Kamara ran for 24 yards on four carries and corralled eight of 10 targets for 50 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to Atlanta.

The ground attack was practically nonexistent for New Orleans in Week 10, as Kamara and Latavius Murray combined for just 36 yards on nine attempts against a Falcons defense that had conceded more than 150 team rushing yards to Seattle during its last game Oct. 27. Kamara was able to compile double-digit targets for the second time this season, but the continued lack of rushing production is perplexing, as he has not exceeded 70 rushing yards since Week 1 and possesses just one score on the ground all year. Coming into his second game back from knee and ankle injuries that forced him to sit out Weeks 7 and 8, Kamara may once again find trouble getting much going as a rusher with the Saints facing off against a Tampa Bay defense that allowed just 37 combined rushing yards to Cardinals running backs Kenyan Drake and David Johnson on Sunday.

Chubb carried 20 times for 116 yards and caught two passes for an additional five yards during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills.

Chubb excelled despite a tough matchup against the Buffalo defense, which he gashed to the tune of 5.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Kareem Hunt made his season debut, catching seven passes and receiving four carries en route to recording a combined 74 yards of his own. If this game was any indicator, the Browns plan on utilizing the unique skillsets of both of their talented backs, though Chubb should still dominate the carries on a weekly basis. He'll look to do just that in Thursday's matchup with the Steelers.

Henry ran for 188 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries during Sunday's 35-32 win over Kansas City. He added three yards on two catches.

Henry gave the Titans the lead midway through the third quarter, cutting through the Kansas City defense and going the distance for a 68-yard touchdown run. Later, in the fourth quarter with the Chiefs hanging on to a two-score lead, Henry barreled ahead for a one-yard score to bring his team to within striking distance. The insertion of Ryan Tannehill has the Titans 3-1 over their last four games. In that span, Henry has logged 416 rushing yards and five total touchdowns, matching his output in Marcus Mariota's six starts. Following Tennessee's bye, Henry will be tested against a Jacksonville defense that held him to 44 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in Week 3.

Barkley rushed 13 times for one yard and caught all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.

You read that right. Barkley mustered just one yard on the ground. He looked like a shell of himself throughout the game, and it was revealed postgame that he's going in for an X-ray. When pressed on the topic, coach Pat Shurmur wouldn't elaborate besides saying that Barkley got banged-up. With the Giants now 2-8, it wouldn't be surprising to see Barkley miss time rather than continue trying to play at less than 100 percent.

Williams' teammate, LeSean McCoy is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, ESPN's Adam Teicher reports.

McCoy logged just three carries and one target in Week 9, but this news confirms that Williams -- who rushed for 125 yards on 12 carries (including a 91-yard run) last weekend against the Vikings -- will continue to head the Chiefs' ground game Sunday, while Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson profile as complementary options. Meanwhile, the contest will also mark the return to action of star QB Patrick Mahomes (knee), which figures to provide a boost to the Kansas City offense as a whole.

Thompson may work into the running back rotation with LeSean McCoy inactive in Week 10 against the Titans, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

With McCoy a surprise healthy scratch, Damien Williams is likely set to emerge as the lead back for the team. However, Thompson could also be a beneficiary with an increased role in the offensive gameplan. The rookie has failed to appear for more than five offensive snaps in any game this season and has gained only 11 total yards in six contests.

Breida (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the Seahawks.

As expected, Breida is fully healthy heading into Monday's pivotal divisional matchup against the Seahawks. While Tevin Coleman is expected to receive his usual workload, both Breida and Coleman could see even better running lanes as left tackle Joe Staley (leg), right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) and fullback Kyle Juszczyk (knee) are all expected to play.

Mostert (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The reserve running back could have a chance to suit up against the Seahawks, although it's unlikely he'll have a dramatic impact with both Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida (ankle) healthy heading into the prime-time matchup.

Mostert (knee) remained limited Friday at practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Mostert played through the same injury last week, getting just one carry in a 28-25 win over the Cardinals. His status won't have much impact on the 49ers' game plan unless Matt Breida's ankle injury turns out to be more serious than it currently appears to be.

Breida (ankle) remained limited Friday at practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Back-to-back limited practices would seemingly put Breida on track to play in Monday's divisional battle with the Seahawks. He has a well-established history of playing through injuries, often at a high level. The 49ers' already-potent rushing attack may get a nice boost this week, with LT Joe Staley (leg), RT Mike McGlinchey (knee) and FB Kyle Juszczyk (knee) all hoping to return from injuries.
