  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Remains limited at practice

    Hampton (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

    The Chargers opened Hampton's 21-day practice window last Tuesday, but he wasn't activated from IR ahead of Week 13 action. While the running back still is limited at practice as Monday night's game against the Eagles approaches, coach Jim Harbaugh noted Wednesday that more will be known about Hampton's status "as the week unfolds...but what can I tell you, he's on track and looking good," Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Stays limited Thursday

    Demercado (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Demercado now has cobbled together back-to-back capped session to begin Week 14 prep as he attempts to put the high-ankle sprain that sidelined him the last two games in the rearview mirror. Fellow RB Trey Benson (knee), who remains on injured reserve, has yet to practice this week and has only six days remaining in which to be activated. The Cardinals may make rulings on both players' statuses on Friday's injury report, but if one receives a designation, it seems more likely to be Demercado at this point. If Demercado is able to rejoin the backfield mix Sunday versus the Rams, he'll be an option along with Bam Knight and Michael Carter.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Remains limited at practice

    Lloyd (calf) was limited in practice Thursday.

    The Packers opened Lloyd's practice window to return from injured reserve Monday, and he so far has logged back-to-back capped practices as he attempts to put a calf injury behind him. The 2024 third-round pick has made just one appearance (Week 2 of last season) in his pro career due to a series of health concerns that kept him sidelined, but he now appears to be ramping up toward his first game action of the current campaign. Friday's injury report will unveil whether Lloyd has a chance to play Sunday versus the Bears, but even if he receives a designation, Green Bay will need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon.

  • Tahj Brooks RB | CIN

    Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Logs full session Thursday

    Brooks (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Brooks has officially cleared step five of the league's five-step concussion protocol, as he was evidently cleared for full practice by an independent neurological consultant. The running back should be set to suit up behind Chase Brown and Samaje Perine for Sunday's road contest with the Bills.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Limited practice Thursday

    Marks (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

    After logging a 'DNP' in Wednesday's session, Marks was able to return to a limited practice a day later, which has him trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Chiefs approaches. Friday's injury report will clarify whether the running back carries an injury designation into the weekend, but it's worth noting that coach DeMeco Ryans indicated Wednesday that Marks was among Houston's initial DNPs who should be fine for Week 14 action, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Remains sidelined at practice

    Kamara (knee/ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

    Kamara remains sidelined due to the MCL sprain that he suffered in a Week 12 loss to the Falcons, with his next on-field reps marking his first since that point. The Saints can make a ruling on his availability for Week 14 on Friday's injury report, and if he's ruled out again, rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal would be in line to pace the team's backfield Sunday in Tampa Bay. In a Week 13 defeat at Miami, Neal racked up 17 touches for 69 yards from scrimmage.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Full practice Thursday

    Irving (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday.

    One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering shoulder issue, Irving handled all on-field work, indicating he's good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints. In his first game action this past Sunday against the Cardinals since Week 4, he handled a 52 percent snap share and turned 19 touches into 81 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. Meanwhile, reserve RBs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker combined for five touches for 29 total yards, so this remains Irving's backfield moving forward.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Limited again Thursday

    Jones (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Jones thus far has had a cap on his reps to begin Week 14 prep due to the shoulder issue that caused an early departure from this past Sunday's defeat in Seattle. He's been listed with shoulder injuries on Vikings practice reports since Week 10, but he's been able to suit up each of the last four games, notching 53 touches for 232 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD during that span. Jones' status will continue to be watched as the weekend approaches to see how he'll be listed ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders. Jordan Mason is on hand to handle a full workload if Jones is unable to.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Remains limited Thursday

    Jacobs (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

    Jacobs continues to deal with a lingering bone bruise in his knee that sidelined him Week 12 against the Vikings, but he returned last Thursday at Detroit and reeled off 91 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. Friday's injury report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's showdown with the Bears or cleared for action entirely.

  • Dylan Sampson RB | CLE

    Browns' Dylan Sampson: Still not practicing

    Sampson (calf) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    With back-to-back 'DNP' listings on tap, Sampson will have one more opportunity to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. If the running back is unavailable this weekend, Jerome Ford would figure to see added snaps behind starting RB Quinshon Judkins, with Raheim Sanders also on hand.
