  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Tending to hip issue

    Swift was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury.

    Swift previously was dealing with a groin issue that caused him to sit out Week 9 at Cincinnati, but he was able to return this past Sunday and reclaim the No. 1 RB role against the Giants en route to 18 touches for 98 yards from scrimmage, while rookie Kyle Monangai turned seven carries into 28 yards and one TD. With a new health concern in tow for Swift, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on as the Bears prepare for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | CAR

    Panthers' Rico Dowdle: No practice to begin Week 11

    Dowdle (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Dowdle has sat out of Wednesday sessions regularly as of late, so it doesn't yet appear as though his current absence is anything out of the ordinary. Head coach Dave Canales said Dowdle is expected to practice Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports, which would follow Dowdle's usual trend and put him on the right trajectory for Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons. Dowdle has compiled at least 50 rushing yards in six consecutive games, with three 100-plus yardage performances and five total touchdowns in span.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Still not practicing

    Pacheco (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    It's not a great sign that Pacheco -- who was inactive in Week 9 -- will miss the Chiefs' first practice coming off a bye, but the running back will have two more chances to return to work before injury designations are posted for Sunday's game against the Broncos. In his absence during the Chiefs' 28-21 loss to the Bills on Nov. 2, Kareem Hunt paced Kansas City's backfield with 11 carries for 49 yards and a TD, adding one catch for six yards, with Brashard Smith (three carries) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (two carries) mixing in.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Limited with ankle injury

    Gordon (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Gordon managed to play through his ankle injury during Miami's win over the Bills in Week 10, though he was relegated to the No. 3 backfield role behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. If Gordon is able to upgrade to full practice reps prior to Sunday's matchup against the Commanders in Madrid, he could again overtake Wright for the top backup gig.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Opens Week 11 with full practice

    Rodriguez (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Rodriguez was forced out of Washington's loss to the Lions in Week 10 early due to a shoulder injury, but he already appears back to full health as the Commanders prepare to face off against the Dolphins in Madrid on Sunday. Prior to departing versus Detroit, Rodriguez rushed six times for 16 yards and one touchdown. Barring any setbacks, expect Rodriguez to again split backfield opportunities with Jacory Croskey-Merritt versus Miami.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Spotted at practice Wednesday

    Irving (shoulder/foot) is participating in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Irving has not played since Week 4, so though he's still reportedly expected to sit out Sunday on the road against Buffalo, it's encouraging to see the second-year pro finally back on the practice field, even for a walkthrough session. Head coach Todd Bowles indicated Monday that Irving's shoulder injury is currently holding him back more than his foot issue, so it will be notable to see whether he's still listed with both injuries on Wednesday's practice report. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will lead Tampa Bay's backfield versus Buffalo if Irving is indeed unable to suit up Week 11.

  • Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Garners two touches in loss

    Wilson rushed once for two yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.

    Wilson continued to operate as the Packers' primary backup running back, playing just 14 of Green Bay's 68 offensive snaps in the contest. Starter Josh Jacobs played 50 snaps and handled 26 touches as the preferred backfield option against Philadelphia. Going forward, Wilson should be considered nothing more than an insurance policy in the event Jacobs misses time with an injury down the stretch. The Packers are set to visit the Giants in Week 11.

  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Not involved against Eagles

    Brooks failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.

    Brooks was a complete nonfactor Monday night, playing just six of the Packers' 68 offensive snaps in the contest. The third-year running back has not handled a single carry for the past for games and is averaging a 12 percent offensive snap share this season. Brooks remains far off the fantasy radar based on his limited usage as the No. 3 running back behind starter Josh Jacobs and backup Emanuel Wilson. Next up for the Packers is a Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

  • Will Shipley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Will Shipley: Season-high six touches

    Shipley rushed four times for 17 yards and caught a pair of passes for 17 more yards in Monday's win over the Packers.

    Both Shipley's carries and catches represented season highs, but the overall picture was still quite a minor role for Shipley. He did at least see the field for 12 offensive snaps (another season high and four more than Tank Bigsby managed), but his pathway to becoming a significant part of the Eagles' offense is hard to envision as long as Saquon Barkley remains healthy.

  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Role shrinks with Barkley healthy

    Bigsby gained seven yards on three carries in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.

    He rushed for 104 yards in Week 9 after Saquon Barkley left early with a groin injury, but with the Eagles' lead back healthy again following a bye week, Bigsby had very little to do in Week 11. Bigsby also saw a smaller workload than fellow depth RB Will Shipley, who played 12 offensive snaps and had six touches compared to Bigsby's six and three.
