  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Set to play Saturday

    McCaffrey (back) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    McCaffrey initially dealt with a back injury in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Bears. Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, the issue was described as stiffness by the running back himself Tuesday, when he didn't practice, but McCaffrey got back on the practice field Wednesday as a limited participant and now is clear for Week 18. McCaffrey is four catches away from reaching 100 for the third time in his career.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Another missed practice

    Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday.

    Kamara appears on track to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, which would constitute his sixth straight missed contest. With Devin Neal (hamstring) having been placed on IR in Week 16, Audric Estime will be positioned to close out the 2025 campaign as New Orleans' backfield leader if Kamara indeed can't play Week 18.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Limited again Thursday

    Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

    Jacobs has been battling lower-body injuries since he sustained a knee injury Week 11 at the Giants. He sat out Week 12 against the Vikings as a result, but he's suited up for each of the last five contests, totaling 73 touches during that span. Jacobs actually ranked third among Packers RBs in offensive snaps (13) behind Chris Brooks (21) and Emanuel Wilson (17) in Week 17, and with the team locked in to the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs could find himself inactive Sunday at Minnesota to get him as healthy as possible for the postseason.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Misses another practice

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

    Achane is missing a second consecutive practice due to a shoulder injury, giving him just one more chance to handle on-field reps ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots. If the star playmaker is unable to suit up Week 18, Jaylen Wright will figure to lead Miami's backfield on the road against New England, while Ollie Gordon will also stand to inherit an increased role on offense.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Full practice Thursday

    Mason (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

    Mason was knocked out on the first possession of a Week 16 win at the Giants due to an ankle injury that sidelined him last Thursday against the Lions, He's now progressed from limited Wednesday to all activity one day later, while fellow RB Aaron Jones (hip) has yet to practice this week. If Jones is inhibited or sidelined Sunday versus the Packers, Mason could be in line for a leading role Week 18.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Another DNP on Thursday

    Jones (hip) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Jones has yet to practice this week due to a new hip injury, while fellow RB Jordan Mason upgraded from limited Wednesday to all activity Thursday as the latter attempts to miss just one game due to an ankle issue. Friday's injury report will reveal Jones' odds to suit up Sunday versus the Packers.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Misses another practice

    Brown (illness) didn't practice Thursday.

    Following back-to-back 'DNPs,' the focus shifts to what -- if anything -- Brown is able to do in the Bengals' final practice of the season Friday. If he's limited or sidelined Sunday against the Browns, added snaps/touches would be available for fellow RBs Samaje Perine and Tahj Brooks.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Full practice Thursday

    Croskey-Merritt (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Croskey-Merritt missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, but he appears to have already returned to full health. He and Chris Rodriguez look positioned to split backfield reps again during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Eagles. With Rodriguez sidelined by illness himself in Week 17, Croskey-Merritt managed to rush for 105 yards and two touchdown on just 11 carries, momentum that could result in him seeing a larger share of the backfield workload versus Philadelphia.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Logs limited practice Thursday

    Hall (knee) was listed as limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Hall suffered a knee injury during Week 17 action that he subsequently downplayed, and though he didn't practice Wednesday, the running back's return to a capped session Thursday suggests that he has a chance to play through the issue in Sunday's season finale against the Bills. Friday's final injury report will clarify whether Hall heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 18 action.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Not spotted at start of practice

    Brown (illness) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Should Brown be officially deemed a 'DNP' on Thursday's injury report, he'll have one more opportunity to practice ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Browns. If the running back ends up sidelined this weekend, added backfield reps in Week 18 would be available for Samaje Perine and Tahj Brooks.
