  • Ameer Abdullah RB | IND

    Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Elevated from practice squad

    The Colts elevated Abdullah from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Cardinals.

    Abdullah will serve as the team's No. 3 running back for the second straight week as Tyler Goodson remains sidelined due to a groin injury. Abdullah carried the ball two times for six yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Raiders while playing on both offense and special teams. The team will be able to elevate the 32-year-old just one more time following Sunday's matchup.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Status in question for Monday

    Rodriguez (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Bears.

    Rodriguez officially was listed as a DNP on all three of the Commanders' Week 6 practice reports due to a calf injury, but the team still is giving him a chance to suit up Monday. Even if he's available, though, he'll be a complementary option at best along with Jeremy McNichols behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Such a role has amounted to 23 carries for 105 yards and no touchdowns and zero targets in three contests this season.

  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Miles Sanders: Moves to injured reserve

    The Cowboys placed Sanders (knee/ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

    After Executive Vice President Stephen Jones announced Friday that Sanders was slated for season-ending knee surgery, this move was inevitable. Moving forward, rookie Jaydon Blue and fullback Hunter Luepke will be the options out of the Cowboys backfield behind starter Javonte Williams.

  • Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Set for another start

    White will serve as the Buccaneers' No. 1 RB on Sunday against the 49ers with Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) ruled out for that contest, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

    With Irving inactive for this past Sunday's 38-35 win at Seattle, White dominated offensive snap share (80 percent) and touches (18) among Tampa Bay running backs en route to 71 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs. Meanwhile, Sean Tucker (21 percent, six touches) and Josh Williams (three percent, no touches) were distant second and third options, respectively. Irving didn't practice this week, so beyond Week 6, White could be in line for additional elevated workloads until the former is able to get back on the practice field and prove the health of his left foot and shoulder.

  • Sione Vaki RB | DET

    Lions' Sione Vaki: Won't play against Kansas City

    Vaki (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Vaki has not been able to practice since suffering a groin injury in Week 3 against the Ravens. He'll miss a third consecutive game due to the injury, and the 2024 fourth-rounder's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against Tampa Bay on Monday, Oct. 20. Craig Reynolds and Jacob Saylors will continue to serve as the Lions' depth backfield options behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Clear for Week 6

    Tuten (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks.

    Tuten was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a lingering shoulder injury and then had a cap on his reps both Thursday and Friday. However, it won't stop him from continuing to serve as the Jaguars' No. 2 RB behind starter Travis Etienne. Such a role has amounted to 26 touches for 128 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs for Tuten over the last four games.

  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Miles Sanders: Set for season-ending knee surgery

    Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said Friday that Sanders will undergo season-ending knee surgery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Sanders initially was forced out Week 4 against the Packers due to an ankle injury and then didn't suit up this past Sunday at the Jets due to listed knee and ankle issues. It appears the knee is the greater concern for Sanders following Jones' announcement, and the running back will finish the 2025 campaign with 20 carries for 117 yards and one touchdown and eight catches (on eight targets) for 30 yards in parts of four games. Jaydon Blue will step into the No. 2 role behind starting RB Javonte Williams moving forward.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Officially moved to IR

    Gibson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

    This move was expected after Gibson was diagnosed with a torn ACL following New England's Week 5 win over the Bills. He'll finish the campaign with 25 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown, as well as two catches for six yards on three targets. Terrell Jennings likely will be elevated from the practice squad to provide depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson against the Saints on Sunday, while Jashaun Corbin is another backfield option on the practice squad.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Listed as DNP on Friday

    Rodriguez (calf) is listed as a non-participant on Friday's practice estimate.

    Rodriguez didn't practice Thursday and apparently wouldn't have partaken Friday if the Commanders had held a practice. A return Saturday could still give him a chance to play Monday against the Bears, though all signs point to Jacory Croskey-Merritt leading Washington's backfield this week.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Bumps up depth chart with Sanders out

    Blue will serve as the Cowboys' No. 2 RB behind starter Javonte Williams moving forward after Miles Sanders (knee/ankle) was ruled out for the rest of the season, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Sanders initially hurt his ankle just before halftime of Dallas' Week 4 tie with the Packers and then was listed with knee and ankle injuries ahead of being inactive this past Sunday at the Jets. A limited practice this Wednesday indicates Sanders was making a last-ditch effort to prove his health, but Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said Friday that he'll miss the remainder of the campaign. Blue made his pro debut Week 5 and turned four carries into seven yards on 11 offensive snaps, so he likely will be contained to scraps behind the workhorse that has been Williams for the foreseeable future.
