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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Judkins (shoulder) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game at the Jets.

The Week 9 bye apparently gave him plenty of time to recover after an early departure from the Week 8 loss at New England. Judkins returns to an excellent matchup, facing a Jets defense that just lost its two best players in trades.

Gordon (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Gordon is already handling limited reps after having been forced out of Miami's loss to Baltimore on Thursday due to an ankle injury. The rookie running back is reportedly considered day-to-day, so it wouldn't be out of the question for him to gain clearance in time for Sunday's game against the Bills. Per Furones, he said Wednesday that his ankle is "OK." If Gordon isn't able to play Week 10, however, Jaylen Wright will project to handle No. 2 backfield duties behind De'Von Achane.

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Benson (knee) is "doing well" but isn't ready to practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Benson is eligible to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game at Seattle, but it doesn't sound likely without a practice appearance at the start of the week. He's working his way back from arthroscopic surgery on a meniscus injury, with reports at the time (five weeks ago) suggesting a timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. Emari Demercado and Bam Knight split backfield work during Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys, while Michael Carter was active but didn't play. None of the bunch has shown much of anything that would stop a healthy Benson from getting another look in the lead role if/when everything checks out with his knee.
