Williams played five offensive snaps Sunday in the Bengals' loss to the Giants, catching a pass for 13 yards and running once while losing two yards.

The carry was one more than fellow backup Samaji Perine received, with Giovani Bernard getting the lion's share of work. It's not at all clear the Bengals are interested in seeing more from him the rest of the way.

Perine saw the field for only seven offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Giants, catching one pass for two yards without getting any carries.

Perine went from being a contested free-agent pickup in the middle of the week when Giovani Bernard's concussion was announced to a droppable player by Sunday, when it was clear that Bernard would play after all.

Scott rushed twice for seven yards and caught five of six targets for 40 yards in Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Scott trailed only Dallas Goedert for Philadelphia's team lead in receptions. Despite the presence of Miles Sanders ahead of him on the depth chart, Scott has persisted as a useful change-of-pace threat, with his versatility as a pass-catcher working as an added bonus. Look for him to remain in the mix as a complementary piece in Week 13 versus the Packers.

Sanders rushed six times for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for seven yards in Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Sanders was hardly involved on a night Philadelphia threw the ball 46 times. In fact, the tailback barely topped quarterback Carson Wentz's five rushing attempts for his team's lead in the category. With minimal production through the air either, it was a forgettable display from Sanders, who easily set a new season low in scrimmage yards. The usually dynamic back will aim for a rebound effort in Week 13 versus a Packers defense that's been prone to allowing chunk plays to runners lately.

Edmonds had six carries for 29 yards and four catches (on five targets) for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss at New England.

On a day in which the Cardinals couldn't get much going through the air -- Kyler Murray averaged a measly 5.0 yards per attempt -- Edmonds' slight contribution as a receiver helped him finish third among the team's skill-position players with 43 yards from scrimmage. Only Kenyan Drake (93) and DeAndre Hopkins (55) compiled more such yards. In the 10 games that Drake has been available this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.2 touches for 56.7 total yards per game while scoring four TDs, so the latter still has utility when used as a complementary option out of Arizona's backfield.

Dobbins (illness) and Mark Ingram (illness) will be eligible to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Wednesday's matchup with the Steelers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The game was postponed again from Tuesday to Wednesday, potentially providing the pair of running backs the chance to rejoin the active roster ahead of the contest. The fact it's now possible doesn't definitively mean it will happen, but their minimum isolation period will have expired. Regardless, the return of Dobbins or Ingram would be a big boost for the Ravens, who already will be without quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness).

Foreman carried the ball four times for 28 yards in Week 12 against the Colts.

Foreman saw his volume rebound in the Titans' blowout win after receiving only one carry in Week 11. However, he contributed a bit even when the game was close, recording gains of five and 12 yards on a touchdown-scoring drive that put the Titans up 28-14. Foreman continues to split backup duties with Jeremy McNichols.

McNichols carried the ball eight times for 20 yards in Week 12 against the Colts.

McNichols saw the relatively high workload as the Titans maintained a three-touchdown lead for the entire second half. While the game was competitive, Derrick Henry dominated the backfield and logged 17 carries in the first half. McNichols continues to share backup running back duties with D'Onta Foreman.

Laird fumbled his lone nine-yard carry during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.

The Dolphins never lost control of Sunday's divisional victory over the Jets, despite recording a total of four fumbles as a team, but Laird's contribution to that statistic certainly won't earn him praise from the coaching staff. He has just four carries on the season.

Jacobs (ankle) has a shot to suit up against the Jets on Sunday despite his sprained ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jacobs' medical evaluations Monday confirmed that he's avoided any sort of major injury and is simply dealing with an ankle sprain. It looks as though he has a fair shot to take the field Week 13, depending on how well he holds up at practice. If Jacobs were to miss any time, however, Devontae Booker would be the favorite to lead Las Vegas' backfield.
