Elliott (calf) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Elliott is dealing with a calf contusion, but the report notes that coach Mike McCarthy doesn't think the running back aggravated the injury in Sunday's win over Bengals. Listed as questionable ahead of that contest, Elliott suited up and proceeded to play 32 snaps while finishing with 12 carries for 48 yards and two catches for 11 yards.

Gordon (shoulder) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, but he appears on track to play in Saturday's game against the Bills, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Gordon nicked up his shoulder late during last weekend's win over the Panthers. He couldn't practice in any capacity Tuesday, but his return to limited activity a day later is a sign of progress. Coach Vic Fanigo also said that backfield mate Phillip Lindsay (hip) should be available Week 15.

The Jets designated Perine (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Perine, who suffered a high-ankle sprain Week 11, was placed on injured reserve Nov. 24. Now that he's ready to resume practicing, the rookie could find himself back on the team's active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. If that's the case, Perine would likely fill a complementary role in a New York backfield that also includes Frank Gore, Ty Johnson and Josh Adams.

Dillon didn't play an offensive snap during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

The rookie second-round pick was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday but played only a handful of snaps on special teams in his return. Dillon is unlikely to be much of a factor in the offense if Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams remain healthy down the stretch.

Ozigbo caught all four of his targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Titans.

Ozigbo's production is a bit misleading, as he played only six offensive snaps, and all four catches came on Jacksonville's final drive of the blowout loss. Dare Ogunbowale had one catch for 12 yards and operated as the backup to workhorse James Robinson for most of the contest.

Wilkins registered three yards on his lone carry and added a four-yard catch on two targets during Sunday's 44-27 win over the Raiders.

When Jonathan Taylor suffered a minor ankle injury Week 8 against the Lions, Wilkins picked up the slack by amassing 113 scrimmage yards and a touchdown over 21 touches. His involvement has steadily deteriorated since, and he hasn't seen more than nine touches or 26 offensive snaps in five straight games. Wilkins will continue to serve as the No. 3 option behind Taylor and Nyheim Hines in Week 15's matchup against Houston's 31st-ranked rush defense.

The Browns cut Kelly from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Kelly has been with the practice squad since the beginning of the season but was never elevated to the active roster. The 24-year-old running back has banked eight NFL games in his two-year career, posting 83 yards on 30 carries and 27 yards on two receptions.

McKinnon did not receive an offensive snap during Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

McKinnon tallied touchdowns in four consecutive games (over 47 touches) Weeks 1 through 4, but he's now gone scoreless in four straight, while his offensive role has completely dissipated. Raheem Mostert's Week 12 return from a high-ankle sprain has certainly played into McKinnon's reduced involvement, as the former Viking has gotten only five touches since that point. Jeff Wilson, too, has become a backfield fixture of late, with double-digit carries in two of the past three weeks.

Bohanon was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Bohanon was cut for the second time in as many weeks. The 30-year-old running back has yet to play since his 2018 campaign with Jacksonville, when he played all 16 games in a reserve role.

Jacobs (ankle) was limited at Tuesday's practice.

For a second consecutive day, the Raiders listed Jacobs as limited, only this time they held him out of practice. The team seems to be managing his reps with a short turnaround between games, but Wednesday's injury report may still leave the running back as a question mark for Thursday's game versus the Chargers. While Jacobs played through his ankle issue this past Sunday against the Colts, he logged a season-low share of the offensive snaps (43 percent) en route to 16 touches for 74 yards from scrimmage and no TDs.
