Rivers (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday's walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

After he was designated for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Rivers was able to handle every rep presented to him, perhaps a good sign that he'll rejoin the active roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Saints. Even if he does, though, Kyren Williams has been dominating the Rams backfield this season, when healthy, and Royce Freeman also gets his fair share of touches on a weekly basis. As for Rivers, his season tallies include 13 carries for 57 yards and four catches (on four targets) for 18 yards in six appearances.

Patrick signed with the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Patrick was last with the Titans and was cut from their practice squad Oct. 24. The Florida State product will provide some organizational depth for New York at running back, but he'll likely need an injury to occur to find his way to the 53-man roster.

Harris (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Harris managed a knee injury the previous two weeks, but he still was active the last two contests, producing 62 rushing yards on 24 carries and three catches on three targets for 19 yards in losses to the Patriots and Colts. In those same games, fellow running back Jaylen Warren racked up 26 touches for 108 yards from scrimmage, so even if Harris is able to play through his knee issue Saturday against the Bengals, he likely will continue to split backfield reps with Warren.

The Ravens placed Mitchell (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

The move is merely procedural after the Ravens confirmed Monday that Mitchell sustained a torn ACL in his left knee this past Sunday at Jacksonville. With Mitchell's season over and J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) also on IR, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will handle most of the backfield reps moving forward, though Melvin Gordon was signed off the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Johnson (shoulder) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

Johnson made a brief exit from this past Sunday's win against the Cowboys due to a shoulder injury, and he then visited the X-ray room afterward. He earned a season-high 29 percent snap share in that game and ended up notching nine carries for 54 yards and one catch (on one target) for four yards. Even if he's able to play Saturday at the Chargers, Johnson won't do much more than spell starting running back James Cook, who has reeled off five straight games with 100-plus yards from scrimmage.

The Colts signed Goodson off their practice squad Tuesday.

Having used the maximum three standard elevations on Goodson ahead of the last three contests, Indianapolis needed to add him to the active roster in order for him to be available for game days moving forward. With the status of both Jonathan Taylor (thumb) and Zack Moss (shoulder) up in the air as the team prepares for Sunday's visit to Atlanta, Goodson could see a significant role in the backfield along with Trey Sermon. After Moss went down in the second quarter of this past Saturday's win against the Steelers, Goodson turned 13 touches into 79 yards from scrimmage as he split work with Sermon (17 carries, 88 yards).

The Ravens signed Funk to their practice squad Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

With rookie Keaton Mitchell now out for the rest of the season with a ruptured ACL, Baltimore felt it necessary to add some depth at running back ahead of Week 16. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill are currently the only healthy halfbacks on the Ravens' active roster, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Funk get elevated from the practice squad as soon as Monday.

The Rams designated Rivers (knee) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.

Prior to spraining his PCL in Week 6, Rivers showed some flashes in the first six games of the campaign, averaging 4.4 yards on his 13 carries and also hauling in all four targets for 18 yards. The Rams play the Saints on Thursday, so he doesn't have much time to put himself in a position to return to action this week. Having said that, Tuesday's practice report will reveal how much work Rivers was able to handle.

Edmonds carried three times for 13 yards and did not see a target in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Edmonds' usage had spiked in Week 14, when the versatile veteran had logged 10 total touches in a high-scoring win over the Falcons. However, with Sunday's downturn, which included his first game without a target since Week 2, Edmonds' outlook is once again cloudy, making him a risky fantasy option for what remains of the season.

Walker rushed 19 times for 86 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 26 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles.

Walker looked liked his old self after shaking off the rust in his return from injury against San Francisco in Week 14. The 23-year-old teamed up with fill-in starting quarterback Drew Lock to score the pair of touchdowns that helped the Seahawks upset the visiting Eagles on the national stage. Walker finished with 22 touches to backup Zach Charbonnet's five, reinforcing the former's status as the lead back. Expect Walker to continue leading Seattle's backfield in a road matchup against the Titans on Sunday.
