Tony Pollard RB | TEN
Titans' Tony Pollard: Returns to Sunday's game
Pollard (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Pollard was managing an ankle issue ahead of Week 15 action, so it's possible that he aggravated the injury. However, he's back in the Titans' backfield mix after having previously exited Sunday's contest.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Feeling improved, should play
Irving (back/hip) is feeling much better than last week, even though he remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."
Irving was listed as questionable ahead of last Sunday's win over the Raiders and ultimately suited up, but he was limited to just 10 snaps before exiting the game early when his back tightened up. He's followed a similar practice progression this week compared to last, but his condition has reportedly improved. Though Irving should be cleared to play in advance of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he will be difficult to trust in the fantasy playoffs while he faces a tough road matchup.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Returns to inactive list
Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
After he was inactive for a stretch of seven straight games from Weeks 5 through 12, Wilson had suited up for both of Miami's last two contests. He played just five snaps on offense between those two games, carrying one time for four yards and gaining seven yards on his lone reception. With Raheem Mostert (hip) back in action this Sunday after a one-game absence, Wilson will return to the inactive list while the Dolphins opt to have only three running backs dress for the Week 15 game.

Keaton Mitchell RB | BAL
Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Remains inactive
Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Mitchell returned from a torn ACL in Week 10 but played only three total offensive snaps in three games thereafter. He's now a healthy scratch for the second straight week, allowing Rasheen Ali to suit up for the third time on the campaign.

D'Ernest Johnson RB | NE
Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Healthy scratch again Week 15
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Johnson will be inactive for the third straight game since Jacksonville's Week 12 bye. He played in each of the Jaguars' first 11 contests of the campaign but has fallen behind Keilan Robinson on the depth chart since Robinson returned from IR in mid-November.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Inactive Sunday

Tony Pollard RB | TEN
Titans' Tony Pollard: Ready to face Cincinnati
Pollard (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Pollard was officially listed as questionable for the matchup after his only practice participation was a limited session Friday. However, he'll suit up and presumably lead the Tennessee backfield in a matchup against a Cincinnati defensive line that has struggled in the absence of Sheldon Rankins (illness). Meanwhile, Pollard has topped 100 yards from scrimmage in three of the Titans' last six games.
