Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Limited with ankle injury
Gordon (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon managed to play through his ankle injury during Miami's win over the Bills in Week 10, though he was relegated to the No. 3 backfield role behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. If Gordon is able to upgrade to full practice reps prior to Sunday's matchup against the Commanders in Madrid, he could again overtake Wright for the top backup gig.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | WAS
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Opens Week 11 with full practice
Rodriguez (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Rodriguez was forced out of Washington's loss to the Lions in Week 10 early due to a shoulder injury, but he already appears back to full health as the Commanders prepare to face off against the Dolphins in Madrid on Sunday. Prior to departing versus Detroit, Rodriguez rushed six times for 16 yards and one touchdown. Barring any setbacks, expect Rodriguez to again split backfield opportunities with Jacory Croskey-Merritt versus Miami.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Spotted at practice Wednesday
Irving (shoulder/foot) is participating in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Irving has not played since Week 4, so though he's still reportedly expected to sit out Sunday on the road against Buffalo, it's encouraging to see the second-year pro finally back on the practice field, even for a walkthrough session. Head coach Todd Bowles indicated Monday that Irving's shoulder injury is currently holding him back more than his foot issue, so it will be notable to see whether he's still listed with both injuries on Wednesday's practice report. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will lead Tampa Bay's backfield versus Buffalo if Irving is indeed unable to suit up Week 11.

Emanuel Wilson RB | GB
Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Garners two touches in loss
Wilson rushed once for two yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.
Wilson continued to operate as the Packers' primary backup running back, playing just 14 of Green Bay's 68 offensive snaps in the contest. Starter Josh Jacobs played 50 snaps and handled 26 touches as the preferred backfield option against Philadelphia. Going forward, Wilson should be considered nothing more than an insurance policy in the event Jacobs misses time with an injury down the stretch. The Packers are set to visit the Giants in Week 11.
-
Christopher Brooks RB | GB
Packers' Chris Brooks: Not involved against Eagles
Brooks failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.
Brooks was a complete nonfactor Monday night, playing just six of the Packers' 68 offensive snaps in the contest. The third-year running back has not handled a single carry for the past for games and is averaging a 12 percent offensive snap share this season. Brooks remains far off the fantasy radar based on his limited usage as the No. 3 running back behind starter Josh Jacobs and backup Emanuel Wilson. Next up for the Packers is a Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: Season-high six touches
Shipley rushed four times for 17 yards and caught a pair of passes for 17 more yards in Monday's win over the Packers.
Both Shipley's carries and catches represented season highs, but the overall picture was still quite a minor role for Shipley. He did at least see the field for 12 offensive snaps (another season high and four more than Tank Bigsby managed), but his pathway to becoming a significant part of the Eagles' offense is hard to envision as long as Saquon Barkley remains healthy.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Role shrinks with Barkley healthy
Bigsby gained seven yards on three carries in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.
He rushed for 104 yards in Week 9 after Saquon Barkley left early with a groin injury, but with the Eagles' lead back healthy again following a bye week, Bigsby had very little to do in Week 11. Bigsby also saw a smaller workload than fellow depth RB Will Shipley, who played 12 offensive snaps and had six touches compared to Bigsby's six and three.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Remains limited Tuesday
Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Jennings played just five offensive snaps before being forced out of a Week 10 win over the Buccaneers. Though he was active enough to be listed as limited on the injury report for the second day in a row, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com noted that Jennings was spotted working out on a side field during the media-access portion of Tuesday's session, making it unclear whether the running back actually mixed into drills. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was also listed as limited and was seen working out on the side, so the availability of both backs for Thursday's game against the Jets is uncertain. With Stevenson missing his second game in a row in Week 10 and Jennings exiting the contest early, rookie TreVeyon Henderson took full advantage as he amassed 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches to perhaps earn himself a larger role even after the New England backfield is back to full strength.

Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ
Jets' Khalil Herbert: Estimated as full Tuesday
Herbert (groin) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Herbert has appeared in just two games this season, logging 17 snaps on special teams. He's far off the fantasy radar.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Turns in limited practice
The Patriots listed Stevenson (toe) as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Though Stevenson went down as a limited participant for the second day in a row, it's unclear how extensively he mixed into drills with his teammates. According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, Stevenson and fellow running back Terrell Jennings (knee) were spotted working out off to the side during the portion of Tuesday's session that was open to the media. Given that Stevenson's toe injury has already kept him out for two games, he may be hard-pressed to gain clearance on a short week, and his snaps could be limited if he does suit up. TreVeyon Henderson (knee) turned in a full practice Tuesday and profiles as the preferred fantasy option among New England running backs for Week 11 after he accounted for 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
