  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Finds end zone twice

    Henry rushed the ball 17 times for 34 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 28-27 win over Miami. He added one reception on two targets for 17 yards.

    The Titans were surprisingly in a neutral game script for much of the matchup, which allowed Henry to maintain the majority of the work out of the team's backfield. He was bottled up on the ground for the entire contest -- his longest rush went for only six yards -- but he managed to find the end zone from one and three yards away. After tallying only four touchdowns across his first 10 games of the season, Henry has now scored six times in the last three contests. He'll face a mediocre Texans' run defense Week 15.

  • Chase Edmonds RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Season-high usage in win

    Edmonds rushed eight times for 40 yards and secured both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Edmonds' final numbers are likely indicative of the type of opportunity that many, including the running back himself, figured he'd see on a weekly basis once he was acclimated to the Buccaneers offense. Whether his season-high carry, rushing yardage and receiving yardage totals Sunday are the first sign of a growing role or simply an outlier remains to be seen, but Edmonds draws a friendly matchup on paper against the Packers in Week 15.

  • Jeremy McNichols: Reverts to practice squad

    McNichols reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

    In his 2023 debut, McNichols played six snaps on special teams without recording a stat in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks. He'll now wait for his next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster.

  • Jakob Johnson RB | HOU

    Jakob Johnson: Back to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

    Johnson saw playing time on both offense and special teams in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, and he managed to record a tackle while in punt coverage. The 28-year-old is still eligible to be elevated two more times this season.

  • Deneric Prince: Back to practice squad

    Prince reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.

    Despite the absence of Isiah Pacheco (shoulder), Prince was unable to crack the backfield rotation of Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon. Prince played just five snaps on special teams and none on offense. He'll wait for another opportunity to be elevated, which could happen Week 15 against the Patriots if Pacheco sits out for a second straight game.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Tyler Goodson: Heads back to practice squad

    The Colts reverted Goodson to the practice squad Monday.

    Goodson was elevated for the second straight week with Jonathan Taylor (thumb) out again. Goodson played six snaps on offense and brought in his lone target for minus-2 yards. Goodson is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time this season.

  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Tyler Badie: Heads back to practice squad

    Badie reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday.

    Badie was elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers but was inactive for the contest. He'll now wait for another opportunity to be elevated to the active roster.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Vikings' Kene Nwangwu: Gets two carries in win

    Nwangwu had two carries for three yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas. He also had one kickoff return for 31 yards.

    Nwangwu played three snaps on offense as he got time as the backup running back with Alexander Mattison suffering a sprained ankle. Nwangwu could get increased playing time this week as the backup to Ty Chandler if Mattison is out.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Colts' Trey Sermon: Gets three carries in loss

    Sermon had three carries for 13 yards in Sunday's loss at Cinncinati.

    Sermon played just three snaps on offense while Tyler Goodson played on six snaps. It's not clear Sermon would be the lead back if both Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor (thumb) were out.

  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Packers' AJ Dillon: Set to start again Monday

    Dillon will start at running back for the Packers on Monday at the Giants with Aaron Jones (knee) inactive, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    For a third week in a row, Dillon dealt with a groin injury that capped his activity level Thursday and Friday, but he logged a full session Saturday and sidestepped a designation for Week 14. He'll again lead the Packers backfield Monday with Jones missing a third straight game, but it should be noted that the latter made some notable progress in his recovery from a sprained MCL by managing limited practices this week. While Green Bay awaits Jones' return to the lineup, Dillon will look to build upon the 32 carries for 121 yards and four catches (on four targets) for 52 yards that he's managed the past two contests.
