Brooks (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Brooks moved one step closer to gaining clearance from concussion protocol by his upgrade in participation Thursday. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, the reserve running back should be set to suit up behind Chase Brown and Samaje Perine for Sunday's road contest with the Bills.

Marks (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

After logging a 'DNP' in Wednesday's session, Marks was able to return to a limited practice a day later, which has him trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Chiefs approaches. Friday's injury report will clarify whether the running back carries an injury designation into the weekend, but it's worth noting that coach DeMeco Ryans indicated Wednesday that Marks was among Houston's initial DNPs who should be fine for Week 14 action, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle.

Kamara (knee/ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Kamara remains sidelined due to the MCL sprain that he suffered in a Week 12 loss to the Falcons, with his next on-field reps marking his first since that point. The Saints can make a ruling on his availability for Week 14 on Friday's injury report, and if he's ruled out again, rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal would be in line to pace the team's backfield Sunday in Tampa Bay. In a Week 13 defeat at Miami, Neal racked up 17 touches for 69 yards from scrimmage.

Irving (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday.

One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering shoulder issue, Irving handled all on-field work, indicating he's good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints. In his first game action this past Sunday against the Cardinals since Week 4, he handled a 52 percent snap share and turned 19 touches into 81 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. Meanwhile, reserve RBs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker combined for five touches for 29 total yards, so this remains Irving's backfield moving forward.

Jones (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Jones thus far has had a cap on his reps to begin Week 14 prep due to the shoulder issue that caused an early departure from this past Sunday's defeat in Seattle. He's been listed with shoulder injuries on Vikings practice reports since Week 10, but he's been able to suit up each of the last four games, notching 53 touches for 232 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD during that span. Jones' status will continue to be watched as the weekend approaches to see how he'll be listed ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders. Jordan Mason is on hand to handle a full workload if Jones is unable to.

Jacobs (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Jacobs continues to deal with a lingering bone bruise in his knee that sidelined him Week 12 against the Vikings, but he returned last Thursday at Detroit and reeled off 91 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. Friday's injury report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's showdown with the Bears or cleared for action entirely.

Sampson (calf) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

With back-to-back 'DNP' listings on tap, Sampson will have one more opportunity to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. If the running back is unavailable this weekend, Jerome Ford would figure to see added snaps behind starting RB Quinshon Judkins, with Raheim Sanders also on hand.

Monangai (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

One day removed from logging no on-field work due to an ankle injury Wednesday, Monangai was back in the mix, which generally is a positive sign as the Bears prepare for Sunday's visit to the Packers. Friday's practice report will unveil if he enters the weekend with a designation for Week 14 action, but if he's able to suit up, he likely will continue to see regular work out of Chicago's backfield along with D'Andre Swift, which resulted in both players surpassing 120 rushing yards and scoring one TD last Friday at Philadelphia.

Benson (knee) isn't practicing Thursday, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

With just six days remaining in his 21-day window in which to potentially return from injured reserve and now five straight DNPs dating back to last week, Benson appears to be trending in the wrong direction to play again this season. The Cardinals have been riding the trio of Bam Knight, Michael Carter and Emari Demercado during Benson's absence, and Demercado practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 11. Assuming Benson isn't activated by Saturday afternoon, Knight, Carter and Demercado (provided he's active) will be the Cardinals' options out of the backfield Sunday against the Rams.

Marks (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Marks was a non-participant in Wednesday's session, so his return to the field a day later aligns with coach DeMeco Ryans' previous comment to Alexander that the running back was among the Texans' initial DNPs who should be fine for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal if Marks was limited Thursday or practiced fully.
