Gibson (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Gibson dealt with a foot issue before the Commanders' last game Week 13 at the Giants in which he turned 11 touches into 59 yards from scrimmage. Even with the help of a Week 14 bye, he's still tending to the injury, but fellow running back Brian Robinson (quadriceps) has joined him on the team's practice report this week with a cap on his reps. Neither player seems in danger of sitting out Sunday's contest, again versus the Giants, with Friday's report potentially clearing up the situation entirely.

Robinson (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Both Robinson and Antonio Gibson (foot) have logged back-to-back capped sessions this week following a Week 14 bye. Robinson entered the Commanders' in-season respite having recorded between 15 and 26 touches for five consecutive games, including 23 touches for 111 yards from scrimmage in the team's last contest two weeks ago against the Giants, who just so happen to be his opponent this Sunday.

Homer is expected to operate as the No. 2 running back in Thursday's game versus the 49ers with lead back Kenneth Walker (ankle) set to return from a one-game absence, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

With a 91 percent snap share, Homer was the clear lead back in Seattle's Week 14 loss to Carolina, but that playing time translated into a mere 11 touches. Walker should be ready to play Thursday, though the Seahawks may not be comfortable returning him to his usual workload in his first game back. If that's the case, Homer could retain a larger role than he usually does when Walker is available, but Homer's fantasy value is still undoubtedly lower now that Walker is set to play in some capacity.

Jacobs (quadriceps/hand) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Jacobs managed quad and calf issues during Week 14 prep and is now dealing with a hand injury that he suffered in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams last Thursday. That said, the Raiders are expecting Jacobs to be ready to play against the Patriots this weekend. Unless he practices fully Thursday or Friday, however, Jacobs will likely approach the contest with an injury designation.

Harris (thigh) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After having missed two straight games, Harris seems to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders. His status gains added import this week, with fellow running back Rhamondre Stevenson absent from Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and uncertain to be available in Las Vegas.

Wilson (hip) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

After having been listed as a non-participant on both of the Dolphins' first two practice reports of Week 15, Wilson looks to be trending toward sitting out Saturday's game against the Bills. More clarity on his status will come following the release of Thursday's practice report, but if Wilson isn't able to face Buffalo, Raheem Mostert would have the lead-back role to himself.

Pierce (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Brooks Kubena and Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle previously reported that Pierce is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that will likely prevent him from playing in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, so his absence from the Texans' first Week 15 practice hardly comes as a surprise. Rather than suiting up this Sunday, Pierce may do well just to make it back for the Texans' Week 16 game at Tennessee, given that other reports have suggested he could be sidelined for two or three weeks. In any case, expect the Texans to formally rule Pierce out for Sunday's game by week's end, setting the stage for Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale to lead the Houston backfield for at least one contest.

Haskins (hip) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Haskins missed back-to-back games due to a hip issue, but he's logged his first full practice since suffering the injury and is trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Chargers. If available, the rookie fourth-round pick will presumably reprise his role as the team's primary kick returner and could operate as the No. 2 back behind Derrick Henry, as Dontrell Hilliard (neck) has already been ruled out for Week 15.

Barkley was a full practice participant Wednesday and isn't listed on the Giants' Week 15 injury report, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Barkley played only 20 snaps in Sunday's 48-22 loss to the Eagles, with a neck injury and the blowout nature of the game both being factors in his unusually limited role (11 touches for 48 yards on a 31 percent snap share). Prior to that, he handled at least 42 snaps and 15 touches in each of the Giants' other 12 games. There's a good chance Barkley gets back to that kind of workload in a crucial game for two wild-card hopefuls this Sunday at Washington.

Cook carried four times for six yards and added a nine-yard reception in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.

Though he and starter Devin Singletary worked in a relatively even timeshare for the second week in a row, Cook wasn't able to build on his breakthrough Week 13 outing against the Patriots, during which the rookie totaled 105 yards from scrimmage on 20 touches. Singletary was the more productive of the two backs versus the Jets (eight carries for 39 yards, one catch for four yards), but not so much so that it will guarantee him the majority of the snaps moving forward. Even if Cook sees his 41 percent snap share from Week 14 tail off a bit in another divisional game this Sunday against the Dolphins, he should at least remain ahead of trade-deadline pickup Nyheim Hines in the Bills' backfield pecking order.
