  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: At practice Wednesday

    Henderson (concussion) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Henderson is in the NFL's concussion protocol, so it's not surprising that the running back sported a red (non-contact) jersey at Wednesday's practice. The Patriots' upcoming injury report is slated to reveal Henderson's official participation level in the session.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Clear for Thursday

    Williams (neck) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Williams played through a neck injury this past Sunday against the Chargers but still logged a 57 percent snap share en route to 11 touches for 43 yards from scrimmage. He followed up a limited walkthrough Monday with a capped practice Tuesday before handling a full walkthrough Wednesday, clearing him for Week 17 action. Despite being available to the Cowboys offense Thursday, Williams may yield some reps to backup Malik Davis, who has earned eight carries in both of the last two contests.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Back at practice

    Tuten (finger) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Per Harvey, Tuten was sporting a non-contact jersey, which suggests that he'll likely be listed as a limited participant in the session. The running back, who is dealing with a finger injury, was inactive in Week 16, but his presence at Wednesday's practice offers hope that he could be available for Sunday's game against the Colts.

  • Dylan Sampson RB | CLE

    Browns' Dylan Sampson: Looks set to practice Wednesday

    Sampson (hand) is in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    The Browns will release their first Week 17 practice report later Wednesday, when it will be known whether Sampson was a limited or full participant. Sampson was unable to practice in any fashion last week before sitting out this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills, but if the rookie running back is able to move past the hand injury this week, he could be primed to handle a lead role out of the Cleveland backfield. Quinshon Judkins (ankle/fibula) underwent season-ending surgery and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, leaving Sampson, Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders as the available backs on Cleveland's 53-man roster.

  • Ameer Abdullah RB | IND

    Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Records one catch against 49ers

    Abdullah caught his lone target for four yards in Monday's 48-27 loss to the 49ers.

    Abdullah failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest while playing just four of the Colts' 60 offensive snaps. With Jonathan Taylor handling the vast majority of snaps at running back, Abdullah and teammate Tyler Goodson are left to handle the few remaining opportunities in the Colts' backfield. The veteran cannot be trusted for fantasy purposes in a Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | IND

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Handles three carries in loss

    Goodson rushed three times for nine yards in Monday's 48-27 loss to the 49ers.

    Goodson's three carries Monday were his first rushing attempts since Week 10. In 10 appearances, the 25-year-old running back has recorded just eight rushes for 21 yards, adding two catches on three targets for eight yards. Barring an injury to Jonathan Taylor down the stretch, Goodson will remain far off the fantasy radar in a Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Minimal involvement against Titans

    Smith caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.

    Smith failed to record a single carry in the contest while the Chiefs' offense attempted just 15 rushes against the Titans. The rookie played just eight of Kansas City's 45 offensive snaps Sunday and failed to play double-digit snaps for the 10th time this season. With such limited usage, Smith remains far off the fantasy radar as the Chiefs get set to host the Broncos in Week 17.

  • Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Tending to calf injury

    Mitchell was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a calf injury, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    The Ravens didn't indicate that Mitchell sustained any sort of injury in this past Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots, so the running back's limited session Tuesday could be indicative of an in-practice setback. Regardless, the Ravens will give Mitchell a chance to potentially maintain or increase his practice activity on two more occasions before deciding whether he takes a designation into Sunday's game at Green Bay. If Mitchell isn't available this weekend, Rasheen Ali would have the change-of-pace role all to himself behind Baltimore lead back Derrick Henry.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Sits out practice

    Vidal (neck) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Vidal was forced out late in this past Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys due to a neck strain and is being viewed as day-to-day ahead of the Chargers' Week 17 game Saturday versus the Texans. He'll need to upgrade to at least limited participation in practices Wednesday and Thursday to have a shot at playing this weekend.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: In clear for Week 17

    Marks (ankle) was listed as a full participant for Tuesday's practice.

    Marks' availability for this past Sunday's eventual 23-21 win over the Raiders appeared to come down to a game-time decision, but the Texans ultimately erred on the side of caution and held the rookie running back out for the first time all season. Nick Chubb (ribs) returned from a one-game absence of his own and gained 33 yards on six carries and nine yards on one reception, but it was Jawhar Jordan (15-53-0 rushing line, five catches for 17 yards on five targets) who saw the bulk of the work out of the backfield. Both Chubb and Jordan could have roles in the Week 17 game plan, but now that Marks is back practicing without limitations, expect him to serve as the Texans' lead option in Saturday's contest versus the Chargers.
