Chubb, who remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, wasn't present for Friday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The same applies to Demetric Felton, with Cabot noting that the deadline for the Browns to activate either back is Saturday afternoon. If Chubb isn't cleared in advance of Sunday's game against the Patriots, D'Ernest Johnson would be in line to start at running back for the team in Week 10.

Gibson (shin) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Gibson will continue to play through a shin fracture and work as Washington's lead runner, but he did run into trouble before the Week 9 bye, finishing three straight games with no touchdowns and less than 60 total yards while playing no more than 42 percent of offensive snaps. That, after playing at least 55 percent of snaps in Washington's first five games, with 432 total yards and four TDs. Part of it seems to be the shin injury, and part of it is J.D. McKissic getting more playing time with Washington playing from behind. Whatever the case, a bye week won't necessarily have fixed the problem, especially given the difficult Week 10 matchup against Tampa's stout front seven. That said, Gibson will suit up Sunday for a ninth time in nine games this season, and he's thus far recorded at least 11 touches in every contest

Stevenson (concussion) wasn't seen during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The same applies to Damien Harris, with Friday's final injury report set to reveal whether one or both players has a chance to be cleared for Sunday's game versus the Browns. Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor are next up for touches out of New England's backfield if Stevenson and Harris are out this weekend.

Harris (concussion) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The same applies to fellow running back Rhamondre Stevenson, which clouds the duo's status for Sunday's game against the Browns. If one or both players aren't cleared for Week 10 action, Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor would be next up for touches in the Patriots' backfield.

Coach Urban Meyer said Robinson (heel) is expected to receive the questionable tag for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

The 23-year-old returned to practice as a limited participant Thursday, and he'll likely need to show significant improvement at Friday's session if he's going to avoid the questionable tag. Robinson appears on track to play Sunday, though his availability is officially up in the air for now.

Gaskin rushed 14 times for 31 yards and secured one of two targets for 14 yards in the Dolphins' 22-10 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

Gaskin found running room next to impossible to come by for the second time in five days, as his 2.2 yards per rush Thursday was only a slight improvement on the 1.8 yards per tote he'd mustered against the Texans in a Week 9 win Sunday. Gaskin's issues are primarily the result of spotty run blocking, but irrespective of the source of the problem, the fact is his fantasy value is significantly capped at the moment. Gaskin's next opportunity to break out of what is now three straight sub-40-yard efforts on the ground comes against the Jets in a Week 11 road divisional battle a week from Sunday.

Singletary's teammate Zack Moss (concussion) returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday.

Singletary has been a hot pickup all week due to the possibility that he could have the Buffalo backfield mostly to himself in Week 10 should Moss not get through all the protocols. The latter's status took an uptick with the limited session, however, as Moss still has time to clear the rest of the concussion protocols in time for Sunday's game. Singletary would be a good yardage play should Moss have to miss a game, though the former has not proven to be much of an option this season when sharing the backfield. Singletary does lead the Bills in rushing yards, but it's a modest total of 355 and he has just one trip to the end zone (one rushing, zero receiving) all season.

Hasty didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.

In his five appearances this season, Hasty hasn't been more than a change-of-pace option out of the 49ers backfield, averaging 3.7 yards on his 13 carries, gathering in 13 of 18 targets for 91 yards and scoring one TD on the ground. Now with a health concern in tow, he could be in danger of losing the backup gig behind Elijah Mitchell to Jeff Wilson, who was activated from the PUP list Saturday. Wilson was active but didn't see any action this past Sunday against the Cardinals, which could change if Hasty's injury lingers. In any case, Hasty will have two more sessions to put himself into a position to be available Monday versus the Rams.

Murray (ankle) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins.

With Murray set to miss his third straight game, look for Devonta Freeman to head a Baltimore running back committee Week 10 that also will include Le'Veon Bell and Ty'Son Williams. It's an arrangement that led to Freeman starting and logging 57 of a possible 98 snaps, while carrying 13 times for 79 yards and catching two passes for four yards and a TD in this past Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Vikings. In the same contest, Bell (23 snaps) carried 11 times for 48 yards and a TD, and Williams didn't record a touch while playing 18 snaps.

Clement (illness) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Clement was held out of practice for a second straight day as he continues to deal with an illness. If he hopes to suit up Sunday against Atlanta, he'll likely need to practice in some form Friday.
