Elliott (thigh) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Elliott logged three consecutive limited sessions in practice this week and is officially listed as questionable, but the expectation is that he will suit up versus Los Angeles. He hasn't scored since Week 7, and while continuing to work behind top backfield option Rhamondre Stevenson, Elliott has handled double-digit carries in just three of 11 appearances on the season. He should be officially announced as active roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cook (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Cook and top back Breece Hall (hamstring) are both listed as questionable for the Week 13 matchup, but the Jets expect to have both players available. In the five games since New York's bye week, Cook has surpassed two carries on only one occasion, though he did match his season-best mark with three targets in the Jets' Week 12 loss to the Dolphins. Cook's availability for Sunday's game will be confirmed when the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Hall (hamstring) is expected to take the field Sunday versus Atlanta, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hall is officially listed as questionable for Week 13, despite coming off a full practice session Friday. He appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest, as does veteran backup Dalvin Cook (shoulder), who is also listed as questionable. Official word on the statuses of Hall and Cook will arrive when the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Prentice was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Prentice is joining New Orleans' active roster for the second consecutive week. The 26-year-old fullback has appeared in seven games for the Saints this season, recording 10 total yards on two touches. He's also been a key special-teamer for New Orleans, playing 70 snaps on special teams and logging two total tackles.

The Packers elevated Robinson to their active roster Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Green Bay will be without both Aaron Jones (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) in Week 13, so Robinson's elevation will ensure depth at running back behind AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor. Robinson's most recent action came in 2022 with the Jets and Jaguars, when he logged 476 total yards on 121 touches.

Etienne (ribs) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bengals, but head coach Doug Pederson is expecting the running back to play, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

The injury designation leaves open the possibility Etienne could miss the primetime matchup, but Pederson seemed relatively confident following Saturday's practice the third-year back would be available. Expect the backup, D'Ernest Johnson, to still be a factor in the game plan, particularly if the Jaguars jump out to a commanding lead early on. Official confirmation regarding Etienne's status will arrive upon the release of Jacksonville's inactives ahead of the team's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff Monday.

The Chiefs elevated Prince to their active roster Saturday.

The rookie running back's elevation likely comes in response to Jerick McKinnon (groin) being ruled out for Sunday night's affair. Prince has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he's been with Kansas City's practice squad since the end of August. He'll more than likely back up Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the Chiefs' Week 13 outing.

McKinnon (groin) was downgraded to out Saturday and will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Sunday's absence will make it two straight for McKinnon, who at least managed to practice in limited fashion this week. A fantasy darling for many last season, the multi-talented back has rarely been used in 2023, tallying just 13 carries for 30 yards and a paltry 19 receptions for 155 yards in 10 contests to date. Expect Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Deneric Prince to spell starter Isiah Pacheco on occasion.

The Colts elevated Goodson to their active roster Saturday.

Goodson is set to make his season debut on the Colts' active roster. With Jonathan Taylor (thumb) sidelined, he will provide depth in the backfield behind Zack Moss and Trey Sermon. The Iowa product also figures to be a candidate for special teams snaps.

Brooks (ankle) will not return from injured reserve Sunday against the Commanders, as the Dolphins have downgraded him to out, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Brooks was designated to return from IR earlier in the week, which opened a 21-day window for him to be activated. With the Dolphins opting to err on the side of caution, his next opportunity to be activated will come in the Week 14 tilt against the Titans. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since Week 6 due to an ankle injury.
