Antonio Gibson RB | NE
Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Finds end zone in Week 10 win
Gibson rushed 14 times for 44 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 14 yards in Monday's 32-21 win over Philadelphia.
Gibson tied the score at 7-7 with a one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, but the next time Washington got one yard away from the end zone, it was fellow running back Brian Robinson that punched it in. In the final minute of the first half, Gibson stayed down after being tackled awkwardly, but he returned to the field after halftime. Both running backs are crucial to Washington's offense, as Robinson had 12 more carries than Gibson but no targets. Another run-heavy Commanders game plan is likely in Week 11 against Houston's porous run defense.

Brian Robinson Jr. RB | ATL
Commanders' Brian Robinson: Busiest game of young career
Robinson rushed 26 times for 86 yards and one touchdown in Monday's 32-21 win over the Eagles. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.
After watching Antonio Gibson score from one yard out in the first quarter, Robinson matched that feat late in the second. Robinson was bottled up initially but kept his legs churning and had the wherewithal to reach the ball across the goal line before he was ruled down. The rookie third-round pick out of Alabama set new career highs in carries and rushing yards, so his arrow's pointing up ahead of a juicy Week 11 matchup with Houston's league-worst run defense.

Keaontay Ingram RB | KC
Cardinals' Keaontay Ingram: Becomes No. 2 running back
Ingram is the only running back behind James Conner on the Cardinals' active roster after the team waived Eno Benjamin on Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Conner appeared to be operating on all cylinders Sunday at the Rams, earning 96 percent of the snaps and turning a season-high 24 touches into 86 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. Meanwhile Ingram, a rookie sixth-rounder, was at seven percent and had one carry for five yards, while Benjamin rang in at one offensive play and muffed his only punt return. Conner will continue to handle the vast majority of reps out of Arizona's backfield as long as he stays healthy. However, Ingram has a clear path to any remaining touches, especially with Darrel Williams (hip) and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) on IR. Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams are the current candidates to be elevated from the practice squad to give the Cardinals additional backfield depth.

Miles Sanders RB | DAL
Eagles' Miles Sanders: Held in check by Washington
Sanders rushed 12 times for 54 yards and failed to catch his only target in Monday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders.
Sanders didn't have a chance to get rolling, as Washington enjoyed a massive edge in time of possession. His third rushing attempt of the game didn't come until there were just over five minutes left in the third quarter. When he got the ball, Sanders was fairly effective, but the Eagles were forced into a pass-heavy approach as they trailed in the second half for the first time this season and ultimately suffered their first defeat of 2022. Philadelphia's likely to get back to playing from ahead in Week 11 against the 4-5-1 Colts.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Packers' Aaron Jones: Limited by shin issue
Jones was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate with a shin injury.
Last week, Jones also was listed as limited due to the ankle injury that he picked up in a Week 9 loss at Detroit, but it didn't impact him on the field Sunday against the Cowboys, when he had a season-high 26 touches for 156 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. This time around, a different health concern has resulted in a similar listing on the first Week 11 practice report. Jones will have opportunities Tuesday and Wednesday to put himself in a position to avoid a designation for Thursday's game versus the Titans.

Travis Homer RB | PIT
Seahawks' Travis Homer: No touches in loss
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.

Jonathan Williams RB | WAS
Commanders' Jonathan Williams: Won't play Monday
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.
-
Jordan Wilkins RB | CLE
Jordan Wilkins: Rejoins practice squad
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.
-
Dare Ogunbowale RB | LV
Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: One target in loss
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.

Jerrion Ealy WR | KC
Jerrion Ealy: Suspension lifted Monday
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.
