  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Handles lead duties in Dallas

    Hunt carried the ball 14 times for 58 yards and caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.

    Even with Isiah Pacheco back in the lineup, Hunt handled the bulk of the work in the Kansas City backfield, getting 15 touches to Pacheco's five and out-gaining him 80 yards from scrimmage to 33. Hunt did see his four-game TD streak come to an end, but the 80 combined yards were his second-highest total of the season after last week's 130. The veteran appears to have a firm hold of the No. 1 RB job heading into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Texans.

  • Bengals' Gary Brightwell: Elevated for Thanksgiving Day

    The Bengals elevated Brightwell from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

    With Tahj Brooks (concussion) ruled out for Thursday's game, Brightwell will serve as the Bengals' RB3 behind Chase Brown and Samaje Perine. Brightwell played six snaps on special teams during the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots, when his lone return on a kickoff was returned for 24 yards.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Gets back into end zone in loss

    Montgomery carried the ball eight times for 32 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 16 yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers. He also threw an incomplete pass.

    The second-quarter TD was Montgomery's sixth of the season, but his first since Week 9, as Jahmyr Gibbs had produced Detroit's last four rushing touchdowns. Montgomery has been more clearly the No. 2 option in the Lions' backfield this season as opposed to a 1B behind Gibbs, but he's still delivered 543 rushing yards in 12 games along with a 20-151-0 line on 24 targets. Montgomery will look to get into the end zone in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 2 and 3 in a Week 14 matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Jerome Ford RB | CLE

    Browns' Jerome Ford: Downgrades to DNP

    Ford (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Ford was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but an apparent setback with his hamstring injury rendered him unable to participate Thursday. Ford therefore appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the 49ers, and Friday's practice participation or lack thereof will provide further clarity of his chances of suiting up.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Can't break out against Pack

    Gibbs carried the ball 20 times for 68 yards and caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.

    After three straight games with more than 140 scrimmage yards, Gibbs' Thanksgiving output was something of a disappointment. He also watched his backfield partner, David Montgomery, punch in a three-yard score in the second quarter, after Gibbs had delivered Detroit's last four rushing scores. Gibbs did pass the 1,000-yard milestone on the ground for the second straight season, and through 12 games he's amassed 1,019 rushing yards and 397 receiving yards with 13 total TDs. He stands a good chance of producing another ceiling game in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Limited again Thursday

    Walker (glute) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    This follows Walker's capped practice Wednesday, giving him just one more chance to prove the health of his glute Friday before the Seahawks potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Vikings. Over the last four games, Walker has recorded 61 touches for 343 yards from scrimmage and one TD, while fellow RB Zach Charbonnet hasn't been too far behind him with 42 touches for 211 total yards and two TDs.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Racks up 18 touches in return

    Jacobs rushed 17 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    Jacobs reclaimed the lead role in the backfield in his return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. Emanuel Wilson had four carries and Chris Brooks drew two targets, as Green Bay's backup running backs saw sparse usage. Jacobs has failed to score a touchdown in each of his last two appearances after being kept out of the end zone only once in the preceding 17 regular-season games. He'll look to end this brief scoring drought in Week 14 against the Bears.

  • Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Just four totes in Week 13

    Wilson carried the ball four times for 14 yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    With Josh Jacobs back in action after a one-game absence, Wilson returned to a depth role. The third-year back proved himself in Week 12 with 125 scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs as the starter, but as long as Jacobs is healthy, Wilson's workload will be unpredictable at best -- over the four games prior to his spot start, he saw anywhere from two to 14 touches.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Listed as full Thursday

    Rodriguez (illness) was listed as full on Thursday's practice report.

    Rodriguez was held out of drills Wednesday due to an illness, but his return to all listed activity one day later sets him up to be among the Commanders' available running backs Sunday against the Broncos. In the three games prior to the team's Week 12 bye, he recorded double-digit carries two times en route to 33 rushes for 160 yards and two touchdowns and one catch (on one target) for six yards during that span.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Placed on IR

    The Ravens placed Hill (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.

    Hill will be forced to miss at least Baltimore's next four games due to a neck injury he appears to have sustained during practice. He wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, but then appeared as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday. Beginning Thursday versus the Bengals, and until at least Dec. 27 versus the Packers in Week 17, both Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will be in position to handle increased complementary roles behind Derrick Henry.
