The Colts have elevated Abdullah from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

With fellow RB Tyler Goodson (groin) having been ruled out for the contest, Abdullah will provide depth and experience Sunday to an Indianapolis backfield that's led by Jonathan Taylor and also includes DJ Giddens. As long as Taylor remains healthy, however, there won't be much volume for his backups.

Mitchell is expected to be active Sunday against the Texans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell has been a scratch for each of the Ravens' first four games thus far, but it looks like he could contribute to the team's offense this week. In such a scenario, Mitchell would provide Baltimore's backfield, which also includes Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali, with a speed option in a contest that will be helmed by QB Cooper Rush, with star dual-threat signal-caller Lamar Jackson(hamstring) out versus Houston.

The Jets cut Toafili from the practice squad Friday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

The move makes room on the practice squad for fellow running back Avery Williams. It's the second time Toafili has been removed from the Jets' practice squad this season. The undrafted rookie may be invited back with Gang Green at some point this season, but he will now have the chance to explore his options and catch on with a team in need of backfield depth on the practice squad.

Nwangwu (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Dallas, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Nwangwu hasn't played since Week 1 and didn't practice at all this week, making it seem more likely that he'll miss a fourth straight game. Isaiah Davis has been operating as the Jets' return man in Nwangwu's absence, though Davis will have a heightened offensive role going forward with Braelon Allen (knee) set to miss the next two-plus months.

Vaki (groin) has been ruled for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Vaki was unable to practice all week and will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a groin injury. His absence means Craig Reynolds will continue to serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Vaki will look to return to practice next week and be available for the Lions' Week 6 road clash against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Tucker and Rachaad White will pace the Buccaneers backfield Sunday in Seattle after Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) was ruled out for the contest, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

The tandem may be called upon Week 6 versus the 49ers, too, as Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported earlier Friday that Irving is in danger of missing a second game due to a right foot sprain and a shoulder injury. After Irving departed a Week 14 matchup with the Raiders due to injury last season, Tucker was outpaced by White by a significant margin in both snap share (75-19) and touches (19-3). Whether or not a similar breakdown occurs Sunday remains to be seen.

White and Sean Tucker will man the Buccaneers backfield Sunday at Seattle after Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) was ruled out for the contest, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Irving wasn't able to practice this week due to a sprained right foot and a shoulder injury, and there's a chance he'll sit out Week 6 against the 49ers, too, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. In the meantime, White and Tucker will handle most of the RB reps. When Irving made an early exit from a Week 14 matchup with the Raiders due to injury last season, White turned 19 touches into 109 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 75 percent snap share, while Tucker recorded three carries for 47 yards on 19 percent of the plays.

Davis is expected to serve as the Jets' No. 2 running back beginning with Sunday's game against the Cowboys after New York placed Braelon Allen (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Aaron Glenn noted that Allen is expected to miss an estimated 8-to-12 weeks while recovering from what's believed to be an MCL injury, giving Davis an extended runway as the top backup to starter Breece Hall. Through the first four weeks of the season, Davis had used mostly as a third-down back, playing fewer than 35 percent of the offensive snaps in each contest while totaling 27 yards on five carries and 24 yards on three receptions. The Jets signed Khalil Herbert off the Seahawks' practice squad Thursday to bolster their depth in the backfield while Allen is out, but Davis should get the first chance to serve as the team's lead option if Hall needs to miss time at any point. So long as Hall is healthy, however, Davis likely won't be in store for a big enough boost in playing time and touches sans Allen to make him usable in most fantasy leagues.

Tuten (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Tuten has now had his reps managed for both of the Jaguars' first two practices of Week 5, giving him one more chance to potentially upgrade to full participation before Jacksonville decides whether he carries a designation into Monday's game against the Chiefs. Since the Jaguars traded away Tank Bigsby following Week 1, Tuten has operated as the No. 2 option in the backfield behind Travis Etienne over the subsequent three contests, averaging seven touches for 39 yards while scoring two touchdowns during that stretch.

Sanders (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Jets, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Since exiting the Cowboys' Week 4 tie with the Packers just before halftime, Sanders was diagnosed with a right ankle injury and then didn't practice Wednesday through Friday due to listed knee and ankle issues. Despite the lack of activity this week, the team is giving him a chance to be available to the offense Sunday, which will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. kickoff. If Sanders is inhibited or sidelined, Jaydon Blue and Hunter Luepke would be the candidates for RB reps behind starter Javonte Williams, with Malik Davis a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad.
