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.

Edwards-Helaire is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

With Edwards-Helaire once again a healthy scratch for Kansas City, Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are slated to handle the Chiefs' Week 15 backfield duties.

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.

Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's clash against Kansas City.

Foreman hasn't played since Week 8, as all of Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong are healthy and ahead of him on the running back depth chart. The veteran tailback's next chance to suit up will come next Sunday, Dec. 22 against Cincinnati.

Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

After sitting out last Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins due to the knee injury, Hall will make his return to action in Week 15. The Jets held Hall out of their first two practices of the week while he continued to manage the injury, but he turned in a full session Friday before being listed as questionable heading into the weekend. Despite carrying the designation, Hall had been expected to play all along, though the extent of his role is difficult to project coming off the injury. While he should start, Hall may not handle the 70-plus-percent snap shares that have been typical for him this season and could instead cede more work than usual to backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis.

Irving (back/hip), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Irving played a season-low 10 offensive snaps last Sunday in a win over Las Vegas, and head coach Todd Bowles explained after the contest that the rookie's back tightened up during the victory. The Oregon product didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday this week, but he logged a limited session Friday, and that looks like it may be enough for him to take the field against Los Angeles. If Irving is in fact cleared when the Buccaneers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll likely serve as the lead option on the ground as part of a backfield timeshare with Rachaad White, who should see plenty of involvement in a change-of-pace capacity.

The Jets placed Nwangwu (hand) on injured reserve Saturday, Ethan Greenberg and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.

Nwangwu is dealing with a hand injury, and with New York having just four games remaining on the regular-season slate and already eliminated from playoff contention, his campaign has come to an end. The fourth-year tailback will finish his first season with the Jets with no offensive touches over two games, but he made an impact as a returner, taking a kickoff 99 yards to paydirt in the Week 13 loss to Seattle. Xavier Gipson will likely take over as the Jets' lead kick returner with Nwangwu now sidelined.

Pollard, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Cincinnati due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pollard entered the weekend deemed questionable after missing the Titans' first two practices of the week before upgrading to limited participation Friday. The veteran running back looks like he'll be able to play through the ankle injury and avoid missing his first game of the season, though official word on his status won't arrive until Tennessee posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Pollard needs 63 rushing yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark on the ground for the third consecutive campaign.

Homer (head) is available and will suit up for Monday's game against the Vikings.

Considering that D'Andre Swift (groin) is questionable for Monday and Roschon Johnson (concussion) is out, Homer could be in line for a bigger role out of the Bears' backfield. The six-year veteran has appeared in nine games this season, tallying three carries for 16 yards and three catches (on three targets) for 11 yards.

Holani was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Holani was active for the Week 14 contest against the Cardinals, catching his lone target for minus-1 yard, and he should add depth in the backfield once again Sunday. Holani is slated to serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh once again, as Kenneth Walker (calf) is doubtful and unlikely to suit up Sunday.
