Henry rushed 17 times for 238 yards and four touchdowns in the Titans' 30-9 win over the Jaguars on Thursday.

Henry's night for the ages came out of nowhere, as he'd failed to even hit 60 rushing yards in any game prior this season and had tallied just 70 combined yards over the prior pair of contests. Henry's impressive size/speed combo was on full display throughout the night, including on his record-tying 99-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The 2016 second-round pick added scoring scampers of three, 16 and 54 yards, allowing him to single-handedly dismantle a surprisingly vulnerable Jaguars defense while setting a new franchise record for single-game rushing yardage. Despite his otherworldly performance Thursday, the division of labor in the Titans backfield between Henry and Dion Lewis will likely remain difficult to trust on a weekly basis for what remains of the regular season. Henry will look to somehow put together a fitting encore in a Week 15 battle against the Giants on Dec. 16.

Cunningham (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Cunningham sat out last week's loss to the Giants and was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he now appears to have fully recovered from his ankle injury. The kick returner is on track to suit up for the Week 14 tilt against the Rams.

Gordon (knee) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Sam Fortier of The Athletic reports.

With no activity in back-to-back practices to kick off Week 14, Gordon's chances of returning from a one-game absence don't appear promising. Before officially ruling on his status, the Chargers will wait and see what Gordon is able to do in their final practice of the week Friday, but there hasn't been much indication that the running back has made much noteworthy progress. Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson look poised to head the Los Angeles backfield again this weekend against the Bengals.

Drake (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Drake repeated his level of participation from a day earlier and could be restricted again in the Dolphins' final session of the week Friday, as the team has been reluctant to expose him to contact during their recent practices. It ultimately shouldn't impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Patriots, as Drake failed to practice in full capacity at any point last Wednesday through Friday before avoiding an injury designation heading into the Dolphins' eventual 21-17 win over the Bills in Week 13.

Mixon (foot) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Mixon may need to practice fully Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, but he probably would have been withheld entirely from sessions Wednesday and Thursday if there was truly significant concern about the health of his foot. Assuming he ultimately receives clearance to play this weekend, Mixon should be on tap to fill his usual duties as the Bengals' lead option out of the backfield, though his workload on the ground could be depressed more than normal if the heavily favored Chargers race out to a big lead early on.

Mixon (foot) was spotted at practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Mixon was listed as limited Wednesday, but his presence at practice Thursday suggests that his foot issue is something that is being managed, as opposed to being the result of a practice setback. We'll circle back on his status later Thursday to see how the Bengals list his level of participation.

Ogunbowale signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

The reserve running back and kick returner makes a quick return to Tampa, landing back on the practice squad after having just been released last Friday. Ogunbowale was active in Weeks 11 and 12 against the Giants and 49ers, logging just two snaps from scrimmage but 35 on special teams. The 24-year-old amassed 134 kick return yards versus New York, and he'd likely be used in the same capacity were he to be called up to the active roster again at any point over the final four games.

Coach Bill O'Brien said that Foreman ran well and looked healthy during his three-week rehab window and could potentially help the Texans, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

Foreman was activated off the Reserve/PUP list Wednesday and will be available for the Texans in Week 14 against Indianapolis. However, reading between the lines of O'Brien's comments, it doesn't sound like Foreman will replace Alfred Blue as the No. 2 back immediately. "The reason why we brought him up is that we feel like maybe eventually, whether it's this week, next week, some week, he can help us win a game so we felt like it was a good decision for our team." O'Brien said Wednesday. The combination of Lamar Miller and Blue has powered a running attack that ranks second in the NFL at 140.8 yards per game, including an average of 172.3 over the last six games.

Coach Jon Gruden said the decision to sign Anderson on Tuesday was partially a product of Doug Martin's knee injury, Matt Schneidman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Alas, Martin was a full participant at Wednesday's practice and now looks like a strong bet to play Sunday against Pittsburgh. The Raiders may still carve out some carries for Anderson over the final four games, but it wouldn't be wise to count on any significant volume coming his way this weekend.

Martin (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle previously relayed there might be some uncertainty regarding Martin's Week 14 status after the team signed fellow running back C.J. Anderson on Tuesday. However, Martin's full participation in the Raiders' first session of the week suggests that he'll be good to go Sunday versus the Steelers. That said, it will still be worth monitoring Martin's situation in the event his reps are limited either Thursday or Friday.
