Evans had one catch for seven yards without any carries in the Week 11 win over the Raiders.

Even in a game where the Bengals had a lead most of the game, Evans played only 10 offensive snaps. As long as Joe Mixon is fully healthy, as he is now, Evans' role will be minimized.

Perine was limited to nine offensive snaps in the Week 11 win over the Raiders. He had two carries for three yards along with three catches for 18 yards.

Joe Mixon is fully healthy again and is back to being the Bengals' bell-cow running back. Thus, Perine has been relegated to traditional backup duties, even when the Bengals were ahead most of the game.

Scott rushed six times for 16 yards and caught both of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 40-29 win over the Saints.

Each of Scott's catches came in the first half, but he didn't see a single carry until after halftime. He got the first series after the break to himself, and then Jordan Howard hurt his knee and opened up more work for the 26-year-old. With Howard likely to miss Week 12, the Louisiana Tech product will likely be Miles Sanders' main backup on the road against the Giants.

Benjamin notched six carries for 15 yards, hauled in his only target for five yards and returned one kickoff for 19 yards during Sunday's 23-13 win in Seattle.

In two-plus games subbing in for Chase Edmonds (ankle), Benjamin has hovered between 23 and 28 percent of the offensive plays, while starter James Conner has accounted for a whopping 76-81 percent. The result has been 21 carries for 76 yards, Sunday's five-yard catch and one rushing TD on Benjamin's ledger. With Edmonds sidelined, Conner has turned into a three-down back, and Benjamin has had little more than scraps on a weekly basis. Edmonds will miss the Cardinals' next game Sunday, Dec. 5 at Chicago due to the requirement that he must sit out at least three contests while on injured reserve, so Benjamin does have at least one more chance to be a regular part of the offense.

Jones rushed eight times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-10 win over the Giants.

Jones took a carry around the left side to score from six yards out in the second quarter, marking his second end-zone trip of the campaign. With the Buccaneers never relinquishing the lead that play gave them, Jones was incorporated slightly more in the running game than usual, getting just two fewer carries than starter Leonard Fournette. Even though he was again efficient with his touches Monday, Jones' backup role limits his expected value ahead of Week 12's matchup versus the Colts.

Bawden reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Bawden was on the field for eight snaps on offense and 17 on special teams in the Week 11 loss to the Dolphins. He also hauled in his lone target of the day for 20 yards. Sunday's contest marked the second straight game he's appeared in for New York.

Barkley rushed six times for 25 yards and caught all six of his targets for 31 yards in Monday night's 30-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

Barkley's first appearance since Week 5 saw him fall victim to an ugly offensive performance from the Giants, albeit against a tough opponent. The tailback's six rushing attempts actually paced New York on a night when the team never led and had to throw the ball 39 times, but Barkley fortunately was also incorporated as a pass-catcher. Along with hauling in all of his targets, only Kadarius Toney made more grabs for New York. Although his 56 scrimmage yards still weren't anything special, Barkley can at least be pleased with his involvement in his return from another injury stint. He'll strive to build on Monday's appearance in what could be a more favorable game script against the Eagles in Week 12.

Barkley (ankle) is listed as active Monday at Tampa Bay.

Barkley last took the field in Week 5, when he managed just six snaps at Dallas before suffering a severe left ankle sprain. He returned to practice following the Giants' Week 10 bye and officially was limited Thursday through Saturday before being termed questionable for Week 11 action. Now back in uniform after a four-game absence, Barkley is slated to be New York's lead ball carrier ahead of Devontae Booker, who averaged 19 touches per game in his place. Prior to hitting injured reserve, Barkley averaged 3.6 yards on 54 carries, hauled in 14 of 20 targets for 130 yards and scored three TDs in five contests.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan described Mitchell (finger) as "day-to-day" Monday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Shanahan relayed the news one day removed from Mitchell sitting out the 49ers' Week 11 win at Jacksonville due to a broken middle finger on his right hand. Mitchell underwent surgery on the appendage last Tuesday and didn't practice last week as a result. San Francisco gets back on the field Wednesday as it prepares for a visit from the Vikings on Sunday, but it remains to be seen if Mitchell makes the requisite progress in his recovery. Against the Jags, Jeff Wilson paced the 49ers backfield with 40 (of 69) offensive snaps and 20 touches, while Deebo Samuel (55 and nine, respectively), Kyle Juszczyk (38, one) and Trey Sermon (24, 11) were next up in the pecking order with JaMycal Hasty (ankle) also sidelined.

Williams (calf/knee) was a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough.

Williams was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Ravens, his second consecutive absence, and he was unable to take the field one day later. The 29-year-old will need to make some progress in his recovery over the next couple days to have a chance of suiting up Thursday at Detroit.
