The Patriots have listed Taylor (quadriceps) as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Taylor was a limited participant at practice all week and appears to be trending toward a true game-time decision. Even if he does get the green light, the 22-year-old has not seen any action on the field since Week 3 mainly due to coaching decisions.

Jacobs (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Jets, but the Raiders are hopeful the running back can return in Week 14, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It's a bit of an optimistic tone considering the running back didn't practice all week. Of course, the Raiders would like to have their star running back healthy as the team pushes for a playoff spot, but the tone of Saturday's latest report seems to suggest it'll once again come down to Jacobs' practice status later next week. For now, expect Devontae Booker to get the bulk of the carries in Jacobs' absence.

The Ravens signed Bohanon to the practice squad Friday.

Bohanon will add depth at fullback moving forward. Patrick Ricard typically handles that position for the Ravens, but he's currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list and could miss another game. Bohanon last played in 2018 when he suited up in 16 games for the Jaguars.

The Chargers cut Gore from the practice squad Friday.

The Chargers are healthier in the backfield now that Austin Ekeler is back from IR. They're adding depth elsewhere with JJ Molson signing with the practice squad, and Gore was let go in a corresponding move. An undrafted rookie out of Louisiana-Monroe, Gore has yet to make his NFL debut.

Edwards-Helaire (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Broncos, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Though Edwards-Helaire missed practice both Thursday and Friday due to a stomach virus, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star relays that coach Andy Reid sounds hopeful about the running back's Week 13 status. "We think we're going to get him back here," Reid noted Friday. "I mean, I don't think that's a problem. He's feeling better today, but we held him out." Look for added clarity regarding Edwards-Helaire's availability to arrive no later than Sunday morning, after the likes of ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport post their late night/early morning injury updates.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Penny (knee) is slated to join the team for practice next week, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Penny has been sidelined for a full year after tearing the ACL in his left knee, but the third-year running back finally is ready to take a major step forward in his recovery by getting back on the practice field. Once he takes part in his first practice, Penny will initiate a 21-day window for the Seahawks to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. Given his lengthy layoff, Penny will likely need more than one week of practice time to prepare himself for game action, so don't expect him to make his 2020 debut until Week 15 in Washington, at the soonest.

Homer (wrist/thumb/knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants, Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest reports.

Homer is dealing with a trio of injuries and is expected to be sidelined for the third straight game as a result. Chris Carson (foot) is clear of an injury designation and will lead Seattle's backfield Week 13.

Kamara (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

After being listed as limited on the first two practice reports of Week 13, Kamara capped the week with a full session, paving the way for him to suit up Sunday. With Taysom Hill directing the offense in place of Drew Brees (ribs) the last two games, Kamara has been splitting the backfield reps with Latavius Murray, compiling 25 touches for 97 yards from scrimmage and one TD to the latter's 34-211-2 line. It'll be interesting if Kamara will be able to swing the pendulum in his favor this weekend.

Dobbins was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.

The Ravens made a series of transactions Friday, and Dobbins now is back on the active roster. The Ravens have multiple practice opportunities remaining before Tuesday's game against the Cowboys, which should give Dobbins time to prepare. It's worth noting as well that Mark Ingram was not among those activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, so that could be one less player to compete with for carries when it comes to Dobbins. Look for Dobbins and Gus Edwards to be Baltimore's primary running backs Tuesday.

Swift (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Chicago, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Swift cleared the concussion protocol as of Thursday, but he proceeded to miss the final two practices of the week due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. If he receives clearance to play Sunday for the first time since Week 10, interim coach Darrell Bevell told Justin Rogers of The Detroit News that Swift will have a "smaller, game-plan specific role." As a result, it'll be difficult to trust an active Swift after Adrian Peterson compiled 15 carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns against the Texans on Thanksgiving Day.
