Sanders left Sunday's game at Buffalo due to a shoulder injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Both Sanders and Jordan Howard got banged up in the third quarter, with the former heading to the locker room immediately with the training staff. While Howard's injury is unknown, Sanders is questionable to return, leaving Boston Scott as the Eagles' only healthy and available running back. If he doesn't reenter the game, Sanders will finish with three carries for 74 yards and a TD to go with three receptions (on three targets) for 44 yards.

Harris is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

The return of Rex Burkhead (foot) pushes the rookie back to the Patriots' Week 8 inactive list. In the event that Sony Michel suffers an injury down the road, Harris could factor in on early downs, but for now the 2019 third-rounder is off the fantasy radar.

Jacobs (shoulder) is active for Sunday's tilt against the Texans.

This development was increasingly expected, with multiple late-week and weekend reports indicating Jacobs was trending in the right direction. The impressive rookie should be available for his usual workload Week 8 against a relatively tough Texans run defense.

Mostert (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

Mostert was a limited practice participant this week, but he nonetheless will be available to the backfield and special-teams unit in this one. In Week 7, he didn't log a single offensive snap, so it's a good bet Jeff Wilson will handle any RB reps that don't go to Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida.

The Dolphins have agreed in principle to a trade involving Drake, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

This news confirms why the running back didn't accompany the Dolphins to Pittsburgh for Monday night's game against the Steelers. It hasn't yet been revealed which team Drake will be headed to, but per the report, an agreement on that front was arrived at Saturday night. Thought to be among his possible destinations are Tennessee and Detroit. With Drake in line to be on the move, Miami's backfield is now slated to be be led by Mark Walton, with Kalen Ballage in reserve and Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin candidates to serve as the team's No. 3 back.

With Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald relaying that Kenyan Drake (not injury-related) won't travel with the Dolphins for Monday night's game at Pittsburgh, Walton is in line to head the team's Week 8 backfield.

It's assumed that Drake not traveling with the team likely foreshadows a deal prior to Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. If the team moves Drake, Walton -- who led the team with 14 carries in Week 7 -- will be in line to serve as the team's lead back in the coming weeks, with Kalen Ballage also in the mix.

The Dolphins have announced that Drake will not travel with the team for Monday night's game against the Steelers, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Drake isn't known to be dealing with any sort of injury, which suggests that he's likely to be dealt before Tuesday's trade deadline. With Drake not in line to suit up Monday night, the Dolphins' Week 8 backfield is slated to be led by Mark Walton and Kalen Ballage.

Zenner will be Chase Edmonds' backup Sunday in New Orleans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Zenner was among two running backs signed this week to provide depth to the Cardinals' backfield. With Alfred Morris joining David Johnson (ankle) on the inactive list Sunday, Zenner is the only other RB available to the offense behind starter Chase Edmonds. For his career, Zenner has averaged 3.9 yards per carry while hauling in 28 of 39 targets in 37 appearances.

Edmonds will start Sunday's game in New Orleans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds unexpectedly fueled the Cardinals offense Week 7, when David Johnson (ankle) was active but played just three early offensive snaps before shutting it down for the day. With a 94 percent share of those plays, Edmonds ran over and through the Giants to the tune of 29 touches for 150 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns. While he'll find the going tougher against the Saints' ninth-ranked run defense, a workload similar to last Sunday should give Edmonds plenty of opportunity to produce.

Bawden (foot) is active Week 8 against the Giants.

Bawden overcame a back injury to take the field last week, but it was a foot issue that limited his practice time in advance of the home matchup against New York. The only difference for Bawden this week is he'll be blocking for the likes of Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic, who will be taking on running back duties after Kerryon Johnson (knee) was placed on IR.
