Adam Prentice FB | DEN
Saints' Adam Prentice: Elevated ahead of Week 13
Prentice was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Prentice is joining New Orleans' active roster for the second consecutive week. The 26-year-old fullback has appeared in seven games for the Saints this season, recording 10 total yards on two touches. He's also been a key special-teamer for New Orleans, playing 70 snaps on special teams and logging two total tackles.

James Robinson RB | NO
Packers' James Robinson: Joins active roster
The Packers elevated Robinson to their active roster Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Green Bay will be without both Aaron Jones (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) in Week 13, so Robinson's elevation will ensure depth at running back behind AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor. Robinson's most recent action came in 2022 with the Jets and Jaguars, when he logged 476 total yards on 121 touches.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Questionable, expected to play
Etienne (ribs) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bengals, but head coach Doug Pederson is expecting the running back to play, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
The injury designation leaves open the possibility Etienne could miss the primetime matchup, but Pederson seemed relatively confident following Saturday's practice the third-year back would be available. Expect the backup, D'Ernest Johnson, to still be a factor in the game plan, particularly if the Jaguars jump out to a commanding lead early on. Official confirmation regarding Etienne's status will arrive upon the release of Jacksonville's inactives ahead of the team's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff Monday.

Deneric Prince RB | NE
Chiefs' Deneric Prince: Elevated ahead of Sunday's contest
The Chiefs elevated Prince to their active roster Saturday.
The rookie running back's elevation likely comes in response to Jerick McKinnon (groin) being ruled out for Sunday night's affair. Prince has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he's been with Kansas City's practice squad since the end of August. He'll more than likely back up Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the Chiefs' Week 13 outing.

Jerick McKinnon RB | KC
Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Not playing Sunday night
McKinnon (groin) was downgraded to out Saturday and will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Sunday's absence will make it two straight for McKinnon, who at least managed to practice in limited fashion this week. A fantasy darling for many last season, the multi-talented back has rarely been used in 2023, tallying just 13 carries for 30 yards and a paltry 19 receptions for 155 yards in 10 contests to date. Expect Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Deneric Prince to spell starter Isiah Pacheco on occasion.

Tyler Goodson RB | ATL
Colts' Tyler Goodson: Elevated to active roster
The Colts elevated Goodson to their active roster Saturday.
Goodson is set to make his season debut on the Colts' active roster. With Jonathan Taylor (thumb) sidelined, he will provide depth in the backfield behind Zack Moss and Trey Sermon. The Iowa product also figures to be a candidate for special teams snaps.

Christopher Brooks RB | GB
Dolphins' Chris Brooks: Will not return Week 13
Brooks (ankle) will not return from injured reserve Sunday against the Commanders, as the Dolphins have downgraded him to out, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Brooks was designated to return from IR earlier in the week, which opened a 21-day window for him to be activated. With the Dolphins opting to err on the side of caution, his next opportunity to be activated will come in the Week 14 tilt against the Titans. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since Week 6 due to an ankle injury.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: On track to play Monday
Etienne (ribs) is expected play Monday against the Bengals according to head coach Doug Pederson, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
The Jaguars haven't released their final injury report of the week, but suffice to say it seems as if the star back will be available for the primetime contest. Since the team's Week 9 bye, Etienne has struggled to produce yards, as he's averaged 3.3 yards per carry on 43 attempts while failing to reach the end zone in each of the last three outings.

Kareem Hunt RB | KC
Browns' Kareem Hunt: Cleared for Sunday's game
Hunt (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams after practicing fully Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hunt opened the week with an absence Wednesday, but he returned to a limited session Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. With Hunt officially in the clear for Week 13 action, he'll continue to be part of a 1-2 backfield combo that also features fellow RB Jerome Ford. Through nine games in that role, Hunt has averaged a modest 9.9 carries and 31.8 rushing yards, but the six rushing scores he's notched in that span offers a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar.

Kendre Miller RB | NO
Saints' Kendre Miller: Won't play vs. Lions
Miller (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Miller will miss his third straight game in Week 13 due to an ankle sprain he sustained in Week 9 versus the Bears. In his absence, Jamaal Williams will continue to be New Orleans' primary change-of-pace option at tailback behind Alvin Kamara.
