Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: In line for activation from IR
The Chargers are expected to activate Hampton (ankle) from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com and NFL reporter Jordan Schultz report.
Hampton logged a full practice Friday for the first time since the Chargers designated him for return from injured reserve Nov. 25, getting him one step closer to his first game action since he suffered a fracture in his left ankle in Week 5. He's missed the last seven games as a result, but his imminent return will be a boon to the offense while also potentially wiping out a good portion of the value that fellow RB Kimani Vidal built up during Hampton's absence. In the end, Hampton appears set to be listed as questionable or without a designation when Los Angeles posts its final injury report of the week Saturday, and the team then will need to activate him from IR by Monday afternoon for him to have a chance to suit up in Week 14.

Malik Davis RB | DAL
Cowboys' Malik Davis: Limited carries again
Davis gained six rushing yards on three carries in Thursday's loss to the Lions.
For the fourth straight game, Davis saw either three or four totes while working as the No. 2 back for the Cowboys behind Javonte Williams. Thursday's production was by far his lowest during that stretch, however -- a disappointing showing after he broke free for a 43-yard TD in Week 13. As long as Williams remains healthy, Davis will remain little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes.

Jerome Ford RB | CLE
Browns' Jerome Ford: May benefit from injured teammate
Ford could see extra duty Sunday against the Titans due to Dylan Sampson (calf) being questionable for Week 14.
Sampson, who injured his calf in last week's loss to San Francisco, was able to practice on a limited basis Friday after missing the first two practices, but it was not enough to avoid the questionable designation. Ford spelled Sampson last week and garnered his most touches since Week 7. Quinshon Judkins dominates the playing time and touches in the backfield, but Ford was often used as a third-down back before losing time to Sampson in recent weeks.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Full participant Friday
Haskins (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Haskins upgrades to a full participant in just his second practice back from his stint on injured reserve. It is unclear if the Chargers will want to remove the running back from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, but an upgrade in practice participation is a great sign for the 26-year-old's health.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Logs full practice Friday
Hampton (ankle) practiced fully Friday.
Prior to Friday's uncapped session, Hampton had been listed as limited on the Chargers' previous four injury reports, so he's drawing ever closer to his first game action since he suffered a fracture in his left ankle Week 5. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Hampton even was wearing a normal blue jersey and took part in the red-zone walkthrough Friday, yet another sign that he's trending in the right direction. Saturday's practice report will reveal if Hampton has a designation for a Week 14 matchup versus the Eagles, but Los Angeles will need to activate him from injured reserve by Monday afternoon in order for him to have a chance to log Week 14 action.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Ruled out after Friday DNP
Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
After missing the past two games, Demercado returned to practice Wednesday and Thursday as a limited participant. He was then held out Friday and ruled out on the injury report, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter in charge of Arizona's backfield for another week. There is still a decent chance for Demercado to contribute later in December, especially after Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Trey Benson (knee) may not return this season.

MarShawn Lloyd RB | GB
Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Won't be activated for Week 14
Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Lloyd won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game. His 21-day window to resume practicing was opened Monday. The 2024 third-round draft pick has yet to suit up in the 2025 regular season.

Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Avoids injury designation
Williams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Williams upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He suffered the ankle injury during last week's loss to the Panthers, which led to Blake Corum scoring a TD late in the second quarter. Williams returned after halftime and got most of the snaps/touches down the stretch, appearing no worse for the wear.

Kenneth Walker III RB | SEA
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Good to go
Walker (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Walker played through the same injury last week, taking 16 touches for 74 yards on a 55 percent snap share in a blowout win over the Vikings. He'll lead the way for Seattle's rushing attack this Sunday, albeit with Zach Charbonnet having a significant role off the bench.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Good to go
Jacobs (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Jacobs upgraded to full practice participation Friday after logging limited sessions the previous two days. He should be busy in another key NFC North matchup, after taking 18 touches for 91 yards in a win over the Lions last week.
