  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Active for MNF

    Homer (head) is active for Monday night's game against the Vikings.

    D'Andre Swift (groin) is active, and Darrynton Evans was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday night's game. With Roschon Johnson (concussion) inactive, Homer should still mainly be used on special teams after he played just seven offensive snaps last week in San Francisco in the same scenario.

  • Bears' Darrynton Evans: Elevated ahead of MNF

    The Bears elevated Evans from the practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    With Roschon Johnson (concussion) out and D'Andre Swift (groin) coming into Monday night hobbled, the Bears need some extra backfield depth. Evans carried the ball three times for three yards last week against San Francisco.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Active in Week 15

    Swift (groin) is listed as active Monday at Minnesota.

    Swift missed Thursday's walkthrough and Friday's practice due to a groin injury, but a limited session Saturday left the running back questionable for Week 15 action. While Swift will be able to suit up Monday, Roschon Johnson remains sidelined due to the concussion that he suffered Week 13, and Travis Homer and practice-squad call-up Darrynton Evans also are available to the Bears backfield. On the season, Swift is averaging 17.5 touches for 81.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five rushing TDs in his 13 appearances.

  • Kenny McIntosh RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Rushes three times in loss

    McIntosh rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.

    With Kenneth Walker (calf/ankle) out of the lineup, McIntosh served as Zach Chabonnet's primary backup while George Holani generated 10 yards on three carries as the No. 3 back. It's unclear if Walker will play in Week 16 versus the Vikings, but McIntosh's fantasy value is negligible regardless.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: 60 total yards against Steelers

    Gainwell rushed seven times for 20 yards and caught three passes for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

    Saquon Barkley was banged up for part of the game, missing the entire second quarter before returning to action, which allowed Gainwell to see a season-high 31 offensive snaps. The result was Gainwell's second-highest yardage total of the season, though he failed to find the end zone with any of his 10 touches. He's scored just one touchdown all year.

  • Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Estimated as DNP on Monday

    McLaughlin (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    McLaughlin exited Sunday's win over the Colts early with the injury. Prior to leaving, McLaughlin rushed seven times for 21 yards and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in the pass game. If McLaughlin can't play Thursday night against the Chargers, rookie Audric Estime would be in line for more work alongside Javonte Williams out of Denver's backfield.

  • Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Does little with increased volume

    Elliot gained 30 rushing yards on nine carries and caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

    The veteran running back saw double-digit touches for the first time since Week 8, while his 41 yards from scrimmage were his highest total since Week 1. Elliott still took a clear back seat to Rico Dowdle, who ran for a career-high 149 yards on 25 totes. Even with the Cowboys' running game finding another gear in recent weeks due to improved play from the offensive line, Elliott doesn't seem likely to take advantage.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Confirmed out for season

    Head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Montgomery will undergo season-ending surgery to address an MCL sprain in his right knee, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Montgomery appeared to sustain the injury on a three-yard run midway through the second quarter of Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. The Lions never ruled him out for the game, but he played limited snaps thereafter, finishing the game with season-low 35 total yards on nine touches (five carries, four receptions). The loss of Montgomery for the rest of the regular season and playoffs likely sets up Jahmyr Gibbs to take on a workhorse role out of the backfield. Behind Gibbs on the depth chart are special-teams ace Craig Reynolds and rookie Sione Vaki, both of whom could carve out larger secondary roles out of the backfield after logging just 12 and seven touches, respectively, through Detroit's first 14 games. Montgomery wraps up his second season in Detroit with 185 carries for 775 yards (4.2 YPC) and 12 touchdowns to go with 36 catches for 341 yards on 38 targets. He'll likely be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Nursing adductor injury

    Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Monday that Kamara (groin) has been diagnosed with an adductor injury after initial medical imaging results, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Kamara was forced out of New Orleans' 20-19 loss against Washington in Week 15 in the second half, and it's possible his groin injury could impact his availability for Monday night's road matchup against Green Bay on Dec. 23. If Kamara were to miss any time, second-year pro Kendre Miller and veteran Jamaal Williams would be positioned as the lead options in the Saints backfield. Further details on Kamara's health may not be made available until later during Week 16 prep, with New Orleans' first official practice scheduled to occur Thursday.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Not expected to need surgery

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday he doesn't expect Chubb to require surgery to address the broken left foot he suffered during Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Stefanski indicated that Chubb is done for the year but that he's facing a "shorter-term recovery time" than he did last offseason, while rehabbing from a severe knee injury, Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland reports. Nonetheless, this marks the second year in a row in which Chubb has had his season end early due to injury, and he'll begin his offseason focused on rehabbing. The soon-to-be 29-year-old is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year in March, making his future with Cleveland uncertain. For the remainder of the 2024 campaign, beginning Sunday at Cincinnati, Jerome Ford looks positioned to operate as the No. 1 running back for the Browns, with D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong also available as depth options.
