Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Cleared to play Sunday night
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.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Questionable after full practice
Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after practicing fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Hall's ability to work fully Friday bodes well for his chances of being available versus Cincinnati. Fortunately for those considering the running back in Week 8 fantasy lineups, the Jets kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. In the event that Hall is limited or out this weekend, Isaiah Davis and Khalil Herbert would be next in line for the 0-7 Jets' backfield snaps.

Kareem Hunt RB | KC
Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Upgrades to limited Friday
Hunt (ankle/knee) was a limited participant at practice Friday.
Hunt's now listed with an ankle injury in addition to a knee injury, but on a positive note, he practiced in some capacity Friday after being a non-participant Thursday. The Chiefs will post their final injury report Saturday for Monday's game against the Commanders. If Hunt's limited or unavailable, rookie Brashard Smith could take on a larger role alongside Isiah Pacheco.

Roschon Johnson RB | CHI
Bears' Roschon Johnson: Won't play in Week 8
Johnson (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
The third-year back from Texas didn't practice all week after likely sustaining a back injury in the Week 7 win over the Saints, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With Johnson out, the only Bears running backs without injury designations heading into the Week 8 contest are Kyle Monangai and Travis Homer.
-
D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Bears' D'Andre Swift: Listed as questionable
Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Swift followed the same practice pattern as last week, logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday after resting at the beginning of the week. He's listed as questionable, again, but it'll be surprising if he doesn't suit up, having played through the same injury last week en route to a 19-124-1 rushing line in the 26-14 win over New Orleans.
-
Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Good to go
Kamara (ankle) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Kamara played through the same injury the past two weeks, including taking on a season-high 84 percent share when Kendre Miller suffered an ACL tear in the loss at Chicago last Sunday. Devin Neal could get more work with time to prepare for the No. 2 role, but it's also possible Kamara is tasked with some of the snaps and touches that went to Miller in recent weeks.
-
Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI
Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Deemed questionable for Week 8
Allgeier (hip/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Allgeier was limited in all three of Atlanta's practices during Week 8 prep. If Allgeier's unable to suit up Sunday against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the most rushing yards in the league to running backs, Nathan Carter would assume the top backup role behind Bijan Robinson.
-
Zavier Scott RB | MIN
Vikings' Zavier Scott: Gets time late in blowout loss
Scott had two carries for 16 yards and two receptions for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
With Aaron Jones back from a hamstring injury, Scott worked as the No. 3 running back. He got playing time only after the game became a blowout loss as all of his touches on offense came late in the fourth quarter. He's likely to have a very small role on offense if Jones and Jordan Mason are healthy.
-
Josh Williams RB | TB
Buccaneers' Josh Williams: Cleared to play Week 8
Williams has cleared concussion protocol and will be available to play Sunday against New Orleans, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Williams has appeared in just one game this season, logging six snaps on special teams and two on offense. He's yet to touch the ball outside of five kick returns.
-
Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ
Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Ruled out for Week 8
Nwangwu (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Nwangwu has been limited to three appearances by injuries in 2025, first hurting his hamstring in Week 1 against the Steelers and then sustaining a concussion in Week 7 against the Panthers. In Nwangwu's absence, Isaiah Williams, Khalil Herbert, Isaiah Davis and Arian Smith are all candidates to handle kickoff returns.
