  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Clear of injury designation for MNF

    Achane (ribs) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 game against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

    Miami coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Saturday that he expected Achane to play Monday, and the star running back's lack of an injury designation on the team's final practice report makes that expectation a reality. In fact, Achane was able to practice in full Saturday after being limited the previous two days, so he may not have any restrictions (aside from possibly wearing some extra padding to protect his ribs). Achane could be primed for a big game against a Steelers defense that has given up the ninth-most rushing yards to running backs through 13 games this season and will be without star player T.J. Watt (lung).

  • Myles Gaskin RB | SEA

    Myles Gaskin: Cut loose by Seattle

    Gaskin was cut from Seattle's practice squad Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Gaskin has bounced around Seattle for the last 10 weeks, with his only game appearance coming in Week 13. He's a candidate to re-join the Seahawks' practice squad or find another opportunity around the league.

  • Seahawks' Velus Jones: Elevated for third straight

    The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    This marks Jones' third consecutive elevation. He's worked almost exclusively on special teams, though he did earn four carries in Seattle's blowout win in Week 14.

  • Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Signs contract with Patriots

    New England signed Johnson to the active roster Saturday.

    Johnson was initially elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Friday, but he'll get a spot on the 53-man roster after running back Terrell Jennings (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Jennings will now be sidelined for at least the next four games, thus keeping him out for at least the remainder of the regular season. In his absence, Johnson will serve as the Patriots' No. 3 running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

  • Brittain Brown RB | CHI

    Bears' Brittain Brown: Elevated for Sunday's game

    Chicago elevated Brown from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Brown has bounced back and forth between the Bears' active roster and practice squad this season, appearing in two games Week 9 and Week 12. This is the 28-year-old's second practice-squad elevation this season, as the Bears need extra depth behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai after Travis Homer (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game. Brown will likely contribute primarily on special teams versus Cleveland.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Expected to play vs. Tennessee

    Although he was added to the 49ers' injury report Saturday, McCaffrey (back) is expected to play against the Titans on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    McCaffrey popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a back issue, but at this time, the injury isn't considered severe enough for him to miss Sunday's contest. If McCaffrey suffers a setback or operates on a snap count, then Brian Robinson, Isaac Guerendo and Jordan James would be in line for more work out of the 49ers' backfield. McCaffrey's official status may not be announced until the 49ers submit their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Officially placed on IR

    The Patriots placed Jennings (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.

    As expected, Jennings will go on injured reserve due to a concussion, and with just four games left in the regular season, he won't be eligible to play for the Patriots until the postseason. D'Ernest Johnson was signed off the practice squad to New England's active roster in a corresponding move, and he'll serve as the team's RB3 behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson to close out the regular season.

  • Ty Chandler RB | MIN

    Vikings' Ty Chandler: Won't play Sunday

    Chandler (knee) was ruled out Saturday for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Chandler has been sidelined since Week 1 while dealing with a knee injury, and he was designated to return from IR on Dec. 3. The 27-year-old was a full participant during practice this week, but he'll remain out for at least one more game. Chandler will have to be restored to the active roster by Dec. 24, or else he'll revert to IR for the remainder of the season. His next opportunity to play will be the Week 16 contest versus the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 21.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Now questionable for Week 15

    McCaffrey has been added to the 49ers' injury report due to a back injury, and he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    McCaffrey was able to shake off an illness during Week 15 prep, but the veteran running back appears to be working through a new back issue. The injury puts McCaffrey in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game, and his official status may not be known until the 49ers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If McCaffrey is unable to play, then Brian Robinson would likely take over as the 49ers' lead back while Isaac Guerendo and Jordan James provide backfield depth.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Dealing with another injury

    Lloyd, who was already dealing with a calf issue, sustained a hamstring injury in practice leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Lloyd didn't practice Friday after picking up this hamstring injury and has already been ruled out for the Week 15 contest. He has one week remaining to be activated to the Packers' active roster before reverting to injured reserve for the remainder of the season, leaving his availability for the rest of the year in doubt. Lloyd, a 2024 third-round pick from USC, has played in just one game since entering the league due to a variety of injury problems. While he remains sidelined Sunday, Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong are the only running backs on Green Bay's active roster without an injury designation.
