Robinson recorded 17 rushes for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Dolphins. He added three receptions for 28 yards.

Robinson handled all of the carries out of the Jaguars' backfield, with Trevor Lawrence the only other player to register a rush attempt for the team. He didn't have many big gains, but he did record a 28-yard rush and also found the end zone from one yard out early in the third quarter. Robinson also chipped in as a receiver and logged multiple receptions for the first time in his last three games. Most importantly, Robinson remains a workhorse back, recording 15 or more carries in each of his last four contests.

Funk (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic.

It's unclear when Funk picked up the injury, but hamstring problems are unpredictable, and there's no clarity regarding his potential return to action. He wasn't expected to hold a big role on offense with Darrell Henderson and Sony Michel both available, though.

Williams (illness) wasn't reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Sunday's game against the Packers, Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

After he was revealed Thursday to have tested positive for COVID-19, Williams theoretically would have had a chance to play Sunday if fully vaccinated, but the running back unsurprisingly didn't clear all health and safety protocols ahead of the Week 6 contest. Khalil Herbert is expected to serve as the Bears' lead option on the ground against the Packers while Williams is sidelined and David Montgomery (knee) is on injured reserve. Meanwhile, Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce are on hand as depth options and could serve as change-of-pace alternatives to Herbert.

Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Minnesota, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Brown was elevated from the practice squad Saturday but won't be suiting up for Week 6. Royce Freeman will be the sole running back on the active roster behind starter Chuba Hubbard against the Vikings after Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) recently moved to injured reserve.

Williams (hip) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bengals.

Williams tended to a hip injury for a second week in a row, but an illness kept him off the field entirely from Thursday's practice. Still, he'll be out there Week 6 behind starter D'Andre Swift (groin), which so far has amounted to 14 touches per game this season for Williams.

Williams (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Williams was inactive for Week 4 before suiting up last week against the Colts and totaling six touches for 21 yards, and he's now inactive again for Week 6. Latavius Murray should lead Baltimore's backfield versus Los Angeles while Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell operate as the secondary options.

Gibson (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Gibson never practiced fully this week while he continues to battle a stress fracture in his shin, but Washington hasn't suggested his workload will be limited on account of the injury. While appearing on injury reports the past two weeks on account of the same issue, Gibson has averaged 17 touches between games against the Falcons and Saints.

Mixon (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Mixon, who practiced in a limited fashion Friday, continues to manage an ankle issue, but he'll be available Sunday, with Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site having previously noted that the team's top running back, who was limited to 10 carries in Week 5, is expected to get closer to his normal workload this time around. With Samaje Perine - who logged 11 carries last weekend - on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Chris Evans and Trayveon Williams are on hand to work in complementary roles behind Mixon versus the 0-5 Lions, who have allowed an average of 130.2 rushing yards per game to date.

Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Bengals.

Swift has been a regular on Lions injury reports this season, only to suit up every game day. He's been on the receiving end of at least 12 touches in each outing and averaged 88.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three TDs in five contests to date. Jamaal Williams, Swift's backfield mate, also entered the weekend as questionable but is available Sunday, so he'll continue to eat into the Swift's workload (Williams is averaging 14 touches per game himself).

Swift (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Lions have regularly been listing Swift as questionable for games after he sustained a groin injury in early August, but his availability for any week has never seemed to be in major peril. The second-year back's usage of late would seemingly hint that the Lions are becoming increasingly comfortable with his health; after playing between 55 and 68 percent of the offensive snaps through the first three weeks, he's logged 72 and 73 percent snap shares in Weeks 4 and 5, respectively.
