Homer didn't record a carry or a target in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

Homer recorded at least one touch in all five games that he suited up for prior to Week 10. However, the Seahawks mostly abandoned the run after falling behind to the Buccaneers early, and rookie Kenneth Walker proved to be an effective pass-catcher with six receptions for 55 yards in this contest. Going forward, Homer is simply an insurance option.

Williams (knee) has been ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles.

Williams will not be available to suit up after being added to the Commanders' injury report with a knee injury Monday. The 28-year-old has not logged an offensive snap since Week 4, though his absence should leave Jaret Patterson as Washington's No. 3 running back with J.D. McKissic (neck) also inactive for MNF.

The Colts sent Wilkins back to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wilkins played just three offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Raiders, but he was fairly productive in the limited role, turning three carries into 18 yards. He actually tallied the second-most totes among Indianapolis running backs, as Jonathan Taylor (60 snaps) functioned as the workhorse with 22 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown. Wilkins' chance to be elevated again Week 11 may depend on whether Deon Jackson (knee) is able to play.

Ogunbowale caught his lone target for 13 yards and did not have a carry in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Giants in Week 10.

Ogunbowale has played just six offensive snaps over the three last games. That followed a spasm of activity in the Week 7 loss to the Raiders, when he had six touches. At the time, head coach Lovie Smith indicated Ogunbowale's usage was an effort to provide a spark, and it's looking like a one-game thing. Houston has a thin backfield -- just three running backs -- so Ogunbowale is an injury away from more significant playing time.

Ealy's six-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy was lifted by league commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday, Charles Goodman of USA Today reports.

Ealy will immediately count toward the Chiefs' 16-man practice squad limit after returning from this suspension. As a result, the undrafted running back, who also saw reps at wide receiver this preseason, will now be eligible for three elevations while on Kansas City's practice squad this season.

Ollison reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Ollison was elevated from the practice squad for the second game in a row ahead of Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Packers, though his only contribution came via one tackle on kick coverage while playing all 14 snaps on special teams. With Ezekiel Elliott (knee) inactive again, Tony Pollard and Malik Davis continued to carry Dallas' rushing duties against Green Bay. Ollison will now be eligible for just one more activation while on the Cowboys' practice squad this season.

Moss had one carry for four yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

It was his only snap on offense as he may not be much more than an insurance policy after coming over in a trade from Buffalo. He could have a goal-line role, however, given Indy's struggles in the red zone for much of the season.

Wilkins had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

Wilkins played just three snaps on offense, and Zack Moss played just one snap, as Jonathan Taylor (60 snaps) got almost all the playing time now that he's healthy and Nyhiem Hines has been traded. Wilkins looks like the primary backup as long as Deon Jackson (knee) is out, but that may be a very small role barring another Taylor injury.

Mattison had three carries for 11 yards and one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Sunday's win at Buffalo.

Mattison played on 12 of the offense's 80 snaps (15 percent), seeing time on one drive to give starter Dalvin Cook a break. His snap share has trended downward this season with 24 percent or less the past four games, giving him little fantasy value barring a Cook injury. Mattison still is one of the more valuable backup running backs in the league given his production when thrust into the starting lineup.

Arizona waived Benjamin on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Benjamin saw just one offensive snap during Arizona's Week 10 win over the Rams and was let go a day later. The 2020 seventh-round pick rushed 70 times for 299 yards and two scores while securing 24 of 33 targets for 184 yards across his first nine appearances, including a 92-yard rushing performance Week 7 with James Conner sidelined due to a rib injury. Benjamin likely will draw interest while on waivers, but in his absence, rookie Keaontay Ingram will be promoted to the primary backup behind Conner.
