Kamara (ankle) is expected to play Sunday in Jacksonville barring a setback, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He participated in Saturday's walk-through session and is listed as questionable on the official injury report.

Kamara initially wasn't trending in the right direction for Week 6, as he went from a limited participation at Thursday's practice to no activity Friday. However, Rapoport's report suggests Kamara's condition improved Saturday. Still, a decision on his availability won't come until approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. EDT kickoff.

Kelly was promoted to the Rams' active roster Saturday.

With Todd Gurley (quad) ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Kelly will be brought on board to serve as the team's third running back. Kelly is not expected to play a significant role in Sunday's outing, with Malcolm Brown and rookie Darrell Henderson in line to lead the way in the backfield.

Coach Anthony Lynn told Daniel Popper of The Athletic that Gordon will be utilized more Sunday night against the Steelers.

In his first game action following his holdout, Gordon ranked behind Austin Ekeler in offensive snap share last Sunday against the Broncos, getting 46 percent to the former's 66 percent. Based on past seasons, those numbers should flip in the near future, and perhaps as soon as Sunday. In Week 5, Gordon managed just 2.6 YPC on his 12 rushes while hauling in four of six passes for seven yards. The going should be easier this Sunday versus a Pittsburgh defense that has allowed 125.8 rushing yards per game this season.

Edmonds is preparing for the possibility of an expanded workload in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

David Johnson (back) expects to play after he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, but coach Kliff Kingsbury is treating it as a game-time decision, and it's possible the running back will have his workload reduced if he's active for the game. Edmonds has done well with limited touches this season, averaging 6.7 yards on 19 carries and 7.2 yards on six receptions. His 37-yard touchdown run last week in Cincinnati helped the Cardinals secure their first win under Kingsbury.

Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland, despite being a full practice participant Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Penny was added to the injury report Thursday as a full participant, perhaps hinting at a minor tweak of the hamstring injury that held him out in Weeks 3 and 4. Regardless, he appears on track to play in Sunday's game against Cleveland, with the kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET. A late setback would leave C.J. Prosise as the No. 2 back behind Chris Carson.

Wilson (coach's decision) might be active Sunday against the Rams, Cam Inman of the East Bay Times reports.

If Wilson does play, it will be at the expense of a player at a different position and not one of the other three running backs. Wilson would be a candidate for goal-line touches, but his fantasy value would still be limited, with the 49ers' other running backs also in the mix.

Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Added to the injury report Thursday as a full participant, Penny now carries a designation for Sunday's game, while fellow running back Chris Carson (shoulder) has been cleared to play. Penny previously missed missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a hamstring injury, returning for last Thursday's win over the Rams with six carries for 18 yards and two catches for 31 yards on 12 snaps. C.J. Prosise got seven carries and five targets over a two-week stretch during Penny's aforementioned absence. The Seahawks and Browns are scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Scott has been promoted to the Eagles' active roster ahead of the team's Week 6 clash with the Vikings.

The team placed fellow running back Corey Clement (shoulder) on injured reserve to create the roster spot. With Darren Sproles battling a quadriceps injury, Scott will slot in as Philadelphia's No. 3 running back behind Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders.

Clement (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve.

After picking up at least 68 rushing attempts in each of his first two seasons, Clement had been relegated to a special teams role in Year 3 while Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders split running back duties. The Eagles promoted Boston Scott from their practice squad to fill Clement's spot.

Murray didn't practice Friday due to personal reasons but doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Jacksonville, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara is tending to an ankle injury, which limited his practice reps Thursday before keeping him out entirely Friday. Kamara is listed as questionable for Week 6, and a decision on his status won't be made until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. kickoff. If Kamara is hindered or inactive, Murray is on hand to keep the ground game running. On the season, Murray has averaged 3.9 yards per carry and hauled in six of seven targets.
