LeVante Bellamy RB | DEN
Broncos' LeVante Bellamy: Promoted from practice squad
Bellamy signed to Denver's active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
The 24-year-old will rejoin the Broncos' active roster with Phillip Lindsay (hip/knee) landing on injured reserve. Bellamy is without a touch in three games this season, but he could work as the secondary tailback behind Melvin Gordon if Royce Freeman (hip), who is listed as questionable, is unable to play Sunday against the Chargers.

Jake Bargas RB | NO
Jake Bargas: Back to practice squad
Bargas reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
An undrafted rookie out of North Carolina, Bargas made his NFL debut in Friday's 52-33 loss to the Saints because starting fullback C.J. Ham (quadriceps) was inactive. Bargas played seven of 64 snaps on offense but didn't touch the ball.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
49ers' Jeff Wilson: Tops 200 total yards
Wilson carried the ball 22 times for 183 yards in Week 16 against the Cardinals. He added one reception for 21 yards and a touchdown.
Wilson worked as the clear lead back for the 49ers, accounting for 22 of the team's 30 rushing attempts. He tallied the team's first touchdown, hauling in a pass over the middle of the field before beating a number of defenders on a 21-yard dash to the end zone. Wilson also added plenty of production on the ground, including explosive gains of 34, 25 and 23 yards. With Raheem Mostert (ankle) ruled out for the remainder of the season, Wilson should be in line to handle the majority of carries in Week 17 against Seattle.

Ezekiel Elliott RB | LAC
Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Expected to play Sunday
Elliott (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Elliott is on track to return to the lineup after missing last week's win over the 49ers. Tony Pollard shined in his absence, generating 132 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. It's possible that Pollard handles a few more reps after proving himself last week, but Elliott should still be the lead back if he's, indeed, in the lineup.

Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Cardinals' Chase Edmonds: Won't return to Saturday's game
Edmonds (hip) won't return to Saturday's game against the 49ers, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Arizona Republic reports.
Edmonds caught two passes for eight yards before departing in the second quarter. Kenyan Drake is the clear-cut lead back for the rest of the game, while Jonathan Ward and D.J. Foster should rotate in occasionally.

Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Cardinals' Chase Edmonds: Leaves with hip injury
Edmonds left Saturday's game against the 49ers with a hip injury and is deemed questionable to return.
Edmonds left early in the first half with an apparent hip injury. Kenyan Drake will take on an extended role with Jonathan Ward possibly getting additional snaps.

James Robinson RB | NO
Jaguars' James Robinson: Officially out Sunday
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.
-
Craig Reynolds RB | WAS
Jaguars' Craig Reynolds: Bumps to active roster
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.
-
La'Mical Perine RB | PIT
Jets' La'Mical Perine: Activated off IR
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.
-
J.J. Taylor RB | HOU
Patriots' J.J. Taylor: Carries questionable tag
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.
