Gibson (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Washington capped Gibson's practice reps Wednesday due to a shoulder issue, only to clear him for all activity one day later. With his health not in question, he can focus on Sunday's matchup against the Lions, who have allowed a whopping 186.5 yards from scrimmage per game and 15 touchdowns to running backs through eight contests this season.

McCaffrey has a realistic chance to play Week 11 against the Lions following a second opinion on his injured shoulder, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McCaffrey is all but officially ruled out this week against Tampa Bay, with Mike Davis again set to lead the charge in the Carolina backfield. While fantasy managers should consider McCaffrey "week-to-week," this is probably a best-case scenario, as all that was known previously about his AC joint injury was that it wasn't season-ending. McCaffrey's practice participation will be worth closely monitoring heading into next week.

The 49ers signed Walter from their practice squad Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the team's official site reports.

Walter was elevated to the active roster ahead of last week's game against the Packers, and he appears in line for another appearance for Week 10. Both Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (knee) are not expected to play until at least Week 12, so that leaves Jerick McKinnon, JaMycal Hasty and likely Walter to man the running back corps for the next few weeks.

Ozigbo (hamstring) was a nonparticipant during Wednesday's practice, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.

Ozigbo continues to miss practice time with the hamstring issue that has forced him to miss all but one game this season. The team will likely continue to take a cautious approach with the running back, but expect his practice availability the rest of the week paint a clearer picture of his chances to play in Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Taylor (illness) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Chris Mason of Mass Live reports.

Taylor was forced to miss Monday's win over the Jets with the ailment, but he could return in Week 10. His return shouldn't matter much from an offensive perspective, as he remains behind Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead in the team's backfield pecking order.

Breida (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Breida wasn't able to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 9 due to the hamstring injury, but he looks to be making progress toward a return. Wednesday's report is only an estimation, however, so how much Breida is able to do Thursday and Friday will provide a more accurate indication of his health heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Sanders (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Sanders practiced for the first time since suffering a knee injury at the end of a 74-yard run in the Eagles' Oct. 18 loss to the Ravens. He missed the Eagles' last two games as a result, but after a Week 9 bye, Sanders appears to be putting himself in position to return to action. Sanders has two more opportunities to prove his health this week before the Eagles determine whether to give him a designation for Sunday's road contest against the Giants.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Benjamin has recently been a healthy scratch due to his lack of ability to contribute on special teams, Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic reports.

Kingsbury specified that Arizona's third running back needs to be able to play on special teams, which is why D.J. Foster and Jonathan Ward backed up Chase Edmonds last weekend. Benjamin has yet to be made active for a game this season, and Kenyan Drake (ankle) now appears to be nearing a return, so his window of opportunity could be closing.

Harris (chest/ankle) was listed as limited at practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

Harris headed into Week 9 action managing the ankle issue, but it was the chest injury that ended up forcing him out of Monday's win over the Jets. That he was able to practice two days later -- even in a limited fashion -- is a decent sign, but if Harris is at less than 100 percent health heading into the weekend, the Patriots could choose to bring Sony Michel (quadriceps) back from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Jones (calf) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones was listed as limited on each of the Packers' Week 9 injury reports prior to getting the green light to return to action in last Thursday's win at San Francisco. In his return from a two-game absence due to the calf strain, Jones played a normal 61 percent of the snaps on offense, which led to 20 touches for 79 yards. The workload likely was necessitated by the lack of available running backs; both Jamaal Williams (not injury related) and AJ Dillon (illness) were unavailable while residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Williams is back on the active roster, but Dillon remains away from the team as he deals with the illness. As a result, the Packers seem poised to have their top two backs available Sunday against the Jaguars for the first time since Week 6.
