Mullings (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Mullings suffered an ankle injury during the Titans' Week 1 loss to the Broncos, which prevented him from playing against the Rams in Week 2. The rookie sixth-rounder was a limited participant in practice all of last week, and he has done enough to be cleared to play in Sunday's AFC south clash. Mullings will see most of his snaps on special teams but could work in rotation with Julius Chestnut out of the backfield behind starter Tony Pollard.

Goodson is active for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Goodson missed each of the Colts' first two games of the season with an elbow injury. It's not clear how much he'll play against the Titans, as Jonathan Taylor got every carry (25) among Colts running backs last week and played 93 percent of the snaps on offense. Still, Goodson could be worked in on a few passing downs when Taylor needs a rest.

Pierce is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

With Pierce and British Brooks healthy scratches Sunday, Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks are available to work behind Nick Chubb versus Jacksonville. Pierce is off the fantasy lineup radar until or unless injuries hit Houston's backfield.

Judkins is on track to serve as the Browns' starting running back Sunday against the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After being added back to the Browns' 53-man roster for Week 2 after sitting out the Week 1 loss to the Bengals due to his late signing, Judkins technically started in last Sunday's 41-17 loss to Baltimore, but he still finished second among Cleveland running backs in snaps. Jerome Ford (35 snaps) led the way while Judkins (20) narrowly outpaced Dylan Sampson (17), but Judkins made his mark during his time on the field, carrying 10 times for 61 yards while adding three catches for 10 yards on three targets. After a strong professional debut followed by a trio of full practices this week, the rookie second-round pick will draw his second straight start Sunday, but this time he could supplant Ford as the lead option in the Browns' three-man backfield committee. While Judkins should be in line for an uptick in touches, he could have difficulty finding much open running room versus a Packers defense that held the Lions to 2.1 yards per carry in Week 1 and the Commanders to 2.7 YPC in Week 2.

The Seahawks elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Seahawks are likely to be without Zach Charbonnet (foot), who is officially listed as doubtful, for Sunday's game against New Orleans. That will leave George Holani as the second back on the depth chart, while Wright could be active and contribute primarily on special teams.

The Broncos elevated Prentice from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Prentice has been active for the team's first two games of the season after also being elevated from the practice squad. He's played primarily on special teams but has also mixed in for a few offensive snaps and has one reception for four yards.

Ali (concussion) isn't listed on Baltimore's injury report ahead of Monday's matchup versus Detroit.

Ali suffered a concussion during last week's win over the Browns but has now cleared the league's concussion protocol, making him eligible to return to the field. He should continue to serve as the team's top kick returner as well as its No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

The Steelers elevated Sermon from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Sermon will get his first chance to appear in a game this season after having joined Pittsburgh's practice squad back in August. He will likely serve as the team's No. 4 running back and could see playing time on special teams as well.

The Vikings elevated Akers from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Akers presumably will be a part of the Vikings' plans in the backfield without the services of Aaron Jones (hamstring), who will be on injured reserve for at least the next four contests. Jordan Mason is expected to lead the way for Minnesota, but Akers' experience in coach Kevin O'Connell's system suggests he's likely to see at least some touches in his season debut, especially because his only competition for those reps is undrafted rookie Zavier Scott. In 12 games for the Vikings last season, Akers notched 64 carries for 297 yards (4.6 YPC) and one touchdown , plus 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 52 yards and two more TDs.

Swift (quadriceps) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Swift handled 35 combined touches through the first two games of the season and then was limited in each practice of Week 3 prep due to the quad injury. Now that he's in line to suit up Sunday, he'll take on his typical role as the Bears' No. 1 back, assuming he's confirmed to be active about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
