Jones compiled four rushes for 12 yards and caught his only target for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-10 win versus the Rams.

Jones hadn't appeared in a game all season but looks set to join the mix with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) on injured reserve. He can be a factor both as a runner, and a receiver and likely slots in as the direct backup to Isiah Pacheco, while Jerick McKinnon serves as the Chiefs' primary receiving back.

Davis-Price, who has been a healthy inactive for the 49ers' last three games, could serve as the No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey (knee) in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The last time Davis-Price saw action was in Week 7, when McCaffrey was on a limited snap count in his San Francisco debut. Davis-Price served as McCaffrey's main backup for that contest, as Jeff Wilson was sent out to Miami in a trade a few days earlier and Elijah Mitchell was still on injured reserve. Mitchell returned to action following the Niners' Week 9 bye but is now set to go back on IR after suffering an MCL sprain to his left knee in this past Sunday's win over the Saints. Meanwhile, McCaffrey was able to finish the game while battling knee irritation, temporarily clouding the star back's status for Week 13. Even if McCaffrey ends up being able to play, the 49ers could look to manage his workload by incorporating Davis-Price, who has logged 16 carries for 37 yards and has yet to record a reception this season. Fellow rookie Jordan Mason has dressed ahead of Davis-Price the last three weeks and even picked up five carries this past Sunday, but Mason has mostly been active due to his status as a core special-teams contributor and may not be ahead in the pecking order for touches out of the backfield.

McKinnon didn't carry the ball but hauled in three of six targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 26-10 win against the Rams.

McKinnon remains in a rotational backfield role with Isiah Pacheco. Instead of it becoming a two-man backfield committee with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) sidelined, Ronald Jones has joined the mix and saw more rushing attempts (four) than McKinnon. McKinnon should remain the primary receiving threat out of the backfield, but it doesn't appear he will benefit much from CEH's absence.

Jacobs aggravated a calf strain late in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks and isn't expected to practice much over the next few days, clouding his status for the Raiders' Week 13 game against the Chargers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jacobs initially injured his calf in practice last Friday, resulting in him being listed as questionable heading into the past weekend. Though he was at risk of sitting out against Seattle, Jacobs suited up and proceeded to deliver the best performance of his career. Even though he missed the final four-plus minutes of the fourth quarter, he returned for overtime and delivered a game-winning 86-yard touchdown run, capping off an afternoon in which he amassed 303 yards from scrimmage and two scores on 39 touches (33 carries, six receptions). The adrenaline may have been enough for Jacobs to play through the calf issue against Seattle, but he'll need to continue to show improvement while receiving around-the-clock treatment on the injury to guarantee his availability for the Raiders' Week 13 contest.

Vaughn rushed four times for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Vaughn logged four touches over nine snaps from scrimmage with Leonard Fournette (hip) inactive. The third-year back could work as the No. 2 early down back again in Week 13 against the Saints if Fournette sits out again, but it seems clear the Buccaneers are committed to Rachaad White as their likely lead back moving forward.

Taylor rushed 20 times for 86 yards and a touchdown while catching three of four targets for 12 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

Taylor had nearly as many rushing yards on six first-half carries (34) as Matt Ryan had passing yards on 13 attempts (36), and Taylor was responsible for 11 of those yards as well. The Colts went into the locker room trailing 16-3, but an 89-yard kickoff return to open the third quarter put them in scoring position, and Taylor capitalized with a two-yard touchdown. Later in the third, Ryan and Taylor botched a handoff on Pittsburgh's one-yard line, leading to a Ryan fumble recovered by the Steelers. That play turned out to be a big one in a game that the Colts ultimately lost by a touchdown. Up next for Taylor and the Colts is a Week 13 trip to Dallas.

Snell rushed 12 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts. He also caught his only target for six yards.

Najee Harris was in and out of the game in the first half before being ruled out at halftime due to an abdominal injury. With Jaylen Warren (hamstring) inactive, Snell took over as the lead back after Harris' exit, with Anthony McFarland spelling him. Snell punched in the go-ahead touchdown from two yards out early in the fourth quarter, and he could maintain the lead role in Week 13 against the Falcons if Harris and Warren remain sidelined.

Harris (abdomen) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Colts.

Harris spent some time talking to trainers on the sidelines in the second quarter after walking off gingerly, but he returned a few plays later to punch in a six-yard touchdown. He then went to the locker room in the final minutes of the first half and was subsequently ruled out after halftime. With Jaylen Warren (hamstring) inactive, Benny Snell and Anthony McFarland are Pittsburgh's backfield options for the second half of Monday's game.

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

Taylor suited up for his ninth game with the Packers on Sunday. Although he failed to see a snap on offense, he did play 10 special-teams snaps against the Eagles. With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as the only running backs on the active roster, it's likely Taylor will find himself suiting up with the team again in Week 13 against the Bears.

Dallas rushed once for two yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Dallas ended up with nine offensive snaps, trailing rookie Kenneth Walker (46) and Travis Homer (13). As long as Walker is healthy, Dallas -- who has averaged 1.9 touches per game -- won't have much fantasy value.
