Mitchell carried the ball 22 times for 66 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks.

He didn't have a lot of success against a motivated Seattle front seven, with his longest run going for only nine yards, but Mitchell still salvaged his day with a two-yard TD in the first quarter. He also briefly left the game in the second half to be checked for a concussion, but he was able to return to action. Mitchell has seen huge volume in his last three games, amassing 290 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 76 carries, and the Niners will likely lean heavily on the rookie again in Week 14 against the Bengals.

Jacobs carried the ball 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown and caught all nine of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

He tied Hunter Renfrow for the team lead in receptions, as Derek Carr didn't show a lot of trust in any of his other options through the air, and Jacobs' one-yard TD plunge in the fourth quarter set the Raiders up to potentially tie the game at 14-14, but they weren't able to cash in a two-point conversion. The running back has reached 90 scrimmage yards with a touchdown in back-to-back games, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 14 battle with Kansas City.

Gibson carried the ball 23 times for 88 yards and caught five of six targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders.

He was the only Washington player to reach even 50 scrimmage yards on the day, and he capped his performance with a four-yard TD catch early in the fourth quarter. Gibson has piled up 358 rushing yards, 72 receiving yards and three total touchdowns in four games since Washington's bye, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 14 clash with the Cowboys.

Drake broke his ankle in Sunday's loss to Washington and will miss the rest of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Drake's leg was rolled up on when he was tackled on his third touch of the day, and his injury will wind up costing him the rest of the campaign. With Drake unavailable the rest of the way, Jalen Richard will likely pick up his work on passing downs when he comes off the COVID-19 list, and Peyton Barber could also see more work when starter Josh Jacobs needs a breather.

Gainwell carried the ball 12 times for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets. He added five receptions for 33 yards.

Gainwell worked as the backup to Miles Sanders with Jordan Howard (knee) inactive and Boston Scott (illness) seemingly not at full strength. As a result, he saw the second-highest carry total of his career and had by far his most productive day on the ground in terms of total yards. The highlight of his performance came late in the second quarter when he reached the end zone on an 18-yard scamper during which he ducked through several defenders. Gainwell also tallied multiple receptions for the second consecutive game, and he's combined to record eight catches for 86 yards in that span. The Eagles may prefer the veteran combination of Howard and Scott behind Sanders in the backfield moving forward, but Gainwell was impressive with his opportunity Sunday.

Wilson exited Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with an unspecified injury, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.

It's not exactly clear when Wilson picked up the injury, but it likely contributed to him receiving zero touches in Sunday's contest. More about Wilson's status should be known when head coach Kyle Shanahan provides another update Monday.

Robinson ran for 24 yards on eight carries against the Rams on Sunday.

Robinson lost a fumble in the first quarter and saw his playing time mostly cease in favor of Carlos Hyde, who ran for 24 yards and one touchdown on nine carries while losing a fumble of his own. The idea that Robinson should get pulled for one mistake, especially in favor of a player like Hyde, is the sort of ridiculousness that would barely seem possible with any other organization, but the Urban Meyer Jaguars are innovators in failure, and by now it's difficult to see how that changes until new people are in charge. After the game Meyer tried to evade responsibility when speaking to the press, saying on the one hand that Robinson's playing time was the prerogative of running backs coach Bernie Parmalee while at another point implying Robinson's foot and heel injuries might have affected his playing time. It will be worth monitoring Robinson's practice activity throughout the week, but if healthy he'll likely be the best player on the Jaguars offense as they take on the Titans in Week 14.

Harris rushed 21 times for 71 yards while hauling in all five of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Ravens.

Harris had been limited to just 96 yards from scrimmage on 28 touches across the last two weeks, but he had plenty of volume in Sunday's narrow victory. The rookie has now topped 20 carries in four of his six appearances since Pittsburgh's Week 7 bye, but he's averaged just 3.4 yards per carry during that time. He'll face a more favorable opponent during next week's matchup against Minnesota.

Edwards-Helaire (illness) is listed as active Sunday against the Broncos, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Edwards-Helaire was absent from Friday's practice due to an illness and entered the weekend with a questionable designation. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Sunday that Edwards-Helaire participated in a walkthrough session Saturday and was slated to be available for Week 13 action, which has come to pass. In the five contests in which he's handled at least 45 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps this season, Edwards-Helaire has averaged 15.8 touches for 83.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three total TDs.

Mitchell (head) returned to Sunday's contest at Seattle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

After being examined for a possible concussion early in the fourth quarter, Mitchell returned for the 49ers' first possession of the period. He'll continue to operate as the team's lead runner.
