Holani (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Holani rushed seven times for 18 yards in the Seahawks' Week 4 win over the Chargers. The running back played through a rib injury and looks to be on pace to do so again in Week 5. With limited practice in Thursday and Friday sessions, Holani will likely be free of any injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 26-year-old should continue to play second fiddle to Emanuel Wilson in the contest.

Black (illness) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Black should be fine to handle his normal role Sunday against the Seahawks as Christian McCaffrey's direct backup. The rookie running back has turned 20 carries into just 55 yards (2.75 YPC) over the last three games following a strong Week 1 debut in Australia against the Rams.

Barkley (hamstring) officially didn't practice Wednesday

Barkley lasted just four offensive snaps before exiting this past Sunday's loss to the Rams in the first quarter due to a hamstring issue. Head coach Nick Sirianni remained mum Monday regarding Barkley's status, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network later reported that the running back is considered week-to-week with an injury that's not deemed to be long term. As a result, Barkley's lack of activity Wednesday isn't a shock, and if he indeed sits out Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, he likely will pass off the No. 1 spot in the Eagles backfield to Will Shipley, with Dameon Pierce backing him up.

The Ravens signed Scott to the practice squad Wednesday.

Scott failed to make the Ravens' 53-man roster out of training camp, but he's back with the organization as a member of the practice squad. The Ravens don't have a fullback on the active roster, so Scott could be elevated from the practice squad should the team require a specialized blocker out of the backfield.

McNichols (quadriceps) had his 21-day practice window opened prior to Wednesday's session, during which he was a limited participant.

McNichols injured his quad during training camp in mid-August, and the injury was severe enough for the veteran running back to open the regular season on injured reserve. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, though he'll likely need to log multiple full sessions before being the green light to be activated from IR. The Commanders currently have four running backs on the 53-man roster, which consists of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Rachaad White (shoulder), Austin Ekeler and rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen.

Stevenson was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

Per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, head coach Mike Vrabel said prior to Wednesday's session that Stevenson had "no chance" of practicing, but the running back ultimately was able to get in enough on-field work to receive a limited listing on the Patriots' first Week 5 injury report. Stevenson is banged up after he appeared to land awkwardly on his right knee after getting tackled on his final carry with 1:05 remaining in this past Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills. Vrabel noted that Stevenson hasn't been ruled out for this weekend's matchup with the Raiders, though the 28-year-old would likely need to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid taking a designation into Sunday.

The Dolphins signed Washington to the practice squad Wednesday.

Washington was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 15-10 loss to Minnesota. With De'Von Achane (knee) out for the remainder of the 2026 campaign, Washington could see more action with the Dolphins moving forward, though he likely won't have much of a role behind Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright.

Head coach Mike LaFleur said Wednesday that Love's ankle injury shouldn't impact him during Week 5 prep, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The Cardinals have yet to post Wednesday's injury report, but LaFleur previously told Dani Sureck of the team's official site on Monday that Love has a new ankle issue that's unrelated to the high-ankle sprain he tended to in August. LaFleur's most recent comments imply that Love may not have practice restrictions this week, or if he does he could be listed as "not-injury related, rest."

Pollard (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Pollard dealt with a foot issue that limited his participation in practice last week, but the veteran still played against the Ravens. He may be on a similar trajectory going into Week 5. Pollard was able to log a full practice Thursday going into Week 4. The Titans host the Texans on Sunday.

Hall (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday.

Hall's continued absence from practice comes as little surprise after head coach Aaron Glenn said prior to Wednesday's session that the running back is week-to-week. With Hall looking likely to miss a second straight game Sunday versus the Browns, Braelon Allen should be in store for another turn as the Jets' lead back.
