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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Johnson rushed twice for three yards during Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

Johnson was on the field for just four offensive snaps Sunday, and he didn't generate much production during the blowout loss. The rookie third-round pick has totaled just nine offensive snaps over the last four weeks, and he's been a non-factor in fantasy over the first half of the season, rushing 17 times for 43 yards while securing one of two targets for nine yards over six appearances.

Gainwell secured two of three targets for four yards during Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

Gainwell led the Steelers' running backs by playing 52 percent of the team's offensive snaps during Sunday's blowout loss, but he saw minimal touches against the Chargers. The primetime matchup marked the first time that Gainwell was held without any carries this season, and he failed to generate much production as a pass catcher. While the Steelers offense generally struggled as a whole Week 10, Gainwell's fantasy upside remains limited for the second half of the regular season.

The Titans have designated Mullings (ankle) to return to practice this week, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Mullings has had his three-week practice window opened after he was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury following Week 3's game against the Colts. The 2025 sixth-round pick also missed Week 2 with the same ankle injury and has appeared in only two games so far, and exclusively on special teams.
