Mostert missed Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The extent of the knee injury isn't known, but coach Kyle Shanahan termed it a "sprain" or "strain," per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. With Mostert's status in question for Sunday's contest at Washington, the door may be open for Jeff Wilson to rejoin the 49ers' running back rotation alongside Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman.

Kamara (ankle/knee) did not practice Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara suffered a knee injury Week 6 versus the Jaguars and came into the contest dealing with a high ankle issue, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The star running back has expressed some optimism that he'll be available Sunday against the Bears, but he'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday for any chance of taking the field Week 7. In the event that Kamara is forced to miss any time, Latavius Murray would likely draw the start for New Orleans. The team also opted to sign Zach Zenner as a reserve option Wednesday.

Walton was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a thumb injury, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Walton likely picked up the injury at some point during the Week 6 loss to the Redskins, during which he accrued a career-high 75 yards on 11 touches. It's encouraging that he wasn't held out of practice entirely, and Walton will have two opportunities to upgrade to a full practice before Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Zenner agreed to a contract with the Saints on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

For the second week in a row, Alvin Kamara is dealing with an ankle injury, so the Saints opted to bolster the backfield by bringing in Zenner. In 36 appearances across four seasons with the Lions, Zenner averaged 3.9 yards per carry and hauled in 27 of 37 targets.

Barkley (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Barkley's full participation offers a strong sign that he'll be ready to go for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals after missing the previous three games due to a high-ankle sprain. Tight end Evan Engram (knee) was also listed as a full participant Wednesday, so rookie quarterback Daniel Jones will likely benefit from the return of two of his top weapons Week 7.

Singletary (hamstring) will be a full practice participant Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

The rookie seemed close to playing Week 5 in Tennessee, so it's no surprise to see him cleared for full practice participation after a Week 6 bye. Singletary returns to action in a favorable spot, with the Bills hosting a Miami defense that's given up the second-most fantasy points (28.7 per game) to running backs. Singletary's expected return could leave T.J. Yeldon without much of a role, in addition to taking a few touches away from Frank Gore.

Barkley (ankle) is going through individual drills at the beginning of Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The same goes for Evan Engram (knee) and Sterling Shepard (concussion), with the Giants looking to get back to full strength for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Each of the three are likely headed for a "limited" designation on the Wednesday practice report, but it isn't out of the question for Barkley or one of the others to log a full practice.

Hill ran for 31 yards on five carries during Sunday's 23-17 win over Cincinnati.

Hill's 31 total yards set a season high. The total was fueled by three runs of at least six yards after not having such a run in four consecutive weeks. Hill is in a very crowded backfield with Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards that is made all the more tight with the running ability of Lamar Jackson. Hill might not get many carries, but could break a few against a Seahawks team surrendering 4.7 yards per carry, 22nd in the league.

Newsome was placed on the Chargers practice squad's injured list Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

It is currently unclear what injury Newsome is dealing with. If his health were to eventually improve, he could reach an injury settlement with the team. However, he would not be able to join the Chargers' active roster this season if that were to come to fruition.

Kamara is dealing with an ankle issue that will limit him in practice this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Pelissero would specify that it's a "high ankle issue" that Kamara is dealing with, which is usually more serious than a normal ankle injury. Kamara battled through the ankle injury as well as a knee issue during Sunday's win over Jacksonville, limiting his rushing output to just 31 yards. The 2017 third-round pick still thinks he has a shot to play in Sunday's game against the Bears, but his status for Sunday seems murky at this point in the week. Latavius Murray would be in line for an uptick in his workload should Kamara sit out.
