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.

Armah (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Armah avoided an injury designation after sitting out the previous two games with a hamstring injury, but he'll end up being a healthy scratch Sunday versus Miami.

Abanikanda (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Since the Jets waived Michael Carter on Nov. 14, Abanikanda has moved up to the third spot on the depth chart at running back. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Pittsburgh carried once for 11 yards and added a five-yard reception in a Week 11 loss to the Bills, but he didn't see any snaps in the Jets' Week 12 loss to the Dolphins. Though he's seemingly moved past the illness that resulted in him taking a questionable tag into the weekend, Abanikanda may not be guaranteed much more than garbage-time snaps against the Falcons while both Breece Hall (hamstring) and Dalvin Cook (shoulder) are available.

Cook (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

A late addition to the Week 13 injury report after the shoulder issue resulted in him being a limited participant in Friday's practice, Cook ended up taking a questionable tag into Sunday. Head coach Robert Saleh indicated after Friday's practice that Cook would be fine for Sunday's game, and as anticipated, the running back avoided the inactive list. He should operate as the top backup to lead back Breece Hall, though that role hasn't translated to much in the way of production for Cook of late. Over the Jets' five games since the team's Week 7 bye, Cook has taken on just 14 touches (11 carries, three receptions) while accounting for 73 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns. Because Hall was limited some at practice this week with a hamstring injury of his own, however, it's possible that Cook ends up getting more work than he had in previous weeks.

Elliott (thigh) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Elliott was limited in practice this past week, but he'll give it a go Sunday against the 4-7 Chargers. While the Patriots' fluid QB situation, plus potentially rainy conditions, could lead to the team leaning toward the run as long as Sunday's game flow permits, Elliott (who has notched a total of 95 carries and 20 catches in 11 games to date) figures to continue to work behind top back Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 13, a context that limits his fantasy lineup utility to deeper formats.

Hall (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Hall had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend after the hamstring injury rendered him a limited participant in the Jets' first two Week 13 practice sessions, but much of the concern about his status was erased once he practiced fully Friday. Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also active after being listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but Hall should continue to lead the way in terms of snaps and touches out of the Jets backfield so long as the game remains competitive. While drawing more focus from defenses in recent weeks, Hall has struggled to just 2.6 yards per carry over his last six games, but he's seen ample involvement in the passing game during that stretch (30-261-2 receiving line on 36 targets) to help make up for some of his shortcomings as a rusher.
