Vaki (ankle) remained limited in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Vaki has managed injuries throughout most of the 2025 campaign and has played one offensive snap all season. He carries no fantasy value while Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are healthy.

Saylors (back) remained a limited participant for Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Saylors handles kickoff returns for the Lions, as he's logged 699 scoreless yards on 26 returns this season. He otherwise carries no fantasy value while Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are healthy.

The Saints signed Wheeler to the practice squad Tuesday.

Wheeler takes the spot on the practice squad vacated by Evan Hull, who was signed to the Saints' 53-man roster Tuesday. It's a sign that Alvin Kamara (knee) could miss some time.

The Saints signed Hull off the practice squad Tuesday.

With Alvin Kamara dealing with a knee injury, Hull will give the Saints some backfield depth behind rookie Devin Neal and Audric Estime. Hull has appeared in two career regular-season games, rushing one time for one yard.

Head coach Andy Reid confirmed Tuesday that Pacheco (knee) will suit up for a Thanksgiving game in Dallas, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Pacheco has been sidelined for the past four weeks and has missed three games while recovering from an MCL sprain, but he's in the clear to return to the lineup after being listed as a full participant on Kansas City's first two Week 13 practice reports. The 26-year-old had played at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps in seven of his first eight appearances prior to getting hurt, but he may have to settle for a lesser role upon his return, at least initially. Kareem Hunt filled in acceptably as Kansas City's lead back over the past three games with three rushing touchdowns to go with 247 yards from scrimmage on 59 touches, and he could end up handling the brunt of the work again Thursday if the team wants to ease Pacheco back in.

Smith tallied one rush for five yards and hauled in three of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against the Colts.

Smith remains a pass-catching option out of the backfield, akin to Jerick McKinnon in previous seasons, but he doesn't quite sport the same kind of upside just yet. Smith has made an impact as a receiver through 11 games, notching 19 grabs for 161 yards. However, he's averaged just 3.0 yards per carry on his 29 totes and firmly remains third in the backfield pecking order behind Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. As long as that duo remains healthy, Smith figures to remain a periphery piece for the Chiefs.

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that Hampton (ankle) will have his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Coming out of the Chargers' Week 12 bye, Hampton has made enough progress in his recovery from a left ankle injury to resume practicing for the first time since early October. Because the rookie has missed the Chargers' last six games with the injury, he'll likely need to get in at least one full practice by Friday in order to have a realistic chance at being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Whenever he's added back to the 53-man roster, Hampton should overtake Kimani Vidal as the lead option out of the Los Angeles backfield.

Etienne went without an offensive touch in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the 49ers.

All of the Panthers' backfield work went to Rico Dowdle (10 touches for 74 yards) and Chuba Hubbard (seven touches for 43 yards), suggesting Etienne remains a minimal portion of the offensive game plan. Etienne, a 2025 fourth-round pick from Georgia, has now recorded 528 kick-return yards and 96 punt-return yards through Carolina's first 12 games. He's expected to remain the team's primary return man in the Week 13 matchup against the Rams.

Mostert gained two yards on one carry and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

Mostert's outing was highlighted by an 18-yard reception on the Raiders' final drive of the contest, as he handled backfield duties after rookie Ashton Jeanty exited with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Coach Pete Carroll indicated Jeanty's injury isn't believed to be severe, but if it impacts his availability for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, Mostert could be in line for increased volume.

Ford had one carry for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12.

Ford's marginalization continued, as the fourth-year back logged one touch for a fifth straight game and played a season-low eight snaps. Once a viable option as a third-down back, he's gone untargeted in two straight and was thrown to just five times in the last five contests. The Browns are rolling with a backfield of Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson and will keep doing so unless one of the rookies gets injured.
