Chiefs running back Knile Davis did almost nothing during the Week 6 home game against the Raiders. Davis did manage to fumble during the game, however.

Davis caught one pass for minus-1 yards and fumbled on the play. It was recovered. Davis has rushed twice in his last three games for the Chiefs and is not a major member of the offense as it stands heading into Week 7 against Houston.

Buccaneers running back Doug Martin failed to top 100 all-purpose yards on Sunday during the Week 6 home loss to the Eagles. 

Martin rushed 16 times in the game for 67 yards and did not score. He averaged 4.2 yards per carry and had a long run of 24 yards. 

Martin added four receptions for 24 yards and caught all four targets. Martin has one 100-yard rushing game under his belt this season and hasn't scored a touchdown since the first week of the year. The Buccaneers play at Atlanta Week 7. 

The Cardinals listed these players as inactive for the game against the 49ers: quarterback Ryan Lindley, running back Ryan Williams, linebackers Kevin Minter (hamstring) and Kenny Demens (hamstring), offensive tackle Bobby Massie, tight end D.C. Jefferson and defensive end Ronald Talley.

49ers running back LaMichael James and cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha are healthy scratches against the Cardinals, reports the Sacramento Bee. James had been returning kicks but not getting many carries. Asomugha has lost the No. 3 cornerback job to Tramaine Brock.

Patriots running back Brandon Bolden, who missed Week 5 against the Bengals because of a knee injury, got the green light and was officially listed as active for Sunday's Week 6 showdown at home against the Saints. Bolden has 94 yards on 13 carries this season.

Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman is active Week 6 against the Jaguars.

Hillman has been dealing with an ankle injury, but it didn't stop him from participating in practice this week. 

The Broncos have made QB Zac Dysert, RB C.J. Anderson, CB Tony Carter, LB Wesley Woodyard, OL John Moffitt, T Winston Justice and DE Robert Ayers inactive for Week 6 against the Jaguars. 

Ayers and Woodyard were listed as doubtful entering the week. Ayers has a shoulder injury. Woodyard is dealing with a neck issue. 

Ravens running back Bernard Pierce, who was questionable with a thigh injury, was cleared to play Week 6 vs. Green Bay. Pierce was limited in practice all week.

Oakland's running back duo of Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings are actually both healthy enough to play in the Week 6 game at Kansas City Sunday. With both backs threatening to miss the game due to hamstring injuries, it turned out that neither showed up on the team's official inactives sheet.

Jennings filled in as the featured back for McFadden after the latter left the Week 4 game against Washington and again last Sunday against San Diego, when McFadden was inactive. Now the duo will be available at the same time and that means McFadden could go back to featuring with Jennings backing him up. That said, it is unclear how the Raiders expect to use each back heading into Sunday's contest.

The trio of Panthers listed as doubtful on the injury report for Week 6 against the Vikings was unable to play in Sunday's game. Running back Kenjon Barner (foot), defensive lineman Dwan Edwards (hamstring) and defensive back Robert Lester (hamstring) are all inactive.
