Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Not seen at Friday's practice
Stevenson (toe) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
With Stevenson having missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, the running back appears to be trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Falcons. If that ends up being the case, TreVeyon Henderson would be in line for added touches Week 9, with Terrell Jennings mixing in. Additionally, the Patriots have RBs D'Ernest Johnson, Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker on their practice squad.

Justice Hill RB | BAL
Ravens' Justice Hill: Snap count ticks down Thursday
Hill had a two-yard carry and added two receptions for 13 yards in Thursday's win over the Dolphins.
Hill's 11 snaps marked a season low as Baltimore deployed Keaton Mitchell for roughly the same number of plays as the veteran. Lamar Jackson targeted Hill twice, and he managed to bring both in for receptions. Through eight games, Hill has just one game with more than 20 rushing yards, and his pass-catching has tapered off since the bye with just two combined targets in his last two games. Baltimore heads to Minnesota in Week 10.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Walking without issue
Gordon (ankle) was seen walking around the locker room without crutches after Thursday's loss to the Ravens, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Gordon suffered what looked to be a potentially serious injury late in the second quarter Thursday. He didn't reenter the game, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury, with more details likely to emerge in the coming days. Gordon also will benefit from a few extra days of rest prior to a Week 10 matchup against Buffalo.

De'Von Achane RB | MIA
Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Over 100 total yards in loss
Achane rushed 14 times for 67 yards and secured six of 10 targets for 39 yards in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Achane gained exactly 67 rushing yards for the second straight game, although he was more efficient Thursday with an average of 4.8 yards per carry than he had been against the Falcons on Sunday (3.7 YPC). Achane was also once again heavily involved as a pass catcher, tying his third-highest reception total of the campaign. The versatile back continues to boast a safe floor irrespective of the inconsistencies of the Dolphins offense, and he'll be teed up for a favorable matchup in a Week 10 home matchup against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Ravens' Derrick Henry: Over 100 yards in Lamar's return
Henry rushed 19 times for 119 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Ravens' 28-6 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.
Henry's yardage total, which was partly fueled by a game-long 35-yard run, was his third highest of the season and marked his second time over the 100-yard mark in the last three contests. The bruising running back also has seen his carry volume tick up after averaging just 11.5 per game between Weeks 2-5, as he's logged between 19 and 24 rush attempts in the last three contests. Henry should remain in an elevated role during a Week 10 road matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Questionable to return Thursday
Gordon is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Gordon was blocking on a play late in the second quarter, and a Baltimore defender rolled up on his leg. He was able to walk off the field and was briefly evaluated in the blue tent prior to heading to the locker room. If Gordon is ruled out, De'Von Achane will be the Dolphins' only remaining available running back. Gordon is set to undergo X-rays, per the Prime Video broadcast.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Headed to locker room
Gordon exited Thursday's game against the Ravens and went to the locker room with an apparent lower-body injury, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Gordon was blocking on a play late in the second quarter and was accidentally rolled up on by a Baltimore defender. He briefly went to the blue tent but walked back to the locker room, leaving his ability to return to the game in doubt.

Robbie Ouzts RB | SEA
Seahawks' Robbie Ouzts: Practices in full again
Ouzts (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The fullback was also a full participant in Wednesday's session, two days after being designated to return from injured reserve. Ouzts is on track to play this Sunday against the Commanders after missing Seattle's last four games. The rookie started two of the Seahawks' first three contests and could provide a blocking boost to Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet upon his return.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Limited in return to practice
Demercado (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Demercado thus logged his first on-field work since he injured his left ankle Week 6 at Indianapolis. He proceeded to sit out Week 7 against the Packers, but a Week 8 bye seemingly has afforded him enough recovery time to put himself in a position to play again. With James Conner (foot) out for the season and Trey Benson (knee) still on injured reserve for a few more weeks, the Cardinals are set to roll with Bam Knight as their primary runner, but who between Demercado and practice-squad members Michael Carter and Jermar Jefferson is the No. 2 on Monday in Dallas remains to be seen.

Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Inactive Thursday
Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
With Wright the odd man out versus Baltimore, De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon will handle Miami's Week 9 backfield duties. Wright's next chance to suit up for game action will arrive Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Bills.
