Cook (groin) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Cook briefly exited Sunday's game after appearing to pull his groin while hauling in a short catch, but he's managed to retake the field in the same quarter he left. The star running back had 23 touches in the first half, and he'll look to remain busy as the Week 5 contest continues.

Scott carried the ball once for three yards in Week 5 against the Steelers.

Scott was factored out of the contest as the Eagles' running backs accounted for just 12 rushing attempts. His role has steadily declined as Miles Sanders has worked up to full strength, logging 19 attempts in five contests. At this point, Scott is solely a handcuff to Sanders in the case of an injury.

Cook is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Seahawks due to a groin injury.

Cook pulled up awkwardly after making a short catch early in the third quarter, and he limped to the locker room under his own strength after taking a brief knee on the sideline. Count on Alexander Mattison to inherit the majority of Minnesota's backfield touches as long as Cook remains off the field, with Ameer Abdullah and Mike Boone backing him up.

Taylor carried 12 times for 57 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches (on three targets) for 17 yards during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns.

Taylor managed a respectable 4.8 yards per carry against a solid Browns defense while scoring a four-yard touchdown to get his team on the board in the first quarter. Unfortunately, the running game was limited as Cleveland raced out to a big lead in the third quarter and he wasn't used much as a pass catcher. Still, it was something of an encouraging sign that Taylor managed respectable fantasy production in the face of adversity. He could bounce back in a big way in next Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Cook (undisclosed) went to the locker room after limping off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Cook limped off the field with what looked like a groin or quadriceps injury after hauling in a short throw from Kirk Cousins. He had 47 percent of the Vikings' offensive touches in the first half, in the form of 17 carries for 65 yards and a score, in addition to five catches for 24 yards (on five targets). Alexander Mattison will serve as the Vikings' top running back as long as Cook is off the field.

Mostert carried 11 times for 90 yards and added 29 yards on three receptions (three targets) during Sunday's 43-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Mostert gashed the Dolphins defense for 8.2 yards per carry but saw his work on the ground limited by a surprisingly lopsided scoreline. He produced effectively with the targets he received but didn't have many red zone opportunities as C.J. Beathard replaced Jimmy Garoppolo in the second half. Most importantly, Mostert looked strong after recovering from a recent knee injury and will hope for a more favorable game script in next Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Elliott carried the ball 19 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns and caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Giants.

After plowing into the end zone from a yard out in the second quarter, Elliott scored his second TD in the third on an emotional 12-yard run, capping the drive on which Dak Prescott suffered a likely season-ending ankle injury. With Andy Dalton now forced to take the reins of the Dallas offense, Elliott could be leaned on even more heavily to help steady things while the team adjusts to its new QB, beginning in Week 6 against Arizona.

Edwards registered 25 rushing yards on seven attempts, recording zero receptions on three targets during Sunday's 27-3 win against Cincinnati.

The 25-year-old back ranked second to Mark Ingram in Ravens carries, but his 3.6 yards-per-carry average ran contrary to the explosive 6.2 YPC clip he established Weeks 1 through 4. Despite the efficiency he displayed prior to Sunday, Edwards still resides within a workshare alongside Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Eagles.

Conner carried the ball 15 times for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Eagles. He added three receptions for 19 yards.

Conner was held in check by the stout Eagles defensive line as 25 of his 44 yards came on a single carry. However, he still found the end zone on a one-yard score early in the third quarter to help salvage his performance. Even after the relatively poor effort, Conner has 350 total yards and three touchdowns through four contests. He should remain heavily involved in the offense as the Steelers take on the Browns in Week 6.

Edwards-Helaire rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in three of eight targets for 40 yards in the Chiefs' 40-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

The rookie looked like he was on his way to a big day against a vulnerable Raiders defense when he rattled off 17 yards on his first two carries. However, he totaled just 23 yards on his eight other rushes, and game script ultimately forced the Chiefs into an even more pass-heavy mode than normal late in the contest. Edwards-Helaire will look bounce back from his second-lowest rushing output of the season at the expense of the Bills in a Week 6 Monday evening matchup.
