  • Sione Vaki RB | DET

    Lions' Sione Vaki: Listed as questionable

    Vaki (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Vaki has played just one offensive snap all season, while he's logged 62 on special teams across four games. Vaki carries minimal fantasy value while Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are healthy.

  • Kalel Mullings RB | TEN

    Titans' Kalel Mullings: Questionable for Week 12

    Mullings (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Mullings remains on injured reserve after his practice window was opened 11 days ago, but he at least has a chance to be activated ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle. The sixth-round rookie has appeared in two games this season, playing just 11 snaps on special teams.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Questionable after limited practice

    Nwangwu (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Nwangwu didn't practice Thursday but returned to limited participation Friday. If the Jets' usual kickoff returner isn't available Sunday, those duties would likely go to Isaiah Williams.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Cleared after full practice Friday

    Warren (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Warren steadily raised his practice participation throughout the week, as he upgraded to full participation Friday after being limited Thursday and being a non-participant Wednesday. He's expected to lead Pittsburgh's backfield as usual against the Bears, though Kenneth Gainwell is pushing for a larger role after scoring two receiving touchdowns in Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Bengals, which Warren exited early due to his ankle injury.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Expected to play

    Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Walker (glute) is expected to play Sunday at Tennessee despite being added to the injury report and listed as questionable, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    An end-of-week addition to the injury report isn't what Walker's fantasy managers want to see, especially ahead of a favorable matchup with arguably the worst team in the NFL. Macdonald downplayed any concerns after Friday's practice, saying Walker's limited practice workload Friday was more about maintenance than anything that might impact the running back's Week 12 availability, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Still, fantasy mangers will want to make sure Walker isn't on the inactive list 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Cleared for Week 12, as is Etienne

    Tuten (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Tuten and Travis Etienne (shoulder) avoided Week 12 injury designations after three limited practices apiece. Both running backs were banged up coming out of Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers, though Etienne managed to finish that game while Tuten exited in the second half. Tuten had a career-high 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers, while Etienne posted 19 carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns in that game. Both running backs could play significant roles against the Cardinals.

  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Cleared after limited practices

    Etienne (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) have both been cleared after logging three limited practice sessions. Etienne has worked ahead of Tuten for most of the season, but they split the backfield workload nearly evenly in Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers prior to Tuten's exit from the game in the second half. Jacksonville has found success with a run-heavy approach in recent weeks, and the Jaguars are unlikely to deviate from that game plan against a Cardinals team that has allowed five total touchdowns to running backs over the past two weeks.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Cleared to play, unlike Benson

    Knight (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    An upgrade to full practice participation Friday makes Knight the clear favorite to lead a backfield that won't have Trey Benson (knee) or Emari Demercado (ankle). That said, Arizona's backfield roles have been highly variable and unpredictable, so it won't be too surprising if Michael Carter and/or Jermar Jefferson also get a large chunk of the workload.

  • Trey Benson RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey Benson: Won't return this week

    Benson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Benson returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant and then remained limited during Thursday's session. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Benson has looked good in practice, but it'll apparently be at least one more week until the RB is ready to return. With Emari Demecardo (ankle) out this week, the Cardinals signed Jermar Jefferson from their practice squad to provide depth behind Bam Knight and Michael Carter.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Added to injury report

    Walker (glute) was added to the injury report Friday and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Walker wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday. It's possible something happened during practice Thursday or Friday, but for now we just know that Walker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
