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.

Pollard had three carries for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-22 road defeat to the Jets.

After the Cowboys' Week 5 loss to the Packers, Pollard dealt with knee and ankle injuries, but his practice reps weren't affected, and he entered this past weekend without a designation. Still, he didn't make much headway on the ground for a third consecutive game behind workhorse Ezekiel Elliott, who received 28 totes and six targets Sunday. Without an injury to Elliott, Pollard will have difficulty making more than a negligible mark in the box score most weeks.

Edwards carried the ball six times for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-17 win against the Bengals.

Aside from a 25-yard run in the second quarter, none of Edwards' other five rushes went for more than three yards. The lengthy dash was his longest of the season and helped him surpass 30 yards on the ground for the third time in six games. Despite his presence in the Ravens' top-ranked run offense, Edwards is a distant third in the pecking order behind Mark Ingram and quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Thompson did not play an offensive snap in Week 6 versus the Texans, logging just 11 special teams snaps.

Thompson didn't record any return yardage either, leaving his value at an all-time low in the last few weeks. The rookie back is likely nothing more than a dynasty stash at this point, though it could change if injuries hit the position.
