Charbonnet suffered a knee injury in Thursday's game against Dallas and is doubtful to return, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Charbonnet was injured in the fourth quarter and spotted in the injury tent. The extent of the issue is unclear, but Seattle is already dealing with an injury in the backfield with Kenneth Walker (oblique) sidelined. Prior to exiting, Charbonnet tallied 99 total yards and a touchdown.

Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Seahawks.

Vaughn is third on the Dallas running back depth chart behind Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle. The rookie has 21 carries for 38 yards and six catches for 30 yards on 52 offensive snaps this season.

Charbonnet is in line to lead the Seahawks backfield Thursday in Dallas with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Charbonnet will fill in for Walker for a second consecutive contest after handling the bulk of work afforded Seattle running backs last Thursday against the 49ers. In that outing, he earned a career-high 87 percent snap share and had 18 touches for 58 yards from scrimmage. Charbonnet still is in search of the first touchdown of his career, and his quest for one may be difficult Thursday against a Cowboys defense that has surrendered the eighth-fewest TDs (six) to opposing running backs in 11 games this season.

Hunt (groin) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Hunt didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a limited session one day later bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday against the Rams. If he's available this weekend, Hunt will be in line to continue to work in tandem with fellow RB Jerome Ford, a context that has resulted in Hunt (who is averaging 9.9 carries and 31.8 rushing yards to go along with six TDS in nine games to date) maintaining a degree of weekly fantasy utility of late.

Walker (oblique) is listed as inactive Thursday at Dallas.

For a second week in a row, Walker wasn't able to log any on-field work due to the oblique injury that he suffered Week 11 at the Rams. Now that he's confirmed to be inactive for another contest, he'll cede the Seahawks backfield to Zach Charbonnet yet again, with DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh serving as the backups. Walker will turn his focus to getting healthy for Seattle's key Week 14 visit to San Francisco.

Miller (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Miller continues to be out of action since suffering an ankle sprain in Week 9 against the Bears. If he has any chance of suiting up Sunday against the Lions, he'll likely need to get on the practice field Friday. Even if he does, he'll likely be considered on the wrong side of questionable for the matchup.

Dillon (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Dillon has been dealing with a groin injury for two weeks running, but he's far more healthy than backfield mate Aaron Jones, who is tending to a sprained MCL and has yet to practice since sustaining the injury Week 11. Prior to last Thursday's game at Detroit, Dillon wasn't listed as more than a limited participant on Packers practice reports but still suited up for the 29-22 win, turning 17 touches into 81 yards from scrimmage. Friday's report will unveil whether or nor Dillon enters this weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

Elliott (thigh) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Elliott also had his reps capped Wednesday and may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Assuming Elliott is available for the contest, his fantasy upside will be capped by the fact that he continues to work behind top backfield option Rhamondre Stevenson.

McKinnon (groin) was limited in his return to practice Thursday.

After missing practice Wednesday, McKinnon's return to Thursday's session offers encouragement that he may be able to return to action Sunday night against the Packers. However, the running back may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend with a Week 13 injury designation.

Swift (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

Swift kicked off Week 13 prep with a limited listing on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury. Unlike last week, though, he got back to all activity one day earlier (Thursday versus Friday), putting himself in a position to continue to lead the Eagles backfield this weekend. Swift is facing a tough task Sunday against a 49ers defense that has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards (658) and eighth-least touchdowns (six) to opposing running backs in 11 games on the campaign.
