Antonio Gibson RB | NE
Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Eight touches in Week 3
Gibson rushed five times for 29 yards and secured all three targets for eight yards in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.
Gibson logged one fewer carry than Rhamondre Stevenson but outgained him by six rushing yards. Gibson was also the only one of the two involved in the passing game, albeit to a modest degree. Gibson's downturn was notable considering he'd posted 96 rushing yards just four days earlier against Seattle, but New England's offense as a whole was held in check Thursday night. Gibson will look to bounce back in a Week 4 road battle against the 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Disappointing night in Week 3 loss
Stevenson rushed six times for 23 yards and lost a fumble in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.
Game script and a stingy Jets defense conspired to limit Stevenson to his lowest numbers of the season through three games. Stevenson had eclipsed 20 carries in each of his first two contests, and in addition to not getting anywhere close to that workload Thursday, the fourth-year back's early fourth-quarter lost fumble at the Patriots' 35-yard line led to a New York field goal that essentially sealed New England's fate. Stevenson has a tough assignment in his Week 4 bid to bounce back, as he'll tangle with the 49ers defense on the road on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Productive all-around game Thursday
Hall rushed 16 times for 54 yards and a touchdown and secured four of five targets for 29 yards in the Jets' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.
Hall was outproduced by rookie teammate Braelon Allen, who notably garnered 11 carries of his own and outgained Hall by one yard on the ground. However, of the two, it was Hall who found the end zone, recording a one-yard touchdown run just before the halfway point of the second quarter. The third-year pro also posted the second-most receptions on the Jets for the night, and Hall now has 16 catches (on 19 targets) through the first three games. He'll now prep for a favorable Week 4 home matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Logs full practice Thursday
Wilson (oblique) practiced fully Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wilson was ruled out late in last Thursday's loss to the Bills with an oblique injury, but after a limited session to begin Week 3 prep Wednesday, he was able to handle every rep one day later. Fellow running back Raheem Mostert's (chest) reps again were capped Thursday, though, so there remains a question mark in the Dolphins backfield behind No. 1 option De'Von Achane. If Mostert is inhibited or even out Sunday at Seattle, Wilson would be the top candidate to fill in behind Achane.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Another limited session
Mostert (chest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
After Mostert emerged from Week 1 with a chest injury, the Dolphins held him out of practice on a short week and then ruled him out for last Thursday's contest versus the Bills. As Miami reconvened this week, he's been able to maintain his activity level through two sessions, but his listing on Friday's injury report will be key as it pertains to his odds to return Sunday at Seattle. Once he's cleared for game action, Mostert likely will take a back seat to second-year pro De'Von Achane out of the Dolphins backfield.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: No practice again Thursday
Walker (oblique) officially didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Walker hasn't taken part in drills since suffering an oblique injury during a Week 1 win against the Broncos, but he may be making some progress in his recovery, as he was spotted running on a side field during warmups prior to Thursday's session, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Before sitting out Week 2 at New England, Seattle listed him as doubtful to suit up, so the team could take a similar approach when it posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Zach Charbonnet is on hand to man the Seahawks backfield if Walker misses a second consecutive game Sunday versus the Dolphins.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Little activity Thursday
Walker (oblique) was seen running on the side during Thursday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Walker thus seems destined to go down as a non-participant for a second straight session to begin Week 3 prep, giving him just one more chance to practice ahead of the weekend. If Walker misses a second game in a row Sunday against the Dolphins, Zach Charbonnet again will pace the Seahawks backfield.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Stays limited at practice
White (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
White played through a groin injury this past Sunday in Detroit that has resulted in back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 3 prep. There's been no indication that he may be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Broncos, and the Buccaneers could provide clarity on his situation as soon as the release of Friday's practice report. Through two contests this season, White has 32 touches to backup Bucky Irving's 18, though the former is averaging just a shade under 2.0 yards per carry.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Full practice Thursday
Jones (hip) practiced fully Thursday.
Jones made a surprise appearance on the Vikings' first Week 3 injury report as limited due to a hip issue, but it ultimately won't stop him from being available Sunday against the Texans. Through two games, he's ceded occasional backfield reps to Ty Chandler, with Jones seeing 30 touches to the latter's 21. The breakdown seemingly has been instituted to keep Jones as healthy as possible due to his cluttered medical chart, but he'll continue to have the upper hand on Chandler as long as he's available.

Travis Homer RB | PIT
Bears' Travis Homer: Limited by injury
Homer (finger) was a limited participant during practice Thursday.
Homer wasn't on Wednesday's injury report, so it's not clear when or how he picked up the injury. Depending on the severity of it, the 26-year-old would likely be able to play through it; however, more clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Colts won't likely come until Friday.
