Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Mixon remains in concussion protocol but is making progress, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Mixon suffered a concussion during the second quarter of Week 11 and was sidelined for Week 12, paving the way for Samaje Perine to lead Cincinnati's backfield. It's concerning to see Mixon still in protocols following the team's win over the Titans, but the starting running back's availability for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City should become clearer as the week progresses. If Mixon remains sidelined to begin Week 13 prep Wednesday, Perine could be in line for another expanded workload.

White rushed for 28 yards on two carries in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.

White toted the rock twice despite appearing on just three of the Raiders' 77 offensive plays, and the rookie's rush attempts were successful with carries of 11 and 17 yards to set up a pair of first downs in the third quarter. Starter Josh Jacobs still owns the backfield, however, erupting for 303 total yards and two touchdowns on 39 touches. Expect White to remain behind Jacobs and Ameer Abdullah in the pecking order at running back when Las Vegas hosts the Chargers in Week 13.

Abdullah rushed for 16 yards on three carries and caught all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks. He also returned three kickoffs for 73 yards.

Abdullah found the end zone for the first time this season in Seattle, where he racked up 55 yards on six touches despite playing only 14 offensive snaps behind a monster performance from Josh Jacobs. The latter figures to remain the workhorse out of the Raiders backfield Week 13 against the Chargers, but Abdullah now has caught at least three passes in three straight games.

Per coach John Harbaugh, Dobbins (knee) will return to practice this week, opening the window for the running back to return from injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Dobbins has been sidelined since Week 6 after having surgery to remove scar tissue from his knee. The Ravens will have 21 days to add Dobbins back onto the roster, so he could be available as soon as Week 13 against the Broncos. Even if he's given the green light to play Sunday, Dobbins likely will be eased back in while Gus Edwards, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill continue to see playing time in Baltimore's backfield.

Hines (illness) returned to practice Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Hines was one of numerous Bills players that were sidelined for Sunday's team workout due to an illness following their narrow win over the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. However, the running back was back in the mix Monday and doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing Thursday's matchup against New England. Regardless, since joining Buffalo at the trade deadline, Hines has rushed twice for negative five yards and failed to haul in his only target, though he has emerged as a solid return man.

Scott carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 40-33 win over the Packers.

The Eagles rushed 49 times for 363 yards on the day, but with 300 of those yards being gained by Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders, little was left for Scott to do. All three of Scott's carries came in the fourth quarter. One of those rushing attempts led to a 19-yard gain, a season high for Scott, but the fact that he was largely a non-factor despite his team's big day on the ground further reinforces the fact that he's at least one injury away from fantasy relevance.

Gainwell carried the ball eight times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Packers, adding one catch for seven more yards.

Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders received the bulk of the Eagles' carries and gained the bulk of the team's yards on the ground as usual Sunday, but on a day in which Philadelphia rushed for 363 yards, there was plenty of action to go around. Gainwell's carries and yards both represented season highs. While the Eagles do have the capability to go off like they did against Green Bay on occasion and could do so again, they're unlikely to do so frequently enough to make Gainwell a reliable option. Even after his Week 12 contributions, he's still averaging just 20.4 total yards on 4.4 touches per game this season.

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Etienne is dealing with a sprained foot, but the running back doesn't require a boot or crutches, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Pederson added that Etienne will be eased into practice during the week. Given that context, Etienne likely will have his practice reps capped, but it sounds like Jacksonville's starting running back could be back on the field as soon as Sunday's Week 13 game in Detroit.

Henry rushed 17 times for 38 yards and caught all three of his targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

Keeping Henry in check on the ground was key to Cincinnati's success in this one, as the star running back mustered his lowest rushing yardage total since Week 2. He made up for the lackluster rushing game by leading the Titans in receiving yards. Most of Henry's yardage came on a 69-catch in the second quarter. He actually fumbled at the end of the play, but teammate Treylon Burks recovered it in the end zone for the game's first touchdown. Up next for Henry and the Titans will be a Week 13 trip to Philadelphia.

Ozigbo caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.

Ozigbo failed to record a single rush Sunday while operating as the Bronco's No. 3 running back behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. Murray handled the lion's share of work out of the backfield, leading the way in carries and yards, while Mack and Ozigbo played six and four offensive snaps, respectively. With Mike Boone (ankle) possibly returning from injured reserve in Week 13, Ozigbo could potentially be heading back to the practice squad. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 13.
