Corey Kiner RB | ARI
Corey Kiner: Lands back on practice squad
The Vikings reverted Kiner to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kiner was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but he ended up being inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore. His elevation was insurance in case Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) was unable to play, but Jones ended up starting and logging a larger offensive snap count than usual. With that in mind, it doesn't seem likely Kiner will get elevated again for Week 11 against Chicago unless another injury hits the Vikings' backfield before then.

Trayveon Williams RB | CLE
Trayveon Williams: Reverts to practice squad
Williams reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
All 12 of Williams' snaps during Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers came on special teams, and he turned two kickoff returns into 51 yards. The 2019 sixth-rounder is eligible to be elevated from the Chargers' practice squad twice more this season, and his next promotion to the active roster could take place Week 11 against the Jaguars as Omarion Hampton (ankle), Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Najee Harris (Achilles) are all on injured reserve.

Jaret Patterson RB | LAC
Chargers' Jaret Patterson: Returns to practice squad
Patterson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Patterson was elevated to the active roster for the third week in a row, officially logging a one-yard carry while playing four snaps on offense, but he did have another carry negated by a holding call. The running back operated as the No. 2 option behind Kimani Vidal, but Vidal far outpaced him with 68 offensive snaps. Patterson now has exhausted all of his elevations, and the team will have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play again this season.

Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ
Jets' Khalil Herbert: Estimated as limited participant
Herbert (groin) was listed as a limited participant in the Jets' practice estimate Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Herbert appears closer to making his return after sitting out the Week 10 win over the Browns with a groin injury. If the 27-year-old ends up being able to suit up for Thursday's matchup versus the Patriots, he will likely resume his role as the team's No. 3 running back and kick returner.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Listed as limited to begin week
Jennings (knee) is listed as limited on Monday's injury report.
Jennings left in the first half of Sunday's eventual win in Tampa Bay due to a knee injury and was ruled out after halftime. He told Karen Guregian of MassLive.com on Monday that he'll "definitely be okay. It's just a little bruise." Fellow RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and TreVeyon Henderson (knee) also were limited to begin Week 11 prep, so the situation bears watching to get a sense of who among the trio will be available Thursday versus the Jets.

AJ Dillon RB | PHI
Eagles' AJ Dillon: Won't play Week 10
Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Packers.
Dillon will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game while the Eagles go with three active running backs in Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley. Dillon's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Lions on Sunday.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Limited on Monday's injury report
Henderson was listed as limited on Monday's injury report due to a knee injury.
Henderson appeared to get his knee twisted up during Sunday's 28-23 win at Tampa Bay, but he continued onward and authored the first signature performance of his career with 14 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns to go with one catch (on one target) for three yards. He was getting a second straight spot start in place of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), but the latter also was listed as limited Monday -- in addition to Terrell Jennings (knee) -- meaning all three players at the position on New England's active roster are banged up ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Limited listing Monday
Stevenson (toe) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.
Fellow RBs TreVeyon Henderson (knee) and Terrell Jennings (knee) also were listed as limited, meaning all three players at the position on the Patriots' active roster are banged up at the moment. Stevenson has missed the last two games due to a toe injury, but after not practicing in any capacity last week, his listed activity level Monday is a step in the right direction as New England prepares to host the Jets on Thursday.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Not expected to play Week 11
Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that he doesn't expect Irving (shoulder/foot) to play Week 11 against the Bills, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Bowles indicated that Irving's shoulder is what's holding him back right now, saying Monday that Irving has to be able to take a hit to the shoulder before he returns to game action. It sounds as if the Bucs again will lean on the tandem of Rachaad White and Sean Tucker next Sunday versus Buffalo's subpar run defense. Fantasy players need to plan for yet another Irving absence, and it would mark his sixth consecutive missed contest if he's ultimately unable to play against the Bills.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Status remains uncertain
Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Irving's shoulder injury is what's keeping him sidelined, and he has to be able to take a hit before being cleared to return to game action, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
It sounds like Irving may be past the foot issue, though the team has continued to list both injuries on weekly practice reports. Bowles added that it's too soon to know if Irving will be able to play Week 11 against the Bills. Irving has missed the past five contests after being injured Week 4. As long as Irving remains sidelined, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will continue to handle backfield duties for Tampa Bay.
