Davis (ankle) was not listed on the Jets' injury report Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Davis hurt his ankle in early August and didn't play in either of New York's final two preseason games. However, head coach Aaron Glenn has expressed confidence in Davis' ability to suit up Week 1 against Pittsburgh, and that now seems to be a near certainty given the running back's avoidance of the injury report. Davis is expected to be third in the pecking order behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen in the Jets' backfield.

James (finger) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

After missing some time early in training camp due to a knee injury, James suffered a broken finger in early August that required surgery and kept him off the practice field until last Wednesday. He continues to operate with a cap on his reps as the 49ers begin to ramp up for Week 1, and with the 49ers' top three RBs Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) good to go for Sunday's contest in Seattle, there's a decent chance that James is inactive this weekend if the team doesn't rule him out by the final practice report of the week.

Guerendo (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Guerendo exited practice on Aug. 2 due to a shoulder injury and sat out the next two-and-a-half weeks, only to be healthy enough to play in the 49ers' preseason finale Aug. 23 and turn eight carries into 13 yards and one catch (on one target) into one yard. In the midst of it all, the team traded for Commanders RB Brian Robinson, placing Guerendo's status into question heading into Week 1. Even though Guerendo has a clean bill of health in advance of Sunday's contest at Seattle, he may play third fiddle out of San Francisco's backfield to starter Christian McCaffrey and Robinson.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he expects Harris (eye) will play this Friday against the Chiefs.

Harris said Monday that he planned to play, with his full practice participation Tuesday then confirming he was on track. Harbaugh echoed that Wednesday, although he declined to answer reporters' questions about the extent of Harris' Week 1 role. "Those are really hard to predict," Harbaugh said. "Play counts and things of that nature. Get in there, play football and have at it. That's kind of the mindset. Not kind of, that is the mindset."

Saints coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that Kamara will take most of the team's carries, with other running backs ready to step up when there's a chance, Erin Summers of NFL Network reports.

It's what fantasy managers want to hear four days before the season opener, even if there's nothing surprising or unexpected about Moore's quote. Kendre Miller won the No. 2 RB job this summer, but he didn't necessarily do enough to earn a big Week 1 role, more or less defaulting into his depth chart spot after rookie Devin Neal missed much of the summer with a hamstring injury. Miller and Neal could get more involved as the season progresses, but Kamara figures to take well over half of the snaps and touches this Sunday against San Francisco.

White (groin) wasn't listed on the Buccaneers' first Week 1 practice report Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

White emerged from preseason Week 1 action with a groin injury, after which coach Todd Bowles said at the time made the running back "day-to-day," per Scott Smith of the team's official site. It's unclear if Wednesday's uncapped session marks White's first since then, but he now has a clean bill of health ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta, when he'll be working in a complementary role behind No. 1 RB Bucky Irving. Such a gig amounted to 10.1 touches per game for White after Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye last season, but only 20 touches total over the final four contests, including a wild-card loss to the Commanders.

Achane (calf) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Achane said at practice Wednesday that he feels back to 100 percent health, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, so the Dolphins may simply still be taking a cautious approach to the undersized playmaker's recovery. With Mike McDaniel having said Monday that he still expects Achane to suit up Sunday on the road against Indianapolis, it sounds like the 23-year-old will be on track to play Week 1 even if he's officially listed as "questionable" on Friday's injury report. Jaylen Wright (leg) didn't practice Wednesday and appears set to miss time, so Ollie Gordon looks positioned as the No. 2 backfield option behind Achane versus the Colts.

The Seahawks re-signed Martinez to the practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The rookie seventh-round pick is back with Seattle's practice squad one day after having been cut from the unit. Martinez is competing to hold onto an emergency depth role at running back for the 2025 season.

Goodson (elbow) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

As Week 1 approaches, Goodson is the only player listed on the Colts' initial injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. While his status for the contest shouldn't impact fantasy lineups this weekend, given that top back Jonathan Taylor is healthy, the question of whether Indy would turn to Goodson or DJ Giddens in the event of an injury to Taylor remains unsettled for now.

Wright (knee) did not practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Wright is expected to miss time after undergoing surgery to address a right leg injury in late August, with coach Mike McDaniel saying the second-year running back is likely to sit out multiple weeks. Official clarity on Wright's status for Week 1 will arrive with Friday's practice report, at the latest, but fantasy managers should expect him to be unavailable Sunday at Indianapolis.
