  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: No practice Wednesday

    Tuten (finger) did not practice Wednesday.

    Tuten is expected to undergo right finger surgery and miss multiple weeks, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN, though the Jaguars haven't yet officially ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. John Shipley of SI reports that LeQuint Allen will step into a larger role on offense behind Travis Etienne as long as Tuten remains sidelined, while Jacksonville signed DeeJay Dallas on Tuesday to contribute on special teams.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: No practice yet

    Kamara (knee/ankle) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Kamara has yet to practice since he sustained a sprained MCL in Week 12, but the fact that coach Kellen Moore already has ruled out fellow RB Devin Neal (hamstring) for Week 16 action, per Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune, would seem to indicate Kamara may be on the brink of a return to action. In order to do so, though, Kamara likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday. Evan Hull and Audric Estime are the only healthy backfield options on the Saints' active roster at the moment.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Should be fine to play

    Broncos coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that he isn't worried about Harvey's rib injury, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Harvey missed the final few snaps of Sunday's 34-26 win over Green Bay after suffering a rib injury late in the fourth quarter. He's practicing Wednesday, with Payton suggesting afterward that the recent signing of RB Cody Schrader is unrelated to Harvey's injury, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. The Broncos seemingly expect their rookie RB to start again this Sunday against Jacksonville following back-to-back games with a 68 percent snap share and 17-plus carries. Harvey did lose a fumble this past Sunday, but Payton attributed it to a great defensive play and said there was no issue with the way Harvey was carrying the ball. In other words, Harvey should be busy again this Sunday so long as he overcomes the rib injury and continues practicing this week.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Limited by neck issue

    Williams (neck) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Williams missed a portion of the first half of this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings due to a shoulder injury, but he returned to action after halftime and finished with 15 carries for 91 yards and one touchdown on a 28 percent snap share. Upon the Cowboys posting their first Week 16 practice report, his health concern has been reclassified as neck, and he'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chargers. Malik Davis was the RB to benefit most with Williams banged up Week 15, as the former handled 52 percent of the snaps and turned 10 touches into 37 total yards and one TD.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Present for practice Wednesday

    Harvey (ribs) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Harvey, who recorded a 68 percent snap share in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers en route to carrying 19 times for 65 yards and a touchdown, emerged from the contest with a rib issue. With that in mind, the running back's presence at practice Wednesday is a positive sign ahead of this weekend's game against the Jaguars, with the Broncos' upcoming injury report destined to provide his official participation level in the session.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Won't play Week 16

    Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that Neal (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Neal will miss at least one game due to the hamstring injury that forced him out of New Orleans's win over the Panthers in Week 15, in which he drew a third straight start in place of Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle). With Neal now ruled out and Kamara still not practicing, Evan Hull and Audric Estime now become candidates to lead the Saints' backfield heading into a crucial Week 16 fantasy slate. Hull and Estime split time versus Carolina after Neal departed with injury.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Not practicing

    Lloyd (calf/hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur recently hinted that Lloyd is unlikely to play this season. The running back injured his calf while rehabbing from a hamstring injury and then tweaked the hamstring once his calf got better. That's about how things have gone for Lloyd through two pro seasons.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Jacobs (knee/ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    After sitting out Tuesday's walkthrough due to lingering knee and ankle injuries, Jacobs told Ryan Wood of USA Today that he intends to play Saturday at Chicago, adding, "For me, it's harder to watch games than it is to play hurt." Jacobs had a significant limp in the locker room Tuesday while also wearing a knee brace, but if he follows a similar practice regimen to last week, he'd log a limited practice Thursday before being listed as questionable for Week 16 action. With Chris Brooks (chest) limited this week, Emanuel Wilson is the only healthy RB on the Packers' active roster.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Dealing with groin injury

    Swift was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.

    Swift was added to the Bears' Week 16 injury report midweek, which often indicates a health concern suffered on the practice field. How he's listed Thursday will provide a sense of his ability to suit up Saturday against the Packers, but Kyle Monangai is on hand in the event Swift is inhibited or sidelined.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Back at practice

    Barkley (stinger) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

    Barkley was held out of Tuesday's walk-through session due to the stinger he picked up during Philadelphia's blowout win over the Raiders in Week 15, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field. The veteran running back has scored in back-to-back games and handled 20 or more carries in four of six games since the Eagles' bye, and he's set for a favorable matchup against Washington's vulnerable run defense Saturday. If he's able to upgrade to full practice reps Thursday, Barkley could avoid an injury designation entirely for Week 16.
