Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Record-filled effort in upset win
Robinson rushed 22 times for 195 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of eight targets for 34 yards and another score in the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.
It was truly a night for the ages for Robinson, who provided some luster to a non-playoff season for the Falcons with a career-best effort in the penultimate game of the campaign. Not only was Robinson's rushing yardage total a new single-game career high, the 93-yard touchdown scamper late in the first half that was integral in getting him there was also the longest run in franchise history. Robinson also extended his streak of recording at least five catches to three games while tallying a receiving TD for the second consecutive contest. Additionally, his production on the ground leaves him just 12 yards short of eclipsing the 1,456 rushing yards he posted last season as the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Saints approaches Sunday.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Sustains ankle injury
Corum went to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Falcons due to a right ankle injury and is questionable to return, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Corum limped to the sideline following a two-yard carry late in the second quarter and was evaluated by medical staff on the sideline before leaving the field. Kyren Williams will take on an even larger role in Corum's absence, and Ronnie Rivers should be in the mix for backfield snaps if Corum is unable to return.

Tahj Brooks RB | CIN
Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Three mop-up carries
Brooks carried the ball three times for 10 yards and had one catch for nine yards late in the Bengals' win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Brooks didn't come into the game until late, with Joe Flacco at the helm and the Bengals protecting a four-score lead. He's had scant work all season as the Bengals' third running back.

Cam Akers RB | SEA
Cam Akers: Returns to practice squad
Akers reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Akers was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers, logging five snaps on special teams, including two kickoff returns for 54 yards. The running back could be back with the active roster for Saturday's final regular-season contest against the 49ers.

Dante Miller RB | NYG
Dante Miller: Reverts to practice squad
Miller reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Miller was elevated to the Giants' active roster Saturday for the first time this season, but he ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's win against the Raiders. The Giants' Week 18 tilt against the Cowboys is Miller's last opportunity to appear in a game during the 2025 regular season.

Chris Collier RB | LV
Chris Collier: Returns to practice squad
Collier reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Collier was elevated to the Raiders' active roster Saturday for the first time this season. However, he was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Raiders despite Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee) being inactive. Collier has not appeared in a regular-season game this year, and his last opportunity to do so is Week 18 against the Chiefs.

Samaje Perine RB | CIN
Bengals' Samaje Perine: Scores again in blowout win
Perine had three carries for five yards and a goal-line touchdown in the Bengals' rout of the Cardinals in Week 17. He also caught a pass for eight yards.
Perine played his lowest share of offensive snaps (31 percent) since Week 4, not counting when he got hurt Week 9 early in the loss to the Bears. Perine has been playing through an ankle injury, so it makes a certain amount of sense that he's playing fewer snaps.

Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: Two carries in narrow victory
Shipley rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 13-12 victory over the Bills.
Shipley didn't play a large role in the Week 17 victory, though it was his largest since Week 10, as he'd totalled just three catches and zero rushing attempts in the previous six weeks. With seeding still to play for in Week 18, Shipley's role may not expand much against the Commanders in the regular-season finale.
-
Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Three touches in tight win
Bigsby rushed twice for seven yards and caught one pass for two yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.
Bigsby's only big offensive outputs these season have come when the Eagles had a multi-score lead and could rest their starters late. In a tight contest Sunday, he saw the field for just five offensive snaps. The Eagles could still improve from the third to the second seed in the final week of the regular season, meaning Bigsby's role could remain small for the season finale against the Commanders.

Josh Williams RB | TB
Josh Williams: Let go by Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers waived Williams on Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Williams served a six-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy. His suspension was lifted Dec. 22, and rather than cut another player on the 53-man roster to make room for Williams, the Buccaneers have opted to let go of the LSU product. If he goes unclaimed off waivers, Williams will look to sign with a team in need of backfield depth and a returner on special teams.
