Robinson rushed 23 times for 142 yards and a touchdown while catching five of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

Robinson posted his second-highest total of the season with 193 scrimmage yards. He was stopped for no gain on first-and-goal from the one-yard line late in the first half and watched Tyler Allgeier power in a game-tying one-yard touchdown on the next play. Bijan produced a rushing touchdown of his own with a five-yard scoring run in the third quarter, but it was only his fifth touchdown run of the season compared to Allgeier's eight. Robinson has produced at least 107 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games and in eight of 12 games overall heading into a Week 14 home game against Seattle's stout run defense.

Irving rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown while bringing in both targets for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Irving notably jumped right back into a true lead-back role in his first game action since Week 4, despite talk during the week he'd see limited snaps. The standout second-year back outpaced both Rachaad White and Sean Tucker by 15 carries, and in addition to his 13-yard scoring run late in the third quarter, he also saw a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter wiped out by a holding penalty. Perhaps just as important as his individual statistics was the fact Irving proved capable of handling a hefty workload immediately, which certainly pleases his fantasy managers heading into a Week 14 home matchup against a vulnerable Saints defense next Sunday.

Sampson (calf) won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Sampson carried four times for 23 yards prior to his departure from the contest. In his absence, Jerome Ford and Raheim Sanders are available to handle backfield touches that don't go to starting RB Quinshon Judkins.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
