Coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints that McKinnon suffered a stinger late in the game, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports reports.

Prior to the injury, McKinnon rushed 18 times for 33 yards and caught one of three targets for 13 yards. Fellow running back JaMycal Hasty left earlier in the contest with a collarbone injury, but San Francisco will have the benefit of a bye next week to allow the team's injury-riddled backfield to heal up.

Jacobs registered 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, adding four catches for 24 yards during Sunday's 37-12 win against Denver.

Jacobs torched the Broncos for 5.3 yards per carry with assistance from five runs of nine yards or more, notching his third multi-TD outing of 2020 in the process. The 2019 No. 24 overall draft choice has garnered 15 or more offensive touches in every game but one this season. Las Vegas prepares for a rematch with Kansas City in Week 11; the first time the teams met this season, Jacobs compiled 85 scrimmage yards and two TDs against the Chiefs' 28th-ranked rush defense.

Ahmed rushed 21 times for 85 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for five yards in the Dolphins' 29-21 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

The undrafted rookie from Washington earned himself an audition as the lead back after gaining 38 yards on seven rushes in a Week 9 win over the Cardinals, and he did not disappoint with the opportunity. With backfield mates Matt Breida (hamstring), Jordan Howard (coach's decision) and Lynn Bowden (coach's decision) all sitting out, Ahmed was the clear-cut bell-cow option, with Patrick Laird and DeAndre Washington both a distant second with a pair of carries apiece. Ahmed also recorded his first NFL touchdown with a one-yard plunge to finish off the Dolphins' first drive of the afternoon, and his strong numbers leave him poised for another voluminous workload in a Week 11 battle against the Broncos.

Taylor (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Taylor hasn't logged any action since Week 3, despite injuries and other absences plaguing the Patriots backfield. With Sony Michel (quadriceps) not playing Sunday but poised to return from IR soon, Taylor may be a regular healthy scratch moving forward with Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead all available.

Hasty (collarbone) left Sunday's game against the Saints to go to the locker room, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Hasty rushed three times for 13 yards and caught both of his targets for minus-4 yards before exiting. Jerick McKinnon should handle an even larger portion of San Francisco's backfield snaps with the backup running back unavailable, and Hasty can be considered questionable to return at this time.

Harris (chest/ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's home game against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

With Sony Michel (quad) still on IR, the Patriots' other backfield options Sunday are the versatile Rex Burkhead and change-of-pace back James White, while rookie J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch. Assuming no in-game setbacks, Harris -- who's averaging 5.6 yards per carry to date -- should lead the way in early-down situations, with Burkhead and White mixing in. Given Harris' limited involvement in the New England passing game, his path to fantasy relevance Week 10 is logging double-digit touches and finding his way into the end zone against the rugged Ravens defense. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, weather could be a factor Sunday night, with rain and wind in the Foxborough forecast.

Swift logged 16 carries for 81 yards while catching all five of his targets for 68 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 30-27 win over Washington.

In his first career start, Swift handled 21 touches compared to six between Adrian Peterson and Kerryon Johnson combined. While Swift's efficiency both through the air and on the ground against a solid Washington defensive front shouldn't give the Lions coaching staff any reason to go away from him, it's not certain the committee approach at running back is over in Detroit. How Swift is used in Week 11 against a declining Panthers defense will be telling.

Homer suffered a hand injury during Sunday's road contest versus the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

With Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) sidelined for a third consecutive game, the Seahawks backfield was manned by a combination of Homer, Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas. Curiously, Homer (three catches for 19 yards on three targets) and Dallas (two receptions for 23 yards on two targets) were contained to pass-catching reps, while Collins drew all eight carries (for 29 yards and a TD) given to Seattle running backs. With Homer considered doubtful to return, Collins and Dallas likely will close out Week 10 as the team's only RBs.

Scott carried the ball three times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Giants. He chipped in one reception for 11 yards.

Scott saw his opportunity decrease significantly due to the return of Miles Sanders. Even with only four total touches, he still managed to provide the Eagles with their most explosive play of the contest when he ripped off a 56-yard touchdown to start the second half. Despite the impressive run, Scott touched the ball only once more the remainder of the game, making it clear that Sanders is the lead back so long as he remains healthy.

Robinson compiled 109 rushing yards on 23 carries, adding two receptions for three yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to Green Bay.

Robinson was the only Jaguars player to garner a carry during the Week 10 loss, as Chris Thompson (back) was forced to exit the contest in the first quarter. The undrafted rookie from Illinois State has been fed a heavy workload of 23.3 carries per contest over his past three outings, after he never once exceeded 17 rush attempts in a game Weeks 1 through 6. Robinson has translated the increased opportunity into 327 rushing yards and three total touchdowns, significantly improved production from the 60.3 rushing yards per game he had churned out over the first six appearances of his NFL career. Robinson remains the unquestioned No. 1 back for Jacksonville heading into a daunting Week 11 matchup against Pittsburgh's No. 9 rush defense.
