Jackson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Jackson missed the Colts' 25-20 win over Las Vegas last Sunday, while Jonathan Taylor returned from an ankle injury to play 94 percent of the snaps while taking 22 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown. Taylor will lead the backfield again this Sunday against Philadelphia, with Zack Moss and Jordan Wilkins providing depth if Jackson isn't ready to suit up.

Williams didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Williams has been the Lions' most-used running back this season, earning between 12 and 24 touches in each of the team's nine games. With nine touchdowns, he sits in a tie for third in the NFL with the Titans' Derrick Henry, but an illness now is affecting Williams' practice reps. At the same time, D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder) managed a full session Wednesday, so a changing of the guard in the backfield could be in store Week 11. Williams' status nonetheless will be one to watch closely as Sunday's game against the Giants approaches.

Edwards (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

A Week 10 bye seems to have done Edwards some good after he missed the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Saints. He had 16 carries in back-to-back games before that -- his only two appearances of the season -- and it's possible he reclaims the lead role from Kenyan Drake if he's available Sunday against Carolina.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that he doesn't believe Herbert (hip) is dealing with a season-ending injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The Bears placed Herbert on injured reserve Tuesday after the running back was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Lions after he suffered the injury in question on his final kickoff return of the day. The move to IR makes Herbert ineligible to play until Week 16, but Eberflus is apparently hopeful that the running back can make it back to action at some point during the final three weeks of the season. While Herbert is out of commission, top back David Montgomery stands to see increased opportunities, and Trestan Ebner should step up as his top backup starting with Sunday's game at Atlanta.

Bolden logged all 17 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

For only the second time in his eight appearances on the season, Bolden didn't pick up a snap on offense, as the Raiders had all of Josh Jacobs, Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White and Jakob Johnson work out of the backfield ahead of him. Bolden's status as a core special teams contributor should be enough to keep him active on game days moving forward, but he doesn't look like he'll have a role as a change-of-pace back unless one of Jacobs or Abdullah is sidelined.

Scott rushed once for five yards in Monday's Week 10 loss to Washington.

The Eagles were limited to just 50 offensive snaps as the Commanders dominated time of possession. Scott was on the field for just five of those snaps and made a minimal impression.

Gainwell finished with one carry for seven yards and one catch for five yards in Monday's loss to the Commanders.

After tying his season high with seven touches and a score in Week 9, Gainwell tied his season low with just two touches in Week 10. He continues to have minimal fantasy relevance and doesn't even produce all that many points when he happens to find the end zone, as his workload is simply too small.

Jones (shin) was a limited participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice.

After exiting early in the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Giants with the shin injury, Jones approached this past Sunday's game against the Cowboys without a designation even though he was limited in practices Wednesday through Friday. He proceeded to carry the ball a season-high 24 times in the Packers' 31-28 overtime win over Dallas, finishing with 138 yards and a touchdown. With a quick turnaround for Green Bay's Week 11 matchup with the Titans on Thursday, the Packers could aim to manage Jones' workload to some degree, but the shin injury doesn't look to be anything that will prevent him from suiting up.

Patterson reverted back to the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Patterson made his first NFL appearance in 2022 in Week 10 against the Eagles, but he ultimately played just four special-teams snaps in the contest. The 22-year-old will now transition back to Washington's practice squad as an emergency running back depth option, though he could receive another promotion to the team's 53-man roster if either J.D. McKissic (neck) or Jonathan Williams (knee) are unable to gain medical clearance in time for Sunday's game in Houston.

The Saints cut Gore from their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

The Saints signed Gore to their practice squad last Wednesday, but he's since been let go as a result of Tuesday's transaction. The 27-year-old was waived by the Chiefs with an injury settlement in late August after injuring his thumb in a preseason game, but he'll now search elsewhere to continue his playing career.
