Warren (back) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, barring a pregame setback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After sitting out practice Thursday, Warren was able to get in a limited session Friday before taking a designation into the weekend. In a big AFC North divisional tilt, Warren sounds like he's going to be able to play and help spell starter Najee Harris out of Pittsburgh's backfield. Warren is averaging 9.9 touches per game this season but has yet to score a touchdown.

Luepke (calf) did not practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Texans, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Luepke has been unable to practice all week due to a calf injury, and while he hasn't been ruled out for Monday's game, it's unlikely he will suit up. The Cowboys will likely turn to tight ends Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford to pick up additional run-blocking duties if Luepke is indeed sidelined.

Robinson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Robinson started the regular season on injured reserve due to a toe injury he suffered in late July. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Oct. 30, and while he was able to practice in full all week, he'll be held out for one more game. The Jaguars are on a bye for Week 12, so Robinson's next chance to suit up will be Week 13 against the Texans on Sunday, Dec. 1.

The Steelers signed Ward to the 53-man roster Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Ward appeared in four games for Pittsburgh earlier this season, rushing five times for 22 yards. He'll provide depth and insurance for the Steelers behind Najee Harris and Cordarrelle Patterson should Jaylen Warren (back) -- who is listed as questionable -- be unable to play Sunday against Baltimore.

Pierce (groin) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Cowboys.

This was to be expected after Pierce practiced fully Friday. The backup running back will be poised to retain his role behind one of the better backs in the NFL this year, Joe Mixon.

Shipley did not see the field for an offensive snap in Thursday's 26-18 win over the Commanders.

Shipley saw the field for 11 offensive snaps and rushed nine times late in a 28-point win over Dallas in Week 10, but with the score close throughout the Week 11 win against Washington, there was no room for third-stringers like Shipley to take the field. He's carried the ball a total of 19 times through 10 games this season.

Gainwell rushed four times for 43 yards and added a six-yard reception in Thursday's 26-18 win over Washington.

Gainwell has averaged 4.9 touches per game this season, with a total of 42 rushes and seven receptions through 10 games, so his workload Thursday was fairly typical. He tends to see more work if the Eagles can cruise through the fourth quarter with a comfortable lead, as has been the case in multiple games this season, but in close contests, his workload is typical for a backup.

The Bengals waived Milton on Friday.

Milton was signed to the Bengals' active roster Nov. 2 and appeared in the team's Week 9 win over the Raiders before being dropped Friday. The Georgia product has yet to record a stat this season, with just five offensive snaps, and he could end up on the Bengals' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Edwards (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Bengals after practicing fully Friday.

Edwards was on the field for 15 snaps and logged 10 carries for 55 yards in his return from a four-game absence in this past Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans. While the running back was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, his return to a full session Friday paves the way for him to be available this weekend. Though Edwards isn't a factor in the Chargers' passing attack, he figures to earn enough carries alongside J.K. Dobbins (39 snaps, 15 carries in Week 10) going forward to merit attention in deeper fantasy formats.

McCaffrey (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

McCaffrey took 89 percent of snaps and 19 touches last week in his season debut, making it through the win over Tampa Bay without any report of a setback or discomfort. The 49ers may continue to limit his practice reps but apparently want McCaffrey in his usual, near-every-down role on Sundays. He shouldn't lack for snaps or touches in an NFC West showdown this weekend.
