Julius Chestnut RB | TEN
Titans' Julius Chestnut: Good to go vs. Bolts
Chestnut (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Chestnut was limited for the Titans' final two practices of the week due to a foot injury, but it's not severe enough to prevent him from suiting up Sunday. Chestnut will be Tennessee's No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Works as backup again
Singletary rushed the ball eight times for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one reception on one target for five yards.
Singletary remained the clear backup to Tyrone Tracy, though his eight carries were his highest mark since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. He was fairly effective with his opportunity, ripping off significant gains of nine and 14 yards. Tracy lost a key fumble in the loss but was otherwise impressive, so Singletary is likely to continue to serve in a limited role moving forward.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Hurts ankle Sunday
Bigsby exited Sunday's game against the Vikings due to an ankle injury, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Bigsby was shaken up after a three-yard run midway through the first quarter, requiring assistance from trainers to get to the sideline and into the medical tent. If he's unable to return, he'll be contained to a single touch in Week 10. Travis Etienne should lead the Jaguars backfield in the meantime, with D'Ernest Johnson also on hand for RB reps.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Loses crucial fumble
Tracy rushed the ball 18 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one reception on two targets for one yard.
Tracy maintained his lead in the Giants' backfield and recorded his third 100-yard rushing game of the season. The performance was highlighted by an impressive 32-yard touchdown scamper, during which Tracy cut back and streaked through a hole in the middle of the field to reach the end zone for the third time in the campaign. Unfortunately for him, his production was overshadowed by a lost fumble early in overtime that set up the game-winning field goal for Carolina. Despite the temporary setback, Tracy should remain the team's lead back in Week 12 -- following a bye -- against the Bucs.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Massive workload in OT win
Hubbard rushed 28 times for 153 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of six targets for 16 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Fresh off inking a four-year extension Thursday, Hubbard wasted no time earning his keep with career highs in rush attempts and rushing yards. Hubbard also recorded his sixth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run late in the third quarter, and he was able to work through an injury scare without missing any time after limping off the field following a lost fumble in Carolina territory just before the midway point of the fourth quarter. Hubbard now has three 100-yard games on the season and will have a Week 11 bye to rest up before a Week 12 home showdown with the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Jamaal Williams RB | NO
Saints' Jamaal Williams: Not playing Sunday
Williams (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Williams sat out the Week 9 loss to Carolina, but he appeared to be tracking toward a return this weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday. However, he took a step backward with no participation in Friday's practice and will now miss a second straight contest. With Williams sidelined once again, Jordan Mims is left as the lone available backup running back behind Alvin Kamara.

D'Ernest Johnson RB | NE
Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Cleared to play Sunday
Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Johnson was added to the Jaguars' injury report Thursday and was a limited participant in the team's final two practices of the week, but the hamstring issue won't keep him from playing Sunday. He'll be available as a third option out of the backfield behind Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby, with most of Johnson's usage likely to come on passing downs. Etienne made his return from a two-game absence in last week's loss to the Eagles, and Johnson consequently saw his snap share drop to 22 percent, his lowest since Week 5.

Jase McClellan RB | TB
Falcons' Jase McClellan: Inactive for Week 10
McClellan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
After making his NFL regular-season debut against the Seahawks in Week 7, McClellan has been a healthy scratch for three straight games. The rookie remains behind Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams on the Falcons' running back depth chart.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire RB | KC
Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Inactive Sunday
Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Edwards-Helaire, who wasn't on the Chiefs' Week 10 injury report, will thus wait at least another week before making his regular-season debut. Versus Denver, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are Kansas City's backfield options.
