  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Still not practicing

    Irving (foot/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Irving thus will continue to sit out drills following the Buccaneers' Week 9 bye, meaning he may be on pace for his fifth consecutive absence due to foot and shoulder issues. He does have two more chances to practice this week, but Friday's injury report may reveal that another DNP is imminent Sunday against the Patriots. Rachaad White is on hand to lead Tampa Bay's backfield if Iriving requires more time to recover.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: Tending to ankle issue

    Monangai was limited at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

    Monangai filled in for an absent D'Andre Swift (groin) this past Sunday in Cincinnati and rolled a leaky Bengals defense to the tune of 198 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches. He's now dealing with a health concern of his own, and both Monangai and Swift operated with a cap on their reps to begin Week 10 prep. The situation bears watching as the week continues to see who among the duo will be available Sunday versus the Giants.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Back to limited practice

    Swift (groin) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    One week removed from not practicing at all before sitting out this past Sunday at Cincinnati due to a lingering groin injury, Swift is back on the field and joined by No. 2 RB Kyle Monangai, who also was limited due to an ankle issue. Monangai dominated a porous Bengals defense Week 9, racking up 198 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches. With their top two backfield options banged up, the situation at the position is up in the air as the Bears prepare to face the Giants on Sunday.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Not practicing Wednesday

    Chubb (undisclosed) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    The Texans' upcoming injury report will clarify what caused Chubb's absence from the session, but with regard to the running back's status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, coach DeMeco Ryans said "we'll see as the week goes on." If Chubb is limited or out versus Jacksonville, Woody Marks would be in line for added touches, with Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks also in Houston's Week 10 backfield mix.

  • Saints' Audric Estime: Joins active roster

    The Saints signed Estime to their active roster Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    The second-year running back from Notre Dame signed with the Saints' practice squad in late October and has now earned a spot on the active roster. Estime appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Broncos in 2024, rushing 76 times for 310 yards and two touchdowns. He's likely to have a depth role in the Saints' backfield, playing behind Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Held out of practice Wednesday

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

    Dowdle was the engine of Carolina's offense during the team's upset Week 9 win over Green Bay, in which he rushed 25 times for 130 yards and two scores while catching two of three targets for 11 yards. He clearly played through pain versus the Packers, however, so it's not a complete surprise to see Dowdle now a non-participant at practice. He'll have two more chances to officially get back on the practice field before the Panthers decide whether to assign Dowdle an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Not slated to practice Wednesday

    Stevenson (toe) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Stevenson, who was inactive for the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, has two more chances to practice before injury designations are assigned for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. In his absence versus Atlanta, TreVeyon Henderson started and logged a 75 percent snap share, en route to carrying 14 times and being targeted six times, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of the team's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times and recording one target.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Not practicing Wednesday

    Cook (ankle/foot) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, coach Sean McDermott noted the injury that sidelined Cook Wednesday popped up during this past Sunday's win over the Chiefs, while adding that the running back has been sore the last couple days. Cook thus has two more chances to practice ahead of this weekend's game against the Dolphins, but if he's limited or out in Week 10, added snaps would be available for Ty Johnson and Ray Davis.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Not in line to practice

    Irving (foot/shoulder) is not expected to participate in Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Irving evidently remains in the rehab phase of his recovery from foot and shoulder injuries that have kept him sidelined since Week 4 despite the fact that the Buccaneers are coming off a bye. If he's unable to gain clearance for Sunday's home matchup against the Patriots, Tampa Bay will proceed with a familiar backfield deployment that features Rachaad White and Sean Tucker as its lead options. Chris Godwin (lower leg) is also expected to miss Wednesday's practice.

  • Michael Carter RB | TEN

    Cardinals' Michael Carter: Reverts to practice squad

    Carter reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Carter did not play a single snap as Bam Knight and Emari Demercado served as the Cardinals' two running backs during the 27-17 victory. Arizona has used up all three of Carter's elevations from the practice squad, so he would have to be signed to the 53-man roster in order for play for the Cardinals again this season. However, with Trey Benson (knee) close to returning from injured reserve, Carter's window for utility may have already closed.
