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.

Brown was waived by the Bears on Thursday.

The running back was let go to help make room for the activation of defensive backs Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon from injured reserve. Brown signed with the active roster from the practice squad Nov. 22 and played on 10 special-teams snaps in Week 12 against Pittsburgh. In two games this season, Brown has carried the ball five times for 37 yards and a touchdown.

Demercado (ankle) was absent from Thursday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Since suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 11, Demercado hasn't been able to mix into any drills, and the Cardinals ultimately may make a decision on his status on Friday's injury report. Trey Benson (knee), who currently is on injured reserve, also didn't practice Thursday for the first time since he was designated to return last week, leaving Bam Knight (knee) and Michael Carter as Arizona's top two healthiest RBs at the moment.

Benson (knee) wasn't present at Thursday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

The same can be said for fellow RB Emari Demercado, who hasn't practiced since sustaining a high-ankle sprain Week 11. It's unclear if Benson's sudden absence from practice is related to maintenance, but the situation now bears watching as he's in the second week since the Cardinals opened his practice window to return from injured reserve.

Wilson is poised to take a step back in the Packers backfield for Thursday's game at Detroit with Josh Jacobs (knee) active, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

Wilson was Green Bay's lead runner in this past Sunday's win against the Vikings, racking up 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns and gathering in both targets for 18 yards. When Jacobs was active for the first 10 games of the season, even Week 11 at the Giants, when Jacobs made an early exit due to the knee injury, Wilson topped out at 11 touches (three times), 87 total yards and one TD in a given contest. Assuming Jacobs is good for his normal workload, Wilson likely will fall back to single-digit touch territory.

Saylors (back) is active for Thursday's Week 13 matchup versus the Packers.

Saylors has been managing a back issue for most of November, and it caused him to sit out Week 10 against Washington. However, he's been able to play each of the past two weeks, and he's continued to work as the lead kick returner for the Lions. That will likely be Saylors' primary role again Thursday, as he has logged just seven offensive snaps through 10 games this year.

Vaki (ankle) is active for Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against Green Bay.

Vaki has been dealing with an ankle issue for the past two weeks and was deemed limited in all three of Detroit's practice walkthroughs this week. He's going to be able to suit up, though he probably won't see a lot of work on offense. Vaki has taken just two offensive snaps over five games this season, but he's also contributed on special teams, including as a kick returner.

Ford (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Ford popped up on the injury report to open the week, dealing with an apparent hamstring injury. The running back played a season-low eight offensive snaps in the team's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12, losing three yards on his only carry of the game. Ford will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Reynolds was waived by the Lions on Wednesday.

Reynolds had been a healthy scratch for each of Detroit's last two games. The team shuffled its roster to add needed tight end depth, leaving Reynolds as the odd-man out.

Walker was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a glute injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Since the Seahawks' Week 8 bye, Walker has continued to be the 1A in the team's backfield over Zach Charbonnet over the last four contests. Walker has turned 61 touches into 343 yards from scrimmage and one TD during that span, while Charbonnet has notched 42 touches for 211 total yards and two TDs. Walker has a health concern to contend with this week, but he'll have two more chances to get back to full before Seattle potentially tags him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
