MarShawn Lloyd RB | GB
Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Another limited practice
Lloyd (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Lloyd is in the midst of his second week of practicing with Green Bay after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Dec. 1. He's been a limited participant in each of Green Bay's ensuing five practices, and given that he's been on injured reserve all season, he may need to log multiple full sessions before getting cleared to make his 2025 debut. Whenever he's reinstated, Lloyd may not be in line for much of a role out of the Green Bay backfield, as Emanuel Wilson has proven to be a competent backup option this season behind lead back Josh Jacobs (knee).

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Dealing with illness
McCaffrey was limited at Thursday's practice due to an illness, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
McCaffrey ranks fifth in the entire NFL with 85 catches and also sits in third with 237 carries through 13 games this season, resulting in 1,655 yards from scrimmage and 13 total TDs. With an illness now in tow, he may need to get back to all activity Friday in order to avoid a designation for Sunday's contest against the Titans. Brian Robinson is the next RB up in San Francisco if McCaffrey cedes any backfield reps this weekend.

Ty Chandler RB | MIN
Vikings' Ty Chandler: Continues to practice
Chandler (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Chandler continues to string full practice sessions together as he works his way back from a knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Bears. If the running back is activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, he'll likely rotate in behind the top duo of Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones (shoulder).

Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Limited in practice Thursday
Marks (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Marks and fellow RB Nick Chubb (ribs) both logged 'DNPs' on Wednesday. Chubb also missed Thursday's session, which clouds his availability for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, while Marks' limited practice has him trending in the right direction for the contest. In any case, Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Chubb has a chance to play this weekend, as well Marks' official Week 15 game status.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Another limited showing
Demercado (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Demercado has been listed as limited on four of the Cardinals' last five injury reports as he continues his recovery from the high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him the last three games. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal if Demercado has a chance to rejoin Arizona's backfield Sunday at Houston, but for the time being, Bam Knight and Michael Carter are in line to continue sharing the load this weekend.

Keaton Mitchell RB | BAL
Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Upgrades to full Thursday
Mitchell (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
Mitchell has recovered from the knee injury that led to his early exit from the past Sunday's loss to the Steelers. The speedster is expected to work in a complementary role to power runner Derrick Henry against the Bengals on Sunday as part of a Baltimore backfield that's missing Justice Hill (neck, IR).

Devin Neal RB | NO
Saints' Devin Neal: Stays limited in practice
Neal (abdomen) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Neal has filled in for the absent Alvin Kamara (knee) the last two games, racking up 37 touches for 153 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD during that stretch. The former is operating with practice restrictions this week due to an abdominal injury, while the latter still hasn't practiced since he sustained a sprained MCL in Week 12. If Neal avoids a designation upon the Saints posting their final Week 15 practice report Friday, he likely will remain the team's top option at the position Sunday against the Panthers.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: No practice again Thursday
Kamara (knee/ankle) officially didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Kamara hasn't practiced since he suffered a sprained MCL in Week 12 and now is in danger of missing a third game in a row Sunday versus the Panthers. No. 2 RB Devin Neal (abdomen) remained limited at Thursday's session, meaning Evan Hull and Audric Estime currently are the two healthy options at the position on the Saints' active roster.
-
Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Listed as limited Thursday
Hall (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall mixed into positional drills after missing practice Wednesday, but he didn't quite reach full participation Thursday. Nonetheless, Hall doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jaguars, though his fantasy managers would gain peace of mind if Hall upgrades to full participation Friday and avoids an injury designation. Isaiah Davis is Hall's top backup.
-
Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | WAS
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Rodriguez (groin) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Rodriguez didn't practice Wednesday, so Thursday's limited participation marks a step in the right direction. He has received a plurality of touches in Washington's backfield in recent weeks, working slightly ahead of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols. If Rodriguez maintains that role Sunday, he could find success against a vulnerable Giants run defense, but he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid an injury designation.
