  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Cleared after limited practices

    Etienne (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) have both been cleared after logging three limited practice sessions. Etienne has worked ahead of Tuten for most of the season, but they split the backfield workload nearly evenly in Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers prior to Tuten's exit from the game in the second half. Jacksonville has found success with a run-heavy approach in recent weeks, and the Jaguars are unlikely to deviate from that game plan against a Cardinals team that has allowed five total touchdowns to running backs over the past two weeks.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Cleared to play, unlike Benson

    Knight (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    An upgrade to full practice participation Friday makes Knight the clear favorite to lead a backfield that won't have Trey Benson (knee) or Emari Demercado (ankle). That said, Arizona's backfield roles have been highly variable and unpredictable, so it won't be too surprising if Michael Carter and/or Jermar Jefferson also get a large chunk of the workload.

  • Trey Benson RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey Benson: Won't return this week

    Benson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Benson returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant and then remained limited during Thursday's session. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Benson has looked good in practice, but it'll apparently be at least one more week until the RB is ready to return. With Emari Demecardo (ankle) out this week, the Cardinals signed Jermar Jefferson from their practice squad to provide depth behind Bam Knight and Michael Carter.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Added to injury report

    Walker (glute) was added to the injury report Friday and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Walker wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday. It's possible something happened during practice Thursday or Friday, but for now we just know that Walker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Questionable after full practice

    Stevenson (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after practicing fully Friday.

    Stevenson logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, but his full participation in Friday's session has the running back trending toward a return to action after having missed three straight games. Supporting that notion is that coach Mike Vrabel noted of Stevenson on Friday, "I would say there wasn't many restrictions and that he responded well to the practice. I would say that as long as there are not any setbacks here, he'd be in line to play" Sunday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. In that scenario, Stevenson would be in line to rejoin a backfield timeshare with TreVeyon Henderson, who combined for five total TDs over New England's last two contests. Prior to sustaining his toe injury, Stevenson carried 83 times for 279 yards and three TDs, while adding 16 catches (on 19 targets) for 169 yards over the course of eight games.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Listed as questionable

    Jacobs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Jacobs missed the second half of last week's win over the Giants, but testing Monday revealed nothing more than a contusion, which allowed for a return to limited practice participation Thursday and Friday. Emanuel Wilson will take over as the lead runner if Jacobs ends up inactive ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. An upcoming matchup with the Lions on Thanksgiving Day could influence Green Bay's decision on Jacobs, though both games are crucial if the Packers hope to win the NFC North and not just fight for a wild card.

  • Eric Gray RB | NYG

    Giants' Eric Gray: Could return Sunday

    Gray (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    The third-year pro from Oklahoma practiced in full all week but must still be activated to the Giants' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If Gray returns in Week 12, he could split some of the Giants' backfield duties with Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Officially doubtful for Week 12

    Perine (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Perine's doubtful designation was expected based on reporting from earlier in the week. He sprained his ankle in Week 9 against the Bears and hasn't played since. Chase Brown will likely maintain a near-monopoly on Cincinnati's backfield touches Sunday, with Tahj Brooks as the next man up if Perine's ruled out.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Remains team's RB1 for Week 12

    Hunt is set to lead Kansas City's backfield Sunday against the Colts, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out.

    Pacheco will miss a third consecutive game Sunday. Hunt has turned 26 touches into 117 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns during the first two games of Pacheco's absence. Brashard Smith and Elijah Mitchell remain on hand in backup roles. Hunt has seven total touchdowns this season, including four in his last three games.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Missing Week 12

    Johnson (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

    The third-year pro from Texas didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his fourth game of the season Sunday. Johnson has played a depth role in Chicago's backfield this season, rushing twice for 17 yards across seven appearances. While he's sidelined in Week 12, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are expected to handle the Bears' rushing duties.
