Kamara (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara has been held out of all drills since sustaining an adductor injury Week 15 against the Commanders, but interim coach Darren Rizzi told John Hendrix of SI.com on Thursday that the running back was in the midst of rehab and in "good spirits." Such comments don't exactly shed light on Kamara's prospects for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, but Friday's practice report may provide some clarity on that front. Kendre Miller, Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims are on hand in the event Kamara requires another absence this weekend.

Shipley (concussion) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Shipley was diagnosed with a concussion following the Eagles' Week 16 loss to the Commanders. His inability to practice Thursday indicates that he is facing an uphill battle to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. The Eagles signed Lew Nichols to the practice squad Thursday, and he could be elevated to the active roster to serve as the No. 3 running back behind Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell if Shipley is unable to play Sunday.

Pollard (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Pollard will go down as a non-participant for the seventh time on the Titans' last eight practice reports, but the running back has yet to miss a game. However, after sitting out all three of the Titans' sessions last week before taking a questionable tag into the weekend, Pollard played a season-low 40 percent of the offensive snaps in a 38-30 loss to the Colts. Even if Pollard is able to suit up again this Sunday in Jacksonville, he could once again find himself in a timeshare out of the backfield with Tyjae Spears, who played the other 60 percent of snaps last week and scored two touchdowns while accounting for 66 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches (10 carries, three receptions).

The Seahawks placed Walker (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Walker already was ruled out for Thursday's game at Chicago due to an ankle injury that he sustained in the second half of this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but he'll now be out Week 18 and for any playoff matchups that Seattle would have before the NFC Championship Game, assuming the team qualifies and makes it that far. In the meantime, Zach Charbonnet will pace the Seahawks backfield while Kenny McIntosh backs him up.

Patterson rushed once for two yards during Wednesday's 29-10 loss to Kansas City.

Patterson was on the field for just one offensive snap Wednesday, and he had minimal production on his lone carry. The 33-year-old has played single-digit snaps on offense in four consecutive weeks, and he's rushed seven times for 14 yards while securing all three of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during that time.

Hubbard practiced in a limited capacity Thursday due to a knee injury.

Hubbard was listed as a non-participant on the Panthers' first Week 17 injury report Wednesday with rest, so it's unclear if his practice restrictions a day later are related to maintenance or indicative of a potential health concern suffered during Thursday's session. Friday's practice report could provide clarity on that front for a running back that's coming off his fourth 100-yard rushing performance of the campaign this past Sunday against the Cardinals.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Guerendo (foot/hamstring) will be limited at Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

As Shanahan projected Monday, Guerendo is returning to the practice field for the first time since Week 15 prep, which is a good sign after he sat out Week 16 in Miami due to foot and hamstring injuries. If Guerendo is able to make it through the week unscathed and suit up Monday against the Lions, he'd provide a boost for a 49ers backfield that will be without Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) in Week 17.

The Chargers list Dobbins (knee) as questionable for Saturday's game against the Patriots.

Los Angeles has ruled out Gus Edwards (ankle) for Saturday, but Dobbins' potential return would provide a lift to a Chargers backfield that currently has just two healthy options on the 53-man roster (Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins). After being designated for return from injured reserve Monday, Dobbins was listed as a limited participant in the Chargers' first two Week 17 practices before working fully Friday, which represented his first on-field work since suffering an MCL sprain in his left knee during the team's 30-23 loss to the Ravens on Nov. 25. In order to be eligible to play Saturday, the Chargers would first activate Dobbins from IR ahead of Friday's 4 p.m. ET deadline for Week 17 transactions. If added back to the roster, Dobbins would presumably work as the lead option out of the backfield, while Vidal and Haskins remain in their depth roles.

The Chargers have ruled Edwards (ankle) out for Saturday's game against the Patriots.

Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, head coach Jim Harbaugh said that Edwards emerged from the Chargers' Week 16 win over the Broncos with the ankle injury, then aggravated it in practice earlier this week, causing him to sit out sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Given that Edwards previously missed four games earlier this season while on injured reserve due to another ankle issue, the Chargers' decision to hold him out for Saturday's contest isn't especially surprising. His absence currently leaves Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins as the lone healthy options at running back on the active roster, though J.K. Dobbins (knee) -- who is listed as questionable -- could be activated from IR ahead of Saturday's game and settle back in as Los Angeles' lead option out of the backfield.

The Seahawks signed Holani from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Holani had been elevated from Seattle's practice squad to the active roster for the three-game maximum, and over that span he turned three carries into 10 yards while adding one catch for minus-1 yard. Now that he's on the 53-man roster, Holani will serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh due to Kenneth Walker (ankle) being ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Bears.
