Jeanty (foot) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Jeanty was listed with both ankle and foot injuries last week, but it appears the former is no longer an issue, as only the latter accompanied his name on the first injury report the Raiders released this week. Head coach Klint Kubiak said earlier Wednesday that Jeanty is improving and will not be rested, and with a full practice under his belt there is little reason to believe otherwise.

The Saints signed Hunter to the practice squad Wednesday.

Hunter was cut from the Dolphins' practice squad Tuesday, but it didn't take long for the 2025 fourth-rounder to find a new opportunity with the Saints. Lead back Travis Etienne (hamstring) is on injured reserve, and with Alvin Kamara still working through a back issue, Hunter is a candidate to be elevated to the Saints' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants on Sunday.

Johnson (hamstring) was considered limited at the Bills' walkthrough practice Wednesday.

Johnson reeled in all four of his targets for 72 yards during Monday night's 37-34 overtime win against the Rams, but he may have picked up a hamstring injury in the process. The running back's ability to be limited Wednesday is a positive sign, but he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and erase any concern about his availability for Sunday's contest versus Las Vegas.

Etienne (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

The Panthers designated Etienne for return to practice from their injured reserve list Tuesday, and it seems like there's a chance he could be officially activated for Week 6. With free-agent acquisition AJ Dillon also tending to an ankle issue and Jonathon Brooks (abdomen) on IR, a significant role could be in store for Etienne come Sunday if he does suit up at Philadelphia.

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.
