  • Raheim Sanders RB | CLE

    Browns' Raheim Sanders: Records 12 touches in loss

    Sanders rushed 11 times for 42 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Quinshon Judkins exited the game in the second quarter with what was eventually diagnosed as a broken fibula and dislocated ankle, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Sanders finished as the team leader in rush attempts. Backfield mate Trayveon Williams operated more as a change-of-pace option, and although Judkins will naturally miss the final two games of the season, Sanders and Williams could be joined by Dylan Sampson, who logged a second straight absence due to calf and hand injuries, for a Week 17 home matchup against the Steelers next Sunday, which would muddy the outlook for all three backs to a degree.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Season-high 21 carries in win

    Jones (ankle) rushed 21 times for 85 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.

    Jones injured his ankle in the first quarter but came back into the game after fellow running back Jordan Mason (ankle) exited the game entirely. If Jones plays Thursday against the Lions, he could be in for another hefty workload for a Vikings offense that may be without starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand), who also left in the first half. Third-string running back Zavier Scott finished with 12 yards on three touches while Jones set season highs with 23 touches and 85 rushing yards. Jones has frequently dealt with in-game injuries this season, but he's handled double-digit touches in each of his last eight outings and reached 65 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Coach cites significant injury

    Coach Kevin Stefanski said that Judkins dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Judkins is in line to undergo surgery, while the running back is presumably slated to land on IR in the coming days. With his 2025 season over, Judkins will have the offseason to focus on his injury recovery, with a timetable on that front likely to emerge following his upcoming procedure. As for the Browns' backfield plans for the team's final two contests, Dylan Sampson (hand) would be next in line for carries next weekend against the Steelers if he's available after being inactive Sunday, with Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders also in the mix to see added work down the stretch. Additionally, Ahmani Marshall is a member of Cleveland's practice squad.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Reportedly sustains broken leg Sunday

    Judkins reportedly suffered a broken leg during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Per the report, Judkins is also being evaluated for a knee injury. We'll await further details via the Browns, but it appears as though the rookie back's 2025 season is done. If that's the case, Dylan Sampson (hand) would be next in line for carries, if he's available after being inactive Sunday, with Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders also in the backfield mix heading into Cleveland's final two games.

  • Kaleb Johnson RB | PIT

    Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Sitting out Week 16

    Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's clash against the Lions.

    Johnson has been getting very little work on offense with just eight snaps over his past three games. He'll be entirely out of the picture Sunday, representing his fifth missed contest this season. Pittsburgh has just two running backs -- Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell -- active against Detroit.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Leaves Sunday's game

    Vidal exited Sunday's game against the Cowboys with a neck injury.

    Before his exit, Vidal carried five times for 11 yards. While he's sidelined, Hassan Haskins is available to handle complementary RB touches behind Omarion Hampton.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Active versus Raiders

    Chubb (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Despite practicing fully both Thursday and Friday, Chubb -- who was inactive in Week 15 -- was deemed questionable for the contest, as was fellow RB Woody Marks (ankle), who was limited Friday. With Marks having been made inactive versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to have an opportunity to lead Houston's backfield in the absence of any setbacks, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who was productive while handling added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload, and Dare Ogunbowale is another candidate to mix in.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Inactive Sunday

    Marks (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Marks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but was able to return to a limited session Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable, a status that fellow RB Nick Chubb (ribs) also carried into the contest. With Marks sidelined and Chubb available versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to lead Houston's backfield, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who did well with added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload Sunday and Dare Ogunbowale is on hand to mix in. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Marks had planned to play, but the Texans felt it was best to rest their top RB this week, with an eye toward having him available next weekend against the Chargers.

  • Zamir White RB | LV

    Raiders' Zamir White: Not playing Week 16

    White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    White continues to be a healthy scratch for the Raiders this season, with the fourth-year running back not appearing in a regular-season game since Week 5 against the Colts. His next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 28, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert or Dylan Laube were to miss time.

  • Cody Schrader RB | DEN

    Broncos' Cody Schrader: Healthy scratch for Week 16

    Schrader (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars.

    Schrader was claimed off waivers by the Broncos on Monday, but he's not going to make his debut with the team Sunday. He's likely to see little, if any, work on a week-to-week basis while RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie are healthy and remain ahead of him on the RB depth chart.
