Achane (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins made it official a few hours after coach Mike McDaniel announced Achane was ready to return. The rookie had a setback with his knee in his first game back from a stint on injured reserve, but the Dolphins don't seem too worried about a significant aggravation occurring. Achane figures to share backfield work with Raheem Mostert and possibly Jeff Wilson as well.

Abanikanda (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The rookie running back out of Pittsburgh seems to be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he was able to log a limited practice session Friday after recording consecutive DNPs to begin the Jets' week of practice. Abanikanda's injury status will be something to look out for, as Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also listed as questionable for Week 13's contest.

Mostert (ankle/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Mostert played through the same injury last week en route to a 20-89-2 rushing line and then managed limited practices this Thursday and Friday. The real threat to his value is the return of De'Von Achane (knee), who was a full participant Friday and also enters Sunday without an injury designation. Mostert is still worth starting in most leagues, as he was productive with Achane in the lineup earlier this season and is facing a Washington defense that ranks 20th in fantasy points allowed to RBs and 23rd in YPC allowed (4.3) to the position.

Cook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Cook popped up on the injury report after being limited in practice Friday, but coach Robert Saleh said earlier in the day that Cook "should be fine" for Sunday's game. Fellow running backs Breece Hall (hamstring) and Israel Abanikanda (illness) also are questionable, but Hall was a full participant in practice Friday, suggesting that he'll likely suit up and lead New York's backfield as usual. Cook hasn't had more than four touches in a game since Week 5.

Hall (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Friday but remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The Jets' top three running backs are all questionable, as Hall's joined by Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Israel Abanikanda (illness) on the injury report. Of the three, Hall is the only one that mustered a full practice Friday, suggesting he's in good position to handle his usual heavy workload as the Jets' lead back, barring a setback. Confirmation on Hall's availability will come approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's game kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Armah (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Armah will return to action in Week 13 after he sat out of Washington's last two games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 10 at Seattle. He figures to see around 5-to-10 offensive snaps as a lead blocker Sunday.

McKinnon (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Packers.

McKinnon, who didn't play Week 12 against the Raiders, logged limited practices both Thursday and Friday, which gives him a chance to be available for Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET contest. If the running back is able to suit up at Green Bay, he'd be in line to reclaim a portion of the Chiefs' change-of-pace snaps behind top option Isiah Pacheco. Considering McKinnon has recorded just 13 carries and 19 catches to go along with three receiving TDs through 10 games this season, he's only a fantasy option in deeper PPR formats.

Dillon (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

With Aaron Jones (knee) ruled out for a second straight contest, Dillon again will get a chance to pace the Packers backfield. It should be noted that Dillon has dealt with a groin injury in back-to-back weeks, but he looked spry at times during the team's win at Detroit on Thanksgiving, turning 17 touches into 81 yards from scrimmage. A fruitful outing may be in store for him Sunday against a Kansas City defense that has allowed the second-most yards per carry (4.8) to opposing running backs this season.

Coach Matt LaFleur has ruled out Jones (knee) ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones thus will miss his second game in a row due to the MCL sprain that he sustained Week 11 against the Chargers. He hasn't practiced since then, but he'll be afforded an extra day of rest before the Packers reconvene for on-field work next Thursday ahead of a road matchup with the Giants on Monday Night Football on Dec. 11. In the meantime, AJ Dillon will continue to man Green Bay's backfield, with Patrick Taylor serving as his primary reserve.

Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Charbonnet's bruised knee "puffed up pretty crazy" Thursday night, Brandon Gustafson of SeattleSports.com reports.

Charbonnet played 76 percent of Seattle's snaps on offense through the third quarter of Thursday's 41-35 loss to Dallas, but he then missed the end of the game after exiting due to a knee bruise midway through the final frame. He'll have 10 days to recover before Seattle's next game, Week 14 against San Francisco, and it sounds like he's got better odds to play than fellow running back Kenneth Walker, whose oblique injury was deemed "complex" by Carroll. Walker missed the past two games and hasn't been able to practice since suffering the injury.
