Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Another limited practice
Tracy (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions coming out of New York's loss to the Cowboys in Week 2, a contest in which he took a backseat to rookie Cam Skattebo out of the backfield and played just 42 percent of offensive snaps. While it's possible Tracy's chest injury played a part in his workload change, fantasy managers will now need to monitor his status closely heading into Sunday night's matchup against the Chiefs. Friday's practice will be Tracy's final chance to upgrade to an unrestricted activity level.

D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Bears' D'Andre Swift: Limited in practice again
Swift (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Swift appaers to have picked up a quad injury during Chicago's loss to the Lions in Week 2, and he's since put together back-to-back limited practice sessions. If he's unable to upgrade to full reps Friday, it sounds as though Swift will carry a "questionable" designation into Sunday's home game against the Cowboys. Through two appearances this season, Swift has compiled 116 rushing yards on 29 carries (4.0 YPC) and one touchdown while also securing six of eight targets for 18 yards and losing one fumble.

Sean Tucker RB | TB
Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: One kickoff return Monday
Tucker played just one snap on offense in Monday night's 20-19 win over the Texans and did not log a touch, but he returned one kickoff for 26 yards.
Despite training camp talk of having Tucker more consistently involved on offense this season, the third-year back has played just a single snap from scrimmage in each of the first two games. However, the speedy Syracuse product has recorded four total kickoff returns through two games and averaged a solid 26.8 yards on those runbacks. Nevertheless, reserve receiver Kameron Johnson was used on two of three total kickoff returns Monday night, which is at least worth noting heading into a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: DNP due to foot issue
Charbonnet didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Charbonnet played a shade more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in both of the Seahawks' first two games of the season, accounting for 27 carries for 57 yards and one touchdown and not being targeted. Meanwhile, fellow RB Kenneth Walker was capped at a 40 percent share in both contests but churned out 142 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 27 touches. If Charbonnet's new health concern impacts his game-day workload or even sidelines him, Walker would be in line for a significant boost in snaps and touches.

Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC
Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Limited by shoulder injury
Tuten was limited in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
Participation at the start of the week, even in a limited capacity, suggests Tuten has a good chance to play Sunday against the Texans. He impressed in a Week 2 loss at Cincinnati, taking 10 touches for 74 yards and a touchdown while playing 26 percent of Jacksonville's snaps on offense.

Kalel Mullings RB | TEN
Titans' Kalel Mullings: Limited on Wednesday
Mullings (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Mullings was injured in the Titans' Week 1 opener against the Broncos and missed last Sunday's loss to the Rams. With Tyjae Spears (ankle, IR) injured right now, Mullings is the Titans' RB3 behind Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut.

Jeremy McNichols RB | WAS
Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Listed as limited
McNichols was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.
McNichols wasn't listed on the injury report last week, when he took 20 percent of snaps but finished without a touch in a 27-18 loss to the Packers on Thursday. Fellow running back Austin Ekeler suffered an Achilles tear in the fourth quarter, opening up room for McNichols to get more work moving forward, though likely as part of a three-man backfield with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Chris Rodriguez. A hamstring injury could complicate things, but McNichols still has a few more chances to practice in full before Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Tending to ankle issue
Jacobs was limited in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
The Packers' ground game has struggled to get going through two contests, but Jacobs still has churned out 150 yards and two touchdowns on 42 carries while hauling in his only target for four yards. Coming off nearly a week of rest since last Thursday's win against the Commanders, though, Jacobs wasn't able to handle a full allotment of reps Wednesday as Green Bay prepares for Sunday's contest at Cleveland.
