McCaffrey (shoulder) is slated to be a full participant in practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com.

The Panthers will release their first Week 14 practice report later Wednesday, which will reveal whether McCaffrey did in fact take part in the session without any limitations. Assuming that ends up being the case, McCaffrey will be on track to return to action Sunday against the Broncos, spelling an end to his three-game absence.

The Steelers activated Conner (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

With that, Conner is now on track to play Sunday against the Bills after missing Pittsburgh's previous two games. His return to action will be a welcome one after Washington held the Pittsburgh rushing attack to 21 yards on 14 carries Week 13 en route to upsetting the previously unbeaten Steelers.

Swift (illness) will participate in Wednesday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Swift has missed three straight games, two due to a concussion and one due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. He failed to practice in either of the Lions' final two sessions of Week 13, so the fact that he's on the field in any fashion to begin Week 14 prep is a positive sign. The migraines the running back experienced in the aftermath of sustaining his concussion have reportedly subsided, so he looks to be trending to a return to the lineup Sunday against the Packers.

Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Robinson would be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but the running back is expected to be a "full go" ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Marrone didn't cite a specific injury as a reason for Robinson's limitations, but more information on that front should become available when the Jaguars release their first Week 14 practice report later Wednesday. Given that Robinson surpassed the 20-touch mark for the fifth time in six games in last weekend's overtime loss to the Vikings, Marrone may just be looking to give Jacksonville's lead back some extra maintenance.

Gibson is unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers after being diagnosed with turf toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Gibson was removed early in Monday's win over the Steelers with the left foot injury, playing just four snaps and finishing with 14 yards on two carries. Washington doesn't yet have an estimated timeline for Gibson's return, but turf toe injuries often sideline players for multiple games. Assuming Gibson is forced to sit out this weekend's game, J.D. McKissic will likely step into a larger role as Washington's top back, while Peyton Barber would see more work as an inside runner and during short-yardage situations.

Reynolds signed to the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 24-year-old was cut by the Jaguars over the weekend, but he'll remain with the organization on the practice squad after clearing waivers. Reynolds exclusively played special teams in his lone appearance this season.

Edwards ran for 101 yards on seven carries during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.

Baltimore reached 200-plus rush yards for the 12th time since the start of 2019, while also posting the second-highest rushing output of any team this season (294 yards). Edwards was integral to attaining those distinctions, breaking off three runs of 20-plus yards against a Cowboys defense that has conceded more than 260 rushing yards on three different occasions this season. However, he only garnered one more carry than Mark Ingram in Ingram's return from a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Nevertheless, with an explosive performance in Week 13, Edwards seems poised to maintain a significant role for the stretch run.

Dobbins collected 71 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.

Baltimore dominated the Cowboys' porous rush defense, with Gus Edwards (101), Lamar Jackson (94) and Dobbins helping the Ravens become the second team since the start of last season to have three different players hit 70-plus rushing yards in a game, per NFL Research. The return of Mark Ingram from the reserve/COVID-19 list did not have a notably detrimental impact on Dobbins' workload, with the veteran garnering just six carries against the Cowboys. Dobbins has fielded double-digit carries in four of his past five games, as the Ravens head into a Week 14 matchup against a Cleveland defense that held Derrick Henry to 60 yards and zero TDs over the back's 15 carries Sunday.

Elliott rushed 18 times for 77 yards and secured four of six targets for 18 yards in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.

Elliott got off to a strong start in the first half but saw his opportunities on the ground diminish as Dallas fell further behind. His reception tally was his highest since Week 6, when he garnered eight grabs versus the Cardinals. Elliott has topped 75 rushing yards twice in the last three games, so fantasy managers heading into their playoffs will hope he's able to keep the momentum going in a highly favorable Week 14 road matchup against the Bengals.

Thompson didn't play any offensive snaps during Sunday's 22-16 win over the Broncos.

Thompson has 13 carries for 52 yards this season but hasn't played a single offensive snap since Week 8. The 23-year-old should be limited to special teams while Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Le'Veon Bell and Darrel Williams handle the backfield work.
