Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Walker is dealing with a right ankle strain and could be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, though the team can't confirm his status yet, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Carroll called Walker's injury "unusual," but it's a good sign that the rookie running back hasn't been ruled out for Week 14 already. Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports that the Seahawks have already received results from Monday's MRI, so it appears that further information on Walker's status could rely on what he's able to do in practice this week. Meanwhile, Travis Homer is nursing a sprained knee, and DeeJay Dallas suffered "somewhat of a high ankle issue," per Boyle, but he was able to finish the Week 13 win over the Rams.

White rushed twice for six yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

White logged only four offensive snaps despite starter Josh Jacobs having nursed a left calf strain all week, and the latter rushed for 144 yards and a score on 26 carries Sunday. White's role out of the Raiders' backfield figures to remain limited Thursday against the Rams with Jacobs seemingly near full strength.

Warren rushed once for five yards while securing both of his targets for 14 yards during the Steelers' 19-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Warren missed Monday's game against the Colts due to a hamstring injury but was back in action for Sunday's Week 13 matchup. While he outpaced Benny Snell in snaps, Warren was on the field for just 20 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive plays. The undrafted rookie topped 75 yards from scrimmage in two of his three appearances prior to his absence, but he's unlikely to be a consistent fantasy contributor as long as Najee Harris remains healthy.

Conner rushed once for six yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss at Detroit.

Conner played four offensive snaps in the blowout loss and received his fourth carry of the year. The rookie fifth-round pick has rarely seen the field this season, and that's unlikely to change much if workhorse Travis Etienne remains healthy.

Hasty played three offensive snaps during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Lions.

The 26-year-old had 17 touches for 95 yards and a touchdown after Travis Etienne exited with a foot injury in Week 12, but Etienne returned Sunday and played 88 percent of the offensive snaps. Hasty barely saw the field, while rookie Snoop Conner played a few snaps and had one carry. Hasty should remain the top backup for now, but Darrell Henderson could also soon be a factor after being claimed off waivers in late November.

Taylor had one carry for six yards in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears.

Fellow running back Aaron Jones briefly left Sunday's contest with a shin injury, which allowed Taylor to both log a season-high six snaps and run the ball for the first time all season. Jones returned to the contest and presumably will be good to go following the Packers' Week 14 bye, so Taylor remains a distant third option in the backfield for the time being.

Robinson rushed four times for 10 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-22 loss to Minnesota.

Michael Carter's absence due to an ankle injury paved the way for Robinson to suit up after he was a healthy scratch for the Jets' previous game, but the former Jacksonville running back still saw minimal usage. Zonovan Knight rushed 15 times for 90 yards in the lead role, demonstrating the type of tough running the Jets have been hoping for but have yet to see out of Robinson. Even if Carter remains out in Week 14 against the Bills, Robinson's usage will likely remain minimal.

Williams rushed three times for nine yards and failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

The Rams saw six different players record a rushing attempt Sunday, and Williams finished fifth on the team in rushing yardage, only besting backup quarterback Bryce Perkins, who took the field for a single snap. Cam Akers led the team with 17 carries for 60 yards and two TDs and was on the field for 72 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps, compared to just 28 percent for Williams. He has seemingly fallen to the No. 2 role in one of the weakest offensive units in the league, a development that makes it difficult to trust the rookie running back in fantasy lineups, even with the Raiders next on the docket for a Thursday night matchup in Week 14.

Benjamin was on the active roster for Week 13's game against the Browns.

He was claimed off waivers from Arizona three weeks ago, and Benjamin did not receive a touch or a target on just four snaps in his Houston debut. With Rex Burkhead (concussion) unavailable, Dare Ogunbowale was the primary backup for Dameon Pierce, but that could change as Benjamin becomes more familiar with the offense.

Walker is scheduled to undergo tests Monday to evaluate what Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has termed as a "jammed" right ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Walker exited in the first half of Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams with the ankle injury, finishing the day with three carries for 36 yards across 14 snaps. According to Rapoport, Walker's injury is different from a sprain because the joint of his ankle jammed down, but the Seahawks are still trying to determine the severity of the issue. Walker's upcoming tests should shed more light on his availability for the Seahawks' Week 14 game against the Panthers.
