Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Elevated for Week 6
The Patriots elevated Jennings from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
It's Jennings first elevation from the practice of the season, and he's slated to serve as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson during Sunday's game against the Saints. Jennings logged 13 carries for 33 yards across three regular-season games with New England in 2024.

Travis Homer RB | CHI
Bears' Travis Homer: Questionable to play Monday
Homer (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Commanders.
Homer started the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury that he suffered in preseason action in August. He was a full participant in practice this past week, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to have a chance at playing in Washington on Monday. Once he's cleared to return, Homer could be deployed on special teams as a returner while providing depth in the Bears' backfield.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: In line to play Sunday
Kamara (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Kamara told Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune that he injured his ankle in last Sunday's win over the Giants, which left him limited in practice Wednesday through Friday. Ultimately, Kamara's status for Sunday's contest will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's active, there's a chance he cedes some snaps to his primary backup, Kendre Miller.

Ameer Abdullah RB | IND
Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Elevated from practice squad
The Colts elevated Abdullah from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Cardinals.
Abdullah will serve as the team's No. 3 running back for the second straight week as Tyler Goodson remains sidelined due to a groin injury. Abdullah carried the ball two times for six yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Raiders while playing on both offense and special teams. The team will be able to elevate the 32-year-old just one more time following Sunday's matchup.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | WAS
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Status in question for Monday
Rodriguez (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Bears.
Rodriguez officially was listed as a DNP on all three of the Commanders' Week 6 practice reports due to a calf injury, but the team still is giving him a chance to suit up Monday. Even if he's available, though, he'll be a complementary option at best along with Jeremy McNichols behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Such a role has amounted to 23 carries for 105 yards and no touchdowns and zero targets in three contests this season.

Miles Sanders RB | DAL
Cowboys' Miles Sanders: Moves to injured reserve
The Cowboys placed Sanders (knee/ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
After Executive Vice President Stephen Jones announced Friday that Sanders was slated for season-ending knee surgery, this move was inevitable. Moving forward, rookie Jaydon Blue and fullback Hunter Luepke will be the options out of the Cowboys backfield behind starter Javonte Williams.

Rachaad White RB | TB
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Set for another start
White will serve as the Buccaneers' No. 1 RB on Sunday against the 49ers with Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) ruled out for that contest, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
With Irving inactive for this past Sunday's 38-35 win at Seattle, White dominated offensive snap share (80 percent) and touches (18) among Tampa Bay running backs en route to 71 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs. Meanwhile, Sean Tucker (21 percent, six touches) and Josh Williams (three percent, no touches) were distant second and third options, respectively. Irving didn't practice this week, so beyond Week 6, White could be in line for additional elevated workloads until the former is able to get back on the practice field and prove the health of his left foot and shoulder.

Sione Vaki RB | DET
Lions' Sione Vaki: Won't play against Kansas City
Vaki (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Vaki has not been able to practice since suffering a groin injury in Week 3 against the Ravens. He'll miss a third consecutive game due to the injury, and the 2024 fourth-rounder's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against Tampa Bay on Monday, Oct. 20. Craig Reynolds and Jacob Saylors will continue to serve as the Lions' depth backfield options behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC
Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Clear for Week 6
Tuten (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks.
Tuten was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a lingering shoulder injury and then had a cap on his reps both Thursday and Friday. However, it won't stop him from continuing to serve as the Jaguars' No. 2 RB behind starter Travis Etienne. Such a role has amounted to 26 touches for 128 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs for Tuten over the last four games.

Miles Sanders RB | DAL
Cowboys' Miles Sanders: Set for season-ending knee surgery
Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said Friday that Sanders will undergo season-ending knee surgery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Sanders initially was forced out Week 4 against the Packers due to an ankle injury and then didn't suit up this past Sunday at the Jets due to listed knee and ankle issues. It appears the knee is the greater concern for Sanders following Jones' announcement, and the running back will finish the 2025 campaign with 20 carries for 117 yards and one touchdown and eight catches (on eight targets) for 30 yards in parts of four games. Jaydon Blue will step into the No. 2 role behind starting RB Javonte Williams moving forward.
