Devine Ozigbo RB | DET
Broncos' Devine Ozigbo: Signed off practice squad
The Broncos signed Ozigbo from their practice squad Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
This move comes as no surprise since Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed Friday that Ozigbo would join the team for the Week 12 contest against Carolina. The Broncos are suddenly thin at running back after Melvin Gordon was waived Monday and Chase Edmonds (ankle) was placed on IR on Tuesday, though Ozigbo may not see much work behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. This is the third week this season that Ozigbo will be active for Denver, but so far he's logged only two offensive snaps and converted one carry into two yards.

Patrick Taylor RB | SF
Packers' Patrick Taylor: Elevated from practice squad
Taylor has been elevated by Green Bay from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road contest against Philadelphia.
This will be the ninth week this season during which Taylor has been active for the Packers, as he's been signed and waived from the active roster twice but has rejoined the practice squad each time. Taylor hasn't been able to see the field much behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, as he's logged only one offensive snap thus far. Meanwhile, the third-year back has racked up 78 special-teams snaps, and that's likely the primary role he'll play again Week 12.

Joshua Kelley RB | TEN
Chargers' Joshua Kelley: Returns to active roster
The Chargers activated Kelley (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.
Kelley has missed the requisite four games on IR as a result of an MCL sprain, but his first game action since Week 6 was forecast Wednesday when the team designated him for return. With three practices likely under his belt this week, he at least will be an option for L.A.'s backfield behind starter Austin Ekeler, along with Isaiah Spiller and Sony Michel. In six appearances this season, Kelley has averaged 4.5 YPC on his 23 rushes and hauled in seven of 10 targets for 56 yards.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Out for Monday
Warren (hamstring) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Colts, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Warren didn't practice all week, so it's hardly surprising to see the rookie unavailable. Najee Harris easily put together his best game of the season in Week 11 and will likely be tasked with the majority share of the backfield in Warren's absence.

Patrick Taylor RB | SF
Patrick Taylor: Joins Packers' practice squad
The Packers signed Taylor to their practice squad Friday.
Taylor has bounced on and off the Packers' active roster throughout the season. He was most recently waived Wednesday, though it didn't take long for him to rejoin the team. He has played in eight games on the campaign, with 78 of his 79 snaps coming on special teams.

Hassan Haskins RB | CLE
Titans' Hassan Haskins: Week 12 status still uncertain
Haskins (hip) is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Haskins was a limited participant Thursday after popping up with a hip injury, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. The 22-year-old running back remained limited during Friday's session, leaving his status for the Titans' Week 12 contest up in the air. Haskins has logged just one rushing attempt since carrying the ball a season-high nine times Week 2 against Buffalo, and he's primarily played on special teams over 10 games.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Added to injury report
Jacobs is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after he was a limited participant in Friday's practice with a calf injury, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, but the running back's addition to the injury report Friday makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Ideally, added context with regard to Jacobs' status will arrive before the early wave of kickoffs this weekend, but if he's sidelined or available only in a limited capacity versus Seattle, more snaps at running back will be available for some combination of Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden and Zamir White.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Clear path to lead role Week 12
Wilson is expected to serve as the Dolphins' clear lead back Sunday against the Texans with Raheem Mostert (knee) listed as doubtful for the game, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Since being acquired from the 49ers on Nov. 1, Wilson already appeared to have supplanted Mostert as the Dolphins' No. 1 back. In the two games following his acquisition, Wilson has outsnapped Mostert by a 67-43 margin and has out-touched him 31-21. Miami has Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin to fill Mostert's role, but at least as long as Sunday's game against the 1-8-1 Texans remains competitive, expect the Dolphins to rely more heavily on Wilson than usual. The 27-year-old has quickly proven to be a seamless fit in head coach Mike McDaniel's wide zone offense, averaging 6.5 yards on 26 carries while finding paydirt once as a runner and once as a receiver.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Sits out another practice
Warren (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Though head coach Mike Tomlin said Warren's hamstring injury is "not a significant" one, the running back has now missed two straight practices. If Warren ends up out or limited Monday against the Colts, Benny Snell would be in line to handle complementary work behind Pittsburgh's top running back, Najee Harris.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Packers' Aaron Jones: Ready to roll
Jones (shin/glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Jones has been dealing with a lower leg injury since Week 9 and was also listed with a glute issue this week, but there was never any indication of his availability for Sunday's game being in doubt. He'll continue to lead the Green Bay backfield ahead of AJ Dillon, though both tend to get a good amount of carries and their cumulative fantasy production has decreased this season with the Packers no longer among the NFC heavyweights.
