Jones (shoulder/toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Jones played through the same two injuries during last week's 27-19 loss to Baltimore, taking 72 percent of offensive snaps while turning 15 touches into 69 yards and a TD. He handled a similar portion of Minnesota's backfield work a week earlier in the upset win over Detroit, prior to exiting in the second half with an AC joint sprain. The shoulder injury may continue to limit his practice reps some, but Jones did manage a full session Friday to close out the week, suggesting he's all systems go for a home game against the Bears.

Hill (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Hill returned to a limited practice Friday, but he'll sit this one out and target a possible return to action Sunday, Nov. 23 against the Jets. In Hill's absence versus Cleveland, Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will be available to handle Week 11 backfield touches that don't go to Baltimore's top RB, Derrick Henry.

Wright was signed from the Buccaneers' practice squad to the active roster Friday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

The Monmouth product's signing provides Tampa Bay with much-needed depth at running back, as Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) is in line to miss his sixth consecutive game in Week 11. Expect Wright to play a depth role in the Buccaneers' backfield Sunday, potentially contributing on offense and special teams.

Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With Pacheco, who last saw game action Week 8, still sidelined, Kareem Hunt is poised to continue to lead the Chiefs backfield this weekend, while Brashard Smith, Elijah Mitchell and potential practice-squad elevation Clyde Edwards-Helaire available to mix in. Pacheco's next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Nov. 23 against the Colts. While filling in for Pacheco in a Week 9 loss to the Bills (prior to Kansas City's bye), Hunt carried 11 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for six yards. In that contest, Smith logged three carries for seven yards, and Edwards-Helaire rushed twice for five yards.

Hunt is poised to lead Kansas City's backfield Sunday against the Broncos, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out.

Pacheco will miss a second consecutive game sandwiched around Kansas City's Week 10 bye. In Pacheco's absence, Hunt recorded 55 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 12 touches Week 9 against the Bills. Brashard Smith will be available in a change-of-pace role but recorded only three carries in Buffalo.

Perine (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

With Perine -- who didn't practice this week -- unavailable and targeting a return to action Sunday, Nov. 23 against the Patriots, Tahj Brooks is in line to serve as Chase Brown's top backup this weekend. The Bengals also have the option of elevating RBs Gary Brightwell and/or Kendall Milton from their practice squad ahead of Week 11 action.

Coach Andy Reid said Pacheco (knee) didn't practice Friday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Pacheco hasn't practiced since taking a hit to the side of his right knee during a Week 8 win against the Commanders, after which he was diagnosed with a sprained MCL. He thus appears destined to be ruled out for a second game in a row coming out of the Chiefs' Week 10 bye. Kareem Hunt will continue to lead the backfield for as long as Pacheco is sidelined.

Mullings (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The rookie running back from Michigan returned to practice this week after missing Tennessee's last six games due to an ankle injury, but it appears he's not ready for in-game action just yet. Mullings will remain on the injured reserve list through Week 11 and must be activated to the Titans' active roster before suiting up again.

Davis rushed twice for 11 yards and didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

It looks like Davis' role will remain limited as long as Breece Hall is healthy, even though Davis flashed decent production earlier in the season while Hall was playing through a knee injury. Davis has exceeded five touches in a game only once this season heading into the Jets' Week 12 road game against the Ravens.

Sermon signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Thursday.

Sermon has bounced between Pittsburgh's practice squad and active roster throughout the season. He was released from the active roster Saturday but has found his way back onto the practice squad for the Steelers five days later.
