Henderson (illness) did not practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Henderson will try to shed his illness and return to practice Friday. If he's unable to practice without limitations Friday, the 2025 second-round pick would likely take an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Henderson has struggled to earn playing time in recent weeks, splitting change-of-pace work behind Rhamondre Stevenson with Corey Kiner.

Monangai (thumb/toe) did not practice Thursday.

Monangai hasn't suited up since Week 4, and he continues to be bothered by a pair of injures at the start of Chicago's Week 8 prep. He'll have an extra day to recover with the Bears playing on MNF against Seattle. Roschon Johnson has played in a change-of-pace role behind D'Andre Swift during Monangai's absence.

Gibbs (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday.

Gibbs was absent from Wednesday's session due to a shoulder injury, but with his return to all activity one day later, the issue isn't a significant one. He thus should be good to go for his typical 27.7 touches per game that he's averaged through the first six contests of the campaign Sunday against the Vikings.

Sampson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Sampson was limited in the Browns' first practice of the week, but he was likely just having his reps managed after he had missed five straight games due to the knee injury before returning to action during this past Sunday's win over the Titans. With a full practice now under his belt, Sampson is in the clear to serve as the top change-of-pace option behind lead back Quinshon Judkins in this weekend's game against the Steelers.

Gainwell (hip) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Gainwell returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday's session, but he still faced some limitations Thursday. He'll have one more opportunity to upgrade to full participation Friday, and if Gainwell is able to do so, he would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Bucky Irving remains atop Tampa Bay's depth chart at running back, followed by Gainwell and Sean Tucker.

Jones (knee) is participating in Thursday's practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jones aggravated a knee injury in this past Sunday's win over the Colts and subsequently sat out practice Wednesday, but he's set to participate in at least some capacity Thursday. Jordan Mason returned from injured reserve to lead the Vikings with 15 carries for 68 yards in the 16-10 win over the Colts. If Jones ultimately suits up Sunday against the Lions, he'll likely split carries with Mason.

Robinson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday for the second day in a row, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Robinson has yet to resume practicing after sitting out Atlanta's Week 7 win over the 49ers due to a hamstring injury. Robinson will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out for a second consecutive game, in which case Khalil Herbert would likely be elevated from the practice squad to work as Bijan Robinson's backup again.

Taylor told reporters Thursday that he hasn't requested a trade out of Indianapolis, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports. "I haven't heard anything, and I can't control that," Taylor said regarding the possibility of being traded. "Obviously, you guys know that I'm always proud to wear the horseshoe, proud to be here."

The 2-5 Colts have gone into sell mode after firing GM Chris Ballard. Indianapolis traded away guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to Seattle and San Francisco, respectively, but both of those players are on expiring contracts. Taylor signed a two-year, $44 million extension with the Colts in August, so the team may not feel as much urgency to trade him, and the star running back confirmed he hasn't requested a trade. Several teams have reportedly inquired about Taylor's availability.

Price (chest) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

As was expected following head coach Mike Macdonald's comments from Monday, Price will see his first on-field work since suffering a chest injury in a Week 3 loss at Washington. The Seahawks also are honing in on a season debut for Zach Charbonnet (knee), so the team's backfield may soon be close to 100 percent. Ultimately, though, Thursday's injury report will provide a base line activity level for both RBs ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Davis didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Davis received the day off while he was feeling under the weather, but so long as he's able to get back on the practice field Friday, he should avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens. While handling a backup role behind lead back James Cook this season, Davis has carried just five times for 12 yards to go with three receptions for 40 yards through Buffalo's first six contests.
