Gainwell rushed once for one yard and caught his only target for four yards in Monday's 21-17 win over the Chiefs.

Gainwell played just 17 of the Eagles' 56 offensive snaps, and his two touches and five total yards accounted for his lowest outputs of the season. He's clearly behind D'Andre Swift in the pecking order at running back, and he'll continue to remain in a limited role barring an injury to Swift.

Murray carried 10 times for 35 yards in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.

Murray played 24 of the Bills' 76 offensive snaps Sunday, trailing lead back James Cook (35) and placing him ahead of Ty Johnson (16). Despite seeing 10 touches, the veteran Murray was unable to get much going in the contest. Meanwhile, both Cook and Johnson were able to find the end zone as receivers. It's possible that Johnson could continue to see his role grow in Buffalo's offense, which would further limit Murray's upside as the team's No. 2 back. Nonetheless, the 33-year-old will look to hang on as the team's top backup when the Bills visit the Eagles in Week 12. Leonard Fournette also lurks on the practice squad as a potential challenger to Murray for the top backup role.

Kelley rushed six times for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Packers.

Kelley played 29 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps Sunday for the second straight week in relief of starting running back Austin Ekeler. The 26-year-old has seen his efficiency decrease in recent weeks, averaging a dismal 2.2 yards per carry in Week 11. Kelley should continue to hold value as an insurance policy if Ekeler were to miss time, yet the veteran will likely continue to see limited opportunities when the Chargers host the Ravens in Week 12.

Ingram was active but didn't play in Sunday's 31-26 loss in Houston.

With fellow running back Emari Demercado (toe) still sidelined Sunday, James Conner paced the Cardinals backfield with 16 touches and 42 of 61 offensive snaps. Aside from Conner, Tony Jones handled two touches and 16 snaps on offense, while newcomer Michael Carter was a healthy scratch. Since receiving a season-high 12 touches in Week 6, Ingram has 14 combined over the last five games. Considering his recent usage, Ingram appears to be on the outside looking in for any sort of meaningful role in Arizona's offense.

Ward was signed to the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Ward was waived by the team Saturday, but he's back just a few days later. The running back was with the active roster in Week 10, playing 15 special-teams snaps in the team's loss to the Buccaneers. He'll now wait for his next chance to join the Titans on gameday.

Evans signed to the Dolphins' practice squad Tuesday.

Evans was waived by the Bears on Thursday, but he's now found a new home just a handful of days later. With Salvon Ahmed (foot) done for the season, Evans will provide Miami with an additional option at running back.

Johnson was signed to the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday.

Johnson is back with the Raiders after being waived by the team Friday. The fullback doesn't have a clear path to playing time, but he appears to be sticking around Las Vegas for the time being.

Walker (oblique) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The Seahawks did get in some on-field work Tuesday, but Walker wasn't one of those who took part as he tends to a strained oblique that he suffered Sunday against the Rams. Another absence Wednesday may spur Seattle to rule out the running back ahead of Thursday's game versus the 49ers. Assuming Walker is inactive for Week 12, Zach Charbonnet would be the team's top running back, with potentially all of DeeJay Dallas (shoulder), Kenny McIntosh and practice-squad member Bryant Koback available behind him.

Ahmed (foot) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2023 season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Ahmed suffered a foot injury this past week and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, but it now appears the injury is a season-ending one. With De'Von Achane (knee) banged up, Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson could operate as the team's primary options in the backfield Friday versus the Jets.

Wilson (shoulder) was a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

Wilson's absence marked his second straight day being listed as sidelined while nursing a shoulder issue. With Aaron Jones (knee) doubtful and AJ Dillon (groin) limited, Wilson could be in line for an extended role in the backfield should he be healthy enough to suit up Thursday.
