Rountree was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.

Rountree signed with Los Angeles' active roster Nov. 12 but has now been waived two weeks later. The move comes on the same day that the Chargers activated fellow running back Joshua Kelley (knee) from injured reserve. In his only game with Los Angeles, Rountree did not see an offensive snap and logged three snaps on special teams.

The Bears elevated Evans from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of a Week 12 clash against the Jets.

Evans was also elevated ahead of last week's loss to Atlanta, but he played only two offensive snaps and didn't receive a touch or a target. The third-year back also logged six special-teams snaps and figures to fill a similar role this week. Chicago will likely again go with David Montgomery and Trestan Ebner as its top two ball carriers Sunday.

The Rams signed Rivers to their active roster Saturday.

Rivers has gone back and forth between the practice squad and the active roster this season, and he's suited up in three games with the Rams, tallying nine carries for 21 yards and five catches for 29 yards. His signing to the active roster comes four days after Los Angeles waived former lead back Darrell Henderson. Rivers will likely work as the Rams' No. 3 ball carrier behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams on Sunday against Kansas City.

The Broncos signed Ozigbo from their practice squad Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

This move comes as no surprise since Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed Friday that Ozigbo would join the team for the Week 12 contest against Carolina. The Broncos are suddenly thin at running back after Melvin Gordon was waived Monday and Chase Edmonds (ankle) was placed on IR on Tuesday, though Ozigbo may not see much work behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. This is the third week this season that Ozigbo will be active for Denver, but so far he's logged only two offensive snaps and converted one carry into two yards.

Taylor has been elevated by Green Bay from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road contest against Philadelphia.

This will be the ninth week this season during which Taylor has been active for the Packers, as he's been signed and waived from the active roster twice but has rejoined the practice squad each time. Taylor hasn't been able to see the field much behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, as he's logged only one offensive snap thus far. Meanwhile, the third-year back has racked up 78 special-teams snaps, and that's likely the primary role he'll play again Week 12.

The Chargers activated Kelley (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.

Kelley has missed the requisite four games on IR as a result of an MCL sprain, but his first game action since Week 6 was forecast Wednesday when the team designated him for return. With three practices likely under his belt this week, he at least will be an option for L.A.'s backfield behind starter Austin Ekeler, along with Isaiah Spiller and Sony Michel. In six appearances this season, Kelley has averaged 4.5 YPC on his 23 rushes and hauled in seven of 10 targets for 56 yards.

Warren (hamstring) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Colts, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Warren didn't practice all week, so it's hardly surprising to see the rookie unavailable. Najee Harris easily put together his best game of the season in Week 11 and will likely be tasked with the majority share of the backfield in Warren's absence.

The Packers signed Taylor to their practice squad Friday.

Taylor has bounced on and off the Packers' active roster throughout the season. He was most recently waived Wednesday, though it didn't take long for him to rejoin the team. He has played in eight games on the campaign, with 78 of his 79 snaps coming on special teams.

Haskins (hip) is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Haskins was a limited participant Thursday after popping up with a hip injury, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. The 22-year-old running back remained limited during Friday's session, leaving his status for the Titans' Week 12 contest up in the air. Haskins has logged just one rushing attempt since carrying the ball a season-high nine times Week 2 against Buffalo, and he's primarily played on special teams over 10 games.

Jacobs is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after he was a limited participant in Friday's practice with a calf injury, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, but the running back's addition to the injury report Friday makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Ideally, added context with regard to Jacobs' status will arrive before the early wave of kickoffs this weekend, but if he's sidelined or available only in a limited capacity versus Seattle, more snaps at running back will be available for some combination of Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden and Zamir White.
