Doesn't participate in practice Gibson (toe) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Impact Gibson and Alex Smith (calf) were present for the session, but neither actually took reps with the main group, or at least they didn't do enough to be listed as limited participants. While Gibson's continued absence from practice isn't a great sign, head coach Ron Rivera said the running back has made "good progress" recovering from turf toe, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. The team isn't ready to rule Gibson out for Sunday's game against Seattle, though it's certainly possible he misses another game.

Seen at practice Wednesday Gibson (toe) was present at practice Wednesday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Unsurprisingly, Gibson didn't practice last week due to the turf toe injury that he picked up early on in Washington's Week 13 win at Pittsburgh. He may merely be out on the field Wednesday to get some work in on the side with Washington's training staff, but he at least appears to be making some progress through his health concern. Wednesday's injury report will make clear whether Gibson was able to practice.

Officially out this week Gibson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gibson never returned to the game after his first-quarter exit Monday against the Steelers. He then missed practice Wednesday through Friday, with the lack of participation suggesting he could miss time beyond Week 14. Washington figures to split backfield work between J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber this weekend, with the former likely handling more snaps and targets, while the latter is a better bet for early down carries and goal-line work. McKissic looks like the superior fantasy play, as he'd been getting a lot of targets from Alex Smith even before Gibson was hobbled by turf toe.

Not at practice Gibson (turf toe) isn't practicing Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gibson has now been held out from practice three days in a row, so it'll likely be J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber getting the backfield work Sunday in San Francisco.

Remains out at practice Gibson (toe) was listed as a non-participant on a second consecutive injury report Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Washington didn't hold practice Wednesday but returned to the field one day later sans Gibson, who suffered a turf toe injury in his left foot Monday at Pittsburgh. On Thursday, coach Ron Rivera called Gibson's injury "concerning," noting the training staff will watch the running back closely to see how he reacts to treatment. There doesn't seem to be much confidence Gibson will be able to play through the issue, but one session remains for him to get back on the field this week. In the event he sits out Sunday in San Francisco, J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber will handle backfield reps for the Football Team.

Looks doubtful for Week 14 Gibson is unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers after being diagnosed with turf toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Gibson was removed early in Monday's win over the Steelers with the left foot injury, playing just four snaps and finishing with 14 yards on two carries. Washington doesn't yet have an estimated timeline for Gibson's return, but turf toe injuries often sideline players for multiple games. Assuming Gibson is forced to sit out this weekend's game, J.D. McKissic will likely step into a larger role as Washington's top back, while Peyton Barber would see more work as an inside runner and during short-yardage situations.
