Swift (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Swift didn't practice Thursday due to a knee injury, which coach Ben Johnson chalked up Friday to the running back "still feeling the effects" from Monday Night Football, per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. After an uncapped session to end Week 4 prep, Swift is in the clear for Sunday's contest, looking to resume the 20.7 touches per game that he's handled through three contests this season.

Davis (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Davis popped up on the injury report Thursday as a full participant, which would suggest he was possibly injured at the end of that practice. If Davis is unable to play Week 4, Ty Johnson and Frank Gore will likely handle the backup duties behind James Cook.

White (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

White missed practice all week and won't suit up in London. Rookie Kaytron Allen and newly-signed Austin Ekeler will spell Jacory Croskey-Merritt out of the Washington backfield against Indianapolis.

Swift (knee) is expected to practice Friday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Head coach Ben Johnson said Swift is still feeling the effects of Monday night's game after he was unable to practice Thursday. With Swift expected to take the field Friday, Johnson said he's optimistic the running back will be able to play Sunday against the Jets. Kyle Monangai could be in line to handle a bigger slice of the pie in the backfield on the short week.

Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Spears (ankle) is trending in the right direction to play Sunday against the Ravens, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Spears got in a limited practice Thursday after being held out Wednesday, and while he "still has some hurdles to clear," according to Saleh, there's a good chance he's available Sunday. Spears has handled just 13 carries for 58 yards through three appearances this season, and he's caught four of six targets for an additional 41 yards.

Hall (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game at Chicago, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

Hall is considered week-to-week and hasn't practiced since making an early exit from last week's loss at Detroit. Braelon Allen will fill in as the Jets' lead back this Sunday, with Isaiah Davis also expected to have a role.

White (shoulder) did not participate in Friday's practice session.

White's shoulder injury prevented him from taking part in Washington's first two practices of the week, and per head coach Dan Quinn it also prevented him from getting any reps Friday. The team has not yet released its final injury report for Week 4, but it's looking like White will be unavailable for Sunday's matchup with the Colts in London.

Judkins rushed 17 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 43 yards in the Browns' 27-24 win over the Steelers on Thursday.

Judkins was in his customary workhorse role in the Browns' ground attack, although as his final rushing line indicates, he found running room hard to come by on most of his carries. Even the second-year back's first rushing touchdown of the season didn't come easy, as Judkins had to power his way in from two yards out in the second quarter. However, he was able to find plenty of success as a receiver, finishing as the team leader in receptions and tying for runner-up status in targets with numbers that also qualified as new career-high figures. Judkins' backfield mates Raheim Sanders and Jaleel McLaughlin combined for just three carries between them -- although the latter took his one tote for a 28-yard touchdown -- so Cleveland's clear lead back will continue to helm the run game in a Week 5 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Warren rushed 17 times for 93 yards and secured three of six targets for 33 yards in the Steelers' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Thursday.

Warren once again had near total control of the Steelers' ground attack, as Rico Dowdle (toe) missed a second consecutive contest. As he'd done in the Week 3 win over the Bengals, Warren capitalized on the opportunity to comfortably eclipse the century mark in total yards. Warren compiled 220 rushing yards and another 82 yards through the air over the last two games while serving as the unquestioned lead back, but if Dowdle is able to make it back for a Week 5 matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 11, the former will see a hit to his touches.

The Saints signed Bentley to their practice squad Thursday.

Bentley spent all of last season with Indianapolis and was with the Colts in training camp this year. He was cut from the team's practice squad in early September and has now gotten a new opportunity with New Orleans. The Saints became in need of backfield depth when Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
