  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Could see increased workload

    Marks could be in position for more touches Week 10 pending the status of Nick Chubb (foot), who did not practice Wednesday.

    Chubb's status is something to monitor in the days leading up to Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. With starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) ruled out, the Texans are expected to lean on their ground game Week 10, which means Marks could see an increased workload should Chubb join Stroud on the inactive list. It's unclear when Chubb sustained the injury; he played well into the fourth quarter last week before Marks handled the team's final possession in a loss to Denver. Marks has been allotted double-digit touches in four of the last five games and has been dual threat (21 targets, 13 catches) out of the backfield during his rookie season.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Facing 26th-ranked rush defense

    Judkins is expected to be a big part of the offense in Week 10 against the Jets, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Judkins shook off a shoulder injury suffered in the Week 8 loss to New England and was a full-go during Wednesday's practice session. The Browns will look to take advantage of New York's defense, which lost two of its best players at the trade deadline and has allowed 135.8 rushing yards per game (26th in NFL). Leaning on the ground game, as Cleveland did during its Week 7 win over Miami, should be a part of the game plan under first-year offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was anointed by Kevin Stefanski to replace the head coach as the play caller this week. Judkins has been the lone highlight on a disjointed offense and should play a big role going forward as it looks to keep rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel out of difficult third-down spots.

  • Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR

    Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Signing with active roster

    The Rams signed Rivers to their active roster Wednesday, Wyatt Miller of the team's official site reports.

    Rivers has spent the entire season so far on the Rams' practice squad, but he's now a part of the 53-man roster after Week 9. It's not likely he'll see much work on offense as long as Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter are still healthy.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Limited practice Wednesday

    Johnson (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Johnson has missed the team's last two contests while nursing a back injury, but his ability to return to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The running back will have two more chances to log a full session prior to Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Practices in full Wednesday

    Nwangwu (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Nwangwu missed the Jets' last game before their Week 9 bye at Cincinnati due to a concussion, but his activity to start the new week of preparation suggests he has a good chance to be available for Week 10 versus the Browns. He has until Sunday to officially clear league concussion protocol.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Misses practice with foot injury

    Chubb was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    When reporters asked about Chubb's absence, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans simply responded, "we'll see as the week goes on." There was no clear sign of trouble during Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos, with Chubb taking 11 carries for 34 yards while playing 36 percent of snaps on offense, including a 40 percent snap share and two carries during the fourth quarter. Woody Marks will likely get more playing time if Chubb isn't available Sunday against Jacksonville, but Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce and British Brooks could also mix in for a few snaps/touches.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Expects to play this week

    Swift (groin) returned to practice Wednesday and said afterward that he'll play this Sunday against the Giants, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Swift played through the groin injury for at least two weeks and remained effective, but he was inactive for the shootout win at Cincinnati this past Sunday. He was then a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice, telling reporters afterward that he wanted to play last week but was held out by the team. Swift said he'll return this week, but fantasy managers still need to track the situation in light of Swift's acknowledgement that the decision isn't necessarily his to make. Fellow Bears running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) was also a limited practice participant Wednesday after taking 26 carries for 176 yards in the thrilling win over Cincinnati.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Croskey-Merritt (tooth) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.

    According to John Keim of ESPN.com, Croskey-Merritt was donning a black non-contact jersey Wednesday due to having received some dental work. Since Austin Ekeler (Achilles) was lost for the season Week 2, Croskey-Merritt has paced the Commanders backfield to the tune of 88 touches for 404 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs over the last seven games. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Croskey-Merritt heads into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Lions.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: DNP on Wednesday

    Jones (shoulder/toe) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Jones revealed after this past Sunday's win at Detroit that his early departure was due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. As the Vikings reconvened Wednesday to kick off Week 10 prep, his absence was attributed to shoulder and toe issues. The latter was unknown until now, so his status will be watched closely as the week continues to see if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Ravens.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Remains limited by ankle injury

    Kamara (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Kamara has been playing through an ankle injury the last four games, a stretch in which he's mustered just 167 yards from scrimmage and no TDs on 44 touches. With Kendre Miller out for the season due to a torn ACL, rookie sixth-rounder Devin Neal has taken over the No. 2 role the past two contests but managed only 23 total yards and no scores on seven touches himself. There's no indication Kamara is in danger of sitting out Sunday in Carolina or even losing his grip on the top backfield job in New Orleans, but the going has been rough for him and the rest of the Saints offense of late.
