Ozigbo reverted to New England's practice squad Monday.

Ozigbo was elevated to the active roster ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Colts but failed to see any snaps. He's appeared in three games so far this season, registering one carry for minus-3 yards and one reception for seven yards.

Cook rushed 28 times for 89 yards and brought in two of three targets for two yards in the Vikings' 17-9 win over the Bears on Monday night.

Cook had to work for every blade of grass Monday, with the 3.2 yards per carry he averaged qualifying as his lowest since the Week 1 overtime loss to the Bengals. The fifth-year back's night was exponentially more difficult than his 205-yard outburst against the Steelers in Week 14, but Cook helped churn out some key yards and kept the defense from keying even further on Kirk Cousins, who was still sacked four times and hit on seven occasions overall. Cook has cleared the 80-yard mark in five of the last six games heading into a critical Week 16 home date against the Rams.

Herbert caught three of four targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Herbert did most of his damage on receptions in the final minutes of the game. Otherwise, he saw occasional change-of-pace work. Unless David Montgomery misses time, Herbert won't likely see enough work to be a major factor in the fantasy playoffs.

Montgomery rushed 18 times for 60 yards and caught five passes for 23 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Montgomery had a number of successful runs up the middle early in the game, but with the Bears going with a run-heavy approach, the Vikings began to place the focus of the defense on him, resulting in a number of runs for no gain or lost yardage. With Chicago largely unable to move the ball consistently, he had no chances to carry the ball near the end zone. Although he'll have a couple tough upcoming matchups against the Seahawks and Giants, Montgomery's volume as both a runner and receiver ensures he'll be a strong option in the fantasy playoffs.

Johnson rushed once for minus-2 yards and caught all four of his targets for 17 yards in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Raiders.

Johnson was a non-factor on the ground behind workhorse Nick Chubb, who mustered 91 yards and a touchdown on 23 rushing attempts. He played a scaled-down version of the third-down back role normally occupied by Kareem Hunt, who's currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list while also dealing with an ankle injury, and Johnson actually tied Donovan Peoples-Jones for the team lead in catches. Given his role in this one, Johnson will be tough to trust Week 16 against the Packers, even if Hunt isn't ready to return.

Jacobs rushed 15 times for 52 yards and caught three of four targets for 42 yards in Monday's 16-14 win over Cleveland.

Jacobs still hasn't reached 100 rushing yards in a game this season, but he came six yards from breaking 100 scrimmage yards for the second time. He continues to struggle on the ground but has been much more involved as a pass catcher recently, totaling 17 receptions for 126 yards over the past three games for a Raiders team with a dearth of receiving options besides Hunter Renfrow. Peyton Barber (five carries for 34 yards) mixed in with fresh legs on occasion, but Jacobs should remain the leading man in the Vegas backfield in Week 16 against the Broncos.

Chubb rushed 23 times for 91 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Raiders.

Chubb was bottled up early on but got going in the third quarter after a fumble recovery by the defense set the Browns up in Raiders territory. The running back then ripped off a 24-yard run -- his longest of the game -- and followed it up with a four-yard touchdown run three plays later. Chubb also had a would-be 11-yard touchdown run called back on a penalty in the fourth quarter. The Browns took a 14-13 lead by scoring on that drive anyway, but Chubb failed to pick up a first down on the ensuing drive when they had a chance to salt the game away, and the Raiders ended up kicking a game-winning field goal as time expired. As long as Cleveland doesn't fall behind by too much too quickly against the Packers in Week 16, Chubb should see another hefty workload on the ground, regardless of whether fellow running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) -- who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list in addition to being injured -- is ready to play.

Igwebuike gained no yards and lost one fumble on two carries while catching two of two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 30-12 win over the Cardinals.

While Igwebuike (nine offensive snaps) saw more playing time than Jermar Jefferson (six), both watched as Craig Reynolds (42) reached triple-digit rushing yards on 26 carries. With Jamaal Williams now off the reserve/COVID-19 list and D'Andre Swift slated to test his shoulder in practice this week, Igwebuike's role only stands to diminish as the health of his teammates improve.

Jefferson rushed five times for nine yards during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.

Jefferson seemed slated for a large role in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams, but he ultimately logged just six offensive snaps while Craig Reynolds (42) and Godwin Igwebuike (nine) carried more of the load. With Williams now off the reserve/COVID-19 list and Swift set to test his shoulder in practice this week, Jefferson stands to see even less playing time Week 16 against Atlanta.

Foreman was limited by an ankle injury at Monday's walkthrough, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Foreman has built himself up to have the upper hand in the Titans backfield in the wake of Derrick Henry hitting injured reserve due to a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Since joining the team ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Rams, Foreman has 85 touches for 456 yards and one rushing TD in six games. Meanwhile, Dontrell Hilliard and Jeremy McNichols have combined for 79 touches during that span. The team may just be managing Foreman's health with a Thursday game versus the Cardinals on the docket. Still, his status should be monitored to ensure he's available Week 15.
