NFL Player News

Swift (groin), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Baltimore, is likely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Swift missed one practice and was limited in two others during the week, but the lack of a full session isn't expected to prevent him from playing Sunday. He logged the same practice regimen last week, when he ultimately suited up and handled 20 touches for 138 yards in a win over New Orleans. Swift now appears set to suit up again this weekend against a Ravens squad that has given up the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season.

Hall (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hall dealt with a knee injury throughout the week and was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. However, the fourth-year tailback was able to practice in full Friday, setting him up to take the field against the Bengals, barring a setback. He'll again be getting the ball handed and tossed to him by Justin Fields, who was announced as the team's starting quarterback for Week 8 on Saturday after some uncertainty about a change under center during the week. Veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8.

The Patriots elevated Jennings from their practice squad Saturday.

Jennings was also elevated each of the past two weeks. He played exclusive on special teams in Week 6 against New Orleans before logging eight offensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps last Sunday versus Tennessee, carrying five times for 18 yards. Jennings has now been elevated three times, so he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be eligible to suit up for the Patriots after this weekend.

Davis was elevated to the Cowboys' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

With Miles Sanders (knee/ankle) and Phil Mafah (shoulder) both on injured reserve, Davis' elevation provides the Cowboys with running-back depth. The Florida product was active for Dallas' Week 7 win over the Commanders, failing to record an offensive stat across 19 total snaps (18 on special teams, one on offense). He's expected to play a similar role in the Week 8 matchup against the Broncos on Sunday.

Hunt (ankle/knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Commanders.

Hunt didn't practice Thursday due to ankle and knee injuries, but he was able to log a full session Saturday to fade an injury tag heading into Monday night's contest. Hunt has logged 53 carries for 205 yards and three touchdowns while adding seven catches (on eight targets) for 55 yards through seven regular-season games.

Head coach Andy Reid said Saturday that Hunt (ankle/knee) is expected to play against the Commanders on Monday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Hunt was back at practice Friday and Saturday after missing Thursday's session, and it appears the veteran running back will be available for Week 8 after working through ankle and knee injuries. Hunt and Isiah Pacheco will continue to serve as the Chiefs' one-two punch out of the backfield while rookie Brashard Smith provides depth.

Hines reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Hines and Jaret Patterson were both elevated to the Chargers' active roster for Thursday's game against the Vikings due to the absences of Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle). Hines saw just seven snaps (four on offense, three on special teams) while logging two carries for minus-2 yards, and he was the Chargers' clear RB3 behind Kimani Vidal (54 offensive snaps) and Patterson (15 offensive snaps). Hines has been elevated from the practice squad by the Chargers three times this season, which is the maximum amount. He would have to be signed to the active roster in order to play for the Chargers for the rest of the season.

Patterson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Patterson was signed to the Chargers' practice squad Oct. 14 and joined fellow running back Nyheim Hines as gameday elevations for Thursday's game against the Vikings due to Hassan Haskins (hamstring) being inactive. Patterson ended up playing 15 snaps on offense and turned 11 carries into 30 yards, with six of those carries coming in the fourth quarter with the Chargers holding a commanding lead. Hines has already been elevated by the Chargers from the practice squad for the maximum three times, so Patterson would be a candidate to be promoted to the active roster for Week 9 against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 2.

The Saints waived Jones on Friday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Friday marks the second time this season that the Saints have cut Jones from the active roster, with the most recent move corresponding with New Orleans claiming tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden off waivers from the Ravens. Jones could remain in New Orleans as a member of the team's practice squad, though the Saints already have a running back on the scout team in Audric Estime. Jones played for the Saints in their first five games of the regular season, and he accumulated 183 yards on eight kickoff returns over that span.

Jacobs (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs played through the same injury last week in a win at Arizona, taking 14 touches for 58 yards and two TDs on 53 percent snap share. He should be tasked with his full workload again now that he's seemingly closer to 100 percent.
