Achane (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Jets, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Achane remained listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, and with the official questionable listing, the rookie running back's status for Friday's 3:00 pm ET kickoff is uncertain. If Achane is unavailable for the contest, Jeff Wilson and Darrynton Evans would be candidates to log complementary snaps behind Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), who doesn't carry a Week 12 injury designation.

Evans was elevated from the Dolphins' practice squad Thursday.

Evans, who just signed with Miami on Tuesday, will have an opportunity to make his debut with the team Friday against the Jets. With Raheem Mostert (ankle) and De'Von Achane (knee) both managing injuries ahead of the contest, the Dolphins may be depleted at the position with Jeff Wilson the only other fully healthy running back currently on the active roster.

Foreman (ankle/shin) didn't participate in Thursday's walkthrough.

Foreman welcomed back Khalil Herbert to the Bears backfield this past Sunday at Detroit, but the former lasted only one half before he departed with a right ankle injury. The Bears listed both ankle and shin for Foreman as the cause of his DNP on Thursday, so his issue may be a bit more expansive than originally thought. Still, he'll have two more chances this week to log some activity, estimated or real, before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Monday's game in Minnesota.

Dillon (groin) is listed as active Thursday at Detroit, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

In the first outing of a likely multi-game absence from Aaron Jones due to a sprained MCL, Dillon will brush off an injury that capped him to limited listings on all three Week 12 practice reports and suit up Thursday. Assuming he's ready for a robust workload, Dillon should get all the touches he can handle as he looks to build upon his performance since the team's Week 6 bye. Over the last five games, he's averaged just under 4.0 yards on his 53 rushes and recorded 13 catches (on 15 targets) for 121 yards. Any RB reps that don't go to Dillon will be available to Patrick Taylor and James Robinson.

Dowdle (ankle) is expected to play Thursday against the Commanders, Ian Rappaport of NFL Network reports.

Dowdle approaches the contest officially listed as questionable, but per Rappaport, the running back is trending toward being available to work in a complementary role Thursday behind top back Tony Pollard. Either way, confirmation of Dowdle's Week 12 status will arrive once the Cowboys' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Charbonnet is in line to serve as Seattle's lead back Thursday against San Francisco with Kenneth Walker (oblique) listed as doubtful for the Week 12 contest and not expected to play, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Though Walker is on track to miss his first game of the season, the Seahawks already got an extended glimpse of Charbonnet in a leading role when Walker played just seven snaps in this past Sunday's loss to the Rams before going down with an oblique strain. Charbonnet dominated the work in the backfield following Walker's departure, finishing the day with 15 carries for 47 yards to go with six catches for 22 yards on six targets. Seattle will have DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh around as additional depth out of the backfield, but the former profiles as more of a third-down/pass-catching specialist, while the latter is a rookie seventh-round pick who has yet to make his NFL debut. With that in mind, Charbonnet could be poised for one of the heavier snap counts and workloads among all running backs Week 12, though a relatively difficult matchup against a San Francisco defense that has allowed 4.0 yards per carry and five rushing touchdowns this season may lower his overall ceiling a bit.

Spiller (illness) isn't listed on the Week 12 injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Spiller missed Week 11's date with the Packers. The Chargers' No. 3 running back, Spiller has 12 carries for 27 scoreless yards on the season. He's reeled in all three of his pass-game targets for 15 yards.

Dillon (groin) is in line to play Thursday at Detroit, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

With Aaron Jones sidelined for the first of what will likely be a multi-game absence due to a sprained MCL, Dillon's availability is key for the Packers to have a semblance of a rushing attack. However, Dillon himself was listed as a limited participant on practice reports issued Monday through Wednesday with a groin injury and received a questionable tag ahead of the Week 12 contest. Assuming he avoids Green Bay's inactive list -- which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff -- he should be the team's top back in a healthy group that also includes Patrick Taylor (16 touches this season) and James Robinson (no snaps since Week 13 of the 2022 season). Since a Week 6 bye, Dillon has averaged a shade under 4.0 yards on his 53 carries, hauled in 13 of 15 passes for 121 yards and scored no touchdowns over the last five games.

Demercado (toe) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Demercado seemingly inched closer to a return to action last week with two limited practices, but ultimately he was ruled out for this past Sunday's game in Houston on the Cardinals' final injury report. He again is operating with a cap on his reps to kick off Week 12 prep, and he may need to upgrade to full activity Thursday or Friday to have a realistic shot at being available Sunday versus the Rams. Even if Demercado gains clearance to play, he's unlikely to be more than second fiddle to Arizona's lead runner, James Conner.

Perine was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

Though Perine carried just once for seven yards in this past Sunday's 21-20 win over Minnesota, he made a mark by catching all seven of his targets for 60 yards. Following a limited session Wednesday, Perine's status is now worth monitoring for those considering using him in PPR formats this weekend against the Browns.
