Williams took 14 carries for 32 yards and two catches for nine yards in Sunday's 26-6 win over Dallas.

Williams got the third start of his career three weeks before his 29th birthday, though Jaret Patterson finished with more carries and yards (17 for 78) with both Antonio Gibson (foot, IR) and Brian Robinson (knee, inactive) sidelined for the season finale. Williams is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and should find an opportunity -- be it in Washington or elsewhere -- to compete for a special-teams role and depth RB job.

Mostert suffered a broken thumb in Sunday's 11-6 win over the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Mostert suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Miami's playoff berth-clinching win. It remains to be seen whether Mostert will be capable of playing through this injury in the wild-card round against the Bills. If Mostert is unable to suit up Sunday in Buffalo, Jeff Wilson likely would take on a workhorse role in Miami's backfield.

Nwangwu notched five carries for 13 yards and reeled in his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 29-13 win against the Bears.

Nwangwu had just four carries all season prior to Sunday, but he got some playing time at running back in the second half while starters were rested ahead of the playoffs. He'll likely remain exclusively in a special-teams role during the postseason.

Hall (knee) is progressing faster than expected in his recovery from a torn ACL, and the 21-year-old running back believes he could be ready for training camp this summer, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Prior to tearing his ACL in October, Hall was the leading candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year, rushing 80 times for 463 yards and four touchdowns while adding 19 catches for 218 yards and one touchdown on 31 targets in his first seven games. Hall is expected to lead the Jets backfield once he's capable of handling a full workload, and this update at the end of the 2022 season suggests he could be ready from the get-go in 2023.

Chandler posted six rushes for 20 yards during Sunday's 29-13 win against the Bears.

The 20122 fifth-round draft pick got his first carries in the final game of the season as starters were rested ahead of the playoffs. He only played in three games and was limited to just special teams in his last two games. He may not be active for the playoffs.

Warren rushed six times for 36 yards while securing three of four targets for seven yards during the Steelers' 28-14 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

Warren racked up a season-high 15 touches during Pittsburgh's Week 17 win over the Ravens, but he had a more limited role in the team's offense to close out the regular season. Although starting running back Najee Harris appeared in every game this year, Warren carved out a somewhat consistent role as the No. 2 option in the backfield, rushing 77 times for 379 yards and a touchdown while securing 28 of 33 targets for 214 yards. While Harris should remain the clear No. 1 RB in Pittsburgh next season, Warren has appeared to gain the trust of the team's coaching staff as the top backup.

Taylor (ankle) said Monday he will meet with doctors to decide about the possibility of undergoing surgery, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Taylor missed the final three games of the season due to a right high-ankle sprain, and it sounds as though a decision on whether or not the injury necessitates surgery hasn't yet been made. Through his 11 appearances in 2022, Taylor racked up 861 yards and four touchdowns on 192 carries, with another 28 catches (on 40 targets) for 143 yards. The running back's situation in Indianapolis could look very different to start the 2023 campaign, health not withstanding. With three seasons under his belt, Taylor now is looking ahead to the final year of his rookie deal.

Davis carried the ball five times for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

The Cowboys offense ended the regular season with a whimper and scored only six points, while Davis' 19 rushing yards actually tied for the team lead. Heading into a wild-card round matchup with the Buccaneers, the undrafted rookie out of Florida remains firmly behind Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard on the depth chart, and Davis might only see action Monday if things have gone very well -- or very poorly -- for Dallas.

Dallas rushed twice for 29 yards and caught his lone target for a three-yard loss in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams. He also returned two punts for 24 yards.

In the must-win game, rookie Kenneth Walker played a whopping 61 offensive snaps while Dallas played just 11. This may be a peek into how the duo will split reps during the postseason, but Dallas is a skilled pass catcher that will be useful if the Seahawks fall behind in Saturday's wild-card game versus the 49ers.

Hines scored two touchdowns and accounted for 241 all-purpose yards in Sunday's 35-23 victory over the Patriots.

Hines staked the Bills to an early 7-0 lead, bringing back the opening kickoff for a 96-yard score. The 26-year-old later returned another kickoff for a 101-yard score in third quarter, putting Buffalo back on top 21-17 after the team had just fallen behind for the first time in the game. With the second touchdown, Hines became the first player since Leon Washington to score multiple kickoff return touchdowns in the same contest, with Washington achieving the feat with the Seahawks in 2010. Since being acquired from the Colts in November, Hines hasn't made much of an impression on offense as a change-of-pace back behind Devin Singletary and James Cook, but the 26-year-old should continue to provide a major lift in the return game.
