  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Managing ankle injury

    Marks didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

    Marks was forced out of this past Sunday's win over the Colts due to a foot injury, but he subsequently returned to the contest. The running back is now listed as having an ankle issue, but according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, coach DeMeco Ryans noted Wednesday that Marks was among the Texans' DNPs who should be fine for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Limited Wednesday, expected to play Sunday

    Coach Sean McVay said Williams (ankle) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, but he expects the running back to play Sunday at Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Williams missed some time during this past Sunday's loss at Carolina to have his right ankle examined, but he resumed play after halftime and finished with 13 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown while not hauling in his only target on a 67 percent snap share. Meanwhile, fellow RB Blake Corum had seven carries for 81 yards and one TD on 33 percent of the plays. In five games since the Rams' Week 8 bye, Williams' offensive snap count has ranged between 66 and 69 percent on four occasions, while the fifth (Week 10) was slightly lower at 59 percent. Assuming he's able suit up this weekend, Williams should continue to earn a majority share of the backfield reps over Corum.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Limited listing Wednesday

    Irving (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

    Making his first appearance since Week 4 this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Irving led the Buccaneers backfield to the tune of 19 touches for 81 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 52 percent snap share. His previous seven-game absence was induced by a subluxation of his left shoulder and a left foot sprain, the former of which is impacting his practice reps to kick off Week 14 prep. Irving will have two more chances to get back to full this week before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Limited Wednesday

    Jacobs (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Jacobs missed the Packers' Week 12 win against the Vikings due to a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he was able to return to action for last Thursday's victory at Detroit and paced the backfield in the process, taking 17 carries for 83 yards and catching his only target for eight yards. The aforementioned knee issue continues to linger, but there's been no indication that he's in any danger of being absent Sunday versus the Bears.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Still not practicing

    Kamara (knee/ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Kamara hasn't practiced since he sustained a sprained MCL during a Week 12 loss to the Falcons, and until he does he may not be a candidate to play on game days. Nevertheless, he'll have two more opportunities to prove his health this week before the Saints potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay. If Kamara requires more time to recover, Devin Neal would be in line for his second start in a row after turniing 17 touches into 69 yards from scrimmage this past Sunday in Miami.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: Listed as DNP on Wednesday

    Monangai was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury.

    Monangai was listed with an ankle injury ahead of the Bears' Week 10 matchup against the Giants, but his listed lack of activity to begin Week 14 prep is somewhat worrisome as the team prepares for Sunday's road showdown with the Packers. His status thus will be monitored closely as the week continues to see if he practices Thursday and/or Friday, after which the Bears may tag him with a designation. D'Andre Swift would take on most of the backfield reps this weekend if Monangai is inhibited or sidelined.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Not practicing Wednesday

    Marks (foot) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle and Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston report.

    Marks exited Sunday's win over the Colts due to a foot injury, but was able to return to the contest en route to logging 41 snaps, 19 carries and a catch. With no setbacks having been reported since then, there's a solid chance that Marks' absence is maintenance-related, a notion echoed by coach DeMeco Ryans, who, according to Wilson, indicated that Marks was among the Texans' Wednesday DNPs who will be fine for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

  • Trey Benson RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey Benson: Not spotted at practice

    Benson (knee) was absent from the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    If Benson goes down as a non-participant Wednesday, it'll mark his third consecutive DNP dating back to last week. He's now exactly two weeks into his 21-day practice window in which to return from injured reserve, but the recent string of missed sessions isn't a great sign that will come to pass. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not Benson was able to take part in any drills to begin Week 14 prep.

  • Ty Chandler RB | MIN

    Vikings' Ty Chandler: Designated to return

    Chandler (knee) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

    The 27-year-old has missed Minnesota's last 11 games due to a knee injury sustained in the Week 1 win over the Bears. However, his 21-day practice window opening Wednesday suggests he's nearing a return. Once fully healthy, Chandler is expected to handle kick-return duties while playing a depth role in the Vikings' backfield.

  • Tahj Brooks RB | CIN

    Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Logs limited session Wednesday

    Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters that Brooks (concussion) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Brooks was sidelined for the Bengals' Week 13 win over the Ravens after sustaining a concussion the game prior. His limited practice session Wednesday is an encouraging sign for his return, though he still needs to clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Bills. If active for the Week 14 contest, Brooks will likely play behind both Chase Brown and Samaje Perine in Cincinnati's backfield.
