Robinson (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Bears.

This was reported earlier by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but it's now been officially confirmed by the team. Devine Ozigbo and Dare Ogunbowale are now set to take on the difficult task of replacing Robinson's production in the starting lineup.

The Jaguars elevated Reynolds to the active roster Saturday.

Reynolds made his Jaguars debut back in Week 12 against the Browns, but he didn't play a snap on offense. With James Robinson (ankle) expected to sit out, Reynolds could garner some offensive snaps this Sunday against the Bears. However, he's still in a crowded backfield along with Dare Ogunbowale, Devine Ozigbo and Nathan Cottrell.

Perine (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Perine hasn't played since suffering an injury during Week 11, but he'll make a return to New York's active roster with the team coming off the heels of its first win of the season. The fourth-round pick saw at least six carries in each of the last five games, though it remains to be seen if that workload will return with Ty Johnson and Josh Adams contributing more in recent weeks.

Taylor (quadricep) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Bills, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Taylor battled through this injury last week. With a week of limited practices behind him, Taylor is on the right track for Monday night's matchup against the Bills. The 22-year-old running back played just five snaps on offense last week; he'll likely remain in a reserve role this week, especially if Damien Harris (ankle) is active.

Swift rushed 10 times for 45 yards and lost a fumble in Saturday's 47-7 loss to the Buccaneers. He added four catches on five targets for 25 yards.

Swift didn't have a chance to get going in this one, as Detroit lost starting quarterback Matthew Stafford to an ankle injury on its first drive and was buried in a 34-0 hole by halftime. On the bright side, Swift still led the team in rushing yards and finished second to Danny Amendola in receiving yards. The rookie should find more running room in Week 17 against the Vikings, who just gave up six touchdowns to Saints running back Alvin Kamara.

Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bills, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Harris logged a pair of limited sessions last week before he was eventually ruled out for last Sunday's contest at Miami. His ankle issue lingered into this week, capping his practice reps yet again Thursday through Saturday. There's a chance Harris' status comes down to a game-time decision, which is precarious for fantasy purposes with a Monday night battle on tap. If Harris doesn't suit up Week 16, the Patriots will lean on Sony Michel out of the backfield, with James White handling pass-catching work and J.J. Taylor (quadriceps, questionable) potentially available.

Robinson (ankle) is not expected to play Sunday against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Robinson didn't practice all week so it wouldn't exactly be a surprise if the rookie running back is actually ruled out as Rapoport reports, but the team has not officially made the designation. If Robinson is ultimately ruled out, expect Devine Ozigbo and Dare Ogunbowale to split the majority of the workload against a tough Bears defense.

Edmonds (ankle/knee) is active for Saturday's game versus the 49ers.

Edmonds again will take the field somewhat compromised, marking his second straight contest doing so. In Week 15, he racked up 14 touches for 66 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD. Edmonds will continue to work in tandem with Kenyan Drake out of the Cardinals backfield.

Murray rushed 12 times for 72 yards and caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.

After three straight duds, Murray came alive on Christmas Day, racking up 96 total yards -- his second-highest mark of the season. The performance should be taken with a grain of salt, as New Orleans racked up nearly 600 yards of total offense in the blowout victory. Murray gets another quality matchup with Carolina in Week 17, where he'll look to finish the regular season on a high note.

Cook rushed 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for 12 yards in the Vikings' 52-33 loss to the Saints on Friday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by the offense.

The Vikings were constantly in trail mode throughout the afternoon, and while the deficit wasn't always untenable, it was enough to eventually force the Vikings to go more pass heavy than ideal. Cook still churned out an efficient performance against yet another tough run defense after having averaged 5.1 yards per rush against the Buccaneers and Bears the previous two games. The third-year pro was also significantly outshined by Saints counterpart Alvin Kamara, who tied an NFL record with six touchdowns. Cook now boasts a career-high 1,557 rush yards and 16 rushing touchdowns on the season, marks he'll look to build on in Minnesota's regular-season finale against the vulnerable Lions in Week 17.
