Coach Doug Pederson said Thursday that Etienne (chest) is day-to-day, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Pederson said Etienne will practice Thursday, which is a positive sign. The elusive running back managed to play through his chest injury during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Texans, though he briefly left the field in the first half. Fantasy managers will need to closely monitor Etienne's practice reps heading into Monday's primetime matchup against the Bengals. If Etienne ends up missing any time due to the injury, veteran D'Ernest Johnson and rookie Tank Bigsby could get a chance to show what they can do with a significant backfield workload.

Washington (illness) wasn't listed on Denver's injury report Wednesday.

Washington missed last week's win over the Browns with an illness but is now healthy again. The 29-year-old should be good to go for Sunday's game versus the Texans, where he'll look to contribute on special teams.

The Packers signed Robinson to their practice squad Wednesday.

Robinson was waived from Green Bay's active roster Monday but will now rejoin the team, albeit on the practice squad. The 25-year-old will serve as an insurance option at running back as both Aaron Jones (MCL) and AJ Dillon (groin) are dealing with injuries.

Abanikanda (illness) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The exact nature of Abanikanda's ailment is not known at this point, but his Week 13 status is now in doubt either way. He'll probably need to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up Sunday versus the Falcons.

Elliott was limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a thigh injury.

Elliott is tending to the injury after he played 15 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants. With a limited session to start the week, the running back's status will be worth keeping tabs on as this weekend's game against the Chargers approaches. If Elliott is available for the Week 13 contest, he'll continue to work behind lead back Rhamondre Stevenson.

Hall was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall is facing practice limitations for the first time since September, when he was still getting back to full strength from the torn ACL he suffered his rookie season. He hasn't found much room to run of late, instead relying on pass-catching production and/or touchdowns to keep his fantasy value afloat. Hall showed no obvious sign of injury in this past Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins, as he took 14 touches for 49 yards while playing two-thirds of the snaps on offense. He's finished in the range of 60-to-70 percent snap shares six games in a row, and he'll likely be somewhere around that range Sunday against the Falcons if he isn't too bothered by his hamstring.

Swift (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Like he was a week ago, Swift is kicking off Week 13 prep with a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walkthrough. If he follows the same on-field routine this week, he'll remain a limited participant Thursday before upgrading to full activity Friday and clearing up any concern about his status for Sunday's game versus the 49ers. Swift didn't seem worse for wear this past Sunday against the Bills, turning 15 touches into 84 yards from scrimmage while handling a 63 percent snap share.

Miller (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Miller hasn't practiced or played in a game since spraining his ankle Week 9 against the Bears. Even if he gets healthy within the next week or two, he'll have a hard time earning touches in an offense that also employs Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill.

Achane (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Achane also was listed as limited each day last week, after aggravating his knee injury in the first quarter of a Week 11 win over the Raiders. He ended up missing the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the Jets last Friday, but a return for this Sunday's game at Washington is possible given that the Dolphins reportedly aren't expecting him to be headed for another long-term absence. Jeff Wilson will likely serve as the top backup to Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) again in the event Achane misses another game.

Mostert (ankle/knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Mostert was listed with the same pair of injuries last week and ended up taking 20 carries for 94 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-13 win over the Jets. He'll likely be able to play again this Sunday against the Commanders, though there's a chance he'll have to share some of the snaps at running back with De'Von Achane, who has been listed as a limited practice participant since injuring his knee in a Week 11 win over Las Vegas. Achane sat out the Week 12 victory over the Jets but isn't expected to require another long-term absence.
