Ali (concussion) logged a full practice session Friday.

Ali suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Browns and was a limited participant Thursday. While his full practice Friday is a positive sign, he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol before being cleared for Monday's matchup against the Lions.

Walker is in line to be the Seahawks' unquestioned top running back Sunday against the Saints due to Zach Charbonnet (foot) being listed as doubtful for that contest, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Charbonnet wasn't able to practice at all during Week 3 prep due to a foot injury, and the aforementioned listing doesn't give him much leeway to be available Sunday. He actually received the greater share of the offensive snaps between the two in Seattle's first two games, but both players sit at 27 touches on the season. Walker has been far more effective with them, accounting for 142 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD to Charbonnet's 57 yards and one score on the ground. Assuming Charbonnet is deemed inactive ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Walker would draw the start, while George Holani (no offensive snaps in 2025) and potentially practice-squad member Jacardia Wright (no NFL snaps to speak of) would be on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Mullings (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Mullings was inactive in Week 2 after suffering an ankle injury in his regular-season debut. He logged a trio of limited practices leading up to Tennessee's Week 3 matchup, suggesting he has a reasonable chance to play. If he is able to suit up, Mullings will likely see most of his snaps on special teams.

Judkins could see an uptick in snaps during Sunday's game against the Packers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

In his season debut in a 41-17 loss to the Ravens in Week 2, Judkins was in Cleveland's starting lineup en route to recording 20 snaps and carrying 10 times for 61 yards and catching all three of his targets for 10 yards. The 2025 second-round pick was out-snapped in the contest by Jerome Ford (35 snaps, six carries and five catches), while fellow rookie Dylan Sampson (17 snaps, four carries and three catches) also mixed in. Per Jackson, while the Browns likely will continue rotating their running backs situationally, Judkins -- who didn't sign his rookie contract until Sept. 6 -- is a candidate to see his role increase this weekend now that he has one game under his belt.

Jacobs (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Jacobs never made the upgrade to full practice participation but at least took part in a limited capacity this week. He should stay busy Sunday with the Packers heavily favored to win, although Cleveland's one distinct strength so far this season has been shutting down the run. If nothing else, Jacobs is always a strong bet to rack up volume and score a touchdown.

Tuten (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.

Tuten was limited in practice this week, but he's done enough to avoid a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. He should again operate as the Jaguars' RB2 behind Travis Etienne with Tank Bigsby out of the picture.

Shipley (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Shipley left the Eagles' season-opening win against the Cowboys with a rib injury that eventually was reclassified as an oblique issue on Week 2 injury reports. He missed all three sessions last week before Philadelphia ruled him out, but he was able practice in a limited capacity this Thursday and Friday before a decision was made regarding his Week 3 availability. As long as Shipley is sidelined, AJ Dillon should handle most of the RB reps that don't go to starter Saquon Barkley, as Tank Bigsby didn't play any offensive snaps in his Eagles debut this past Sunday in Kansas City.

Charbonnet (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Kenneth Walker thus projects for a huge workload in a game the Seahawks are heavily favored to win. Third-stringer George Holani should also get some playing time Sunday, with either Damien Martinez or Jacardia Wright potentially called up from the practice squad. Charbonnet didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and doesn't seem likely to do much, if anything, Friday. The schedule does him no favors here, with Seattle's next game coming just four days later, Thursday night at Arizona.

Swift (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Swift was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, never quite progressing to 'full'. More information may be available throughout the weekend, but fantasy managers should at least consider the possibility of a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Kyle Monangai was Chicago's No. 2 running back for the past two games, while Roschon Johnson missed Week 1 with a foot injury and then strictly played special teams in a Week 2 blowout loss.

Tracy (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

With that out of the way, Tracy's main concerns for Week 3 are a matchup with Kansas City's tough run defense and the likelihood that rookie Cam Skattebo takes a lot of backfield work. Skattebo didn't play much in a Week 1 loss to Washington, but he did get the lone goal-line carry in that game, before leading New York's backfield in snaps, carries and touches during the Week 2 overtime loss at Dallas. Tracy took 42 percent of snaps in the dramatic defeat, with five carries for 15 yards and four receptions for 36 yards. There's no guarantee his workload is any better come Sunday night.
