Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Expected to play Sunday
Irving (hamstring) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Irving managed a limited practice Friday after sitting out Thursday's practice. He faces an Eagles run defense that has allowed 5.2 yards per carry this season, though they were more efficient in Week 3 against the Saints. Teammate Rachaad White (illness) is also questionable but is expected to play as well.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Plans to play in Week 4
Kamara (hip/ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Kamara was able to log back-to-back limited practices to end the week, and he now plans on playing in Week 4 against Atlanta. The running back will likely go through team warmups ahead of the matchup at 1:00 p.m. ET, and an official decision on his availability will come thereafter.

J.J. Taylor RB | HOU
Texans' J.J. Taylor: Elevated for Week 4
The Texans elevated Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Taylor will be elevated for a second-straight week due to Dameon Pierce (hamstring) being ruled out and Joe Mixon (ankle) listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Taylor played 13 snaps (10 on offense, three on special teams) in Week 3 against the Vikings and finished with one carry for three yards along with two catches for zero yards.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Listed as questionable
Mostert (chest) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Titans, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Mostert was a limited participant in practice all week, so it stands to reason the veteran could make a return after missing the past two games. It's worth noting the 32-year-old had a similar practice cadence last week, but there's been a bit more optimism this go-around about his playing time status. Expect to hear more information from one of the national reporters before the primetime contest starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Chris Collier RB | LV
Ravens' Chris Collier: Elevated from practice squad
The Ravens elevated Collier from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Collier will be elevated for a second straight week to serve as Baltimore's No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Collier played just one snap on special teams in Week 3 against the Cowboys, and he'll likely be limited to that kind of role for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | JAC
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Joins active roster
The Commanders elevated Rodriguez to their active roster Saturday.
Rodriguez's elevation ensures depth at running back due to Austin Ekeler (concussion) already being ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. Expect the second-year pro to play behind both Brian Robinson and Jeremy McNichols in Week 4.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Added to injury report with illness
White was added to the injury report for Sunday's game against the Eagles with an illness and is now questionable for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Buccaneers didn't elevate an additional running back from the practice squad, which would be consequential considering rookie running back Bucky Irving is also questionable with a hamstring injury. Expect more information regarding both backs' status to come well before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Relegated to backup
Charbonnet is expected to operate as the team's backup running back with the return of Kenneth Walker (oblique), who does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Charbonnet was a true workhorse over the past two weeks, tallying 32 carries and eight receptions (on nine targets) for a total of 176 yards and three touchdowns, but that workload figures to diminish significantly with Walker now back in the fold. When both backs were healthy Week 1, Charbonnet played 33 percent of the offensive snaps, averaging just 1.5 yards per carry off his eight rushes.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Set for Monday
Walker does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Lions, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Walker practiced in limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, so it seemed like the electric tailback was likely primed to play after missing the previous two games. He'll return against a tough Lions defense that's allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards this season.
