Edmonds is the only healthy running back on the Cardinals' roster, with David Johnson (ankle) listed as questionable and D.J. Foster (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson is considered a game-time decision, with coach Kliff Kingsbury sounding less than optimistic when he spoke to the media Friday afternoon. If Johnson lands on the inactive list before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Edmonds likely will handle a three-down role in a fast-paced offense that seemed to hit its stride the past couple weeks. The Cardinals would need to sign another running back in that scenario, potentially calling up Justin Davis from the practice squad. Meanwhile, the Giants have given up the 10th-most fantasy points to running backs, including 33 catches for 347 yards on 36 targets (9.6 YPT).

Kamara (ankle/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara struggled while playing through an ankle injury last week and picked up a knee ailment somewhere along the way. He was held out of practice each day this week, casting doubt on his status even beyond Week 7. The Saints will turn to Latavius Murray as their lead back Sunday, with Dwayne Washington and Zach Zenner on hand in reserve.

Bawden (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Bawden appeared on Friday's injury report as a limited participant in practice. He seems to have suffered a back injury mid-week. If Bawden is unable to go Week 7, the Lions will have to make due without a healthy fullback on the roster.

Singletary (hamstring) practiced fully Friday for the third straight day and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

It looks like Buffalo's exciting rookie will be back for Week 7 following three absences and a bye week. Singletary has shown an early ability to rip off long gainers, though Frank Gore has been surprisingly excellent at 36 years of age, leaving Singletary in line for single-digit carries in his return to action. We'll see how much of the third-down role he re-takes from veteran T.J. Yeldon.

Walton (thumb) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

The thumb issue limited Walton's participation in practice throughout the week, but the Dolphins were seemingly just exercising caution with the second-year back, who took on an enhanced role in the team's Week 6 loss to the Redskins. Walton played a season-high 32 offensive snaps in the contest, finishing with 32 yards on six carries and another 43 yards on five receptions. At this point, Walton seems to have safely moved ahead of Kalen Ballage in the backfield pecking order, and he could begin to start cutting into Kenyan Drake's workload as well.

Kamara (ankle/knee) isn't on the field for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara could theoretically make an appearance later in the session, but most signs point toward an absence for Sunday's game in Chicago. He was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, leaving Latavius Murray as the lead running back.

Barkley (ankle) logged another full practice Friday and doesn't have a game designation on the final injury report for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

A full participant throughout the week, Barkley has declared himself ready for his usual workload in a prime matchup with the struggling Arizona defense. Coach Pat Shurmur declined to comment on the star running back when he talked to the media after Friday's practice, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record.

Reynolds could be promoted from the Redskins' practice squad for Sunday's game against the 49ers, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Third-down running back Chris Thompson's status is in doubt for Sunday's game due to a toe injury, so Reynolds might be added to the 53-man roster for some additional backfield depth. According to Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic, Reynolds even took some reps with the first-team offense while the team worked on the passing game this week.

Freeman rushed 10 times for 35 yards and a touchdown and secured four of five targets for 32 yards in the Broncos' 30-6 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday.

Freeman opened the scoring on the night with a one-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter, his first score of the season. Freeman also saw five targets for the second consecutive game, and he has at least four receptions in five of his first seven contests of the campaign. Freeman has been a serviceable option in PPR formats due to his dual role, and he'll look to continue producing when and the Broncos face the Colts a week from Sunday in a Week 8 matchup.

Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Broncos, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Thompson doesn't factor into Kansas City's plans on offense with Damien Williams, LeSean McCoy and Darrell Williams all healthy. The rookie sixth-round pick only played snaps on special teams Week 6.
