  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Steelers' Najee Harris: No Week 14 injury designation

    Harris (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing fully Friday, Brooek Pryor of ESPN reports.

    Harris steadily raised his practice participation over the course of the week, going from no practice Wednesday e to a limited session Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. The Steelers' lead back racked up 92 yards on 18 touches while playing through this oblique injury Week 13 against the Falcons, so Harris should once again be able to handle a full workload in this clash between AFC North rivals.

  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Panthers' D'Onta Foreman: Cleared for Week 14

    Foreman (foot) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.

    Coming out of the Panthers' Week 13 bye, Foreman didn't practice Wednesday due to the foot issue, but he returned to the field Thursday as a limited participant before closing the week with an uncapped session. Foreman thus looks poised to return to his usual duties as the Panthers' lead option on the ground, with Chuba Hubbard on hand behind him for complementary work out of the backfield. Foreman draws a favorable Week 14 matchup against a Seattle defense that ranks 31st in the NFL with 155.3 rushing yards allowed per game.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Four touches in win

    Williams rushed three times for 19 yards and secured one of two targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 17-16 victory against the Raiders.

    Despite seeing only eight fewer snaps than fellow running back Cam Akers, Williams was utilized far less and also ceded playing time to Malcolm Brown. Akers committed a costly fumble in the second quarter that ended a lengthy drive for the Rams, and it coincided with Williams getting his first touches of the game on the Rams' first drive of the second half. The Rams will draw one of the NFL's softest run defenses in Green Bay for Week 15, and that matchup combined with Akers having another lackluster rushing performance (12-42-1) may give Williams some hope for turning in a breakthrough game.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Slated for tests on finger

    Jacobs is set to undergo tests after injuring a pinkie finger in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The running back underwent some initial X-rays during the game, which returned negative. Jacobs was able to return to action after popping his finger back into place, finishing the night with 27 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 15 yards. Jacobs has some added healing time ahead of the team's Dec. 18 contest against the Patriots in Week 15.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Giants' Saquon Barkley: Practicing Friday

    Barkley (neck) participated in practice Friday, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

    Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, head coach Brian Daboll wouldn't commit to Barkley being available for Sunday's game against the Eagles. That said, Raanan noted that Barkley looked "fine" at practice Friday, while adding that he would be surprised if the Giants' lead back didn't play this weekend. Regardless, Barkley seems likely to carry an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Rams' Cam Akers: Finds end zone again in win

    Akers rushed 12 times for 42 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for one yard in the Rams' 17-16 win over the Raiders on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Akers once again served as the clear-cut lead back over rookie backfield mate Kyren Williams, but he ultimately logged a fairly modest workload overall. Nevertheless, the third-year pro crossed the goal line for the third time in the last two games on a one-yard touchdown run with 3:19 remaining, a score that proved critical in the comeback. While the Rams' injury-hampered offensive line isn't likely to open up many running lanes for Akers, he at least appears to have a secure role, despite his second lost fumble of the season, going into a Week 15 road matchup versus the Packers on Monday night, Dec. 19.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Another hefty workload in loss

    Jacobs rushed 27 times for 99 yards and a touchdown while securing both targets for 15 yards in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

    Jacobs opened the game in trademark fashion with a one-yard touchdown run to cap off a 12-play, 75-yard march on the Raiders' first possession. However, yards were much more at a premium throughout the rest of the game, and Jacobs also missed some time tending to a hand injury early in the second half that seemed to continue to affect him whenever he attempted to stiff-arm defenders. The star back, who saw his streak of 100-yard games narrowly stopped at three, will now get some much-needed extra rest before a Week 15 home showdown versus the Patriots.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Returns to action

    Jacobs (hand) returned to Thursday's game against the Rams, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Jacobs was forced out of the contest after suffering a hand injury, but he ultimately missed one only series. The running back was seen shaking his hand due to apparent discomfort shortly after retaking the field but subsequently did not exit the game and has continued to serve as the Raiders' lead back.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Suffers hand injury

    Jacobs is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams due to a hand injury.

    Jacobs ripped off a 15-yard run early in the third quarter but landed hard on his arm and jammed his hand in the turf. He was seen on the sideline having his hand taped and was later spotted heading into the locker room to get X-rays. Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah figure to fill in while Jacobs remains sidelined.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | JAC

    Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Still no activity at practice

    Dallas (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Both Dallas and Kenneth Walker haven't mixed into drills through two opportunities to do so during Week 14 prep as they deal with their respective recoveries from ankle injuries. At the same time, Travis Homer (knee) went from limited Wednesday to all activity Thursday, making him the best bet of the trio to be available to the Seahawks backfield Sunday versus the Panthers. Friday's injury report may include a ruling on the statuses of Walker and Dallas ahead of the weekend.
