as a limited participant on the Cardinals' first two practice reports before upgrading to full activity Wednesday. Assuming he's all the way back on the health front, Drake should be poised to handle an offensive snap share between 65 and 70 percent, instead of the 52 percent he handled Week 10.

Kamara was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.

Kamara initially appeared in danger of missing Wednesday's session entirely, but the running back was apparently able to get some activity in during the portion of the practice that was closed to the media. The Saints are preparing to roll without Drew Brees (chest) for at least the next two games, so Kamara could have the chance to take on more volume as a ballcarrier than normal in the short term, assuming he gains clearance for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Elliott (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Prior to the session, Elliott worked out with a trainer before joining his teammates, according to Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. Afterward, he told Gehlken that his hamstring is "a little stiff" and "something that I'm working on every day." Having said that, Elliott handled every practice rep Wednesday, indicating he intends to gut out the issue during this weekend's game in Minnesota.

Homer (wrist/knee/thumb) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Homer's long list of injuries will more than likely keep him sidelined Week 11, but the Seahawks should get some reinforcement at running back with Carlos Hyde (hamstring) set to return from a three-game absence. Meanwhile, top back Chris Carson (foot) is listed as questionable after missing the past three contests, with Seattle viewing him as a game-time call for Thursday night. Considering Carson and Hyde have slotted ahead of him on the depth chart all season, Homer will likely have a minimal role whenever he's deemed fit to play again.

Kamara wasn't present at the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The Saints are missing two key players at Wednesday's practice, with both Kamara and Drew Brees (chest) sidelined. Brees is set to miss at least two weeks due to his injuries, but the Saints may not provide an update on Kamara's situation until the team releases its first Week 11 injury report later Wednesday.

McFarland (illness) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

McFarland came down with a non-COVID-19-related illness prior to last week's win over Cincinnati and ended up sitting out, but he has evidently recovered from the ailment. The rookie will be in the mix for change-of-pace work behind top back James Conner in Sunday's game in Jacksonville.
