  • Packers' Pierre Strong: Healthy scratch Week 7

    Strong (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    With Josh Jacbos (calf/illness) officially cleared to play, Strong will observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks provide depth out of the backfield. The Packers elevated Strong from the practice squad Saturday, and he can be brought up twice more by Green Bay this season.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Possible concussion

    Nwangwu went to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Panthers to be evaluated for a potential concussion, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Nwangwu went to the locker room to get checked for a possible concussion during the third quarter of Sunday's game. The return specialist had one return for 29 yards against the Panthers and is averaging 35.0 yards per return this season.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Active in Week 7

    Jacobs (illness/calf) is listed as active Sunday at Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Jacobs was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness, but despite the Packers tacking on a calf injury on Friday's practice report, he logged a full session to end Week 7 prep. A questionable designation for Jacobs ensued before Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that the running back was a "true game-time decision." Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Jacobs completed a pregame workout Sunday, after which uncertainty surrounding his availability was extinguished. However, it's unknown if Jacobs will be able to take on his normal 22.6 touches per game. If Jacobs yields some of those reps to the rest of Green Bay's backfield, Emanuel Wilson likely will be the biggest beneficiary, with Chris Brooks also on hand for work.

  • Hassan Haskins RB | LAC

    Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Active Sunday

    Haskins (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Haskins was an addition to the Chargers' injury report Thursday but was listed as a full participant at that day's practice. Though the running back followed that up with a full session Friday, he was still deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his active status confirmed, Haskins -- who had six carries and a catch in last week's win over Miami -- is available to work behind Kimani Vidal (who was the team's starter versus the Dolphins while recording 18 carries, three catches and a TD), with practice-squad elevation Nyheim Hines also on hand.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Gets extra work in blowout win

    Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield. The 2024 third-round pick was averaging 4.8 rushing attempts per game prior to the Week 7 outburst, so managers should keep expectations in check coming out of the Rams' upcoming bye week.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Quiet day in blowout win

    Williams took 12 carries for 54 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 overseas win over Jacksonville.

    Williams' managers suffered a casual stat line in Sunday's one-sided affair after the Rams' passing attack accounted for all five of the team's trips to the end zone in London. The veteran starter's even carry split with Blake Corum (12-37-0) can also be attributed to an unfavorable game script, with six of the backup's carries essentially coming in garbage time. Williams has been a reliable starter in fantasy in 2025, generating 638 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns through seven starts. A lack of scoring is the only thing holding the 24-year-old back from his first-round projections, as he is currently on pace to score 12 touchdowns after averaging 15.5 over his last two standout seasons. Williams will be looking to hit pay dirt when the Rams come out of the bye to face the Saints in Week 9.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Hurts knee Sunday

    Miller was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bears with a knee injury.

    Before his exit, Miller carried once for seven yards. In his absence, Devin Neal is on hand to back up starting RB Alvin Kamara.

  • Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Just nine touches Sunday

    Etienne carried the ball eight times for 44 yards and caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.

    While the fourth-year back was effective with his touches, Etienne got phased out of the game plan in the second half after the Jaguars fell behind 21-0 before halftime. Heading into the team's Week 8 bye, Etienne sports an impressive 594 scrimmage yards and three total TDs through seven contests.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Lines up with starters Sunday

    Hubbard took the first warmup reps at running back with the Panthers' starting offense for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle lined up second in the order at running back, though it doesn't necessarily mean that Hubbard is in line to serve as Carolina's lead option on the ground in Week 7. While Hubbard was sidelined Weeks 5 and 6 due to a calf injury, Dowdle stepped in admirably and ran roughshod over the Miami and Dallas defenses, accruing 389 yards and a touchdown on 53 carries while adding seven receptions for 84 yards and another score. In light of Dowdle's pair of big performances, head coach Dave Canales was non-committal on a starting running back for the Week 7 contest, making it difficult to deploy either Hubbard or Dowdle with much confidence in terms of their projected workload.

  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Eagles' AJ Dillon: Healthy scratch Week 7

    Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Dillon has worked in a rotational role out of the backfield through the first six games of the regular season, but he will observe Sunday's road game on the sidelines in street clothes. The Eagles will go with a three-man backfield of Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby. Dillon's next opportunity to suit up is Week 8 against the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 26.
