Ty Chandler RB | MIN
Vikings' Ty Chandler: Limited at practice
Chandler (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Chandler was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday morning, and he was back on the practice field soon after. The fourth-year running back hasn't played since Week 1. Chandler strictly played on special teams in that game, and he could have a similar role once he's activated from injured reserve. His first chance will be this Sunday versus the Commanders.

Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Shakes off illness
White (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
White is no longer battling the illness that kept him out of the Week 13 loss to the Chargers. That doesn't mean he'll return to the lineup in Week 14 versus the Broncos, as White was a healthy scratch in the previous seven games.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Limited in return to practice
Demercado (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Demercado officially was back on the practice field for the first time since he suffered a high-ankle sprain during a Week 11 loss to the 49ers. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full during Week 14 prep, or he'll be at risk of entering the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. If he's active, Demercado would be in the mix for snaps along with fellow RBs Bam Knight and Michael Carter, while it's unclear if Trey Benson (knee) has a chance to return from IR after he logged a third straight DNP on Wednesday.

Trey Benson RB | ARI
Cardinals' Trey Benson: DNP on Wednesday
Benson (knee) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
On the heels of three straight missed sessions going back to last week, Benson now has one week remaining to prove the health of his knee before his 21-day window to practice expires. If that were to occur, he'd remain on injured reserve for the rest of the campaign. Meanwhile, Emari Demercado practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 11. If Benson isn't activated for Week 14 action and Demercado avoids a designation, the latter would join Bam Knight and Michael Carter as the top healthy RBs on Arizona's active roster.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Back to practice
Haskins (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
This opened a 21-day window for Haskins to practice, and he can be activated at any time. The fourth-year running back practiced with the team Wednesday and could return to game action as soon as Sunday versus the Eagles. Once he returns to action, he's unlikely to have much of a role on offense because Omarion Hampton (ankle) is nearing a return and Kimani Vidal should serve as the No. 2 back.

Dylan Sampson RB | CLE
Browns' Dylan Sampson: Misses practice Wednesday
Sampson (calf) didn't practice Wednesday.
Zac Jackson of The Athletic reported Monday that coach Kevin Stefanski considered Sampson -- who was injured in Sunday's loss to the 49ers -- day-to-day ahead of Week 14 action. If Sampson is limited or out this weekend, Jerome Ford would be in line to see added snaps behind top RB Quinshon Judkins, with Raheim Sanders in reserve.

Sione Vaki RB | DET
Lions' Sione Vaki: Deemed questionable
Vaki (thumb) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.
Vaki appeared to pick up a thumb injury during last week's loss to the Packers, putting his status in jeopardy ahead of a crucial game versus the Cowboys. If Vaki -- who has played just two offensive snaps this season -- sits out, Jacob Saylors will serve as the No. 3 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

MarShawn Lloyd RB | GB
Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Limited in return to practice
Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
This marks Lloyd's first official practice of the 2025 regular season, as he's been on injured reserve since cut-down day in late August with what before Wednesday was deemed a hamstring issue. A calf injury was listed as the reason for his restrictions to begin Week 14 prep, and he'll now have two more sessions to prove his health before the Packers potentially give him a chance to make his season debut Sunday against the Bears.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Trending in right direction for MNF
When asked Wednesday about the potential return of Hampton (ankle) for Monday night's game against the Eagles, coach Jim Harbaugh said "that question will be answered 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.
Hampton's 21-day practice window was opened last Tuesday, but the running back wasn't activated for Sunday's win over the Raiders after being limited at practice Wednesday through Friday. Added context regarding Hampton's Week 14 status will arrive via this Thursday's injury report, but it appears as though he's nearing a return to his first game action since Week 5.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Logs limited practice
Jones (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Jones made an early exit from this past Sunday's defeat in Seattle due to a shoulder injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that the Vikings don't consider it to be serious, and the running back will be considered day-to-day. Opening Week 14 prep with at least some drills generally is a good sign that Jones at least has a chance to be available Sunday versus the Commanders, but how he fares Thursday and/or Friday likely will determine if he has a designation for that contest or is ruled out ahead of time.
