  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Out for Monday

    Warren (hamstring) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Colts, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Warren didn't practice all week, so it's hardly surprising to see the rookie unavailable. Najee Harris easily put together his best game of the season in Week 11 and will likely be tasked with the majority share of the backfield in Warren's absence.

  • Patrick Taylor: Joins Packers' practice squad

    The Packers signed Taylor to their practice squad Friday.

    Taylor has bounced on and off the Packers' active roster throughout the season. He was most recently waived Wednesday, though it didn't take long for him to rejoin the team. He has played in eight games on the campaign, with 78 of his 79 snaps coming on special teams.

  • Titans' Hassan Haskins: Week 12 status still uncertain

    Haskins (hip) is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Haskins was a limited participant Thursday after popping up with a hip injury, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. The 22-year-old running back remained limited during Friday's session, leaving his status for the Titans' Week 12 contest up in the air. Haskins has logged just one rushing attempt since carrying the ball a season-high nine times Week 2 against Buffalo, and he's primarily played on special teams over 10 games.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Added to injury report

    Jacobs is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after he was a limited participant in Friday's practice with a calf injury, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, but the running back's addition to the injury report Friday makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Ideally, added context with regard to Jacobs' status will arrive before the early wave of kickoffs this weekend, but if he's sidelined or available only in a limited capacity versus Seattle, more snaps at running back will be available for some combination of Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden and Zamir White.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Clear path to lead role Week 12

    Wilson is expected to serve as the Dolphins' clear lead back Sunday against the Texans with Raheem Mostert (knee) listed as doubtful for the game, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Since being acquired from the 49ers on Nov. 1, Wilson already appeared to have supplanted Mostert as the Dolphins' No. 1 back. In the two games following his acquisition, Wilson has outsnapped Mostert by a 67-43 margin and has out-touched him 31-21. Miami has Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin to fill Mostert's role, but at least as long as Sunday's game against the 1-8-1 Texans remains competitive, expect the Dolphins to rely more heavily on Wilson than usual. The 27-year-old has quickly proven to be a seamless fit in head coach Mike McDaniel's wide zone offense, averaging 6.5 yards on 26 carries while finding paydirt once as a runner and once as a receiver.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Sits out another practice

    Warren (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Though head coach Mike Tomlin said Warren's hamstring injury is "not a significant" one, the running back has now missed two straight practices. If Warren ends up out or limited Monday against the Colts, Benny Snell would be in line to handle complementary work behind Pittsburgh's top running back, Najee Harris.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Packers' Aaron Jones: Ready to roll

    Jones (shin/glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Jones has been dealing with a lower leg injury since Week 9 and was also listed with a glute issue this week, but there was never any indication of his availability for Sunday's game being in doubt. He'll continue to lead the Green Bay backfield ahead of AJ Dillon, though both tend to get a good amount of carries and their cumulative fantasy production has decreased this season with the Packers no longer among the NFC heavyweights.

  • Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Unlikely to play Week 12

    Mostert (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion Friday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Mostert, who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, is thus trending toward being ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Earlier Friday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post that he was "unwilling to bet against" Mostert suiting up Sunday, but the Dolphins are unlikely to take any chances with the banged-up running back while they face off against a 1-8-1 Texans squad that will enter the weekend as heavy road underdogs. If Mostert is sidelined as anticipated, the Dolphins would turn to Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin to handle complementary work behind Jeff Wilson, who profiles as the clear lead option sans Mostert.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: No injury designation

    Kamara (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

    The Saints listed Kamara as a full participant Friday after he missed practice Thursday, though multiple reporters said the running back left Friday's session early. Regardless, head coach Dennis Allen doesn't expect the illness to affect Kamara on Sunday, with the Saints apparently confident enough to leave their lead runner off the final injury report. Meanwhile, top backup Mark Ingram, who missed the past three games with a knee injury, is listed as questionable.

  • Marlon Mack RB | ARI

    Broncos' Marlon Mack: Should have role in Denver debut

    Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Mack will have a role in the game plan in Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. "He's going to have to go in there and take advantage of this opportunity...he's got a little extra burst," Hackett said of Mack.

    Denver signed Mack off San Francisco's practice squad Oct. 24, but the veteran running back has been a healthy inactive for each of the Broncos' subsequent three contests. However, with the Broncos waiving Melvin Gordon and placing Chase Edmonds (ankle) on injured reserve in recent days, Mack looks set to operate as the primary backup to starter Latavius Murray in Week 12. Though Murray projects to see most of the touches out of the backfield, he's averaging just 3.3 yards per carry through five games with Denver, so his grasp on the lead role would appear to be weak. With that in mind, Mack could have the chance to displace Murray atop the depth chart if he takes advantage of the opportunities he receives Sunday. However, both Murray and Mack could be challenged for work as soon as Week 13, when Mike Boone (ankle) is eligible to return from IR.
