Love (ankle) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Love has logged back-to-back DNPs to begin the practice week and appears well on his way to missing a second straight contest Sunday against the Broncos. With Love sidelined for Week 6 against the Rams, Tyler Allgeier narrowly out-snapped Bam Knight 40 to 32, but it was Knight who was far more effective in the box score. While Allgeier out-carried him 15 to 13, Knight picked up 80 rushing yards to Allgeier's 38. Knight added two catches for 18 yards on two targets and would be a worthwhile RB2/flex option in fantasy if Love does miss Sunday's game.

Blue was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Thursday.

Blue was waived by Philadelphia on Tuesday, but he has now returned as a member of the team's practice unit. The running back was active for the team's Week 6 loss to the Panthers, but he did not appear in the contest. Blue will now look to earn an elevation to the active roster again this season.

Washington (foot/back) downgraded to DNP on Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

After being limited in Wednesday's practice, Thursday's downgrade is an ominous sign for Washington's availability Sunday against the Rams. If the rookie running back is unable to play, Ashton Jeanty and Dylan Laube would be in line to handle most of the backfield work for Las Vegas.

Barkley (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

This marks Barkley's first official on-field work since he initially suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Rams. He consequently sat out Weeks 5 and 6, but his return to drills this week at least gives him a chance to suit up Monday versus the Cowboys. Barkley told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday that he wants to play in Week 7 but still needs to test out his hamstring over the next few days. Ultimately, Saturday's practice report will reveal Barkley's odds to return to action.

Mason (thumb) practiced fully Thursday.

With back-to-back uncapped sessions under his belt so far this week, Mason appears to be putting himself in a position to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Colts. He's seeking his first game action since Week 1, when he suffered a small fracture in his thumb that required surgery. If he's able to return this weekend, Mason likely will resume a timeshare with Aaron Jones out of the Vikings backfield.

Robinson (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

After Robinson opened the week as limited Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, his downgrade to no activity one day later is cause for concern. Friday's practice and his ensuing activity level likely will determine if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the 49ers. The Falcons have Khalil Herbert and Jam Miller on the practice squad in the event Robinson isn't able to handle his typical RB duties behind Bijan Robinson in Week 7.

Wright (foot) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Marce Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Wright played through this foot injury in each of Miami's last two games prior to a Week 5 bye. He'll likely suit up Sunday against the Jets but cede most of the carries to Ollie Gordon as the Dolphins continue to search for their first win of the season.

Scott has been elevated from Chicago's practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Patriots.

Scott is set to take part in a third consecutive game with the Bears on Thursday. He played exclusively on special teams in each of the previous two contests. The Bears remain without Kyle Monangai (toe) in the backfield, but it may take an injury to D'Andre Swift or Roschon Johnson for Scott to get any opportunities on offense.

Love (ankle) worked on the side with trainers during the open portion of Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Love was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and could be headed for the same fate Thursday, unless he's able to take part in drills later in Thursday's practice. Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported earlier Thursday that Love will likely miss Sunday's game against the Broncos, and Love working on a side field Thursday has done nothing to dispel that notion. Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight are poised to lead Arizona's backfield again.

Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Since being designated for return from injured reserve last week, Sampson has turned in four consecutive limited practices. While the Browns haven't indicated that Sampson has experienced any setbacks with his knee since making his return to practice, he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to put himself on a path to come off IR prior to Sunday's game against the Titans.
