Warren (NIR - resting vet/knee) was listed as a limited participant at practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Though Warren's name was also on Wednesday's practice report, his listed limitations then only cited 'NIR -resting vet.' While the addition of 'knee' to Thursday's report is worth noting, so far there's nothing to suggest that the running back's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings in Dublin is in any danger. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Warren heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to face Minnesota.

Hubbard was limited in practice Thursday due to a calf injury.

Hubbard avoided the Panthers' first Week 4 practice report Wednesday, so his addition to it one day later could be cause for concern. Through three games this season, he's accounted for 242 yards from scrimmage and two receiving TDs on 53 touches, while backup RBs Rico Dowdle (23 touches) and Trevor Etienne (two) have combined for less than half of that total. Friday's report will be key for determining if Hubbard will continue to dominate work out of Carolina's backfield.

Swift (hip) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Swift maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he deals with a hip injury, leaving him just one more opportunity to prove his health ahead of the weekend. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Through three weeks this season, Swift is averaging 17 touches for 70.7 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one touchdown.

Charbonnet (foot) is expected to play Thursday at Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Seahawks held Charbonnet out of their Week 3 win against the Saints as he tended to a foot issue. He then logged a full walkthrough Tuesday and full practice Wednesday before the team tagged him with a questionable designation for Thursday's game. Charbonnet's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's back in action, he likely will resume his timeshare out of Seattle's backfield with Kenneth Walker.

Croskey-Merritt's knee injury that kept him from practicing Wednesday is not considered serious, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Jhabvala notes that it wouldn't be a surprise if Croskey-Merritt practices Thursday after logging a DNP on Wednesday. The rookie running back had a strong Week 1 performance, rushing 10 times for 82 yards and one touchdown, but he's turned 12 carries into just 43 rushing yards (3.6 yards per carry) in the two games since, though Croskey-Merritt did save his Week 3 fantasy line with a late touchdown. Despite Austin Ekeler's season-ending Achilles tear in Week 2, the Washington backfield remains a three-man conundrum that makes it difficult to trust any for fantasy lineups.

Shipley (oblique) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Shipley hurt his oblique in Week 1 against Dallas and hasn't been able to play since. He finished last week with a pair of limited practices and has now been cleared to practice in full, which bodes well for his likelihood of returning to gameday action Sunday in Tampa Bay. If he's able to suit up, Shipley will likely slide back into the No. 2 RB role behind workhorse Saquon Barkley.

Ouzts (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Ouzts suffered an ankle injury in Seattle's blowout Week 3 win over the Saints. He'll miss at least the next four games, ruling him out until a Week 9 matchup against the Commanders.

Prentice was signed to the Broncos' 53-man roster Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Prentice was promoted from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster for each of the first three games. He could not be elevated again, so the team has now added him to its active roster. Prentice is likely to play a handful of snaps both on offense and special teams.

Mullings (ankle) was estimated to be a DNP on Wednesday, as the Titans held a walk-through practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Mullings was active for the team's Week 3 loss to the Colts after missing one week of action with an ankle injury. The running back has now opened this week as a nonparticipant, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Texans.

Tuten (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Tuten -- who was also limited at practice last week -- sported a red (non-contact) tank during Wednesday's session. The running back was able to play in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans, carrying six times for 21 yards and a touchdown while recording a 17 percent snap share in the contest.
