Williams finished the 2022 campaign with 22 rushing attempts for 109 yards and a touchdown across 17 appearances. He also caught 13 of 14 targets for 61 yards and complied 605 return yards.

Williams was drafted by the Falcons in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft as a defensive back and return man, but the Boise State product was converted to running back ahead of the 2022 campaign. With Damien Williams out of the picture after Week 1 due to a rib injury, Williams quickly worked his way up the running back depth chart and saw a decent role during the campaign given his circumstances. However, Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson dominated the backfield work, which left limited opportunities for Williams and Caleb Huntley. Williams has two years remaining on his rookie contract and figures to have a solid shot at a roster spot next year due to his return abilities, but he'll also have a chance to carve out a larger offensive role following a full offseason at his new position.

Edwards (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Edwards suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Bengals and now is in danger of missing a wild-card round matchup with the same team seven days later. The Ravens may also be missing quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) and perhaps even backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder), potentially setting up J.K. Dobbins to be the focal point of an undermanned offense.

Mostert (thumb) isn't practicing Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Mostert's absence to begin the week of practice was fully expected after head coach Mike McDaniel said the running back suffered a "significant break" to his thumb in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 11-6 win over the Jets. Backfield mate Jeff Wilson could see a larger share of the workload than usual even if Mostert ends up playing, as the thumb fracture will impact his ability to catch passes at the very least.

Haskins carried two times for three yards and hauled in both of his targets for 13 yards in Saturday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.

in the Titans' season-ending loss, Haskins served as the top complement to lead back Derrick Henry, playing 15 of the Titans' 72 snaps on offense (21 percent). The fourth-round pick out of Michigan finishes his rookie season with 25 carries for 93 yards and 11 receptions for 57 yards over 15 games.

Ahmed took his only carry for seven yards during Sunday's 11-6 win over the Jets.

Ahmed handled his usual rotational role Week 18, but depending on the status of Raheem Mostert (finger) coming off a fractured thumb, Ahmed could be in line for increased opportunities during the wild-card playoff matchup against the Bills. The Dolphins will be without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in Buffalo, so the team could lean more on the running game than usual.

Doaks signed a reserve/future contract with the Texans on Tuesday.

Doaks will return to Houston's organization again in 2023 after spending the 2022 campaign on and off of the Texans' practice squad. The 24-year-old has yet to make his NFL debut after getting selected by the Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft and he'll look to carve out a role on the Texans this offseason.

Dillon rushed nine times for 33 yards and failed to reel in any of his three targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Lions.

The 24-year-old running back was in a near-even split in playing time with Aaron Jones, as the two backs played 33 and 31 of the Packers' 60 offensive snaps, respectively. Dillon will enter the final year of his rookie contract in the 2023, and with Jones already on the books, a timeshare arrangement between the two will likely remain in place for another season. Dillon finished the season with 770 yards and seven touchdowns while adding 28 catches for 206 yards.

Mason rushed eight times for 28 yards and wasn't targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 38-13 win over Arizona.

The 49ers welcomed back Elijah Mitchell (knee) from injured reserve, but Mason still received 14 snaps on offense in the regular-season finale. The Georgia Tech product did an admirable job backing up Christian McCaffrey in Mitchell's absence this season, racking up 258 yards on 6.0 yards per carry in limited action over the course of his rookie campaign. Mason will likely see his role limited to special-teams duty in the wild-card round matchup with Seattle this weekend with San Francisco's backfield now at full strength.

Goodson signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers on Tuesday.

Goodson joined the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa this past offseason. He competed for the team's No. 3 running spot during the preseason but he was eventually waived in late August before quickly rejoining via the practice squad. Goodson was bumped up to the active roster for the Week 17 win over Minnesota, though he never saw the field against the Vikings. The 22-year-old is now set to compete with Patrick Taylor for a depth role this offseason.

Taylor signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots on Tuesday.

Taylor has spent all three seasons of his NFL career with New England, though he bounced back and forth between the practice squad and active roster this regular season. As a result, the 25-year-old recorded a career-low 10 carries in 2022 while appearing in fewer than five games for the first time in his career. Taylor will now look to compete for a roster spot among the Patriots' crowded running backs corps heading into the 2023 campaign.
