Homer (hamstring/knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

The Miami product downgraded from limited practice Wednesday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he won't play in the Week 12 matchup. Homer has appeared in five games this season, contributing primarily on special teams (six offensive snaps, 86 special-teams snaps). With Homer and Roschon Johnson (thumb) both out Sunday, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are currently the only healthy running backs on Chicago's active roster.

Kamara (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara's presence on injury reports has been a constant for New Orleans since he hurt his ankle during a practice in early October. A Week 11 bye apparently didn't change anything, with the Saints now listing Kamara as questionable for a third straight game. He's yet to actually miss a game this year, and he even took a season-high 22 carries his last time out, finishing with 115 total yards on 25 touches in the Week 10 win over Carolina.

Coach Andy Reid ruled out Pacheco (knee) for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 8 due to a sprained MCL, but he was able to practice fully Wednesday and log a limited session Thursday, marking the first notable progress in his recovery. Reid also told Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com that Pacheco didn't have a setback, and his return to practice this week was "literally to see where he's at." Pacheco thus will turn his focus to a Thanksgiving Day game at Dallas, while Kareem Hunt will continue to lead the Chiefs backfield this weekend.

McCormick signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Friday.

McCormick was cut from San Francisco's practice squad Tuesday, but he's already found a new home in Arizona. The UTSA product's last in-game action came with the Raiders in 2024, when he appeared in five games and rushed 39 times for 183 yards across 105 total snaps (84 on offense, 21 on special teams).

White is set to maintain a larger role Sunday against the Rams, as Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports that Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) won't play.

White has been outperformed by Sean Tucker over Tampa Bay's past two games, but both running backs are expected to remain involved this weekend. Irving hasn't played since Week 4, and White has averaged 15.7 touches during Irving's absence, though Tucker led the Buccaneers with 21 touches compared to White's 12 in Week 11 against the Bills.

Tucker is poised to play a significant role Sunday against the Rams, as Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports that Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) won't play.

Irving has been sidelined since Week 4. Rachaad White led Tampa Bay's backfield for the majority of Irving's absence, but Tucker has pulled ahead of White in recent weeks, and Tucker cemented his spot as the top fill-in option with 140 scrimmage yards and three total touchdowns on 21 touches in Week 11 against the Bills. Replicating that production will be difficult Sunday against the Rams' stout defense, but Tucker's likely to lead Tampa Bay's backfield in touches, with White remaining involved to some extent.

Irving (shoulder/foot) won't play Sunday at the Rams, but Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Friday that the running back is trending toward a return Week 13 against Arizona, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The Buccaneers have listed Irving as a limited participant in five straight practices, dating back to the beginning of last week. He'll miss another game, but he's reportedly making progress, and Bowles even acknowledged recent rumors by telling reporters that Irving "didn't handle it well" when he was unable to practice or play. The implication seems to be that everything is going better now, though Irving will miss at least one more game when the Bucs face the Rams on Sunday night. Sean Tucker figures to get most of the carries after his three-TD outing last Sunday at Buffalo, with Rachaad White also having a role and likely taking most of the passing-down snaps.

The Cardinals signed Jefferson to their active roster Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

It's not a good sign for Trey Benson (knee) being activated from injured reserve this week, though the Cardinals also have other injury concerns in the backfield, with Emari Demercado (ankle) ruled out and Bam Knight expected to play through an ankle injury of his own. Jefferson has been with Arizona's practice squad since the beginning of October, but he won't necessarily get touches even if he's active Sunday against the Jaguars.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Benson (knee) has looked good in practice throughout the week, but Benson's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars will likely be determined based on how Friday's practice goes, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Benson was a limited participant at both Wednesday's and Thursday's practices after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. In order to play Sunday, Benson would first need to be activated from injured reserve and added back to the roster. Such a move remains in play, though the coaching staff will first want to see how Benson looks during Friday's practice. With Bam Knight (ankle) banged up and Emari Demercado (ankle) already ruled out for Sunday's game, Michael Carter is currently the only Cardinals running back that will definitely be available Sunday.

Jacobs (knee) will remain limited at practice Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

With regard to Jacobs' chances of playing Sunday against the Vikings, coach Matt LaFleur noted Friday that "It's a collective decision always." The Packers' upcoming injury report thus is slated to reveal whether the team's top running back has a chance to play this weekend, but if Jacobs is unavailable against Minnesota, Emanuel Wilson and, to a lesser degree, Chris Brooks would be in line for added work Week 12.
