Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson will join D'Andre Swift (groin) on the sidelines for this one, leaving Kyle Monangai and Travis Homer as the lone healthy running backs currently on the 53-man roster. Brittain Brown is on the practice squad as a likely elevation for Week 9.

Davis (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Davis didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness but capped Week 9 prep with back-to-back full sessions, paving the way for him to be available Sunday. His touch count has been hit or miss this season, with a pair of nine-carry outings and then seven combined touches in his five other appearances this season. James Cook has dominated the Bills backfield, while Ty Johnson has been more involved than Davis, leaving the latter on the outside looking in.

Allgeier (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Allgeier played through the same injury last week and ended up handling a season-high 40 percent snap share in the 34-10 loss to Miami. He'll likely play much less this week, unless the Falcons end up in a blowout again

Swift (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Swift played through the same groin injury and remained productive the past few weeks, but he's now set to miss at least one game after not practicing at all during Week 9 prep. Bears coach Ben Johnson discussed Swift's nagging groin injury earlier Friday, telling reporters that the Bears are "just doing our due diligence" and "want to make sure we have [Swift] in a good spot for the whole season," per Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com. In any case, Kyle Monangai will be Chicago's lead back Sunday, likely taking on a large workload against one of the worst defenses in the league.

Dowdle is expected to start Sunday's game at Green Bay and take a majority of carries, with Chuba Hubbard still part of the offense in a lesser role, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

The writing was on the wall Monday when Panthers coach Dave Canales told reporters, "We cannot ignore the fact that [Dowdle] has been exceptional." Canales also mentioned how much Hubbard has meant to the organization, which is perhaps a hint that Dowdle won't have strong job security even if he does take on much larger workloads in the short term. Dowdle and Hubbard largely alternated drives the past two weeks, with neither providing much fantasy production even though Dowdle's per-touch efficiency remained strong. Maintaining that efficiency Week 9 will be difficult, to say the least, as the Panthers are dealing with a slew of offensive line injuries while facing a top defense on the road.

Kamara (ankle) is officially questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, but Saints coach Kellen Moore said Friday that the running back is trending in the right direction, WWLAM's Jeff Nowak reports.

Moore said the same of WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) and CB Alontae Taylor (shoulder), with all three getting 'questionable' designations after limited practice participation this week. Any setbacks for Kamara would lead to more work for Devin Neal, who is alo listed with an ankle injury but seemingly on track to play.

Coach Andy Reid said Friday that Pacheco (knee) is unlikely to play Sunday at Buffalo, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Pacheco took a hit to the side of his right knee late during Monday's 28-7 win against the Commanders and was diagnosed with an MCL sprain afterward. He proceeded to miss all three practices during Week 9 prep and now is poised to be ruled out ahead of Sunday's game. With Pacheco set to be sidelined, Kareem Hunt is poised to be the Chiefs' primary backfield option this weekend, while Brashard Smith and potentially Elijah Mitchell also will be on hand for RB reps.

With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Johnson is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 9 action, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com.

For now, TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings are the only healthy running backs on New England's active roster, but Johnson, Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker are all candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad Saturday. If Johnson ends up getting the call versus Atlanta, he'd be in line to share backup work with Jennings, with Henderson slated to be the Patriots' lead back this weekend.

With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Henderson is in line to serve as the Patriots' lead back this weekend, per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site.

Henderson broke out for a career-high 75 yards on 10 carries in last week's win over the Browns, a game in which Stevenson logged 14 carries and a catch on two targets. In Stevenson's absence, Henderson is poised to see an uptick in touches versus Atlanta, a context that provides a boost to the 2025 second-rounder's fantasy lineup appeal Week 9. For now, Terrell Jennings is the only other healthy running back on New England's active roster, but D'Ernest Johnson, Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker are candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad.

Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Stevenson (toe) will be out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

With Stevenson unavailable this weekend and thus targeting a return to action Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Buccaneers, TreVeyon Henderson is poised to see added touches Sunday, which boosts his Week 9 fantasy lineup appeal. For now, Terrell Jennings is the only other healthy running back on the Patriots' active roster, but D'Ernest Johnson, Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker are candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad.
