Blasingame isn't listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday.

Blasingame was inactive for the Bears' Week 13 loss to the Packers due to an illness, but he's full go following Chicago's Week 14 bye. The undrafted fullback out of Vanderbilt has played 130 offensive snaps across 12 appearances this season, but he's yet to record a rushing attempt and failed to hail in his lone target.

Harris (thigh) was present for practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Harris has missed two straight games, but his presence at practice Wednesday suggests that he could return to action Sunday against the Raiders. The Patriots will release their first Week 15 injury report later Wednesday, when the extent of Harris' practice participation will be known. If available this weekend, Harris could fill a leading role out of the backfield, as Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with an ankle issue and uncertain to play.

Harris didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.

Harris managed an oblique issue at practice last week, but he seems to be managing a new, yet related injury in Week 15. Thursday's injury report will add further context to the running back's status for Sunday's game against the Panthers, but if Harris is limited or out this weekend, Jaylen Warren would likely be in line to serve as Pittsburgh's lead back.

Stevenson (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

An ankle injury limited Stevenson to just 13 snaps in Monday's win over the Cardinals, and the running back's absence from practice Wednesday clouds his status for this weekend's game against the Raiders. With Damien Harris dealing with a thigh issue, rookies Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong are currently the Patriots' healthiest backfield options.

Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday with a quadriceps injury, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Antonio Gibson (foot) also was listed as limited on Washington's first practice report after a Week 14 bye. Both running backs appear on track to play Sunday against the Giants, with Robinson the favorite to get more carries after running 39 times for 201 yards between Weeks 12 and 13. That included a 21-96-0 rushing and 2-15-0 receiving line a couple weeks ago against the same Giants defense he'll face Sunday.

Gibson (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Along with Gibson, fellow running back Brian Robinson (quadriceps) began the week as a limited participant, but head coach Ron Rivera hasn't provided any indication that either player is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Giants. Robinson drew more touches than Gibson in Washington's last two games prior to the team's Week 14 bye, but Gibson still played more than 40 percent of offensive snaps in those contests and took nine carries both times.

Ingram rushed once for one yard in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Patriots.

Ingram played just nine offensive snaps in the contest, while starting running back James Conner was on the field for 71 of the Cardinals 75 offensive snaps. The rookie's lack of involvement while Conner operates as a true bell cow limits any potential he has to produce for fantasy purposes. Barring injuries, Ingram should be viewed as nothing more than a handcuff to Conner going forward. The Cardinals visit the Broncos in Week 15.

Justice Hill failed to record a single touch in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.

Hill played just two of the Ravens' 61 offensive snaps as the No. 4 running back behind J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. The 25-year-old saw most of his playing time on special teams, returning two kickoffs for 39 total yards. With such limited opportunities out of the backfield, Hill should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Ravens visit the Browns in Week 15.

Drake carried the ball once for one yard and secured both of his targets for one yard in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.

Drake operated as the Ravens' No. 3 running back in the contest behind both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. With just three touches on 11 offensive snaps, Drake was a complete nonfactor Sunday, while Dobbins played 26 snaps and Edwards was on the field for 21 snaps. Going forward, it's likely that Baltimore uses a similar rotation out of the backfield, which would diminish Drake's fantasy value. The veteran should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Ravens visit the Browns in Week 15.

McCaffrey (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

McCaffrey appeared on the 49ers' practice report as a limited participant for the second day in a row, but head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn't suggested that the running back's knee irritation will cost him game action. With a quick turnaround before Thursday's matchup with Seattle, McCaffrey is likely just getting some extra rest to keep him as fresh as possible for Week 15 after he saw 16 touches in this past Sunday's win over the Buccaneers.
