  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Status in question for Week 15

    Pollard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Pollard wasn't able to practice Wednesday or Thursday due to an ankle injury, and while he wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Friday's session, he ended up going down as a limited participant to end Week 15 prep. Coach Brian Callahan told Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com earlier Friday that Pollard should be able to suit up Sunday, but such a decision won't become known until about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • 49ers' Patrick Taylor: No touches Thursday

    Taylor was on the field for three offensive snaps (six percent) and did not record a touch in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.

    Taylor had an outside chance of starting Thursday's contest after fill-in starter Issac Guerendo missed multiple practices with a foot injury. The latter got a limited session in Wednesday before ultimately starting and logging 16 carries for 57 yards in the loss. Taylor did not record a touch while spending most of his night on special teams (17 snaps). With a few extra days of rest between Thursday's loss and next Sunday's tilt against Miami, Guerendo figures to start again for the 6-8 49ers in Week 16.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Full again Friday

    Homer (head) practiced fully again Friday.

    D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (groin) have missed practice each of the last two days, leaving Homer as the lone healthy running back on the Bears' active roster. Royce Freeman and Darrynton Evans would be candidates to be elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's game against the Vikings if Swift and/or Johnson can't play.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: DNP again Friday

    Johnson (concussion) remained sidelined for Friday's practice.

    Johnson was concussed on Thanksgiving Day against the Lions in Week 13 and missed last week's loss to the 49ers. If Johnson is unable to gain clearance for Monday night's game against the Vikings, Travis Homer (head) would be next up at running back. It's worth mentioning that D'Andre Swift (groin) also missed practice Thursday and Friday. Darrynton Evans and Royce Freeman are on Chicago's practice squad.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Back at practice Friday

    Kamara (illness) returned to practice Friday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Kamara's return to drills after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Commanders. If Kamara is unable to go, the Saints could opt for an extended look at Kendre Miller out of the backfield. If Kamara does play, he'd figure to again be the centerpiece of the offense, with Jake Haener named as the starting QB.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Held out of practice again

    Swift (groin) didn't practice Friday.

    Although he's played through groin or quad injuries on numerous occasions this year, Swift appears in real danger of missing Monday's game at Minnesota now that the Bears have listed him as a non-participant on consecutive days. He'll have one last chance to practice Saturday before the team releases its final injury report, and the same goes for Roschon Johnson, who remains sidelined with a concussion and is perhaps even less likely than Swift to play in Monday's game. Travis Homer is the remaining RB on the active roster, with Darrynton Evans available ln the practice squad. Homer has largely been a special teams player and passing-down specialist in the NFL, which means Evans may be the lead back if both Swift and Johnson end up inactive Monday night.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Full practice participant

    Jones (back) was a full practice participant Friday.

    Listed as limited for Thursday's walkthrough, Jones managed an upgrade in short order and figures to handle his usual role Monday night against a Bears defense that he ripped for 129 total yards and a touchdown three weeks ago. He's yet to miss a game this season, despite averaging 18.0 touches per contest in his age-30 campaign.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Questionable, but coach hopeful for Sunday

    Hall (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Per Allen, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich is hopeful regarding the running back's Week 15 status, with Rich Cimini of ESPN.com relaying that Ulbrich noted on that front that it "looks good ... promising" for Hall. Fortunately for those considering Hall in fantasy lineups, the Jets kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If, however, Hall is limited or out versus Jacksonville, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis would be in line to split the Jets' backfield duties.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Expected to go to IR

    Nwangwu (hand) is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Nwangwu played 18 snaps (one on offense and 17 on special teams) last week against Miami, but he was apparently injured along the way. Xavier Gipson is expected to take over as the Jets' kick returner.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Not spotted early on in practice

    Pollard (ankle) wasn't present during the open portion of Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Pollard didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his absence from the initial stage of Friday's session is noteworthy. The Titans' upcoming injury report will reveal his designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but if Pollard is limited or out this weekend, Tyjae Spears would be in line for added touches in Week 15.
