  • Jacob Saylors RB | DET

    Lions' Jacob Saylors: Unavailable for Week 10

    Saylors (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    A back issue prevented Saylors from participating in the final two practices of Week 10 prep, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's road contest. Craig Reynolds (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable, and if he were to join Saylors on the Lions' inactive list, then Sione Vaki would serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Saylors' next opportunity to suit up is Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Ready for Week 10

    Chubb (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.

    After sitting out Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, Chubb progressed to limited Thursday and full to wrap up Week 10 prep, paving the way for him to continue to be a part of the Texans backfield this weekend. He's ceded more snaps to fellow RB Woody Marks in three games since Houston's Week 6 bye, but Chubb still has earned 36 touches (for 114 total yards and no TDs) to Marks' 38 touches (for 173 total yards and one TD) during that stretch. Expect the near-even split of reps between them to be maintained Sunday.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Aiming to be ready by Sunday

    Jones (shoulder/toe) said Friday that he thinks he'll "be in a good spot" by Sunday to play against Baltimore, after the Vikings listed him as questionable on their final injury report, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Following last week's early exit, Jones managed limited practices Thursday and Friday. He told reporters after Friday's practice that he's feeling good, though he did seem to hint at his Sunday availability depending on continued progress over the next two days. Should Jones end up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott would take on larger roles in Minnesota's backfield.

  • Buccaneers' Rachaad White: In line for another start

    White is slated to lead the Buccaneers backfield Sunday against the Patriots with Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) ruled out for the Week 10 contest, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Irving hasn't practiced since suffering a shoulder subluxation and a left foot sprain Week 4 and will miss his fifth straight game Sunday. White has been the biggest beneficiary of Irving's absence, totaling 262 yards from scrimmage and three rushing scores on 67 touches over the last four games. Reserve back Sean Tucker (26 touches for 72 total yards and two rushing touchdowns) has also taken on an increased role while Irving has been out. The going may be tough for White in Week 10 versus a New England defense that has held opposing running backs to an NFL-low 3.1 yards per carry this season.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: 'Hot hand' may determine workload

    Coach Ben Johnson said Friday that he believes "in a guy having the hot hand," which may sway the RB pecking order between Monangai (ankle) and typical No. 1 option D'Andre Swift (groin/personal) on Sunday against the Giants, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. "One guy, if he's feeling it and giving us a spark, we might lean on that a little bit longer," Johnson added.

    With Swift absent this past Sunday at Cincinnati, Monangai took full advantage of the opportunity, reeling off 198 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches. That would indicate Monangai has the so-called "hot hand" at the moment, and while both he and Swift followed up limited sessions Wednesday with full listings one day later, Swift didn't practice Friday due to a personal concern and is listed as questionable for Week 10 action. The Bears have a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, meaning Swift's status will become known about 90 minutes prior to that. In any case, Monangai is slated to be a part of Chicago's backfield this weekend, but how large his workload may be remains to be seen.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Questionable after limited practice

    Gordon (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Gordon logged a trio of limited practices during the week. If the backup running back doesn't get the green light to play Sunday, Jaylen Wright would assume change-of-pace duties behind De'Von Achane.

  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Working on side Friday

    Hampton (ankle) is working off to the side at Friday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Hampton won't be listed as a participant in practice, but his ability to work in any capacity is an encouraging step in the right direction as the rookie running back recovers from an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve. Hampton has already spent the requisite four weeks on IR, but coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Hampton isn't expected to return until after the Chargers' Week 12 bye.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Questionable to face Baltimore

    Jones (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Jones suffered an AC joint sprain during the third quarter of Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions. He missed the rest of the game and didn't practice Wednesday, before returning Thursday as a limited participant. Jones appears truly questionable heading into the weekend, with Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott in line for larger roles if Jones ends up on the inactive list before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Remains RB2 with Stevenson out

    Jennings is expected to see added snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't play.

    Jennings played a complementary role alongside TreVeyon Henderson in Stevenson's absence against the Falcons in Week 9, turning 12 touches into 44 yards from scrimmage, including a three-yard touchdown run. Per Reiss, Stevenson remaining out paves the way for Henderson to make his second straight start Sunday, but Jennings is poised to maintain his expanded role, while fellow RB D'Ernest Johnson likely will be elevated from the practice squad once again to provide backfield depth this weekend.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Cleared for return

    Johnson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Johnson is ready to return from a two-game absence but may mostly be limited to special teams. No. 2 running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) avoided an injury designation, while starter D'Andre Swift (groin/personal) is listed as questionable but seems likely to play.
