Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Vaughn has now qualified as a healthy scratch for four consecutive games, with undrafted rookie Sean Tucker taking his spot as the barely utilized No. 3 running back in Tampa Bay's ground attack. Vaughn's next opportunity to garner active status comes in a Week 14 road divisional clash against the Falcons.

Henry exited Sunday's game against the Colts with a possible concussion, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Before exiting the contest to be evaluated for a concussion, Henry carried 21 times for 102 yards and two TDs and caught one of his two targets for 18 yards. In Henry's absence, Tyjae Spears is next up for the Titans' backfield work. Next up for Tennessee is a Monday night contest against the Dolphins on Dec. 11.

Demercado won't return to Sunday's game in Pittsburgh due to a neck injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Demercado took a big hit in the middle of the first quarter that resulted in a Kyler Murray incompletion and an unnecessary roughness penalty for Steelers linebacker Elandon Roberts. While Demercado was evaluated for a concussion in addition to the neck issue, he doesn't have a head injury and thus is dealing with only the latter concern. Michael Carter thus will handle and RB reps that don't go to starter James Conner for the rest of this contest.

Mason (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Eagles.

The running back was listed as questionable going into the day. Mason is third on the depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell, and has not carried the ball since Week 6. The second-year pro does have 21 carries for 117 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Penny (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

This is the third straight game in which Penny has been a healthy scratch after he was activated in Week 9 against the Cowboys. It'll be tough for Penny to crack into the backfield rotation unless there's an injury to D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell or Boston Scott.

The Commanders have ruled out Robinson for the second half of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury.

Robinson carried seven times for 53 yards and went without a target through the first two quarters of the game before departing. The extent of Robinson's injury isn't known, but the second-year running back will at least have the benefit of a well-timed Week 14 bye to recover from the health concern before the Commanders return to action Dec. 17 against the Rams. Washington will get by with Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez as its running backs for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Stevenson, who injured his right ankle during Sunday's game against the Chargers, won't return to the contest.

Before being forced out of the game, Stevenson had carried nine times for 39 yards and caught one pass for zero yards. In his absence, Ezekiel Elliott will lead the Patriots' Week 13 rushing attack. Stevenson will now look to recover from his ankle issue in time to be available for Thursday night's game against the Steelers.

Demercado is being evaluated for a concussion and a neck injury during Sunday' game against the Steelers.

Priot to his exit from the contest, Demercado hadn't recorded a carry. In his absence, Michael Carter is on hand to provide the Cardinals with RB depth behind James Conner.

Stevenson injured his right ankle during Sunday's game against the Chargers and is questionable to return, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

On the Patriots' second possession of the contest, Stevenson lost a fumble on a carry and remained on the turf for a spell. He then was assisted to the locker room, skipping the sideline medical tent entirely. With JaMycal Hasty a healthy scratch Sunday, Ezekiel Elliott and Ty Montgomery are the Patriots' remaining available running backs.

Boone (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos.

Boone will take a seat again as Houston rolls with Dare Ogunbowale as its No. 3 option at running back behind Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce. His next chance to suit up will be Week 14 against the Jets.
