  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Racks up 18 touches in return

    Jacobs rushed 17 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    Jacobs reclaimed the lead role in the backfield in his return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. Emanuel Wilson had four carries and Chris Brooks drew two targets, as Green Bay's backup running backs saw sparse usage. Jacobs has failed to score a touchdown in each of his last two appearances after being kept out of the end zone only once in the preceding 17 regular-season games. He'll look to end this brief scoring drought in Week 14 against the Bears.

  • Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Just four totes in Week 13

    Wilson carried the ball four times for 14 yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    With Josh Jacobs back in action after a one-game absence, Wilson returned to a depth role. The third-year back proved himself in Week 12 with 125 scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs as the starter, but as long as Jacobs is healthy, Wilson's workload will be unpredictable at best -- over the four games prior to his spot start, he saw anywhere from two to 14 touches.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Listed as full Thursday

    Rodriguez (illness) was listed as full on Thursday's practice report.

    Rodriguez was held out of drills Wednesday due to an illness, but his return to all listed activity one day later sets him up to be among the Commanders' available running backs Sunday against the Broncos. In the three games prior to the team's Week 12 bye, he recorded double-digit carries two times en route to 33 rushes for 160 yards and two touchdowns and one catch (on one target) for six yards during that span.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Placed on IR

    The Ravens placed Hill (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.

    Hill will be forced to miss at least Baltimore's next four games due to a neck injury he appears to have sustained during practice. He wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, but then appeared as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday. Beginning Thursday versus the Bengals, and until at least Dec. 27 versus the Packers in Week 17, both Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will be in position to handle increased complementary roles behind Derrick Henry.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Clear for Black Friday

    Barkley (groin) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game against the Bears.

    Barkley opened Week 13 prep with a limited walkthrough Tuesday and followed it up with a capped practice Wednesday due to a groin injury. However, his full walkthrough Thursday paves the way for him to continue to lead the Eagles' ground attack Friday. In three contests since the team's Week 9 bye, Barkley has turned 69 touches into 265 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Another limited practice

    Neal (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Neal has now logged back-to-back limited practices since playing a season-high 59 offensive snaps Week 12 versus the Falcons, a contest that saw Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) spend the entire second half on the sideline due to an MCL sprain. Kamara's injury paved the way for Neal rush seven times for 18 yards and secure five of seven targets for 43 yards, and he's now missed back-to-back practices and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. That may also be the case for No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (back), who missed practice Thursday due to an injury he sustained Wednesday.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Misses another practice

    Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Kamara has now missed back-to-back practices since suffering a sprained MCL during New Orleans' loss to the Falcons in Week 12, an injury that forced him to sit out the entire second half of that contest. Meanwhile, top backup running back Devin Neal (ankle) was limited again in Thursday's practice, while No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (back) downgraded to being a non-participant. Friday's final practice report of Week 13 will provide clarity on the status of all three playmakers, but New Orleans' offense is at risk of entering Sunday's road contest against the Dolphins heavily depleted.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Stays limited Thursday

    Knight (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Meanwhile, Trey Benson (knee), who remains on injured reserve, and Emari Demercado (ankle) were listed as non-participants, leaving Knight and Michael Carter as the healthiest of the Cardinals' top options at running back at the moment. Friday's practice report will reveal who among the quartet has a chance to suit up Sunday at Tampa Bay.

  • Chiefs' Elijah Mitchell: Healthy scratch again

    Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Mitchell got a chance to make his season debut Week 11 versus Denver but reverted to being a healthy scratch Week 12. With Isiah Pacheco now back in action, Mitchell quietly falls back to No. 4 on Kansas City's backfield depth chart. In his lone regular-season appearance thus far, Mitchell played seven offensive snaps and failed to haul in his only target.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Inactive for Thursday's game

    Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Blue has now been made a healthy scratch in four consecutive games since he committed a fumble versus the Broncos in Week 8. In place of the rookie fifth-round pick, Malik Davis will continue to operate the No. 2 option behind workhorse starter Javonte Williams in Dallas' backfield.
