Pierce (ankle) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pierce didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and appears to be trending toward missing Sunday's contest. If that ends up being confirmed by the Texans later Friday, Devin Singletary would be in line to step into an expanded role this weekend, with Mike Boone and Dare Ogunbowale in reserve.

Mostert (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Mostert was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after Wednesday's DNP, but he avoided an injury designation, sparing his fantasy managers the headache of having to check on the running back's status before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff from Frankfurt, Germany. Miami will be facing a Kansas City defense that will be missing key linebacker Nick Bolton (wrist) and possibly Willie Gay (lower back) as well, so Mostert could be in for a busy day if he's able to handle a full workload without being hindered by his ankle.

Harris rushed 16 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of four targets for seven yards in the Steelers' 20-16 win over the Titans on Thursday night.

Harris saw backfield mate Jaylen Warren outgain him by 19 yards on five fewer carries, but the former still put together a solid performance overall. Harris' yardage total was actually his second highest of the campaign, and he got the night off to a noteworthy start by recording a 10-yard touchdown run to cap off a game-opening 10-play, 78-yard drive for Pittsburgh. While Warren's career-best effort Thursday was impressive, it's likely Harris retains at least a slight advantage in workload during a Week 10 home matchup against the Packers on Nov. 12.

Warren rushed 11 times for 88 yards and secured all three targets for 25 yards in the Steelers' 20-16 win over the Titans on Thursday night.

Warren broke out for a career-best rushing yardage tally, notably outgaining backfield mate Najee Harris by 19 yards on five fewer carries. Despite his stellar effort Thursday, which also saw Warren come a half-yard short of the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, it's likely Harris remains the lead back in terms of workload during a favorable Week 10 home matchup against the Packers on Nov. 12.

Henry rushed 17 times for 75 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 27 yards in the Titans' 20-16 loss to the Steelers on Thursday night.

Henry turned in what can be labeled as a prototypical 2023 effort for him, as he made some solid contributions in the passing game alongside a workman-like effort on the ground. The bruising back scored his fourth touchdown of the campaign just past the halfway point of the second quarter as well on a two-yard run, making it an above-average fantasy night. Henry will look to extend his streak of at least 75 rushing yards to four games when the Titans visit the Buccaneers in a Week 10 road matchup on Nov. 12.

Edwards (toe) practiced fully Thursday.

Edwards missed Wednesday's practice, but the running back's return to a full session one day later paves the way for him to continue to lead the Ravens backfield Sunday against the Seahawks. In his team's Week 8 victory over the Cardinals, Edwards logged 34 of a possible 65 snaps on offense while recording a season-high 19 carries for 80 yards and three TDs to go with two catches for 14 yards. Barring any in-game setbacks, Edwards should continue to earn enough volume this weekend to merit consideration in Week 9 fantasy lineups.

Jones (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

For a second straight session to begin the week, Jones went through drills while wearing a red non-contact red jersey, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Jones' lingering left hamstring injury is to blame, which so far his capped him to 29 carries, 10 catches, 244 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in four appearances this season. Friday's practice report will indicate whether or not he heads into the weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

McKinnon (groin) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

McKinnon didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a limited session Thursday has him trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Frankfurt. Fellow RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) has already been ruled out for Week 9 action, so the Chiefs could elect to elevate La'Mical Perine and/or Deneric Prince from their practice squad to provide the team with added backfield depth this weekend.

Edwards-Helaire has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany due to an illness, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Edwards-Helaire was ruled out for the Chiefs' Week 9 game after he was the only player on the Chiefs' 53-man active roster who failed to practice in some capacity Thursday. The severity of Edwards-Helaire's illness isn't known, but with the Chiefs on bye Week 10, he'll have extra time to recover before Kansas City returns to action Nov. 20 versus Philadelphia. With Edwards-Helaire sidelined and with Jerick McKinnon tending to a groin injury that rendered him a limited participant in Thursday's practice, the Chiefs could look to elevate another running back from the practice squad to add depth behind top option Isiah Pacheco for Sunday's game.

Ford (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Ford is still working his way back from a right high-ankle sprain sustained in the Browns' Week 7 win over the Colts, but the injury didn't stop him from being available for this past Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, albeit in a limited capacity. After following up his nine-carry, one-catch performance in Seattle with two limited practices to begin Week 9 prep, Ford appears on track to play Sunday against the Cardinals, but it's not yet clear if he'll head into the game with an injury designation. If Ford can put in a full practice Friday, it would improve his odds of not only entering the weekend without a designation, but also reclaiming the lead role out of the Cleveland backfield from Kareem Hunt.
