  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Estimated as limited participant

    Jacobs (knee) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Jacobs managed to close Week 12 prep out with back-to-back limited practices but nonetheless was made inactive for Green Bay's win over the Vikings on Sunday, paving the way for Emanuel Wilson to impress with 107 rushing yards and two scores. Now, Jacobs will have two more chances to upgrade his activity level ahead of Thursday's road divisional matchup against the Lions. In the event that Jacobs is unavailable to play Thanksgiving Day, Wilson will stand to lead Green Bay's backfield again.

  • Dameon Pierce: Signs with Kansas City

    Pierce signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.

    Pierce also received offers from a laundry list of other teams, including the Chargers, Bears, Broncos, Eagles, Colts and Bengals, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Pierce was cut by the Texans last week and quickly finds a new home in Kansas City, where he'll serve as organizational depth behind Isiah Pacheco (knee), Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith, Elijah Mitchell and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Pierce could quickly find a spot on the 53-man roster for an offense that is desperate for some sort of jolt from the backfield.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Dealing with ankle issue

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Jeanty suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Browns, but it's not believed to be severe, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    When asked if the injury could limit Jeanty in practice this week ahead of next Sunday's game against the Chargers, Carroll said, "I haven't heard that it would yet. It sounds like there's a chance that he'll be okay." Despite the Raiders losing 24-10 to Cleveland, Jeanty still had a strong game, totaling 108 yards and one touchdown on 25 touches. He had a particularly strong game as a pass catcher, securing all eight of his targets for 50 yards and a score. If Jeanty would need to miss time, Raheem Mostert, Zamir White and Dylan Laube would be options out of the backfield.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Three carries in Week 12 win

    Davis carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

    The 26-year-old filled the No. 2 role in the Dallas backfield but was a distant second to Javonte Williams (101 total yards on 22 touches) in workload. Davis has taken seven carries for 44 yards over the last two weeks since moving ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue on the depth chart -- an impressive 6.3 yards per carry -- but his fantasy utility is extremely limited as long as Williams is healthy.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Meager output in victory

    Corum rushed seven times for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.

    While the final score was another blowout win for the Rams, Tampa Bay successfully snuffed out the Rams' rushing attack; Corum and Kyren Williams combined for just 70 yards and no touchdowns on 19 attempts. After seeing double-digit touches for a three-week stretch, Corum's usage has dropped the past two weeks, with just 15 rushing attempts for 34 yards in that span. The Rams travel to take on the Panthers in Week 13, and they have been middle-of-the-road against the run in 2025, surrendering 113.1 yards per game on the ground.

  • Tahj Brooks RB | CIN

    Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Sitting out Week 13

    Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Brooks (concussion) won't play in Thursday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    The rookie running back from Texas Tech sustained a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Thursday. Brooks has appeared in all 11 of the Bengals' games this season, rushing nine times for 28 yards while also contributing on special teams (130 snaps). Samaje Perine (ankle) could be on track to return from a two-game absence for the Thanksgiving Day game, and if available, he would replace Brooks and take back his familiar role as the No. 2 back behind Chase Brown.

  • Ameer Abdullah RB | IND

    Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Plans just four snaps on offense

    Abdullah did not have a carry and failed to bring in a catch on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

    Abdullah played just four snaps on offense as Indy used Jonathan Taylor on 46 of the offense's 51 snaps despite giving him just 16 rushing attempts. Abdullah looks to be ahead of Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens in the backup role, though that order may change if Taylor is injured.

  • Kaleb Johnson RB | PIT

    Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Doesn't see field against Chicago

    Johnson didn't take the field during Sunday's 31-28 loss to Chicago.

    Johnson had been limited to single-digit offensive snaps in each of Pittsburgh's last three games, but he didn't log a play Week 12. Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell continue to serve as the Steelers' top two running backs, and Johnson has been unable to carve out a fantasy-relevant role to begin his rookie year.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Will practice all week

    Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Irving (shoulder/foot) will practice all week and be cleared to suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals if he avoids any setbacks, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Irving has been listed as a limited participant in five consecutive practices, and it sounds like even if he isn't able to upgrade to full this week, he'll be poised to return to action as long as he holds up well. The health of quarterback Baker Mayfield (left shoulder), who is feared to have suffered an AC joint sprain during Tampa Bay's loss to the Rams in Week 12, is another significant variable looming over the Buccaneers offense. While clarity on Irving's status may not arrive until Friday, Mayfield is undergoing an MRI on Monday, the results of which should be disclosed before long.

  • Will Shipley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Will Shipley: No touches vs. Dallas

    Shipley accumulated 106 kickoff-return yards and played seven of the Eagles' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

    The 23-year-old from Clemson played more offensive snaps than Tank Bigsby (three) but still didn't record an offensive touch. Shipley has now gone without a carry in four of the Eagles' last six games, indicating he's operating as the team's No. 3 running back. He's expected to continue contributing as one of Philadelphia's top kick returners in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.
