Hubbard (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Hubbard was a limited participant in the Panthers' final two practices of Week 4 on account of the calf issue, but despite taking a questionable tag into Sunday, he looks like he'll be ready to handle his usual duties as Carolina's lead back. The 26-year-old has handled snap shares north of 60 percent in each of the Panthers' first three contests and has scored two touchdowns while averaging 80.7 yards from scrimmage on 17.6 touches per game.

Croskey-Merritt (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

The knee issue kept Croskey-Merritt from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, but he took a questionable tag into the weekend after logging a full session Friday. With Croskey-Merritt apparently bouncing back well following Friday's practice, he'll be available Sunday as part of a backfield committee with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez, though quarterback Marcus Mariota and wide receiver Deebo Samuel could also factor into Washington's game plan on the ground. After Austin Ekeler (Achilles) suffered a season-ending injury in the Week 2 loss to the Packers, Croskey-Merritt played a season-high 40 percent of snaps in the Week 3 win over the Raiders, finishing with 26 yards and a touchdown on eight carries to go with a five-yard reception.

Gainwell is likely to serve as the Steelers' starting running back during Sunday's game against the Vikings in Dublin, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Though lead back Jaylen Warren (knee) was listed as questionable heading into Sunday, he had generally been expected to play until the Steelers made him inactive after he didn't respond as well to pregame warmups as the team had hoped. Warren should be ready to play following the Steelers' Week 5 bye, but his absence for the Ireland game clears the way for Gainwell to step into a more pronounced role. Gainwell served as the Steelers' clear No. 2 running back through the first three weeks of the season and has accrued a 16-55-1 rushing line and 7-30-0 receiving line on 10 targets, though he had seen his snap share trend down in each successive game. Expect Gainwell's playing time to dramatically increase out of necessity Sunday, though he could operate as the lead option of a committee rather than a true three-down back. The Steelers have made both Kaleb Johnson and Trey Sermon active for Week 4, and both could see some involvement on early downs in order to keep Gainwell fresh on passing downs.

Warren (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings in Dublin, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Though Warren had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday after he was a limited participant in practice all week due to a right knee injury, the prevailing belief heading into gameday was that he would be ready to handle his usual duties as the team's lead back. Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Warren was spotted warming up with a sleeve on his right leg earlier Sunday, but the 26-year-old ultimately didn't display enough progress for the Steelers to sign off on him playing. With Warren out of the mix, the Steelers will have Kenneth Gainwell, Kaleb Johnson and Trey Sermon as their available running backs in Week 4. With the benefit of a Week 5 bye, Warren should have sufficient time to heal from the knee issue and headline the Pittsburgh backfield in the team's next game Oct. 12 versus the Browns.

Swift (hip) is slated to play Sunday at Las Vegas, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Swift has operated with a cap on his practice reps the last two weeks, first due to a quad injury during Week 3 prep and then a hip issue prior to Week 4 action. He was able to handle 61 percent of the snaps during last Sunday's win against the Cowboys on his way to 16 touches for 78 yards from scrimmage. Swift's status wil receive clarity once the Bears post their inactive list about 90 minutes before this Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Croskey-Merritt (knee) is in line to play Sunday in Atlanta, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Croskey was held out of all drills Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury, and despite his return to all activity Friday, the Commanders tagged him as questionable for Week 4 action. Assuming he avoids the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll resume his backfield committee work with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez in the wake of Austin Ekeler's season-ending torn Achilles from Week 2.

Nwangwu (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Dolphins.

The Iowa State product downgraded from limited practice Thursday and Friday to a DNP on Saturday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday night's contest. If Nwangwu misses his third consecutive game due to a hamstring issue, Isaiah Davis is expected to assume the Jets' top kick returner position.

The Chargers elevated Vidal from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Najee Harris suffering a torn Achilles in the Chargers' Week 3 win over the Broncos, Vidal's elevation adds much-needed depth to the team's backfield. The 2024 sixth-round pick from Troy appeared in 10 games for Los Angeles in 2024, recording 217 yards and one touchdown on 48 offensive touches (43 carries and five receptions). He's expected to play behind Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins in a Week 4 matchup against the Giants.

Mims was elevated from the Titans' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Kalel Mullings (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday and Tyjae Spears (ankle) has missed Tennessee's first three contests this season, so Mims' elevation provides much needed backfield depth. He's expected to play behind both Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut in the Week 4 matchup against the Texans.

The Vikings elevated Akers from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.

With Aaron Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve, Akers made his season debut last Sunday against the Bengals as a practice-squad elevation, ranking third in snap share (12 percent) behind Jordan Mason (60 percent) and Zavier Scott (28 percent). All of Akers' five carries (for 19 yards) occurred in garbage time during the 48-10 win, so if the Week 4 matchup with Pittsburgh is a close one, he may not see the field outside of giving Mason and Scott a breather, barring injuries.
