Walker (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Packers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

With Walker still not practicing and likely missing a second straight game, Zach Charbonnet should get the chance to follow up on last week's 193-yard, two-TD gem at Arizona. Walker's next shot to play would be a Week 16 home game against the Vikings on Dec. 22, followed by a Thursday game at Chicago four days later (Dec. 26).

Demercado (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Demercado played just eight offensive snaps last week against Seattle, and he's been passed on the depth chart by rookie Trey Benson in recent games. DeeJay Dallas will handle RB3 duties behind James Conner and Benson.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
