Singleton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Despite the fact that Tyjae Spears (knee) is inactive, Singleton will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest. It will be the rookie fifth-rounder's third missed game in a row, and his next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Bengals on Nov. 1. Tony Pollard will operate as the Titans' lead back for Week 7 while Julius Chestnut, Michael Carter and Kalel Mullings provide depth.

Estime (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Estime carried nine times for 19 yards and a touchdown in his 2026 debut during last week's win over the Ravens, but he'll be in street clothes Sunday while the Browns welcome Quinshon Judkins (ankle) and Dylan Sampson (knee) back from injuries. So long as Judkins, Sampson and Jaleel McLaughlin are all available for Cleveland, Estime could remain a fixture on the inactive list in the weeks to come.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

After an ankle injury kept Dillon from playing in a Week 6 win over the Eagles, he was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday and avoided an injury designation for Sunday's contest. Dillon will wind up on the inactive list for a second straight game, however, with Carolina moving forward with Trevor Etienne and Anthony Tyus as its backup options behind lead back Chuba Hubbard. Both Etienne and Tyus offer more utility on special teams than Dillon, who hadn't been offering much of an impact on offense with 17 carries for 43 yards (2.5 average) and two catches for three yards over his four appearances on the season.

Nwangwu (knee) is inactive against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Nwangwu drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday. However, the sixth-year pro has not been cleared by medical staff to play, so Isaiah Williams will operate as the primary returner on both punts and kickoffs. Nwangu's next opportunity to suit up is Week 8 against the Raiders on Nov. 1.

Allen will remain the Jets' No. 1 back for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins, as Breece Hall has been declared inactive for the contest.

With Hall unavailable for a fourth straight game Sunday, Allen will have a chance to build on the averages of 18.3 rush attempts, 84.3 rushing yards, 1.7 receptions and 11.3 receiving yards he's generated in the lead role over his teammate's first three absences. Despite their winless record, the Dolphins have been respectable defending the run, allowing 4.0 yards per carry to running backs, albeit while also conceding a 25-197-5 receiving line to the position.

Hall (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins.

Early Sunday reports indicated Hall was unlikely to play, and a fourth straight absence for the star running back is now official. With Hall sidelined again Sunday, Braelon Allen, who's averaged 18.3 carries, 84.3 rushing yards, 1.7 receptions and 11.3 receiving yards over the past three games while serving in the lead role, will once again helm the Jets' ground attack. Meanwhile, Hall will target a return to action in a Week 8 home matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.

Claiborne (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Claiborne is a healthy scratch for Week 7 due to the return of Jordan Mason. Mason has recovered from his thumb injury and is all set to resume his role as the backup running back to Aaron Jones, making Claiborne largely obsolete for the Vikings' offense.

Spears (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Browns.

Beginning during Week 3 prep, Spears has experienced practice restrictions most weeks due to first an ankle injury and currently a knee issue. He's been able to suit up for each of the last four games but played second fiddle to Tony Pollard out of the Titans backfield, turning eight carries and 11 catches (on as many targets) into 47 yards from scrimmage. Now that Spears is confirmed to be unavailable, though, the active RBs behind Pollard on Sunday are Julius Chestnut, Michael Carter and Kalel Mullings.

Jacobs is expected to start in his season debut Sunday against the Lions, but the extent of his role is likely to be decided upon as the game unfolds, according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.

While he spent the first six weeks of the season on the commissioner's exempt list, Jacobs was still allowed at the Green Bay facility and was able to stay on top of his conditioning, but he wasn't cleared to resume practicing with the team until Wednesday. After a full week of drills, the Packers were comfortable enough with activating Jacobs for Sunday, but the team plans to "keep an eye on him" and may not be ready to hand him his normal workload right off the bat. In the weeks to come, Jacobs shouldn't have much trouble reclaiming a three-down workhorse role, given the struggles of Green Bay's other running backs in generating production over the first six games of the season.

Donaldson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers in Paris, Jeff Nowak of The Big 870 New Orleans reports.

Donaldson sustained a shoulder injury during the first quarter of Sunday's game, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller will be the Saints' two remaining running backs the rest of the way in Donaldson's absence.
