Ozigbo reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Ozigbo played primarily on special teams during Thursday's loss to the Colts, logging just one rush for two yards across two offensive snaps. With Javonte Williams (knee) out for the season, Melvin Gordon and Mike Boone are expected to split the majority of the running-back duties, though recently signed Latavius Murray also figures to compete for touches once he gets fully acclimated to his new squad.

Ahmed (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Ahmed landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a back injury and remained limited Friday. The reserve running back has been active for only two games this season and played exclusively on special teams during those contests, so his potential absence shouldn't be concerning for Miami's offense.

Williams should lead the Detroit backfield again this Sunday against the Patriots with teammate D'Andre Swift (shoulder/ankle) ruled out for a second straight game.

While he played only 51 percent of snaps with Swift sidelined for the 48-45 shootout loss to Seattle last week, Williams accounted for 19 of the 23 carries handled by Detroit RBs and scored one TD at the goal line and another from distance. He's unlikely to find himself in such a wild game this week, but that might work in his favor in terms of snap share at least, and it's hard to argue with the results when he's averaging a career-best 4.5 YPC and leads the NFL with six rushing TDs. Williams again figures to get most of the carries, with Craig Reynolds and Justin Jackson working in reserve.

Walker (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Walker made a sudden appearance on the Seahawks' injury report Thursday as limited due to a shoulder issue, which now is making his status for Week 5 murky. Fortunately for fantasy managers, his availability, or lack thereof, will become known about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if he's able to suit up this weekend, though, the rookie second-round pick will be working behind top running back Rashaad Penny, which so far has amounted to 4.3 touches for 18 yards from scrimmage per game and no TDs in four contests.

Hall (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall emerged from the Jets' Week 4 win at Pittsburgh with what coach Robert Saleh called "nicks and bruises," the result of a knee injury. It limited the rookie second-round pick in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but after capping Week 5 prep with a full session, he's clear to play this weekend. Hall has been working in a timeshare with Michael Carter this season, but the rookie has earned a higher snap share the last two games, resulting in 33 touches for 170 yards and one rushing TD (as opposed to 23 touches for 75 total yards and no scores for Carter).

Swift (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Swift hasn't practiced since injuring his shoulder Week 3, but there's a good chance he'll be ready after Detroit's early bye Week 6. First, Jamaal Williams will get another fill-in start for the Lions, with Craig Reynolds and Justin Jackson available off the bench.

Scott (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona.

Scott's status mostly is of fantasy interest insofar as it relates to Miles Sanders' value. With Scott out last week, Sanders had career highs for carries and rushing yards in a win over the Jaguars, while Kenneth Gainwell merely handled his usual role off the bench. Sanders now has a firm grip on the lead role, but he could lose some snaps if Scott avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pollard missed Friday's practice due to an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Patrick Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

The end-of-week addition to the injury report could set up a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, though Pollard shouldn't be in danger of missing more than the one game because of an illness. If Pollard isn't available, Ezekiel Elliott likely would handle more than his usual 60-65 percent of snaps, with Rico Dowdle providing support off the bench.

Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday this week, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Kamara missed two of the past three games, including last week in London after following the same practice routine (limited participation every day). Mark Ingram and Latavius Murray both topped 40 percent snap share in the loss to Minnesota, but with Murray now gone to the Broncos, the Saints might turn back to Tony Jones as the complement to Ingram if Kamara can't play. The Saints will release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, and they've already revealed that it'll include WR Michael Thomas (foot, out) and likely QB Jameis Winston (back/ankle, doubtful).

Hill (hamstring) won't play Sunday versus the Bengals.

Hill emerged from Week 4 with a hamstring issue that kept him out of practice Wednesday through Friday. On Monday, coach John Harbaugh noted Hill was expected to miss some time, and indeed the reserve running back will log at least one DNP. If the Ravens don't activate Gus Edwards (knee) from the reserve/PUP list ahead of Sunday's game, Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake will serve as the options behind lead runner J.K. Dobbins.
