Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Another DNP on Tuesday
Walker (oblique) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The Seahawks did get in some on-field work Tuesday, but Walker wasn't one of those who took part as he tends to a strained oblique that he suffered Sunday against the Rams. Another absence Wednesday may spur Seattle to rule out the running back ahead of Thursday's game versus the 49ers. Assuming Walker is inactive for Week 12, Zach Charbonnet would be the team's top running back, with potentially all of DeeJay Dallas (shoulder), Kenny McIntosh and practice-squad member Bryant Koback available behind him.

Salvon Ahmed RB | CHI
Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Done for season
Ahmed (foot) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2023 season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Ahmed suffered a foot injury this past week and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, but it now appears the injury is a season-ending one. With De'Von Achane (knee) banged up, Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson could operate as the team's primary options in the backfield Friday versus the Jets.

Emanuel Wilson RB | SEA
Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Listed as DNP again
Wilson (shoulder) was a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Wilson's absence marked his second straight day being listed as sidelined while nursing a shoulder issue. With Aaron Jones (knee) doubtful and AJ Dillon (groin) limited, Wilson could be in line for an extended role in the backfield should he be healthy enough to suit up Thursday.

Rico Dowdle RB | PIT
Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: DNP again Tuesday
Dowdle (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
After not holding practice Monday, the Cowboys got back on the field Tuesday, but Dowdle remained absent from drills. He will have just one more chance to get in practice reps before Thursday's game against the Commanders. If Dowdle is limited or out Week 12, rookie Deuce Vaughn would be the likeliest candidate for increased touches behind starter Tony Pollard.

Antonio Gibson RB | NE
Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Stays limited Tuesday
Gibson (toe) was listed as limited on Tuesday's injury report.
Gibson didn't practice at all last week before being inactive for this past Sunday's game against the Giants. Considering he was upgraded to limited at Tuesday's session, he may have a chance to return from his one-game absence Thursday at Dallas and rejoin Brian Robinson in the Washington backfield. If Gibson remains out, rookie Chris Rodriguez could see an increased workload again.
-
AJ Dillon RB | CAR
Packers' AJ Dillon: Remains listed as limited
Dillon (groin) is listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate.
While Dillon continues to have a cap on his listed reps due to a groin injury, fellow running backs Aaron Jones (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) wouldn't have taken part at all Monday or Tuesday if the Packers had held an actual practice. Coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today on Tuesday that it's "highly unlikely" that Jones will be available Thursday in Detroit, so Dillon appears set for an increased workload, assuming he's healthy enough to play.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Packers' Aaron Jones: Unlikely to play Thursday
Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Jones (knee) is "highly unlikely" to play Thursday at Detroit, but he doesn't believe the running back will be placed on injured reserve, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
LaFleur's comment backs up a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN earlier Tuesday that Jones has an MCL sprain and is deemed week-to-week after getting injured this past Sunday against the Chargers. Jones has been listed as a non-participant on both of the Packers' Week 12 practice reports so far, while AJ Dillon (groin) has been listed as limited and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) has been a DNP on both occasions. Assuming Jones sits out Thursday, Dillon would be in line for the top gig out of Green Bay's backfield, assuming he's healthy enough to play himself. Patrick Taylor is currently the only running back on the team's depth chart without an injury designation.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Opens week with limited listing
Mostert (ankle/knee) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Like fellow running back De'Von Achane (knee), Mostert had a cap on his reps at Tuesday's walkthrough. Mostert is dealing with the same ankle and knee injuries that limited him during the entirety of Week 11 prep, but they didn't stop him from logging 86 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday en route to 23 touches for 93 yards from scrimmage against the Raiders. There's a chance Achane will be able to play Friday at the Jets, but if he's limited or inactive, Mostert is in line to be the Dolphins' lead RB again in Week 12.

De'Von Achane RB | MIA
Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Gets limited listing Tuesday
Achane (knee) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
The rookie running back didn't last long Sunday in his first game action since Week 5, as Achane made an early exit after another player landed on his knee. Coach Mike McDaniel told Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network that Achane was held out as a precaution because it was the same knee that forced the running back's stint on IR. On Monday, McDaniel called the RB "day-to-day" and didn't rule him out for Friday's game at the Jets, per Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. With a limited walkthrough under his belt to begin Week 12 prep, Achane seemingly has a chance to play. If Achane is limited or out Friday, Raheem Mostert will serve as Miami's top running back, with Jeff Wilson the likely main reserve after the team placed Salvon Ahmed (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Salvon Ahmed RB | CHI
Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Goes to IR
Miami placed Ahmed (foot) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
It's not immediately clear when Ahmed sustained the foot injury, but it's apparently severe enough to keep him off the field for at least the Dolphins' next four games. Until he's ready to come back, Jeff Wilson is likely to see more work between the tackles.
