Barkley (hamstring/back) is practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

After sitting out Wednesday and Thursday's practices, Barkley's return to the field Friday at least gives him a chance to suit up Sunday night against the Commanders. His official participation level and any game designation will provide more clarity on his status heading into the weekend. Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue are next in line for snaps and carries for the Eagles if Barkley is unable to play.

Henderson (illness) isn't practicing Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After missing back-to-back practices, Henderson has two days to get healthy before the Patriots face the Dolphins on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. An absence would improve the workload projections for Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner in a favorable matchup, though Henderson got just five touches in a 30-24 loss to the Bears last week.

Spears (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Spears missed last week's loss to Cleveland, and he isn't likely to play this week after sitting out every practice. Tony Pollard figures to handle another large workload Sunday at Cincinnati.

Hall (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

After remaining limited Thursday, Hall stayed capped in Friday's session and will head into the weekend with a chance to make his first appearance since Week 3. If he's cleared to play Sunday, the Jets could have their lead running back available again, though his practice limitations coupled with Braelon Allen's success during Hall's absence keep some uncertainty around the latter's workload.

Lloyd rushed three times for seven yards and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

In his second game of the season, Josh Jacobs logged a total of 27 touches, leaving precious little work for any other back. Lloyd slightly outpaced Pierre Strong by two carries, but he still logged a season low in rush attempts. With Jacobs looking fully capable of handling a workhorse role moving forward, Lloyd may be destined for similar volume to Thursday's on most weeks as long as his star teammate is available.

Hubbard rushed 22 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and brought in seven of eight targets for 38 yards in the Panthers' 27-19 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

Hubbard was able to log his usual hefty workload despite Carolina trailing for large swaths of the contest, and the veteran back added his fifth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard run on the first play of the second quarter. Hubbard also led the Panthers in receptions with a season-high figure, and he now has seven total scores in seven games. Hubbard averaged under 4.0 yards per carry for the first time this season, but he's still clocking 4.6 yards per tote heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Jacobs rushed 21 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and brought in all six targets for 13 yards and another score in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

Jacobs saw a sizable increase in workload after making his Week 7 season debut just four days earlier, and although he couldn't crack the code of what had been a vulnerable Panthers run defense, he still put together a useful fantasy performance thanks to the pair of scores. The veteran back first went into the end zone on a one-yard run that capped off a nine-play, 90-yard march in the second quarter, and he added his four-yard touchdown grab midway through the third. Jacobs looks fully prepared to remain in a workhorse role moving forward, and he'll next take aim at the Patriots' talented front seven in a Week 9 road showdown on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Jones (hamstring) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday.

Jones exited Sunday night's 20-3 win over Kansas City in the second half with a hamstring injury, and he appears to still be nursing the injury ahead of Week 8. The running back will have two more chances to return to practice before Monday night's contest against the Bears.

Allen (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

Allen wasn't listed on the Jaguars' practice report Wednesday, thus he likely picked up the hamstring issue during practice following the team's Week 7 bye. It's unclear how serious the issue is, so the second-year running back's practice participation level Friday should provide clarity about his likelihood of suiting up in Week 8 against Indianapolis. Allen has handled only one carry through six contests, so an absence would primarily affect Jacksonville's special-teams unit.

Allgeier (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

After Allgeier sat out Wednesday's session due to a toe injury, his ability to mix into drills one day later generally is a good sign as the Cardinals go through Week 8 prep. Friday's practice report will unveil if Allgeier enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Dallas, and also whether or not rookie RB Jeremiyah Love has a chance to put an end to a two-game absence. Currently, Bam Knight is the only healthy backfield option on Arizona's active roster.
