Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Taylor saw his first carry of the season and took it for six yards in Sunday's win over the Bears. With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as the only running backs on the team's 53-man roster, it's likely Taylor will find himself on the field again in Week 15 against the Rams, as the Packers are on bye Week 14.

Chestnut rushed the ball five times for 13 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles.

Chestnut was elevated from the Titans' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles and was active for the first time this season. He saw all of his work in garbage time, with Derrick Henry and Dontrell Hilliard both being rested at that point. Chestnut will revert back to the practice squad in the coming days but could serve as depth once again before the regular season concludes.

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Penny (ankle) has yet to start running and remains in the midst of his rehab from a broken left fibula and high-ankle sprain, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Penny suffered the injuries back in Week 5 and underwent surgery to repair the fracture Oct. 12, getting a four-month recovery timetable at the time. That may have inched up, if only for a day, after he told Ian Furness of 93.3 KJR Seattle on Sunday that he may be able to suit up in the playoffs if the Seahawks play beyond Week 18. The comment comes in the wake of Travis Homer (knee) sitting out Week 13 with an illness and Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) picking up health concerns in Sunday's 27-23 win at the Rams. With such a banged-up backfield, the situation could be such in mid-January that Penny has a chance to return, even it's premature.

White will welcome back Leonard Fournette (hip) for Monday's game versus the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Fournette sat out Week 12 due to a hip pointer, which pushed White into the lead role in the Buccaneers backfield over the team's last two contests. During that span, the rookie racked up 36 carries for 168 yards, nine catches on nine targets for 45 yards and no touchdowns. White will cede some reps to Fournette in his return, but his recent success should keep him in the game plan.

Jones rushed seven times for 14 yards and caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.

Jones entered the game as the No. 3 running back because Travis Homer (knee/illness) was inactive, but he was the last man standing in the backfield after Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) both exited with injuries. Head coach Pete Carroll said that both Walker and Dallas underwent MRIs and haven't been ruled out for Week 14 versus the Panthers, and he won't know Homer's status until later in the week. At 5-foot-11, 224 pounds, Jones has the frame to carry a hefty workload, but he hasn't been efficient at the NFL level with 66 rushes for 177 yards (3.9 YPC). The Seahawks would likely sign a free agent or activate Godwin Igwebuike and/or Darwin Thompson from the practice squad as depth options in the event Walker, Dallas and Homer can't go.

Bolden (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Bolden was questionable going into Sunday's game against the Chargers with the same injury, but he ultimately suited up and played. With the Raiders returning to action Thursday against the Rams, it's possible his limited estimate is representative of a cautious approach by the team, as opposed to him having aggravated the injury. His practice status will be worth monitoring in the days ahead though, especially with Ameer Abdullah (hamstring) and Josh Jacobs (quad/calf) also listed as limited participants Monday.

Abdullah (hamstring) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Abdullah played his typical workload in Sunday's game with the Chargers. With the Raiders playing Thursday against the Rams, any appearance on the injury report early in the week takes on more meaning. However, his limitation was just an estimate and his status in the days ahead will be worth monitoring.

Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) was a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

The Raiders didn't practice Monday, so the report was merely an estimate. Jacobs has totaled 108 touches over his past four games, so his appearance on the injury report can likely be attributed to rest. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against the Rams, but at this point, there doesn't appear to be any indication that Jacobs is in danger of missing Week 14.

Davis carried the ball three times for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 54-19 rout of the Colts.

Seeing action late in the fourth quarter during garbage time with the game well in hand, Davis wrapped up the scoring with a 23-yard TD scamper. It was the rookie's first career touchdown in the NFL, but it may not be his last this season as the Cowboys' high-powered offense could run up the score against more opponents, including the lowly Texans in Week 14.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dallas has "somewhat of a high-ankle issue," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Dallas worked as Seattle's leading rusher during Sunday's win over the Rams, a contest which he managed to close out despite injuring his ankle on the final play before halftime. Kenneth Walker (ankle) left the game in the second quarter but isn't ruled out for Week 14 after undergoing an MRI on Monday, while Travis Homer (illness/knee) was inactive Sunday. Given the backfield uncertainty heading into a Week 14 matchup against Carolina, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Dallas' health.
