Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Inactive against Jacksonville
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
With Ashton Jeanty dominating the Raiders' backfield, and Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube as the reserve backs, White is once again the odd man out on the depth chart. Coming off zero offensive snaps in Week 5, as well as absences in both Week 6 and Week 7, White seems to be destined to ride the inactive list barring injuries to the starting backs.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Active Sunday
Kamara (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at the Rams.
Kamara has been playing through an ankle injury the last two contests and was listed as questionable for Week 9 after logging three limited practices. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported late Saturday that Kamara was in line to suit up Sunday, and the Saints have confirmed as much upon posting their inactive list. Kamara has mustered 74 yards from scrimmage and no TDs on 22 touches during the aforementioned two-game stretch and now will be working with new starting signal-caller Tyler Shough instead of Spencer Rattler moving forward.

Samaje Perine RB | CIN
Bengals' Samaje Perine: Hurts ankle Sunday
Perine exited Sunday's game against the Bears after sustaining a right ankle injury.
Before that, Perine had carried once for five yards. While he's sidelined, 2025 sixth-rounder Tahj Brooks is next up for backfield touches behind Chase Brown.

Jaleel McLaughlin RB | DEN
Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Won't play against Houston
McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
McLaughlin will be a healthy scratch for the eighth time in nine games as the Broncos go with three active running backs in J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie. McLaughlin's next opportunity to see the field is Thursday against the Raiders.

Sione Vaki RB | DET
Lions' Sione Vaki: Cleared to play vs. Minnesota
Vaki (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
A hamstring injury limited Vaki's practice participation all week, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC North tilt. He'll serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery due to Craig Reynolds (hamstring) being inactive.
-
Dameon Pierce RB | KC
Texans' Dameon Pierce: Inactive Sunday
Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
The running back is now a healthy scratch for the fifth time in eight games this season. Nick Chubb and Woody Marks continue to hold down Houston's backfield. Pierce has played on just 23 offensive snaps this year, carrying the ball 10 times for 26 yards and no scores.

Nate Carter RB | ATL
Falcons' Nathan Carter: Healthy scratch Week 9
Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Carter played two snaps on offense during the Falcons' Week 8 loss against the Dolphins and turned two carries into 14 yards. However, the undrafted rookie will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest in New England, as the Falcons go with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier as their two active running backs.

Isiah Pacheco RB | KC
Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Should be back Week 11
Pacheco (knee), who is out for Sunday's game against the Bills, should be back after the Chiefs' Week 10 bye, Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports reports.
Per Wolfson, coach Andy Reid indicated that Pacheco avoided a serious injury, which gives the running back a chance to return to action Nov. 16 against the Broncos. In his absence Sunday, Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are expected to carry Kansas City's backfield load, with Elijah Mitchell a candidate to be active versus Buffalo as well.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: In line to suit up Sunday
Kamara (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Rams, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kamara again dealt with an ankle injury throughout the week and logged a trio of limited practices. Saints coach Kellen Moore said Friday that the star running back was trending in the right direction, and it now appears likely that Kamara will suit up. However, he logged a season-low 51 percent snap share last Sunday while managing the same nagging ankle issue, so it remains to be seen if he'll have a full workload even if he does play.

Jakob Johnson RB | HOU
Texans' Jakob Johnson: Won't return for Week 9
Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Johnson landed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury after Week 3 and returned to practice Wednesday. He turned in full practice sessions Thursday and Friday but will wait until at least Week 10 to be activated.
