Tucker (quadriceps) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Tucker was sidelined by a quad injury in Week 6 versus the Steelers, but it now appears he's on track to suit up again in Week 7. Regular starter Bucky Irving did not participate at practice Wednesday due to an illness, and if he was unavailable for any reason for Sunday's matchup at Carolina, Tucker would probably be looking at an expanded role in the Bucs' backfield.

Washington (foot/back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Around The NFL reports.

It's the first time this season Washington has been listed on the injury report, and it's unclear if his injuries are anything notable or just some general soreness. The rookie running back logged a season-high 34.8 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills, and he matched his season high with nine carries. Washington has appeared to be closing the gap some on Ashton Jeanty atop the depth chart, as Jeanty has been extremely inefficient with his rushing attempts this season.

Robinson (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Robinson may have tweaked his hamstring during the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears, when he recorded season lows in offensive snaps (10) and carries (two). His ability to practice in a limited capacity suggests that the injury isn't considered a serious one, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, who he played for in 2025. In the event that Robinson cannot play, the Falcons could turn to practice squad options like Jam Miller and Khalil Herbert to serve as depth options out of the backfield behind Bijan Robinson.

Dillon (ankle) was estimated as a full participant on the Panthers' official injury report Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Dillon sat out Sunday's game at Philadelphia because of an ankle injury, but it looks like he's on pace to return to action in Week 7. He figures to continue to play a change-of-pace role in Carolina's backfield behind bell cow Chuba Hubbard.

Kansas City cut Carter from its practice squad Wednesday.

Carter landed on the Chiefs' practice squad in September after missing the cut for the Falcons' initial 53-man roster for 2026, but now he's set to become a free agent again. Over seven games with Atlanta in 2025, he took nine carries for 60 yards, but he also lost a fumble.

Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of EmeraldCitySpectrum.com reports.

Charbonnet finally achieved the ever elusive full listing on the Seahawks' injury report since the team opened his practice window Oct. 1. Head coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune on Monday that Charbonnet was in line for a "full week of work" and has a "good chance" to make his season debut Sunday versus the Chiefs. Wednesday's activity generally is a good sign on that direction, but Seattle likely wants Charbonnet to string together multiple uncapped sessions before giving him the all-clear for his first game action since Jan. 17, when he tore the ACL in his left knee.

Donaldson (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

Fellow RB Alvin Kamara (back) also logged a limited session Wednesday, with added context regarding the duo's Week 7 status slated to arrive via Thursday's practice report. In the Saints' 34-27 win over the Giants in Week 6, Donaldson recorded six carries for 39 yards and lost a fumble while working alongside Kamara (seven carries for 34 yards and two catches for 35 yards with a TD) as well as Kendre Miller (20 carries for 70 yards).

Kamara (back) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

This now marks three weeks in a row in which Kamara has had practice restrictions due to a back issue, but he's been able to play through it the last two games, accounting for 75 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD on 14 touches during that stretch. The Saints may limit his on-field work Thursday and/or Friday, but there's been no indication he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Steelers in Paris.

Dowdle was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Dowdle had missed three consecutive games due to a dislocated toe on his right foot before returning to action for this past Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers. While playing 21 of the Steelers' 79 offensive snaps, Dowdle finished with seven carries for 40 yards and added three catches for nine yards, but he appears to have emerged from the contest with a new injury. His ability to practice in any capacity to begin Week 7 is generally a good sign, but Dowdle may need to upgrade to full participation by Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris.

Mason (thumb), who remains on injured reserve, practiced in full Wednesday.

The Vikings designated Mason for return from IR on Monday, and two days later he was uninhibited on the practice field. He's seeking his first game action since Week 1, after which he underwent surgery on a small fracture in his thumb. The team will need to activate Mason by Saturday afternoon in order for him to have a chance to play Sunday against the Colts, but a full practice Wednesday puts him on pace to be involved in such a transaction.
