Demercado (toe) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against Los Angeles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Demercado is officially listed as questionable for Week 12, but he's expected to be available for Arizona. If so, he will stand to work as the top backup to veteran starter James Conner, while Keaontay Ingram and Michael Carter could also mix in. Official word on Demercado's status will come 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pierce (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus Jacksonville, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pierce has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury and came into this weekend deemed questionable to play, but he appears to have shown enough improvement to suit up against the Jaguars. That doesn't necessarily mean that he'll return to a lead-back role, however. In addition to Pierce potentially needing some time to settle back in following the injury and multi-week absence, Devin Singletary may have put himself in position to hold onto the starting job by racking up 262 rushing yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks. Pierce had been struggling prior to going down with the injury, averaging just 3.0 yards on 109 rushes and scoring just once through seven games.

Evans reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Evans was the third back behind Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson on Friday against the Jets with De'Von Achane (knee) sitting out. Evans played 13 snaps -- five on offense and eight on special teams -- and turned two carries into 16 yards.

White (knee) is expected to play Sunday against Indianapolis, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

White was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to a knee issue and was deemed questionable for the Week 12 clash versus the Colts. It appears that he'll be able to play in the contest, though it's possible that he could take on a lighter workload than usual depending on the severity of the injury. White has hovered around the 80-percent offensive snap count throughout the campaign, which has made the Bucs' backs behind him on the depth chart unplayable in fantasy. If White does end up being limited at all Sunday, Chase Edmonds would likely be the biggest benefactor, but that doesn't make Edmonds a recommended fantasy play.

The Giants activated Gray (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Gray was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and was able to log two consecutive full practice sessions to end the week. He's considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, and Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Gray is not expected to resume punt or kick return duties if he does suit up.

Foreman (ankle/shin) has drawn a doubtful designation ahead of Monday's matchup with the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Barring a positive turn of events in the next two days, Foreman appears to be trending toward missing Monday Night Football. Should that indeed be the case, Khalil Herbert would presumably draw lead-back responsibilities, while Roschon Johnson would be the No. 2 option in the backfield. Still, final confirmation on Foreman's status is unlikely to be confirmed until Monday.

The Chiefs elevated Perine to the active roster Saturday.

The move comes with Jerick McKinnon ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders with a groin injury. This will be the third time that Perine has been called up from the practice squad this season. In his last outing in Week 9 against the Dolphins, Perine played eight snaps (four each on offense and special teams) and gained one yard on one carry.

Williams (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Williams was trending in this direction, as he logged a full workload at practice throughout the week. The presumption is he will settle back in as the Rams' lead back, though coach Sean McVay indicated to Cameron DaSilva of USA Today he is mindful of taking some snaps off the second-year back's plate in order to ease him back into the swing of things. Thus, Royce Freeman is expected to see some meaningful work as the No. 2 option in Los Angeles' backfield. Williams had played at least 73 percent of the snaps in each of his first five games as a starter prior to landing on IR.

Bawden caught his lone target for six yards in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.

Bawden has caught both of his targets this season and scored a touchdown on his only rushing attempt. The fullback doesn't touch the ball enough to be relied upon in fantasy.

The Bengals activated Brown (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday.

Brown was nearing the end of his 21-day window to be activated before this move. He is now on the active roster, but it remains to be seen if he will be active for Sunday's tilt against the Steelers. When healthy, he is expected to provide depth at running back while also being an option to contribute on special teams.
