Love (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Love maintained his activity level from Wednesday, which followed two weeks off due to a lingering ankle injury. Head coach Mike LaFleur hasn't indicated if Love actually has a chance to return to action Sunday at Dallas, but Friday's practice report will reveal his chances to do so.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

Johnson didn't suit up in the Week 7 loss to Detroit. The 23-year-old will be held out for a second consecutive contest, and he likely won't get back on the field moving forward if Josh Jacobs, MarShawn Lloyd and Pierre Strong are active.

Price (chest) was limited in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

It was Price's first practice after being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Thursday, which opened the rookie running back's 21-day window for activation. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) potentially set to debut Monday night against the Bears and the presence of both Emanuel Wilson and George Holani, it's difficult to see any of these running backs being reliable fantasy options until/unless the Seahawks pare this backfield down.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Packers, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Dillon will be a healthy scratch for the second straight week as the Panthers go with Chuba Hubbard, Trevor Etienne and Anthony Tyus as their three options in the backfield. Dillon appears to have found himself far down the pecking order, and he is unlikely to be a major part of Carolina's future plans.

Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Going back to last week, Charbonnet now has logged four straight full sessions, indicating that he's drawing closer to his first game action since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17. Of course, the Seahawks didn't clear him to return this past Sunday against the Chiefs, and rookie first-round RB Jadarian Price (chest) was limited Thursday after the Seahawks designated him for return from IR, throwing another question mark into the potential backfield for Week 8. In any case, Charbonnet will have two more chances to prove his health before Seattle makes a ruling on his status ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Barkley (hamstring/back) didn't practice Thursday.

Barkley has yet to practice this week due to dueling hamstring and back issues, the latter of which knocked him out of Monday's loss to the Cowboys. He relayed to Tim McManus of ESPN.com afterward that he isn't concerned about the most recent injury, but he now has just one more chance to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. With all of Tank Bigsby (abdomen), Will Shipley (foot) and Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) on IR, Jaydon Blue currently is the only healthy RB on the Eagles' active roster, though the team also used practice squad member Elijah Mitchell in Monday's loss to the Cowboys.

Harvey (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Harvey wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, and it's unclear if his limitations a day later stemmed from Denver's initial practice or were the result of an issue the running back encountered Thursday. In any case, added context with regard to Harvey's status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs will arrive no later than Friday. If available this weekend, Harvey will contend with J.K. Dobbinsand Jonah Coleman for Denver's Week 8 backfield touches.

Jones (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice.

In the wake of making an early exit from this past Sunday's win against the Colts after aggravating a knee injury, Jones didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to drills one day later generally is a good sign in the midst of Week 8 prep. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Allen (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Allen began Week 8 prep as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but he shed all limitations Thursday, while Breece Hall (quadriceps) remained limited for a second consecutive practice Thursday. Hall got the majority of backfield touches over Allen when both were healthy to begin the season, but the former hasn't seen game action since Week 3. Allen should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Raiders, but uncertainty lingers regarding Hall's status.

Hall (quadriceps) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

Hall last suited up in Week 3, but back-to-back limited practices suggest that the running back could return to the Jets' lineup Sunday against the Raiders. That said, Hall will likely need to log a full practice Friday in order to approach Week 8 action without an injury designation.
