Dillon (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

It's not clear when Dillon suffered the ankle injury, but it puts his availability for Week 6 in doubt. He'll likely have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to put himself back on track to play Sunday at Philadelphia.

Shipley (foot) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

It's not much of a surprise to see a DNP next to Shipley's name on the Eagles' first injury report of Week 6 prep, given that the third-year running back was diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia following the team's 19-17 Week 5 loss to the Jaguars in London. Shipley is facing a multi-week absence, and with Saquon Barkley (hamstring) also idle for Wednesday's session, the Eagles may have to turn to Dameon Pierce to lead the backfield against the Panthers on Sunday.

Tucker did not participate in Wednesday's practice session due to a quadriceps injury.

Tucker may have picked up the injury during the Buccaneers' Week 5 win over the Cowboys, when he played seven offensive snaps and logged five carries for 18 yards. He'll have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Tampa Bay's next contest against Pittsburgh on Sunday. Even if he is available, Tucker profiles as the Bucs' RB3 behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell.

Monangai (thumb/toe) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Monangai technically is being listed with a pair of health concerns, but it's a turf toe injury that sidelined him this past Sunday at Green Bay and is threatening to keep him there for at least one more week. Fellow RB D'Andre Swift avoided the Bears' first Week 6 injury report entirely, so he's poised to be the team's clear lead runner for as long as Monangai is out.

Barkley (hamstring) officially didn't practice Wednesday.

Barkley has yet to mix into drills since suffering a right hamstring injury in the early stages of the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams. Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed hope Monday that Barkley will return to action Sunday against the Panthers, suggesting it's possible he gets back on the practice field by Friday. Until that happens, though, Barkley likely is trending toward another absence in Week 6, which would leave Philadelphia's backfield in the hands of Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele with Will Shipley (foot) set for a multi-week stay on the sideline.

Charbonnet (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Denver, Corbin K. Smith of EmeraldCitySpectrum.com reports.

The Seahawks opened Charbonnet's practice window to return from the reserve/PUP list on Oct. 1, but he's yet to log anything more than a limited practice since then. The team now has until next Thursday, Oct. 22 to activate him, or else he'll be required to miss the rest of the season by rule. Of course, Seattle does expect Charbonnet to play this season, so even if he isn't ready to play in Week 7, the move will be made next week. In the meantime, Emanuel Wilson will continue to lead the backfield, with George Holani backing him up.

Sampson (knee) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.

Despite being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Sampson didn't end up logging any reps after having his 21-day practice window opened. Prior to the Browns' first Week 6 practice, head coach Todd Monken told Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram that Sampson has a chance at being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, but the second-year back would likely need to put in a full workout Thursday or Friday to make that a reality.

Kamara (back) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

For a second straight week, Kamara is dealing with a back injury, but he was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Vikings, earning a 27 percent snap share and turning five touches into six yards from scrimmage. As for the rest of the backfield, Kendre Miller had 31 percent and 10 touches, while CJ Donaldson paced the group with 42 percent and logged five touches. None of the trio has stood out since Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on IR after Week 3, and Kamara's continued health concerns make him even less reliable for fantasy purposes on top of the current timeshare at the position.

Judkins (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com noted that Judkins was spotted Wednesday walking around the locker room without a walking boot on his right foot, but the running back ultimately wasn't able to mix into any drills during the Browns' first Week 6 practice session. Judkins will need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday for fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Ravens. At least for the time being, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are the healthy running backs on the Browns' active roster.

The Patriots listed Henderson (ankle) as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

After Henderson was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain coming out of Sunday's win over the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Tuesday that the second-year running back would avoid surgery but was expected to miss multiple weeks. While that could still be the case, Henderson's involvement in practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- suggests that the Patriots haven't yet ruled him out from playing Week 6 against the Jets. However, in the more likely event that Henderson ends up sitting out this Sunday, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in store for a larger share of the touches out of the backfield, while Corey Kiner would serve as the top complement to Stevenson.
