The Panthers signed Boone to their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

The 28-year-old veteran running back appeared in nine games for the Texans earlier this season, rushing five times for 23 scoreless yards and adding 7-40-0 receiving on nine targets as a deep reserve. He was let go by Houston last month and will be depth for the Panthers for the final game of the season.

Harris (knee) is listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Harris now has been impacted by a knee injury for five consecutive weeks, but he's still been able to suit up for each of the Steelers' past four games on his way to 73 touches for 281 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs. Meanwhile, fellow RB Jaylen Warren has managed 260 total yards and one score on the ground on 56 touches during that same span. Assuming Harris gets through the week unscathed and is able to play Saturday in Baltimore, a similar breakdown of reps between him and Warren likely will follow.

Moss (forearm) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.

Moss hasn't logged much on-field work and also missed the Colts' last two games due to a right forearm injury. For a second week in a row, though, he's being listed as limited on the first practice report of the week. During Week 17 prep, he ended it with a DNP before the team ruled him out for this past Sunday's game against the Raiders. As a result, Moss may need to maintain limited listings all of this week or even log a full session in order to put himself in a position to play in Saturday's season finale versus the Texans.

The Jets and Cook mutually agreed to part ways Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Since the NFL trade deadline has already passed, Cook is subject to waivers. Assuming he does clear, the veteran running back will try to land with a contender to close out the season after his 17 weeks in New York produced below-average results. He opened the year in a 1B role alongside Breece Hall, but Cook quickly faded from the mix and has seen double-digit touches only once since Week 3. Cook was active last Thursday night against the Browns but played zero snaps. He finishes his Jets tenure with 67 carries for 214 yards (3.2 YPC) and zero touchdowns, adding 15 catches for 78 yards on 20 targets. Perhaps a change of scenery, and a team with better blocking, will rejuvenate him.

Gordon had six carries for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

The veteran was elevated from the practice squad in Week 16 following Keaton Mitchell's season-ending injury. Gordon did not get in on the action against the 49ers but did factor into the box score in the blowout win over the Dolphins. He ended up seeing twice as many carries as Justice Hill, though it's worth noting that Gordon did not get into the game until garbage time. With Baltimore having the No.1 seed sewn up, it's possible that Gordon will have his largest role of the season in Saturday's season finale against the Steelers.

Perine rushed four times for 10 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.

Perine operated as the Broncos' No. 3 running back Sunday, playing just 17 of Denver's 69 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, fellow running backs Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin were on the field for 31 and 19 snaps, respectively. Perine's 26 total yards from scrimmage was his lowest total since Week 13, and it appears he has taken a backseat to the rookie McLaughlin in the backfield pecking order. With such limited opportunities, the veteran remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 18 matchup with the Raiders.

Spiller lost a yard on his lone carry and caught both of his targets for 10 yards in the 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

The Chargers struggled to get anything going on the ground as they averaged just 86 rushing yards on 24 carries across seven different ballcarriers. Spiller appears to have displaced Joshua Kelley as the team's No. 2 back behind Austin Ekeler considering Spiller played 12 snaps to Kelley's six, but the increase in playing time hasn't yielded much production for the 2022 fourth-round pick.

Kelley tallied two carries for two yards in the 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Both of Kelley's carries came in the third quarter in relief of Austin Ekeler, but overall the 2020 fourth-round pick played just six snaps. It's now back-to-back weeks Kelley has ceded a significant snap share to Isaiah Spiller (12 snaps) and it's to the point where the fourth-year back does not appear to be a lock to be on the Chargers' roster next season.

Sanders rushed two times for 10 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.

Sanders played only 13 offensive snaps, marking his second-lowest tally of the campaign. With limited production to boot, he approaches Sunday's season finale against the Buccaneers with his stock continuing a downward trend.

Abdullah rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.

Abdullah logged a season-high 30 offensive snaps with Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) sidelined for a third straight contest, but fill-in starter Zamir White earned 25 touches out of the backfield Sunday, notching 106 total yards in the process. The team figures to continue leaning on White in Week 18 against the Broncos if Jacobs remains out, capping Abdullah's projection.
