Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Etienne is dealing with a sprained foot, but the running back doesn't require a boot or crutches, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Pederson added that Etienne will be eased into practice during the week. Given that context, Etienne likely will have his practice reps capped, but it sounds like Jacksonville's starting running back could be back on the field as soon as Sunday's Week 13 game in Detroit.

Henry rushed 17 times for 38 yards and caught all three of his targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

Keeping Henry in check on the ground was key to Cincinnati's success in this one, as the star running back mustered his lowest rushing yardage total since Week 2. He made up for the lackluster rushing game by leading the Titans in receiving yards. Most of Henry's yardage came on a 69-catch in the second quarter. He actually fumbled at the end of the play, but teammate Treylon Burks recovered it in the end zone for the game's first touchdown. Up next for Henry and the Titans will be a Week 13 trip to Philadelphia.

Ozigbo caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.

Ozigbo failed to record a single rush Sunday while operating as the Bronco's No. 3 running back behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. Murray handled the lion's share of work out of the backfield, leading the way in carries and yards, while Mack and Ozigbo played six and four offensive snaps, respectively. With Mike Boone (ankle) possibly returning from injured reserve in Week 13, Ozigbo could potentially be heading back to the practice squad. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 13.

Blackshear didn't get any carries but caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos. He also gained 44 yards on five punt returns but lost a fumble.

Blackshear played just three offensive snaps, minimizing his contribution. Although he was promoted to Carolina's punt returner following Shi Smith's fumbles in Week 11, a second-quarter muff caused Blackshear to temporarily be replaced by Smith for one return. While Blackshear later reclaimed the role and had a 21-yard return earlier, his miscue leaves an area to monitor on special teams once the Panthers reconvene from their bye week.

Mack rushed two times for seven yards and secured his only target for five yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.

Mack played just six of Denver's 60 offensive snaps in his debut with the Broncos, operating as the backup to Latavius Murray. The veteran running back's three touches out of the backfield were a distant second behind Murray's 14 touches in the contest. Mack's limited upside in a struggling offense could be capped even more with Mike Boone's possible return from injured reserve in Week 13. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old Mack will try to establish himself as a contributor in the Broncos' new-look running back rotation in a Week 13 matchup against the Ravens, though he faces an uphill battle to fantasy relevance.

Felton was inactive for Week 12 against Tampa Bay.

This was the third straight week Felton's been inactive and sixth time in 11 games for the second-year back. He has just two touches and two returns over five games.

Ford returned to two kickoffs for 67 yards in Sunday's 23-17 overtime win over Tampa Bay.

Ford continues to provide value as a kickoff returner, but the rookie has yet to play a snap on offense through seven contests. That's unlikely to change as long as Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are healthy, or possibly if the Browns' playoff chances are scuttled. Ford's 27.4 average kickoff return is tied for tops in the NFL for players with at least 10 returns.

Dillon rushed eight times for 64 yards and a touchdown and caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 40-33 loss to Philadelphia.

Dillon and Aaron Jones (15 touches for 99 yards and a score) literally carried the Packers offense in a heated primetime battle against the top contender in the NFC. It was the 24-year-old's first touchdown since Week 1, which seems low given his size (6-foot, 247 pounds) and bruising running style. Aaron Jones is still the lead back in Green Bay, but his backup has received double-digit touches in four of the last five contests while serving in a complementary role. Dillon will look to build off of his best game of the 2022 season in a soft matchup against the Bears on Sunday.

Jones (shin/glute) rushed 12 times for 43 yards and caught three of four targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles.

Jones flashed his skills as a receiver when he ran a crisp route to the back of the end zone and made a leaping grab over a defender for a touchdown in this offensive shootout. AJ Dillon chipped in 84 yards and a touchdown of his own on 11 touches as the veteran back duo continues to shoulder the offensive load for a young, improving receiving unit. Aaron Rodgers (ribs) left the game late in the second half, and his status for Week 12 is currently unknown. Regardless of who is under center, expect Jones to be heavily involved in the offensive game plan against the Bears on Sunday.

Sanders rushed 21 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns while pulling in all three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-33 win over the Packers.

Sanders and Jalen Hurts put on a rushing clinic Sunday, combining for exactly 300 rushing yards between the two. The dominant performance came at just the right time for Philly's lead back, as he appeared to hit a midseason wall coming off of two mediocre performances. The 25-year-old also set new career highs in rushing yards (900) and touchdowns (eight) with six games left on the 2022 schedule. Sanders may find it difficult to replicate this monster game against the Titans' stout run defense Sunday, but he remains a must-start fantasy asset running behind an elite offensive line.
