Mitchell rushed eight times for 33 yards and brought in his only target for eight yards in the Ravens' 34-20 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.

The rookie back garnered seven more carries than fellow complementary option Justice Hill, further cementing the fact he appears to have clearly moved past the latter for the No. 2 running back role. Mitchell, an undrafted rookie, gained the majority of his yardage on a 21-yard run, but his explosiveness and versatility figure to continue affording him a solid allotment of snaps in a Week 12 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 26.

Edwards rushed 12 times for 62 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for eight yards in the Ravens' 34-20 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.

Edwards remained the Ravens' top back in the big divisional win, although rookie Keaton Mitchell appears to have clearly moved into the No. 2 role after logging eight carries to Justice Hill's one. Edwards' touchdown barrage shows no sign of abating, as he crossed the goal line on three-yard scoring runs in the first and fourth quarter to push his season total to a career-high 10. Edwards has eight of those scores in the last four games alone, keeping his fantasy stock robust despite what is typically a minimal passing game role heading into a Week 12 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 26.

Mixon rushed 16 times for 69 yards and brought in all five targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 34-20 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Mixon was the most consistently productive member of a notably short-handed offense, posting his third-highest rushing yardage total of the season while also scoring his first receiving touchdown since Week 9 of last season on a four-yard grab just past the midway point of the second quarter. That throw came from Joe Burrow, who suffered a wrist injury on the play that forced him from the contest for the remainder of the night. With Burrow's status for a Week 12 contest against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 26 now in doubt, Mixon's already pivotal role in Cincinnati's offense could expand further if the team's star quarterback remains sidelined for that game.

Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

The Packers listed Jones as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, and he upheld that activity level as the team took part in an actual practice one day later. The hamstring issue that has lingered since Week 1 is to blame, but he's now been able to play through it in four consecutive games and even handled a normal 41 touches over the last two outings. Still, Jones' status should be watched as the week goes on to make sure he'll be available Sunday against the Chargers.

Jackson cleared league concussion protocol Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Jackson sat out of Sunday's game at Dallas as he dealt with a concussion, but it now looks like he'll be available for Week 11. In his first and only appearance with the Giants thus far, he took one carry for two yards.

Demercado (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

After managing no on-field work for two weeks and missing a pair of games as a result of a toe injury, Demercado has been able to put together back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 11 prep. Friday's practice report could be telling for his chances to return Sunday at Houston, but even if Demercado is cleared to play in that contest, he won't be much more than a change-of-pace option with the Cardinals' lead runner James Conner back in the mix.

Mattison (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Mattison was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to the concussion that knocked him out of this past Sunday's win against the Saints. One day later, he displayed some progress through the protocol for head injuries with a capped session. Mattison thus has only one more chance to get back to all activity this week, and he'll have the added step of needing to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday at Denver. If Mattison is sidelined this weekend, Ty Chandler, Kene Nwangwu and potentially practice-squad member Myles Gaskin will be the beneficiaries out of the Vikings backfield.

Edwards-Helaire (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

CEH missed the Week 9 game against the Dolphins in Germany, but the bye week was enough time to get over whatever illness he was dealing with. He merely handles the backfield scraps for Kansas City behind Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon.

Mostert (ankle/knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Despite having the benefit of a Week 10 bye, Mostert's reps are still being managed heading into Sunday's matchup with the Raiders while he tends to a pair of injuries. Mostert has now been limited in both of the Dolphins' first two practices, but if he upgrades to full activity Friday, he should be cleared to enter the weekend without an injury designation. If available Sunday, Mostert will presumably handle his usual starting role, though he could cede more snaps and touches than he had in previous weeks with De'Von Achane (knee) seemingly tracking toward a return from injured reserve this week.

Barkley (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Barkley maintained his activity level from one day prior, which seemingly is the result of the running back tweaking his previously sprained right ankle in the late moments of this past Sunday's defeat in Dallas. He's been the sole bright spot in an offense lacking on much firepower, especially with undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito (shoulder) at quarterback. Over his last five games, Barkley has racked up 124 touches for 518 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's contest at Washington.
