Jaret Patterson RB | LAC
Jaret Patterson: Waived by Chargers
Patterson was waived by the Chargers on Monday.
With fellow RBs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Hassan Haskins (hamstring) having been activated from IR on Monday, Patterson was waived to free up a roster spot for the team's backfield additions. In four games with Los Angeles this season, Patterson has recorded 32 carries for 132 yards and a TD.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Activated from IR
The Chargers officially activated Haskins (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Haskins thus is on track to be available for his first game action since Week 7. Also in line to return to the Chargers backfield Monday is Omarion Hampton (ankle), who was activated off IR by the team as well. With Kimani Vidal -- who has been the team's RB1 in Hampton's absence -- still in the mix, Haskins is in line to play a depth role versus Philadelphia.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Activated from IR
The Chargers officially activated Hampton (ankle) from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Hampton, who was designated for return from IR on Nov. 25, is still listed as questionable for the contest, but the running back -- who practiced fully Friday and Saturday -- appears poised to see his first game action since suffering a left ankle fracture in Week 5. Official confirmation of his status will arrive once the Chargers' inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's available versus Philadelphia, Hampton will rejoin a backfield that's been led by Kimani Vidal, a context that could result in something of a Week 14 timeshare if Hampton is eased back in at all. In the five games Hampton played in before his injury, the 2025 first-rounder carried 66 times for 314 yards and two TDs and caught 20 of his 22 targets for 126 yards.

Zavier Scott RB | MIN
Vikings' Zavier Scott: Gets three carries in blowout win
Scott had three carries for 15 yards and one reception for five yards on his lone target in Sunday's 31-0 win over Washington.
Scott had three carries in a second consecutive game, but only because both were blowouts (in opposite directions). He had no carries or targets the four games before, as he's unlikely to see any action on offense if both Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason are healthy.

Christopher Brooks RB | GB
Packers' Chris Brooks: Limited to lone reception
Wilson was targeted once and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears.
Brooks got a season-high 29 snaps in Week 12 with starting running back Josh Jacobs unavailable, and he still logged 18 the following week with Jacobs back in action. However, he was on the field for only eight plays in Sunday's contest. Fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson received just as many, but he did get three touches compared to only the one for Brooks. Brooks should continue seeing a few snaps on passing downs, but Wilson remains the top option behind Jacobs, and both may fill only bit roles with the starter back at full speed.

Emanuel Wilson RB | GB
Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Workload remains limited
Wilson had three carries for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
It was not long ago that Wilson racked up 12 touches against the Giants and a whopping 30 touches against the Vikings with starting running back Josh Jacobs exiting the first contest due to injury and sitting out the second one altogether, but Jacobs handled the bulk of the backfield work in his Week 13 return, and he did the same Sunday. With Jacobs healthy and the Packers potentially playing must-win games the rest of the way, it's looking like Jacobs will be the bell cow while Wilson spells the starter as needed.

Keaton Mitchell RB | BAL
Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Considered day-to-day
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Mitchell (knee) is viewed as day-to-day.
Mitchell left Sunday's loss to the Steelers with a knee injury, but he appears to have avoided any sort of serious setback, with Harbaugh noting that the Ravens received "good news" on the running back's status. The 23-year-old's availability for Baltimore's Week 15 matchup with Cincinnati will hinge on what he's able to do in practices Tuesday through Thursday.

De'Von Achane RB | MIA
Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Practice this week TBD
Achane (ribs) could be held out of some practice sessions this week, according to C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald.
Achane underwent an MRI after sustaining a rib injury in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Although it was determined the running back is not dealing with a serious setback, head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Achane "needs treatment," which could affect his practice participation this week. Miami will face Pittsburgh on Monday night in Week 15, so while that will afford Achane more rest, it will also likely delay the next official update on the running back's status until Thursday.

LeQuint Allen RB | JAC
Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Two catches in win
Allen caught both his targets for eight yards and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards during Sunday's 36-19 win against the Colts.
The rookie seventh-round pick's 16 offensive snaps were his highest total since Week 10, though he didn't see much action until the fourth quarter of the blowout victory. No. 2 tailback Bhayshul Tuten had a reduced role after losing a fumble in the second quarter, but starter Travis Etienne soaked up most of those reps. Allen could step into the backup job if Tuten continues to have issues with ball security, but Allen appears locked into the No. 3 job for now.
