Pollard (thigh) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Pollard was held out of practice before sitting out last Thursday's game at Tennessee as he dealt with a thigh injury. With his return to full activity in the first session of Week 18 prep, the fourth-year pro is past the health concern as the Cowboys turn their focus toward Sunday's matchup with the Commanders. With the NFC East title and No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs still in the line, Dallas likely will roll with all its regulars this weekend. If so, Pollard will be poised for his usual allotment of roughly 15 touches per game.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Mitchell (knee) will practice Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

As a result, Mitchell's 21-day window to return from injured reserve will officially open. The second-year running back is five weeks into his recovery from a sprained MCL in his left knee, an injury that was expected to entail a 6-to-8-week healing process. It's unknown if Mitchell has a chance to play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Cardinals, but with Christian McCaffrey dealing with a mild ankle sprain, Jordan Mason and Tyrion Davis-Price are the only healthy backs on San Francisco's active roster.

McCaffrey (ankle) won't take part in Wednesday's practice, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Prior to this past Sunday's overtime win at Las Vegas, McCaffrey had been dealing with a knee issue since late November, but he continued to pace the backfield for five consecutive games to the tune of 115 touches for 688 yards from scrimmage and six total touchdowns. After Week 17 action, however, he's tending to a mild ankle sprain, which is keeping him off the practice field to begin Week 18 prep. As such, McCaffrey's status will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Barkley said he plans to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, unless head coach Brian Daboll prevents him from doing so, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

The catch is that Daboll may do just that, as the Giants are locked into the No. 6 seed and a likely wild-card matchup with Minnesota or San Francisco, depending on how those two teams fare in Week 18. There's no guarantee of Barkley playing more than a few snaps even if he gets the start this Sunday.

Gibson (knee/foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Gibson has been dealing with the foot injury for more than a month without missing a game, but the knee sprain he suffered Week 16 against San Francisco rendered him inactive for the Week 17 loss to Cleveland. With Washington having been eliminated from playoff contention, Gibson may be in line to sit out Sunday's season finale versus Dallas, though it's perhaps still possible he plays if he returns to practice Thursday or Friday.

White (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's estimated injury report, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

White missed each of the team's last two games, but it appears he'll likely be able to play in the team's season finale Saturday against the Chiefs. It's been a relatively quiet season for the rookie, who has seen just 34 offensive snaps in 13 games, which has led to 16 carries on 66 yards. However, it's always possible he could see a heavier workload to close out the season.

Mack (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Mack injured his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, and he was not expected to recover in time to play Week 18 against the Chargers. His move to IR ensures he won't, while also creating room for cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian to be added to the active roster. Mack's season will end with him having appeared in eight games, two with the 49ers and six with the Broncos, seeing 16 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also caught eight of his 10 targets for 99 yards and another touchdown.

Jacobs (hip/oblique) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs missed some time this past Sunday against the 49ers due to a hip injury, which, along with an oblique issue, would have capped his reps Tuesday if the Raiders had held a session. The fourth-year pro will have two more opportunities to get back to full before the team potentially gives him a designation ahead of Saturday's scheduled 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Henry (hip) practiced fully Tuesday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Prior to sitting out last Thursday versus the Cowboys, Henry managed two limited sessions due to hip injury. With a full practice under is belt to start Week 18 prep, he's now in line to reclaim his role as the Titans' unquestioned top running back ahead of Saturday's scheduled 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. For the season, that's amounted to 23.4 touches for 120.5 yards from scrimmage per game and 13 rushing TDs in 15 appearances.

Wilkins was waived by the Colts on Tuesday.

Wilkins appeared in four games with the Colts this season, earning 13 carries for 58 yards, while also making six catches on eight targets for 29 yards. His departure comes as the team has opted to sign Jake Funk to the active roster from its practice squad.
