Jerome Ford RB | CLE
Browns' Jerome Ford: Limited to open week
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.

Craig Reynolds RB | NE
Craig Reynolds: Loses roster spot
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.

Kenneth Walker III RB | SEA
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Limited Wednesday
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.

Myles Gaskin RB | SEA
Myles Gaskin: Returning to Seattle
The Seahawks re-signed Gaskin to their practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Gaskin will rejoin the team after being cut from the practice squad last week. The 28-year-old has yet to appear in a game this season but could be elevated for Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings, as George Holani (hamstring) is currently listed as doubtful.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Back at practice, limited Wednesday
Hampton (ankle) was limited in his return to practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Hampton, who last saw game action in Week 5 when he sustained a fractured ankle, was designated to return from IR on Tuesday, which has the running back trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Per Smith, Hampton's Week 13 availability presumably hinges on how he fares this week at practice, but for his part, the 2025 first-rounder is anxious to return to the lineup. "They haven't told me yet, but I'm waiting to find out. Whatever my doc says," Hampton noted Wednesday. "I want to, for sure. But it's whatever the doc says." In any case, in order for Hampton to be available versus Las Vegas, he'd need to be activated from IR by Saturday afternoon.

Cam Akers RB | SEA
Seahawks' Cam Akers: Signs with Seattle
The Seahawks signed Akers on Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
Akers is headed to Seattle after being cut from Minnesota's practice squad last week. The 26-year-old carried the ball five times for 19 yards in three appearances with the Vikings. He should serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back for Sunday's matchup against his former team, as George Holani is doubtful with a hamstring injury.

Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Not listed on injury report
Jeanty (ankle) isn't listed on the Raiders' Week 13 injury report.
Field Yates of ESPN previously noted that Jeanty emerged from Week 12 action with an ankle injury that he sustained late in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns, a game in which the running back recorded an 81 percent snap share while carrying 17 times for 50 yards and catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a TD. On Monday, coach Pete Carroll indicated that he didn't believe Jeanty's ankle issue was anything severe, a notion that has now been confirmed by the fact that the Raiders' lead back is working without restrictions ahead of this weekend's game against the Chargers.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Logs full walkthrough
Irving (shoulder/foot) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
After being listed as limited on the Buccaneers' five previous injury reports, Irving finally was able to log an uncapped session to begin Week 13 prep, seemingly putting him on a path for his first game action since Week 4. He missed the last eight seven games due to a subluxation in his shoulder and a sprained left foot, so he may not take on his normal role as Tampa Bay's lead runner Sunday against the Cardinals. In such a scenario, fellow RBs Sean Tucker and Rachaad White would be available for any snaps and touches that don't go to Irving.

Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: At practice Wednesday
Jeanty (ankle) participated in practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Jeanty, who tweaked his ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Browns, said Wednesday, "I feel good overall," which suggests that the issue isn't likely to affect the running back's availability for this weekend's game against the Chargers. A full practice listing by Friday would solidify that outcome.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: No practice Wednesday
Demercado (ankle) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Demercado has yet to mix into any drills since he sustained a high-ankle sprain Week 11 against the 49ers. Meanwhile, both Trey Benson (knee) and Bam Knight (knee) were limited participants to begin Week 13 prep. Arizona will need to activate Benson from injured reserve in order for him to have a chance to play Sunday in Tampa Bay, but at this stage he appears to have better odds than Demercado to suit up this weekend.
