Sermon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Sermon is now slated to miss his ninth consecutive contest after being named a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup versus Chicago. Unless either Miles Sanders, Boston Scott or Kenneth Gainwell are forced to miss time, the second-year back likely won't see much action on the field.

Benjamin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Benjamin was claimed off waivers by the Saints on Wednesday, but he'll remain inactive for his first contest with New Orleans. Dwayne Washington (coach's decision) is also inactive and Mark Ingram (knee) is out for the season, leaving David Johnson as the only active backup behind Alvin Kamara. However, the versatile Taysom Hill figures to garner a few rushing attempts as well.

Washington (illness) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Washington didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep due to an illness, so despite him being listed as questionable, it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Eno Benjamin (coach's decision) is also inactive, and Mark Ingram (knee) is out for the season, leaving David Johnson as the only active backup behind Alvin Kamara. However, Taysom Hill figures to get a few carries as well.

Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Reynolds was activated off injured reserve Saturday, but he'll remain sidelined for at least one more contest while working his way back from a rib injury. Justin Jackson, who was listed as questionable due to an illness, is active and figures to continue serving as the No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Robinson remains the odd man out in the Jets' backfield Sunday, with Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter set to lead the Jets' Week 15 backfield, while Ty Johnson is on hand in reserve.

Stevenson (ankle) is listed as questionable and is considered a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders, though he has a "good chance" at suiting up, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Though Stevenson looks to be trending in the right direction for the Week 15 contest, his status will ultimately be determined by a pregame workout before the Patriots make a call on his status when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The running back's ankle injury limited him to just 13 snaps in the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Cardinals. Meanwhile, Damien Harris (thigh) has been downgraded to out versus the Raiders, so Stevenson may not face much of a challenge from rookies Pierre Strong or Kevin Harris for work if he's available.

Singletary rushed the ball 13 times for 42 yards in Saturday's 32-29 win over the Dolphins. He added three receptions on four targets for 28 yards.

Singletary earned 16 touches as compared to James Cook's seven. The former wasn't particularly impressive in his capacity as either a runner or receiver, though he did help set up a touchdown late in the first quarter with a 13-yard reception. Singletary's involvement as a pass catcher was particularly encouraging, as he entered Saturday's contest having failed to earn more than two targets in five consecutive games. Singletary now has at least 70 total yards three times in that same span.

Ahmed rushed six times for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 32-29 loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

Ahmed saw an elevated role with Jeff Wilson (hip) sidelined, and he ultimately logged one more carry than he had all season combined. Ahmed made good use of the rare opportunity, scoring on an 11-yard run late in the first half to bring the Dolphins to within a point. Despite the encouraging results Saturday, it's difficult to envision Ahmed getting more than just a handful of snaps if Wilson is back for the Week 16 Christmas Day home clash against the Packers, although his performance could ensure he and not Myles Gaskin garners active status for that contest as the No. 3 running back.

Mostert rushed 17 times for 136 yards, secured one of two targets for 20 yards and returned one kickoff for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 32-29 loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

Nearly half of the veteran running back's rushing production came on a 67-yard run late in the first quarter that set up a Jason Sanders field goal. Mostert's rushing yardage tally produced his second 100-yard effort of the campaign and was his highest since Week 13 of the 2019 season, when he and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel were both with the 49ers. Mostert's lead-back role came as a result of the absence of Jeff Wilson (hip), but if the latter is back for the Week 16 Christmas Day home battle against the Packers, the former's workload is expected to take a hit, though maybe not much of one following Saturday's monster performance.

Edwards rushed the ball seven times for 55 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Browns.

Edwards had a fine performance with the opportunity he was given, as he managed lengthy runs of 25 and 10 yards to pace his day. However, he continued to slip further behind J.K. Dobbins in terms of workload, as he had only seven carries as opposed to 13 for Dobbins. That doesn't seem likely to change moving forward barring another injury to Dobbins, leaving Edwards in a backup role.
