With Ahmad Bradshaw (leg) out for the season, the Colts started unheralded running back Dan Herron against the Jaguars. He acquitted himself well, rushing 12 times for 65 yards (5.4 ypc) and catching all five of his targets for 31 yards. He did lose a fumble.

Trent Richardson saw a similar workload on the ground, rushing 13 times for 42 yards (3.2 ypc). It was Richardson who got the goal-line carry in the third quarter, and he punched in a 1-yard touchdown, his third score this season. Richardson was targeted once without a catch.

They figure to split the workload again Week 13 against the Redskins.

Vikings wideout Cordarrelle Patterson was able to return again Week 12 against the Packers.

Patterson is dealing with ankle/knee injuries. He missed time earlier in the contest due to an ankle injury, but was able to return. After being evaluated for a second time during the contest, Patterson was able to return to the game.

The following players have been listed as inactive for the Broncos in Week 12 against the Dolphins: Montee Ball, Julius Thomas, Ronnie Hillman, Tony Carter, Chris Clark, Michael Schofield and Marvin Austin.

The Cardinals have listed the following players as inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks: wide Larry Fitzgerald (knee), defensive tackles Ed Stinson (toe) and Alameda Ta’amu, running back Kerwynn Williams, tight end Matthew Mulligan and linebackers Desmond Bishop and Glenn Carson.

Fitzgerald's absence breaks a streak of 110 consecutive games played after he was listed as questionable. Stinson had previously been ruled out with his toe injury.

Vikings wideout Cordarrelle Patterson was able to return Week 12 against the Packers.

Patterson was spotted on the sideline getting his ankles taped, but managed to return to the game quickly. The team never issued an injury report on Patterson, so it's assumed he's good to go for the remainder of the contest. 

As expected, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (ankle), wide receiver Julian Edelman (thigh) and running back Jonas Gray (not injury related) were ruled as active for Week 12. All three players entered Sunday as probable. Gray is the only player of the three that isn't expected to start.

Buccaneers running back Doug Martin is active Week 12 against the Bears.

Martin has been dealing with an ankle injury. He's missed the past three games due to the issue. 

The team will also have Charles Sims and Alterraun Verner. Both players came into the contest listed as questionable. Sims has an ankle injury. Verner is dealing with a hamstring issue. 

Colts running back Trent Richardson (illness) and defensive tackle Arthur Jones (ankle) are active as expected for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after being listed as probable. Richardson could get a heavy workload with Ahmad Bradshaw (leg) out for the season.

The Vikings will have both Greg Jennings and Jerick McKinnon Week 12 against the Packers.

Jennings came into the contest listed as questionable with a rib injury. He'll give it a go against his former team. McKinnon was listed as probable with a back injury. 

The team will also have Anthony Barr, Scott Crichton, Everson Griffen, Michael Harris, Captain Munnerlyn, Xavier Rhodes and Kyle Rudolph. All seven came into the game listed as probable, and were always expected to play.

Both Matt Kalil and Jarius Wright will also attempt to play. They were both listed as questionable. Kalil has a knee injury, while Wright is dealing with a hamstring issue. 

The Vikings have listed RB Matt Asiata, FB Zach Line, LB Michael Mauti, LB Brandon Watts, G David Yankey, G Austin Wentworth and DT Sharrif Floyd as inactive Week 12 against the Packers. 

Asiata was the only player ruled out prior to Sunday. He's dealing with a concussion. Floyd was listed as questionable. He has a knee issue. The other five players listed are healthy scratches.
