  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Absent from practice Thursday

    Hunt (illness) did not practice Thursday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Hunt will miss a second straight practice due to an ailment he's managing. Unless he's able to resume practicing in full Friday, it looks like the veteran running back will be assigned an injury designation for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders. Isiah Pacheco could get a chance to handle a workhorse backfield role in Week 18 if Hunt can't go.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: On practice field Thursday

    Hall (knee) was spotted at practice Thursday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Hall logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, but the running back's presence at Thursday's session suggests that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Bills. The Jets' upcoming injury report will clarify Hall's official participation level, in any case.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Limited in practice

    McCaffrey (back) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    McCaffrey was held out of Tuesday's session due to back stiffness, which stems from the evident back issue he was dealing with in the waning moments of this past Sunday's win against the Bears. He did most of his damage before then in the Week 17 win, racking up 181 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD on 27 touches. Earlier Wednesday, GM John Lynch said on Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News that McCaffrey and other key 49ers were trending toward playing Saturday against the Seahawks, and the running back's upgrade in activity level from Tuesday backs up that claim. McCaffrey will have one more chance to get back to full before potentially being tagged with a designation for Week 18 action.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | IND

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Clear for Week 18 return

    Goodson (ankle) wasn't listed on the Colts' first Week 18 injury report Wednesday.

    Goodson sat out a Week 17 loss to the Jaguars due to an ankle injury, but the issue clearly is behind him, and he'll be available Sunday at Houston for his typical roles on special teams and whatever top two RBs Jonathan Taylor and Ameer Abdullah may cede on offense. In 10 games this season, Goodson has eight carries for 21 yards, two catches (on three targets) for eight yards, no touchdowns and two kick returns for 60 yards.

  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Logs full practice Wednesday

    Mostert (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Ankle and knee injuries prevented Mostert from suiting up for the Raiders' Week 17 loss to the Giants. However, his ability to practice in full Wednesday puts the veteran running back on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs. Mostert has seen limited touches on offense while operating as Ashton Jeanty's backup, with the former logging 22 carries for 104 yards and 12 catches (on as many targets) for 70 yards across 12 regular-season games.

  • Hassan Haskins RB | LAC

    Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Able to log limited practice Wednesday

    Haskins (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Haskins suffered a concussion Saturday versus the Texans, but his limited practice to begin Week 18 prep suggests he could return this Sunday against Denver. For that to happen, though, he'd have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If Haskins is able to play, he could have an elevated role on offense since head coach Jim Harbaugh has already indicated he'll rest at least some starters ahead of Los Angeles' upcoming playoff run.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Returns to practice

    Vidal (neck) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

    Omarion Hampton (DNP - ankle) and Hassan Haskins (LP - head) are also on the injury report, after Vidal and Haskins missed Saturday's loss to Houston. Health won't be the only factor, as Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh already said QB Justin Herbert won't play this Sunday at Denver. Other starters may also be held out or pulled early.

  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Not practicing

    Hampton (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

    There was no sign of injury during Saturday's 20-16 loss to the Texans, in which Hampton took 22 touches for 60 yards and a touchdown while playing 83 percent of snaps. Injury or not, Jim Harbaugh's announcement about resting Justin Herbert indicates that Hampton is highly unlikely to get a full workload this week. In fact, it's not clear the rookie will play at all, potentially opening up a starting opportunity for Kimani Vidal (neck), Hassan Haskins (head) or Jaret Patterson.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Dealing with illness

    Hunt (illness) did not practice Wednesday.

    Hunt handled his usual backfield split alongside Isiah Pacheco during Kansas City's 20-13 loss to Denver on Christmas Day in Week 17, rushing seven times for a team-high 38 yards. The veteran is facing a chance to close out the year on a positive note with a favorable matchup against the Raiders on deck for Sunday, but he'll first need to get healthy from his current ailment. Hunt will have two more chances to retake the practice field ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Limited in return to practice

    Mason (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    This marks Mason's first notable on-field work since he suffered an ankle injury early Week 16 at the Giants. Aaron Jones has paced the Vikings backfield for most of the last two contests, but he wasn't able to practice Wednesday due to a new hip issue. The activity levels of both players bears watching as the week goes on to see who among them may be available Sunday against the Packers.
