  • Dylan Sampson RB | CLE

    Browns' Dylan Sampson: Remains sidelined Wednesday

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sampson (hand/calf) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Sampson did not practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Cleveland's loss to the Bears in Week 15, his first missed game of the season. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field prior to Sunday's matchup against the Bills, though it's worth noting that Stefanski said all of the Browns' injured players are "trending in the right direction," per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. When healthy, Sampson will resume handling a change-of-pace role behind Quinshon Judkins.

  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Broncos' Tyler Badie: Little usage in Week 15

    Badie reeled in his lone target for a one-yard gain and returned four kickoffs for 113 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

    Badie was on the field for just seven of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps, trailing fellow running backs RJ Harvey (46 snaps) and Jaleel McLaughlin (nine) in playing time. Harvey will likely continue to dominate the usage and snaps out of the backfield when available, but his health is a bit of a question mark heading into Week 16 after he exited late in Sunday's win with a rib injury. The Broncos haven't provided word on the severity of Harvey's injury, though the team added to its backfield depth Monday by claiming Cody Schrader off waivers. If Harvey ends up sitting out this Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Badie would likely be part of a committee that includes McLaughlin and Schrader.

  • Eric Gray RB | NYG

    Giants' Eric Gray: No snaps in Week 15

    Gray was active but didn't play a snap on offense or special teams in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

    Since being activated from the reserve/PUP list in Week 12, Gray has suited up for each of the Giants' ensuing three games, but Sunday marked the first time that he had failed to receive any playing time. Gray hadn't seen any work out of the backfield but appeared on special teams in both of the previous two contests, bringing back two kickoffs for 41 yards.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Expects to play Saturday

    Jacobs, who was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and ankle injuries, said after the session that he intends to play Saturday against the Bears, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. "For me, it's harder to watch games than it is to play hurt," Jacobs said.

    The ankle issue is a new concern for Jacobs, but he's been managing stiffness and swelling in his left knee since exiting the Packers' Week 11 win over the Giants. After sitting out a Week 12 win over the Vikings, Jacobs has returned to serve as the Packers' lead back for each of the last three games, but he aggravated the knee injury early in this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. Jacobs proceeded to play through the issue and finished with 92 total yards and two touchdowns on 14 touches, but he was still feeling banged up as of Tuesday and was sporting a significant limp while moving about the locker room and addressing the media. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, head coach Matt LaFleur was less firm than Jacobs in his expectation of the running back playing Saturday, though LaFleur noted that Jacobs is "as tough as they come" and shouldn't be counted out from suiting up Week 16. The Packers' final two practice reports of the week should provide more insight into Jacobs' chances of playing Saturday.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | IND

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: No offensive snaps in loss

    Goodson failed to record a single offensive snap in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

    Goodson was not involved on offense Sunday, as the third-year running back failed to record an offensive snap for the second time this season. The 25-year-old has not been a big part of the game plan all season, playing just 28 offensive snaps in nine appearances during the 2025 campaign. Goodson has recorded just five rushes for 12 yards and two catches for eight yards over the course of the season. The Iowa product remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the 49ers.

  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: One touch in blowout loss

    Mostert caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.

    Mostert failed to record a single rushing attempt for the second straight week and the fourth time in 11 appearances. The veteran running back played just 10 of the Raiders' 42 offensive snaps, behind starter Ashton Jeanty (30) and ahead of Dylan Laube (2). As long as Jeanty is healthy, Mostert will retain little to no fantasy value with such limited usage. The Raiders are set to visit the Texans in Week 16.

  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Limited due to illness

    Bigsby was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to an illness.

    Bigsby will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's road game against the Commanders. The third-year running back is coming off his highest-usage game of the regular season, when he turned 17 carries into 57 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders. Thirteen of those carries came in the fourth quarter, as the Eagles limited the wear and tear on lead back Saquon Barkley (stinger) while they had the game well in hand.

  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Dealing with chest issue

    Brooks (chest) was estimated as a limited participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

    Brooks was a bit more involved in the offense in Week 15 with Josh Jacobs playing through a lingering knee injury, but it looks like he might have hurt his chest during Sunday's game. He still has two more chances to log a full practice before Green Bay releases its final practice report of the week Thursday.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Limited to open Week 16 prep

    Homer (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Homer picked up an ankle injury during the Bears' Week 14 loss to the Packers, which prevented him from playing in Sunday's win over the Browns. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and give himself a chance to return for Saturday's NFC North tilt against Green Bay. When healthy, Homer has mostly contributed on special teams while providing backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift and rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Sits out walk-through practice

    Barkley was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report due to a stinger.

    Barkley is tending to a stinger in the aftermath of the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders this past Sunday, when he rushed for 78 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries and added two catches for 14 yards on three targets. Assuming he can mover past the neck issue in the coming days, Barkley will be in line for another favorable matchup this Saturday against Washington's 28th-ranked run defense.
