Walker (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

He played through the same injury last week and handled a season-high 67 percent snap share, continuing a recent trend of Walker taking the lion's share of Seattle's backfield work. Zach Charbonnet took only six carries last week, but he remains a threat for both goal-line carries and passing-down snaps, which often forces Walker to earn his fantasy points the hard way.

Holani (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Holani didn't practice this week and is a candidate for injured reserve after he was hurt against Tennessee last Sunday. Rashid Shaheed and Cody White will likely continue to handle kickoff-return duties for the Seahawks.

Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Demercado has yet to practice since sustaining a high-ankle sprain Week 11, but he was spotted working on the side with the rehab group at Friday's session, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Demercado's next chance for game action is Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Rams, but at least for Week 13, Bam Knight (knee, questionable) and Michael Carter are the likely candidates for reps in the Cardinals backfield with Trey Benson (knee, IR) also ruled out.

Irving (shoulder/foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, with the expectation that he'll return to action after logging full practices all week, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Irving won't necessarily return to his pre-injury role but should at least be back in the mix as a significant part of Tampa Bay's offense. His impressive fantasy production late last season and into this September makes him a viable lineup option in nearly any format despite workload uncertainty in the first game back from a two-month absence. Sean Tucker supplanted Rachaad White as the lead back during that time, potentially setting up a three-headed backfield now that Irving is expected to be active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Knight (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

With Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) ruled out for Week 13, Knight now is the only question mark among the Cardinals' running backs that are dealing with injuries. Knight's knee issue limited him in all three practices this week, and his status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's able to suit up this weekend, he and Michael Carter likely will split the backfield reps in some fashion, but Jermar Jefferson also may be on hand for his first touch of the season.

Neal (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami, setting him up as the likely starter in place of Alvin Kamara (knee).

Kamara didn't practice at all this week and could miss time beyond Sunday, although Saints head coach Kellen Moore said the 30-year-old won't be placed on injured reserve, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Neal played 86 percent of snaps after Kamara's early departure last week, but that was with no other running backs active for a loss to the Falcons. This week, the Saints likely will have three RBs available, with Neal joined by Audric Estime, Evan Hull and/or Ian Wheeler (all currently on the practice squad). Neal figures to get most of the snaps and touches, but it won't necessarily be an every-down role again, and Taysom Hill also will get some of the carries.

Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, WWL's Jeff Novak reports.

Kamara predictably didn't practice this week after suffering an MCL sprain during last week's loss to Atlanta. Rookie Devin Neal (ankle) is expected to fill in as the lead back this Sunday, and perhaps beyond, though Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Friday that Kamara won't be placed on injured reserve, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's game against the Bears.

Dillon has been passed on the depth chart by both Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley behind Saquon Barkley. In six appearances this season, Dillon has rushed 12 times for 60 scoreless yards, adding two catches for 18 yards on two targets.

Ford (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Ford has missed significant practice reps this week, putting his status in jeopardy for Week 13. If Ford is unable to play, rookie Dylan Sampson would likely be locked into pass-down work behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins on early downs. Sampson appeared to pass Ford on the depth chart in Week 12 against Las Vegas, turning nine touches into 82 yards and one touchdown on 19 offensive snaps.

Reynolds is slated to sign with the Patriots' practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Reynolds was cut by the Lions on Wednesday after he'd been a healthy scratch in recent weeks. A running back by trade, Reynolds has mostly played on special teams during his seven-year NFL career.
