Drake (ankle) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After releasing a practice estimate Monday, the Cardinals took the field Tuesday, while Drake maintained his limited listing for a second straight day. He logged limited sessions last week as well before handling 52 percent of the snaps on offense this past Sunday against the Bills, racking up 17 touches for 109 yards from scrimmage in the process. Meanwhile, backup running back Chase Edmonds notched 11 touches for 77 total yards on a 49-percent share of those plays. Assuming Arizona has Drake available Thursday at Seattle, a similar breakdown of RB reps is the likely outcome.

Dobbins had five carries for 13 yards against the Patriots and added a one-yard reception.

Mark Ingram's return muddled the backfield rotation Sunday, and Dobbins' production was impacted as a result. He played fewer than 50 percent of the snaps for the first time since Week 6, and his carries dropped to the single digits for the first time since then as well. Dobbins has just one game with more than 50 yards and has not scored a touchdown since the season opener. With Ingram back, Dobbins may be ticketed for frustrating workloads down the stretch.

Johnson garnered zero offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps during Sunday's 10-7 win against the Texans.

With Nick Chubb returning from a knee injury that had held him out since Oct. 4, Johnson was relegated to a special-teams role. Johnson's involvement in the offense had been fading in recent appearances, as he only accumulated 51 scrimmage yards on 17 combined offensive touches Weeks 5 through 10, after racking up 95 yards on 13 carries in the game in which Chubb went down against the Cowboys in Week 4. Heading into a matchup against the Eagles, Johnson sits a distant third on Cleveland's RB depth chart behind Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

Mattison registered four rushing yards on two carries during Monday night's 19-13 win against the Bears.

During a contest in which neither team led by more than six points at any juncture of the game, Dalvin Cook expectedly shouldered the bulk of the workload, fielding 30 of 32 running back carries and 94.4 percent of the overall RB touches on the night. An approaching Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys' 31st-ranked rush defense would provide opportunities to Mattison in a scenario where the game gets out of hand, and Cook ultimately yields second-half carries to the backup. Mattison was able to rack up 69 rushing yards on 12 attempts during a 14-point win over Detroit in Week 9.

Coach Kyle Shanahan hopes Mostert (ankle) will be available for the 49ers' next game Sunday, Nov. 29 versus the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Shanahan echoed the same thoughts about Tevin Coleman (knee), which would give San Francisco its top two running backs following its Week 11 bye. If that happens, the backfield could be composed of Mostert, Coleman, Jerick McKinnon (neck) and Austin Walter, with Jeff Wilson (ankle) and JaMycal Hasty (collarbone) still on IR.

The 49ers placed Hasty (collarbone) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Now that he's on IR, Hasty will need to remain there for three weeks before the team can open a 21-day window to return him to the active roster. With the 49ers on bye Week 11, he'll potentially only miss two games as a result, with his earliest possible next appearance lining up to be Sunday, Dec. 13 against Washington. Currently, San Francisco has one fully healthy RB in Austin Walter, two injured backs -- Tevin Coleman (knee) and Jerick McKinnon (neck) -- on the active roster, and three backfield options -- Raheem Mostert (ankle), Jeff Wilson (ankle) and Hasty -- on IR.

Kelley carried the ball seven times for 21 yards in the 29-21 loss Sunday to the Dolphins.

After seeing a season high in snaps last week, Kelley completely fell to the wayside in favor of Kalen Ballage. At this point, it's clear the Chargers are trying to pivot away from giving meaningful opportunities for the rookie running back, which makes sense considering Kelley is averaging just 3.2 yards-per-carry across nearly 100 attempts this year. With the imminent return of Austin Ekeler (hamstring), it wouldn't be surprising at all to see Ballage replace Kelley as the between-the-tackles back, essentially rendering the 22-year-old tough to roster in most fantasy formats.

Freeman ran for 11 yards on two carries and added two catches on two targets for 15 yards during Sunday's loss in Las Vegas.

Box scores can be deceiving. On the surface, Freeman garnered as many touches Sunday as Phillip Lindsay and produced 24 more yards. In reality, three of Freeman's touches came during Denver's final drive of the game in a blowout loss. The third-year back remains a solid option in the passing game both as a blocker and receiver, a necessity given Lindsay's struggles in both areas. Sunday was not the beginning of a shift toward more Freeman in Denver's offense, however. Expect his work to be limited primarily to third downs Sunday against Miami, as his ability to pick up blitzes should be useful against an aggressive Dolphins defense.

Clement rushed once for five yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.

Clement is primarily a special-teams player with Miles Sanders now back healthy. Even in the three games this season in which the 26-year-old has seen double-digit snaps, he has failed to top six carries or 24 rushing yards.

Cook rushed 30 times for 96 yards and caught all four of his targets for 16 yards in Monday night's 19-13 win over the Bears.

Cook was smothered by a swarming Chicago defense for the majority of Monday's game, but he finally broke off some longer runs with opposing lineman Akiem Hicks (hamstring) sidelined during the fourth quarter. With the Vikings protecting a late lead, they also turned to Cook to bleed the clock, enabling him to match his season high with 30 carries. Overall, that volume along with his four receptions helped Cook top 100 yards from scrimmage once again, salvaging production despite not scoring for the first time this season. After that tough matchup, Cook will now look forward to Week 11's game against a Cowboys defense that's allowed the second-most rushing yards per game thus far.
