Hall (knee) -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars -- practiced fully Friday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

As Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, Hall, who was sidelined this past weekend, is trending in the right direction, with interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noting of the running back after practice Friday, "He looks good right now, so it's promising," according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Though it appears as though Hall has a decent chance of being available versus Jacksonville, Cimini suggests that in such a scenario Hall could have a reduced role Week 15, considering the emergence of rookie RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, who split carries in last Sunday's overtime loss to Miami.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Walker "hasn't practiced yet (this week), so we listed him as doubtful" for Sunday night's game against the Packers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Such a listing indicates Walker is more likely than not to miss a second consecutive contest, but Macdonald noted that the third-year running back has made some progress in his recovery, indicating he may be able to return Week 16 against the Vikings if he's inactive again this weekend. Zach Charbonnet thus appears slated to headline Seattle's backfield in Walker's place Sunday, which resulted in 29 touches for 193 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs in a Week 14 win at Arizona.

Mostert (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans and is expected to play, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

After limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Mostert got in a full session Friday and is ready to return following a one-game absence. It's been a challenging 2024 for the 32-year-old running back, as he's compiled a 65-236-2 rushing line while averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. He'll help spell De'Von Achane versus Houston.

Kamara (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara returned to full practice participation Friday after an illness kept him out the previous two days. He shouldn't have any limitations come Sunday, but the Saints did get fellow running back Kendre Miller more involved in the offense during last week's win over the Giants, and they'll now be playing without No. 1 quarterback Derek Carr (hand/concussion). Both developments negatively impact Kamara's fantasy projection, but he's still worth starting in most formats as the likely centerpiece of an injury-riddled offense.

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.
