Raiders' Zamir White: Inactive for Week 13
White (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
White appeared to fall under the weather Friday, and the illness is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to miss Sunday's AFC West tilt. Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube will provide backfield depth for the Raiders behind rookie Ashton Jeanty in White's absence.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Departs Week 13 with injury
Sampson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against San Francisco due to a calf injury.
Sampson's injury was announced by Cleveland in the third quarter. Prior to exiting, he rushed four times for 23 yards. If Sampson is unable to return, Jerome Ford could see more offensive snaps behind lead back Quinshon Judkins, while Malachi Corley could serve as the team's lead kick returner.

Seahawks' Cam Akers: Healthy scratch Sunday
Akers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
The running back signed with the team Wednesday after being cut from Minnesota's practice squad. With George Holani on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, Seattle appeared to have a spot available behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, but it will not go to Akers on Sunday. The former Viking has just five carries for 19 yards this season.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Back in Sunday's contest
Williams (ankle) returned to Sunday's game in Carolina, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Williams missed the second-to-last offensive play for the Rams in the first half to have his right ankle examined and was considered questionable to return after halftime, but he was back on the field for the team's first snap on offense of the second half. He'll look to build upon the seven carries for 39 yards that he had prior to his exit.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Hurts ankle in Week 13
Williams exited Sunday's game at Carolina due to a right ankle injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
The Rams' medical staff examined Williams' right leg after his five-yard carry late in the first half before escorting him to the locker room. After halftime, the team deemed him questionable to return. Blake Corum is on hand to pace Los Angeles' backfield for as long as Williams is off the field.

Israel Abanikanda: Signs with Dallas
The Cowboys signed Abanikanda to the practice squad Sunday.
Abanikanda was cut from the Packers' practice squad Sept. 8 and was a free agent throughout the 2025 season before Sunday's signing. The signing likely is due to Phil Mafah (shoulder) and Miles Sanders (knee) being on injured reserve, and fifth-round rookie Jaydon Blue's (coach's decision) consistent role as a healthy scratch.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Departs Sunday's game
Williams went to the locker room Sunday at Carolina with an apparent leg injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Williams removed himself from the game with 2:34 remaining in the first half following a five-yard run, after which trainers were examining his right leg. The exact nature of the issue isn't known, but he had seven carries for 39 yards and didn't haul in either of his two targets before his exit. Blake Corum will take over the Rams backfield for as long as Williams is sidelined.

James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
The rookie fifth-rounder was inactive with a finger injury in Week 1. Since then, he's been a healthy scratch. James can't seem to crack a depth chart led by Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo.
