Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears after practicing in a limited fashion this past week.

Murray, who has been sidelined since Week 6, thus has a chance to rejoin the Ravens' backfield this weekend, and if he does, he'd be in line to re-enter the mix in a time-share with Devonta Freeman, with Ty'Son Williams on hand in reserve. It's a context that would make Murray a speculative Week 11 fantasy lineup option, especially with QB Lamar Jackson being such a key cog in Baltimore's rushing attack.

Hasty (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Hasty's absence will create a void in the 49ers' backfield on passing downs, but his status is a secondary concern to that of lead runner Elijah Mitchell (finger), who is listed as doubtful for the contest. In the likely event Mitchell joins Hasty on the 49ers' Week 11 inactive list, the team would be left with Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon and Trenton Cannon as their available backs, assuming no other additions at the position prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Given that neither Sermon nor Cannon has played a snap on offense since Week 5, Wilson could be entrusted with a three-down workhorse role against Jacksonville.

Swift (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The Lions are now listing him with a shoulder injury rather than a groin issue, but it shouldn't make much difference as Swift prepares to suit up for a 10th time in 10 games. He does run into a few potential problems this week, with Tim Boyle likely replacing Jared Goff (oblique) at quarterback and Jamaal Williams (questionable - thigh) potentially rejoining the Detroit backfield after a two-game absence. That said, Swift was getting far more work than Williams even before the veteran was injured, and regardless of the mess around him Swift has been one of the more consistent RBs for fantasy production this year.

Green Bay lists Jones (knee) as out for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones was fully expected to miss at least one game after he was diagnosed with an MCL sprain of his right knee following last week's win over the Seahawks, but the Packers didn't officially rule him out for the Week 11 matchup until Friday. The 26-year-old's recovery timeline is estimated at 1-to-2 weeks, so if he's able to get back on the practice field next week, Jones could be ready to go for the Packers' next game Nov. 28 against the Rams. Second-year player AJ Dillon is slated to step in as Green Bay's clear lead back Sunday with Jones out for at least one contest.

Mitchell (finger) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's been a roller-coaster week in terms of Mitchell's outlook, with early pessimism replaced by optimism Wednesday afternoon when coach Kyle Shanahan said he expected the running back to play. That was one day after Mitchell had surgery on his broken finger, and since then he's been held out of practice and limited to side work with the training staff. Fellow running back JaMycal Hasty (ankle) is also ruled out for Sunday's game, leaving Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon, Trenton Cannon and FB Kyle Juszczyk as the backfield options. Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News and David Lombardi of The Athletic both expect Wilson to get the start and presumably most of the carries, while Juszczyk has often handled third-down work when Hasty's been unavailable this year.

Kamara (knee) doesn't appear to be practicing Friday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara returned Wednesday as a limited participant before dropping back to DNP on Thursday. He now seems unlikely to play Sunday against the Eagles, pending the Saints' final injury report Friday afternoon.

Barkley (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Coach Joe Judge said Friday morning that Barkley was trending in the right direction for Monday's game in Tampa Bay, while the running back himself sounded less certain a couple hours later, noting that he felt pretty good after a busy practice Friday but still wan't sure if he'd play Monday night, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Barkley again expressed uncertainty when a reporter asked him if the ankle injury is something he'll have to manage for the rest of the year, but it does seem a majority of Giants beat writers at least expect him to give it a go this week. The final injury report comes out Saturday, with Barkley perhaps having one last shot to progress to full practice participation.

The Jaguars list Robinson (heel/knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after he practiced Friday on a limited basis.

After sitting out the Jaguars' initial Week 11 practice with the two injuries, Robinson managed a pair of limited sessions to close out the week. Though the lack of full activity prevented Robinson from heading into Sunday without a designation, head coach Urban Meyer noted Friday that the running back is "feeling good," according to Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus. Meyer's assessment offers hope that Robinson will be ready to serve as the Jaguars' lead back Sunday, but fantasy managers will still want to check back in on his status when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Mitchell (finger) isn't practicing Friday, instead working off to the side with a trainer, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he expected Mitchell to bounce back from surgery Tuesday and play in Sunday's game at Jacksonville, while David Lombardi of The Athletic reports that GM John Lynch was less optimistic Friday morning in a radio appearance on KNBR. San Francisco beat writers seem to be more in line with Lynch, as Mitchell has now missed practice Wednesday through Friday. Lynch said the running back likely would be a game-day call, in which case the cross-country trip to Jacksonville becomes helpful to fantasy managers with the 49ers scheduled for 1:00 ET kickoff. Inman suggests Jeff Wilson likely will get the start if Mitchell can't go, with Trey Sermon the probable backup and FB Kyle Juszczyk potentially handling some passing downs. JaMycal Hasty (ankle) appears less likely than Mitchell to play, leaving Juszczyk, Wilson and Trenton Cannon as the passing-down options. Mitchell hasn't handled that role all year, and he isn't likely to do so anytime soon given his recent finger surgery.

McNichols (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

After sustaining the head injury in last week's win over the Saints, McNichols didn't practice Wednesday through Friday and wasn't on course to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol by Sunday. McNichols' absence leaves D'Onta Foreman and Adrian Peterson as the Titans' healthy backs, but because neither player is an accomplished pass catcher, the team could promote Dontrell Hilliard from the practice squad prior to Sunday's game as a third-down option.
