  • Qadree Ollison RB | PIT

    Qadree Ollison: Reverted to practice squad

    Ollison was reverted back to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

    The running back had two rushing attempts for seven yards and a catch for eight yards in the team's Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers. With Cordarrelle Patterson, Mike Davis and Wayne Gallman all available, it appears like Ollison is mostly the odd man out in Atlanta.

  • Damien Harris RB | BUF

    Patriots' Damien Harris: Picks up hamstring injury

    Harris injured his hamstring during Monday's game at Buffalo.

    Harris made an early exit just ahead of halftime after he appeared to come up gimpy at the end of a carry. While he's officially deemed questionable to return, he jogged back to the sideline a few minutes after the Pats made this announcement. If Harris doesn't retake the field, though, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden will man New England's backfield the rest of the way.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | MIN

    Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Minimal usage in win

    Dallas didn't record a touch in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers. He returned five kicks for 133 yards.

    Dallas logged just two offensive snaps while Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and Adrian Peterson all played at least 18 snaps. However, Dallas had his best game as a returner this season. With Alex Collins (abdomen) expected to return next week against the Texans, Dallas isn't expected to get much tread on offense.

  • 49ers' JaMycal Hasty: Only back to escape Sunday healthy

    Hasty (ankle) logged just one offensive snap and did not receive a touch in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Hasty returned from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury. The 25-year-old exited the contest as the lone healthy back after Elijah Mitchell (concussion), Jeff Wilson (knee) and Trenton Cannon (concussion) all suffered injuries. Mitchell will enter the league's concussion protocol while Wilson's situation will receive more clarity during practice this week. Hasty will see a bump in usage should either of the aforementioned backs miss Sunday's tilt against the Bengals. If both Mitchell and Wilson miss the contest, Hasty would become the 49ers' top back and gain a huge boost in Week 14 value, making him a decent speculative waiver add.

  • Deon Jackson RB | DET

    Colts' Deon Jackson: First touchdown of career

    Jackson rushed six times for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.

    Jackson capped off a nine-play, 40-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run -- the first of his career -- to extend the Colts' lead to 31-0 late in the fourth quarter. The rookie has only been seen the field in garbage time this year, and the primary handcuffs to Jonathan Taylor likely remain Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack; therefore, Jackson doesn't warrant much fantasy consideration.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Bills' Zack Moss: Avoids inactive list Monday

    Moss is active for Monday's game against the Patriots.

    Moss was a healthy scratch in the Bills' last game on Thanksgiving at New Orleans, yielding RB reps to Devin Singletary and Matt Breida. It's unclear how offensive coordinator Brian Daboll intends to reincorporate Moss into the lineup, but he may be available due to the need for a consistent ground game due to the windy and snowy conditions in Buffalo on Monday. On the season, Moss has averaged 3.5 yards on his 75 carries, reeled in 18 of 26 targets for 166 yards and scored five total TDs in nine appearances.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    49ers' Jeff Wilson: Hurts knee in Week 13

    Wilson sustained a knee injury during Sunday's loss in Seattle, but he should be able to practice this week, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    After the game, coach Kyle Shanahan noted Wilson came out of it hobbled but didn't note a body part. On Monday, Shanahan said Wilson's knee "flared up." As a result, Wednesday's injury report will give an indication of his level of health. With Elijah Mitchell and Trenton Cannon in the concussion protocol, the 49ers have just one healthy running back (JaMycal Hasty) on the active roster.

  • 49ers' Elijah Mitchell: In concussion protocol

    Mitchell entered the concussion protocol Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Mitchell was checked for a concussion in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Seattle but was cleared to return. He eventually finished with 22 carries for 66 yards and one touchdown and added three catches (on three targets) for 18 yards. Having said that, coach Kyle Shanahan relayed that Mitchell reported concussion symptoms Monday morning and now will be subject to the five phases of the protocol for head injuries to receive clearance for game action. Mitchell's activity level thus will be of keen interest once the 49ers resume practicing midweek. If he's able to log a limited session Wednesday and/or Thursday, he'd be trending in a positive direction ahead of Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

  • Patriots' Brandon Bolden: Suiting up Monday

    Bolden (knee) is listed as active Monday at Buffalo.

    After putting in three limited sessions in advance of this contest, Bolden was considered questionable for Week 13 action. Now that he's officially available to the offense, he'll join lead runner Damien Harris and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson in the Patriots backfield. With swirling wind and snowy conditions in Buffalo, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels may rely more on the ground game than usual, but it remains to be seen if that'll be a boon for Bolden. On the season, Bolden has averaged 5.4 yards on his 26 carries and gathered in 31 of 33 targets for 296 yards and one TD.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Vikings' Kene Nwangwu: Works as secondary back

    Nwangwu had two carries for zero yards, caught two of three targets for four yards and returned two kickoffs for 65 yards during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Lions.

    Nwangwu operated as Minnesota's No. 2 tailback with Dalvin Cook (shoulder) sidelined, but the rookie still played only nine offensive snaps. Alexander Mattison unsurprisingly dominated the backfield work with 22 carries and three receptions. Nwangwu is unlikely to have a significant offensive role while one of Cook or Mattison is healthy.
