Kamara sustained a groin injury during Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Kamara brushed off an illness in order to suit up Week 15, but he paid a visit to the sideline tent in the second half before the Saints announced a new health concern for the running back. At the point of his departure, he had notched five carries for 12 yards and four catches (on five targets) for 58 yards and one touchdown. Kendre Miller likely will lead New Orleans' backfield in Kamara's stead, while veteran Jamaal Williams also is on hand for RB reps.

Chubb won't return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a foot injury.

Before being forced out of the contest, Chubb carried nine times for 41 yards. While Chubb is sidelined, Jerome Ford is next in line for the Browns' Week 15 carries.

Irving (back/hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Irving was able to get in only a limited Friday practice this past week after exiting the Week 14 win over the Raiders in the first half with his back injury, but the rookie has validated the optimism about his availability that had been expressed over the course of the weekend. Assuming Irving is operating without limitations Sunday, he should retake the lead role in the Buccaneers backfield after logging 25 carries in his most recent non-injury-shortened game Week 13 against the Panthers, albeit with teammate Rachaad White likely retaining a solid complementary role as well.

Allen exited Sunday's game against the Jaguars after sustaining a back injury.

Before his departure, Allen carried twice for five yards. While he is sidelined, Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis are available to handle the Jets' backfield duties versus Jacksonville.

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.

Pollard was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bengals with an ankle injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Pollard carried seven times for 27 yards and a TD. In his absence, Tyjae Spears is next in line to handle the Titans' Week 15 carries.

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.

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.

Ali is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Ali will be active for the Ravens' second straight matchup after being a healthy scratch for 11 of the team's first 12 games. He has played exclusively on special teams, which likely will continue Sunday.

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.
