Harris is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

With James White unavailable Sunday, Harris will suit up for his first regular-season game as a pro. The rookie could see some touches working behind lead back Sony Michel, but we'd expect Rex Burkhead to be the player who absorbs the bulk of White's usual change-of-pace duties.

Mack (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

The statuses of both Mack and top wideout T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) were muddled heading into Sunday after injuries limited the duo in practice this week, but the two playmakers received the green light to play upon making it through pregame warmups without incident. Mack enters the Week 3 contest at less than optimal health, but the Colts haven't provided any clear indication his workload will be impacted because of it. The 23-year-old handled 20-plus carries in both of the first two games of the season and has played 71.8 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps.

Mack (calf) is listed as questionable but is likely to play Sunday against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. However, the Colts want to test Mack in pregame warmups before a decision on his status is made.

Mack missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but was able to return Friday -- albeit in a limited fashion -- offering hope that he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's contest. If he's unable to go or is limited this weekend, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins would be next up for touches out of the Colts' backfield.

Penny, who injured his hamstring during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Penny's injury is not considered serious, but Schefter notes Seattle wants to be cautious with the second-year back while he manages the injury. Assuming Penny is included among Seattle's inactives when the team releases its list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. EDT kickoff, C.J. Prosise would be the next man up for reps behind starter Chris Carson.

Thompson should experience an uptick in work with Damien Williams (knee) ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

In addition to Williams, who is dealing with a knee contusion, expected starting running back LeSean McCoy is listed as questionable for this contest due to an ankle issue. Assuming McCoy is active Sunday, the Chiefs may spread out the snaps among the available backs in order to ease the workload on the veteran. If McCoy joins Williams on the inactive list, Thompson and Darrel Williams will be the only RB options available to an explosive offense. In his sole season at Utah State last year, Thompson racked up 1,395 yards from scrimmage and 16 touchdowns on 176 touches.

Williams (foot) is expected to make his NFL debut Sunday versus the Bills.

Williams was extremely productive for Texas A&M, racking up 2,038 total yards and 19 touchdowns. He missed the first two games with a foot injury, and his opportunities will likely be few behind Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard.

Penny injured his hamstring during Friday's practice and now is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

The last-second injury doesn't give Penny much time to recover, potentially opening the door for C.J. Prosise or Travis Homer to see a bit of extra work behind Chris Carson. The bigger impact of a Penny absence might simply be for the Seahawks to give Carson even more touches than he usually gets.

Jacobs (groin/hip) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings after practicing fully Friday.

The running back's return to a full practice Friday sets the stage for him to move past groin and hip issues, as well as an illness that led to him dropping weight, in order to head the Raiders' Week 3 backfield. We'd expect the team to give him all the early-down work he can handle Sunday, while Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington remain on hand to serve as backup/change-of-pace options.

Williams (ankle) doesn't have a designation on the final injury report for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Added to the report Thursday as a limited participant, Williams upgraded to a full session to close out the week. He'll handle his usual role in the Green Bay backfield behind lead runner Aaron Jones.

Williams (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

Williams was a full participant in Thursday's and Friday's practices, so it appears he has a good shot to play Sunday. The fourth-year pro could be called upon for a respectable workload if Marlon Mack (calf) is ruled out, although Jordan Wilkins may be next in line behind Nyheim Hines.
