Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Dobbins (foot) may have a chance to return toward the end of the season, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Payton was talking about LB Drew Sanders (foot) potentially returning toward the end of the season and then mentioned that "the same could maybe be said" about Dobbins. This sounds like something to keep in mind for the real-life playoffs rather than the fantasy playoffs, as Payton made it clear that both Dobbins and Sanders are still a ways out.

Knight was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Knight dealt with an ankle issue in advance of the previous two games, but he was active for both and combined for 23 touches for 77 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs. With a new health concern in tow, his activity level in practice remained the same Wednesday, while backfield mate Trey Benson (knee) also was limited, and Emari Demercado stayed sidelined due to a high-ankle sprain. The status of the trio will continue to be monitored, especially Benson, who will need to be activated from injured reserve in order to have a chance to play Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Neal was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Neal played 86 percent of snaps over the final three quarters of Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons, filling in for Alvin Kamara (knee) on a day when the Saints had just two RBs active. Neal's ability to practice Wednesday, even in a limited capacity, suggests he's on track to play this Sunday against the Dolphins, likely filling in for Kamara as the starter. Audric Estime and Evan Hull are the other running backs on the 53-man roster, and Taysom Hill provides another form of competition for carries.

Benson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Benson now has been listed as limited on four consecutive injury reports dating back to last Wednesday, when Arizona designated him to return from injured reserve. He was ruled out for Week 12 last Friday, and this Friday's report will reveal if he has a chance to return for Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay. As for the rest of the backfield, Bam Knight (knee) also was limited Wednesday, while Emari Demercado continued to sit out due to a high-ankle sprain, leaving Michael Carter and Jermar Jefferson as the only healthy RBs on the active roster.

Rodriguez missed Wednesday's practice with an illness.

Rodriguez likely will have time to recover before Sunday's game against Denver. Workload uncertainty is the greater concern for fantasy, with Jeremy McNichols presumably still handling passing downs and Jacory Croskey-Merritt a threat for carries. Rodriguez replaced Croskey-Merritt as the lead runner in Washington's past two games, but the latter still has had a significant role off the bench.

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.

Hill (neck) is ruled out for Thursday's contest against Cincinnati.

Hill was not listed on Monday's injury report, but he's since missed back-to-back practices due to a neck issue and will be forced to remain sidelined Week 13. In his stead, Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will stand to handle increased backfield roles behind Derrick Henry on Thanksgiving Day, a divisional matchup that could make for a high-scoring affair with quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) expected to return to the starting lineup for the Bengals.

Kamara (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Kamara missed the entire second half of this past Sunday's loss to the Falcons due to a knee injury, and after undergoing an MRI, he's been diagnosed with a sprained MCL. The Saints will post two more practice reports this week, and Friday's version in particular may provide some clarity as it pertains to his status for Sunday's game at Miami. Devin Neal is lined up to lead New Orleans' backfield if Kamara is limited or sidelined for Week 13 action.

Hunt's teammate Isiah Pacheco (knee) will return for Thursday's game at Dallas, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he isn't sure how much Pacheco will play, ESPN's Nate Taylor reports.

Pacheco was Kansas City's lead runner before his knee sprain, but the role didn't amount to much in fantasy with Hunt stealing goal-line work and Brashard Smith taking a few touches each week. Hunt was far more valuable in Pacheco's absence, recording three straight games with at least 47 snaps, 12 touches and 12.5 PPR points. His playing time figures to decrease now, though to what extent is unclear.

Barkley (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Barkley was also listed as limited during Tuesday's walkthrough session, meaning he will have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice level Thursday, at which point the Eagles will decide whether to assign him an official injury designation for Friday's game against the Bears. It's entirely possible, of course, that the team is simply managing Barkley's reps while facing a short week of preparation. He carried the ball 10 times for 22 yards and secured seven of eight targets for 52 yards during the team's Week 12 loss to the Cowboys. Barkley also lost one fumble versus Dallas.
