  • Devine Ozigbo RB | DET

    Jaguars' Devine Ozigbo: Totals 30 yards Week 14

    Ozigbo caught all four of his targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Titans.

    Ozigbo's production is a bit misleading, as he played only six offensive snaps, and all four catches came on Jacksonville's final drive of the blowout loss. Dare Ogunbowale had one catch for 12 yards and operated as the backup to workhorse James Robinson for most of the contest.

  • Jordan Wilkins RB | CLE

    Colts' Jordan Wilkins: Involvement continues to fade

    Wilkins registered three yards on his lone carry and added a four-yard catch on two targets during Sunday's 44-27 win over the Raiders.

    When Jonathan Taylor suffered a minor ankle injury Week 8 against the Lions, Wilkins picked up the slack by amassing 113 scrimmage yards and a touchdown over 21 touches. His involvement has steadily deteriorated since, and he hasn't seen more than nine touches or 26 offensive snaps in five straight games. Wilkins will continue to serve as the No. 3 option behind Taylor and Nyheim Hines in Week 15's matchup against Houston's 31st-ranked rush defense.

  • John Kelly RB | CLE

    John Kelly: Shown door by Browns

    The Browns cut Kelly from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Kelly has been with the practice squad since the beginning of the season but was never elevated to the active roster. The 24-year-old running back has banked eight NFL games in his two-year career, posting 83 yards on 30 carries and 27 yards on two receptions.

  • 49ers' Jerick McKinnon: Has zero offensive role Week 14

    McKinnon did not receive an offensive snap during Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

    McKinnon tallied touchdowns in four consecutive games (over 47 touches) Weeks 1 through 4, but he's now gone scoreless in four straight, while his offensive role has completely dissipated. Raheem Mostert's Week 12 return from a high-ankle sprain has certainly played into McKinnon's reduced involvement, as the former Viking has gotten only five touches since that point. Jeff Wilson, too, has become a backfield fixture of late, with double-digit carries in two of the past three weeks.

  • Tommy Bohanon FB | BAL

    Tommy Bohanon: Cut by Ravens

    Bohanon was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Bohanon was cut for the second time in as many weeks. The 30-year-old running back has yet to play since his 2018 campaign with Jacksonville, when he played all 16 games in a reserve role.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Limited practice Tuesday

    Jacobs (ankle) was limited at Tuesday's practice.

    For a second consecutive day, the Raiders listed Jacobs as limited, only this time they held him out of practice. The team seems to be managing his reps with a short turnaround between games, but Wednesday's injury report may still leave the running back as a question mark for Thursday's game versus the Chargers. While Jacobs played through his ankle issue this past Sunday against the Colts, he logged a season-low share of the offensive snaps (43 percent) en route to 16 touches for 74 yards from scrimmage and no TDs.

  • Austin Ekeler RB | WAS

    Chargers' Austin Ekeler: Upgrades to limited

    Ekeler (quadriceps) was limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

    The Chargers have yet to hold practice this week, but Ekeler's upgrade from DNP on Monday to LP on Tuesday bodes well for his availability for Week 15. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether he's clear of his quad issue or carries an injury designation into Thursday's contest at Las Vegas.

  • Melvin Gordon RB | BAL

    Broncos' Melvin Gordon: DNP on Tuesday

    Gordon (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Gordon banged up his shoulder in the late stages of Denver's Week 14 victory at Carolina, ending the game with 13 carries for 68 yards and three receptions (on three targets) for 23 yards. Because the Broncos are operating on a short week ahead of Saturday's contest against the Bills, they may just be managing Gordon's reps, especially with Phillip Lindsay (hip) listed as limited Tuesday. With both of the team's top two running backs banged up, Royce Freeman is the only healthy member at the position on the active roster.

  • Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Unlikely to play Saturday

    Coach Matt Rhule doesn't expect McCaffrey (thigh) to return for Saturday's game at Green Bay, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    McCaffrey kicked off last week with a limited practice before the Panthers held him out thereafter and eventually made him inactive for the 10th time in 13 games this season. He also had a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walk-through, which may have served as a test to see what he could do with his thigh injury. Considering Rhule's statement, McCaffrey seems likely to be sidelined this weekend, giving him two more chances to play this season. In McCaffrey's place, Mike Davis again is slated to lead the Panthers backfield.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | JAC

    Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: No tread until garbage time

    Dallas rushed four times for seven yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.

    Dallas didn't log a carry until coach Pete Carroll opted to rest the starters at the end of the third quarter. When the rookie got on the field, he did little with his opportunities. As long as Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde are healthy, Dallas will be kept out of the game plan. That will be emphasized further once Rashaad Penny (knee) returns to the lineup.
