  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Broncos' Tyler Badie: Deemed questionable for Saturday

    Badie (back), who is still on injured reserve, is questionable to suit up in Saturday's Week 17 contest against the Bengals, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Badie landed on IR in early October due to a back injury. He was designated to return Tuesday and logged a trio of full practices this week. Badie hasn't yet been activated from IR, and Denver would need to make that move by the end of Friday in order for Badie to be eligible to suit up Saturday. If Badie does play against the Bengals, he probably wouldn't see much work on offense with fellow running backs Javonte Williams, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson all healthy.

  • Dylan Laube RB | LV

    Raiders' Dylan Laube: No practice Thursday due to illness

    Laube (illness) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Laube wasn't listed on Las Vegas' injury report Wednesday, but an illness prevented him from participating in the team's second practice of the week. It's not clear at this point if the rookie running back is at risk of missing Sunday's contest against New Orleans. Laube has logged just one snap on offense this season, but he's been contributing as a kick returner since Week 12.

  • Trey Benson RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey Benson: Status in question for Week 17

    Benson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest at the Rams, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    After sitting out Week 16 at Carolina due to an ankle injury, Benson has been listed as limited on all three Week 17 practice reports. No. 1 RB James Conner (knee) followed the same regimen this week, but coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com on Thursday that he wasn't certain about the statuses of both running backs. In the end, The Cardinals will post their list of inactives about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Conner and/or Benson are limited or sidelined, Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas are the next players up at the position.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Taking over as lead back

    Charbonnet is slated to serve as Seattle's lead back for the final two games of the regular season after Kenneth Walker was placed on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Walker had already been ruled out in advance of Thursday's game in Chicago, but his move to IR sets up Charbonnet for two starts to close out the season, and potentially at least two more in the playoffs if the Seahawks are able to punch their ticket to the postseason by beating out the Rams for the NFC West title. Charbonnet projects as a strong option in fantasy lineups in Week 17, given the heavy volume the Seahawks have given him in the other four games Walker has missed this season. In those four contests, Charbonnet has scored six touchdowns and has averaged 19.5 touches for 108.8 scrimmage yards.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Officially questionable for Saturday

    Conner (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at the Rams, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Conner made an early departure from this past Sunday's loss in Carolina due to a knee injury, which contained him to limited listings on all three Week 17 practice reports. The Cardinals held practice Wednesday and Thursday, the latter of which Conner was spotted with a sleeve on his right leg, per Mackie. Coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com earlier Thursday that Conner has made "good progress" in his recovery, but he also was unsure of the statuses of both Conner and fellow RB Trey Benson (ankle), who also is listed as questionable. Ultimately, Arizona will post its list of inactives for Saturday's game about 90 minutes before an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if either or both RBs are inhibited or sidelined, Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas are the next options at the position.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: No practice Thursday

    Kamara (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Kamara has been held out of all drills since sustaining an adductor injury Week 15 against the Commanders, but interim coach Darren Rizzi told John Hendrix of SI.com on Thursday that the running back was in the midst of rehab and in "good spirits." Such comments don't exactly shed light on Kamara's prospects for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, but Friday's practice report may provide some clarity on that front. Kendre Miller, Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims are on hand in the event Kamara requires another absence this weekend.

  • Will Shipley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Will Shipley: Not practicing Thursday

    Shipley (concussion) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Shipley was diagnosed with a concussion following the Eagles' Week 16 loss to the Commanders. His inability to practice Thursday indicates that he is facing an uphill battle to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. The Eagles signed Lew Nichols to the practice squad Thursday, and he could be elevated to the active roster to serve as the No. 3 running back behind Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell if Shipley is unable to play Sunday.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Sidelined for another practice

    Pollard (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Pollard will go down as a non-participant for the seventh time on the Titans' last eight practice reports, but the running back has yet to miss a game. However, after sitting out all three of the Titans' sessions last week before taking a questionable tag into the weekend, Pollard played a season-low 40 percent of the offensive snaps in a 38-30 loss to the Colts. Even if Pollard is able to suit up again this Sunday in Jacksonville, he could once again find himself in a timeshare out of the backfield with Tyjae Spears, who played the other 60 percent of snaps last week and scored two touchdowns while accounting for 66 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches (10 carries, three receptions).

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Moves to injured reserve

    The Seahawks placed Walker (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Walker already was ruled out for Thursday's game at Chicago due to an ankle injury that he sustained in the second half of this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but he'll now be out Week 18 and for any playoff matchups that Seattle would have before the NFC Championship Game, assuming the team qualifies and makes it that far. In the meantime, Zach Charbonnet will pace the Seahawks backfield while Kenny McIntosh backs him up.

  • Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Logs one touch vs. Kansas City

    Patterson rushed once for two yards during Wednesday's 29-10 loss to Kansas City.

    Patterson was on the field for just one offensive snap Wednesday, and he had minimal production on his lone carry. The 33-year-old has played single-digit snaps on offense in four consecutive weeks, and he's rushed seven times for 14 yards while securing all three of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during that time.
