Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after Monday's 24-12 win over the Rams that Dillon cleared the concussion protocol, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Prior to his departure in the second half of the Week 15 contest, Dillon scored two rushing touchdowns and hauled in all three targets for 35 yards, but he otherwise wasn't very efficient on the ground (11 carries for 36 yards). Meanwhile, Aaron Jones was again productive with 21 touches for 126 yards from scrimmage and a receiving touchdown. With Dillon's health not an issue moving forward, the Packers will have their usual backfield duo available for Sunday's visit to Miami.

Chubb won't practice Tuesday due to a foot injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Chubb hit the 20-carry threshold for the fifth time in 14 appearances this season Sunday against the Ravens, finishing with 99 yards on 21 rushes. His DNP on Tuesday may be maintenance-related as a result, but his status is still somewhat up in the air for Saturday's game against the Saints.

The Colts signed Wilkins to the active roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Wilkins was elevated for Weeks 9 and 10, totaling six rushing attempts for 31 yards while securing four of five targets for 15 yards across 21 offensive snaps. However, he'll get an official spot on the active roster with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on IR for the remainder of the campaign. Wilkins figures to serve as a depth option behind Zack Moss and Deon Jackson.

The Bears designated Herbert (hip) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.

Coach Matt Eberflus told Larry Mayer of the team's official site Monday that Herbert was "cleared, ready to go... He looks great." Chicago will see how Herbert looks during Week 16 prep before making a decision on whether to activate him ahead of Saturday's contest against the Bills, which must be done by 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday.

Williams rushed twice for seven yards in Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.

Williams took the field for only four snaps in another forgettable performance for the rookie, while Cam Akers tallied 100 total yards of offense between his 15 touches. Any optimism for a Williams breakout during the latter half of the season has been dashed with Akers reclaiming his role as the lead back, and a Week 16 matchup against an imposing Denver defense will make it a tall task to trust Williams in fantasy lineups.

The Colts are expected to place Taylor (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Taylor's placement on IR will officially rule him out for the remainder of the 2022 campaign, after he suffered a right high-ankle sprain during Saturday's narrow loss to the Vikings. In a corresponding move, Indianapolis is promoting Jordan Wilkins to the 53-man roster, joining a backfield that includes Zack Moss and Deon Jackson. Across 11 appearances this season, Taylor carried the ball 192 times for 861 yards and four scores (4.5 YPC), and he secured 28 of 40 targets for another 143 receiving yards.

Taylor had four carries for 15 yards in Monday's 24-12 victory over the Rams.

Taylor was signed to the active roster just hours before Monday's contest, and he opened the night as the third running back behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. However, Dillon left the game with a head injury and the Packers did not want to lean solely on Jones, so Taylor picked up four carries on the final drive of the evening. Taylor could operate as the backup in Week 16 if Dillon in unable to go, but in that scenario, Jones would likely handle the bulk of the work in the backfield.

White rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

White has yet to log more than five offensive snaps in a single contest this year, continuing to spend his rookie campaign buried behind bell cow Josh Jacobs and pass-down specialist Ameer Abdullah. Since Week 13, White has taken six carries for just 19 yards in three games.

Abdullah caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. He also returned five kickoffs for 111 yards.

Abdullah's offensive role remained limited to passing situations as workhorse Josh Jacobs handled 24 touches for 110 total yards Sunday. Abdullah has seen four targets over the Raiders' last two games ahead of a Week 16 tilt in Pittsburgh.

Cook carried five times for 34 yards and caught two of three targets for five yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-29 win over the Dolphins.

The TD catch was the first of Cook's NFL career, as he continues to have a decent-sized role behind starter Devin Singletary in a high-powered offense. While Cook has seen only nine carries over the past two games, he has now put up at least eight fantasy points in three of the past five contests, not bad production for a backup running back. The real fantasy jackpot could come if the Bills -- currently the top seed in the AFC -- are able to rest some starters for the final game of the season, and inexperienced players like Cook get a heavy Week 18 workload.
