Herbert sustained a hip injury during Sunday's 31-30 loss the Lions.

Prior to being ruled out late in the fourth quarter, Herbert notched 10 carries for 57 yards and two kick returns for 67 yards. His production on the ground outpaced backfield mate David Montgomery (nine rushes for 37 yards), but both RBs were well behind quarterback Justin Fields' 13 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Now with a health concern in tow, Herbert will be a player to monitor as the Bears prepare for next Sunday's game in Atlanta.

White rushed 22 times for 105 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Seahawks.

White out-carried Leonard Fournette (hip), 22-14, which was skewed a bit by Fournette's exit in the fourth quarter. However, White got the first carry of the game and was almost exactly even with Fournette in opportunity through the first two quarters. White wasn't all that efficient for much of the game, though he ripped off big gains of 29 and 18 yards to top 100 rushing yards. His usage moving forward will depend on the health of Fournette, but White has clearly gained ground in the Tampa Bay backfield regardless,

Pollard will once again serve as the Cowboys' No. 1 running back in Sunday's Week 10 clash against the Packers with Ezekiel Elliott (knee) declared inactive for the contest, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Pollard parlayed such an opportunity into 131 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries against the Bears in Week 8, and he'll have the added benefit Sunday of coming into his second straight assignment as the lead back rested off the Week 9 bye. The matchup against the Packers defense shapes up as about as appealing as that against Chicago, as Green Bay has surrendered an NFC-high 175.3 rushing yards per home game.

Elliott (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 10 clash against the Packers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Optimism surrounded Elliott's status earlier in the week, but the veteran running back's outlook seemingly worsened entering the weekend. The Cowboys indicated they'd err on the side of caution if there were any doubts about Elliott's health, and with the first consecutive absence of his career now confirmed, Tony Pollard, who turned in a 131-yard, three-touchdown effort on 14 carries in the lead role against the Bears in Week 8, will once again be in line to help Dallas' backfield versus Green Bay, with Malik Davis and practice-squad callup Qadree Ollison on hand as complementary options. Elliott's next opportunity to take the field will come in a Week 11 clash against the Vikings.

Moss is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Starting RB Jonathan Taylor is back in action Sunday, but with Deon Jackson (knee) ruled out for the contest, Moss is poised to make his debut with the Colts and figures to log complementary snaps in Week 10, along with Jordan Wilkins.

Walker rushed the ball 10 times for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers. He added six receptions on eight targets for 55 yards.

Walker was bottled up as a rusher and the Seahawks were forced to abandon the run due to game script, which resulted in his lowest rushing yardage total since taking over as the starter. However, he became a significant part of Seattle's passing attack in the second half -- both on designed plays and as a check-down option -- to turn in his most prolific day as a receiver. It's also notable that no other running back on the roster recorded either a rushing attempt or a target, so Walker has a clear path to plenty of volume moving forward.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy suggested Pollard will likely remain the team's top running back Sunday against the Packers with Ezekiel Elliott (knee) listed as questionable but seemingly not expected to play, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.

Though both team owner Jerry Jones and Pollard indicated earlier in the week that they anticipated Elliott returning from a one-game absence Sunday, the news pertaining to Elliott's status has become more negative in recent days. Even if Elliott is cleared to return from his hyperextended knee, he may have a smaller role than usual Sunday, which seemingly sets up Pollard to retain the high-volume role he enjoyed in a Week 8 win over the Bears. In that 49-29 victory, Pollard carried 14 times for 131 yards and three touchdowns while turning his lone target into a 16-yard reception.

Mack (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Titans.

Mack will be inactive once again, as the team will dress Melvin Gordon, Latavius Murray and Chase Edmonds ahead of him.

McKinnon (shoulder/knee/hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

McKinnon practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday before he put in a limited session Friday to earn the questionable tag, but he's been cleared to face Jacksonville. The 30-year-old has only seven carries over the past three games, though he's been more involved in the passing game with 11 receptions for 105 yards during that stretch. Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire should also be involved as the Chiefs will likely continue to utilize a three-man backfield committee.

Elliott, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Green Bay, may be held out if there's any uncertainty about his health when he tests out his right knee in warmups, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Elliott participated in practice all week but only as a limited participant. Rapoport's report is in contrast to statements from both team owner Jerry Jones and backfield mate Tony Pollard, who both said earlier in the week that they thought Elliott would return from a one-game absence. Clarity on Elliott's status may not arrive until Dallas posts its inactive list 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Elliott suits up, he could be subject to a lighter workload than usual.
