Brooks (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The rookie running back out of BYU was able to log a week of limited practice sessions, and he has a chance to appear in his first game since Week 6 this Sunday. The Dolphins have yet to activate Brooks to their active roster though, which must be done in order for the 23-year-old to play in Week 13.

Elliott (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Elliott was limited in all three of New England's practices throughout the week. If he's able to play, he'll likely work in his customary role as the primary backup to Rhamondre Stevenson. Should Elliott sit, more opportunities could be available for JaMycal Hasty or receiving back Ty Montgomery. The Patriots will have a short week after Sunday's game, with a Thursday night trip to Pittsburgh on the docket Week 14.

Etienne (ribs) remained limited at practice Friday.

Etienne will have one more chance to upgrade to full participation and avoid the final injury report Saturday before the Jaguars host the Bengals on Monday Night Football. He briefly left the Week 12 win over Houston in the first half with what was deemed a chest injury at the time, but Etienne promptly returned and handled his usual heavy workload, finishing with 86 yards from scrimmage on 24 touches. If Etienne's volume is impacted Monday, D'Ernest Johnson and possibly Tank Bigsby would be in line for additional touches against a Bengals defense that's allowing 4.6 yards per carry.

Mason (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Mason has been restricted to special teams of late and isn't likely to get any playing time on offense in a crucial NFC showdown unless Christian McCaffrey or Elijah Mitchell suffers an injury. If Mason doesn't end up playing, it'll merely impact the 49ers' special teams units, where he's taken double-digit snaps every week this year.

Achane (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins made it official a few hours after coach Mike McDaniel announced Achane was ready to return. The rookie had a setback with his knee in his first game back from a stint on injured reserve, but the Dolphins don't seem too worried about a significant aggravation occurring. Achane figures to share backfield work with Raheem Mostert and possibly Jeff Wilson as well.

Abanikanda (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The rookie running back out of Pittsburgh seems to be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he was able to log a limited practice session Friday after recording consecutive DNPs to begin the Jets' week of practice. Abanikanda's injury status will be something to look out for, as Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also listed as questionable for Week 13's contest.

Mostert (ankle/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Mostert played through the same injury last week en route to a 20-89-2 rushing line and then managed limited practices this Thursday and Friday. The real threat to his value is the return of De'Von Achane (knee), who was a full participant Friday and also enters Sunday without an injury designation. Mostert is still worth starting in most leagues, as he was productive with Achane in the lineup earlier this season and is facing a Washington defense that ranks 20th in fantasy points allowed to RBs and 23rd in YPC allowed (4.3) to the position.

Cook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Cook popped up on the injury report after being limited in practice Friday, but coach Robert Saleh said earlier in the day that Cook "should be fine" for Sunday's game. Fellow running backs Breece Hall (hamstring) and Israel Abanikanda (illness) also are questionable, but Hall was a full participant in practice Friday, suggesting that he'll likely suit up and lead New York's backfield as usual. Cook hasn't had more than four touches in a game since Week 5.

Hall (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Friday but remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The Jets' top three running backs are all questionable, as Hall's joined by Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Israel Abanikanda (illness) on the injury report. Of the three, Hall is the only one that mustered a full practice Friday, suggesting he's in good position to handle his usual heavy workload as the Jets' lead back, barring a setback. Confirmation on Hall's availability will come approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's game kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Armah (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Armah will return to action in Week 13 after he sat out of Washington's last two games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 10 at Seattle. He figures to see around 5-to-10 offensive snaps as a lead blocker Sunday.
