Matlock (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

Matlock was activated off injured reserve Saturday, so despite carrying a questionable designation, most assumed he would be back on the field after sitting out the first four games of the 2026 campaign.

Tuten carried the ball 22 times for 72 yards and caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.

The second-year back set new season highs in touches and scrimmage yards as he reached 90 in the latter category for a third straight game. Tuten has yet to have a truly huge performance this season, but he's been very steady so far as the Jaguars' No. 1 RB, collecting 349 rushing yards and two TDs on 4.3 yards per carry while adding a 9-78-0 line on 10 targets through five games. Tuten hasn't gotten into the end zone in two straight games, a streak he'll look to snap in Week 6 against the Texans.

The Texans ruled out Montgomery (groin) for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Houston will be left with Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale as its available options out of the backfield for the rest of the afternoon after Montgomery was unable to return following his departure from the game midway through the second quarter. Prior to exiting, Montgomery gained 11 yards on five carries and went without a target.

Montgomery suffered a groin injury during Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Prior to his exit in the middle of the second quarter, Montgomery had five carries for 11 yards. While Montgomery is considered questionable to return after walking slowly to the locker room, Woody Marks will take on lead-back duties for the Texans in the meantime.

Henderson suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

After a carry in the second quarter in which he endured an awkward tackle going out of bounds, Henderson limped to the locker room. The Patriots soon considered him questionable to return. Rhamondre Stevenson likely will take on the bulk of New England's backfield reps for as long as Henderson is sidelined, though Corey Kiner also is available for RB snaps.

Jones (knee) returned to Sunday's contest in New Orleans, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Jones spent some time out of the Vikings' Week 5 matchup in the first half due to a left knee injury, but he seemingly will attempt to play through the pain Sunday. If Jones needs to cede any reps to the rest of the team's backfield, DeeJay Dallas and rookie Demond Claiborne are on hand to spell the veteran.

Jones departed Sunday's contest at New Orleans due to a knee injury.

Jones came up limping after a lost fumble in the red zone late in the first quarter and went to the medical tent before the Vikings deemed him questionable to return. DeeJay Dallas likely will take on No. 1 RB duties for as long as Jones is sidelined, with rookie Demond Claiborne also on hand for reps out of Minnesota's backfield.

Jones suffered an apparent left leg injury during Sunday's game in New Orleans, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Late in the first quarter, Jones lost a fumble in the red zone and then limped off the field with the Vikings' training staff to get checked out in the sideline tent. For as long as Jones is out of the contest, DeeJay Dallas and rookie Demond Claiborne represent the available running backs for Minnesota's offense.

Singleton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Singleton had just three carries during the Titans' Week 4 loss to the Ravens. The fifth-round rookie will not suit up for Sunday's divisional contest against the Texans and looks to have fallen out of favor with the offense.

Allen (coach's decision) is listed as a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Allen was claimed by Miami off the waivers Friday and will be unavailable for the team in Week 5. Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright (foot) are expected to lead the Dolphins' backfield.
