Foreman is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles with Lamar Miller (ankle) sidelined, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Foreman, a 2017 third-round pick, acted as the top complement to Miller for the majority of his rookie campaign before tearing his Achilles' tendon Nov. 19 of that year. The lengthy rehab he required after surgery resulted in him opening the season on the PUP list before he was activated earlier this month. He'll now get the chance to make his season debut, likely handling a limited role on offense behind fill-in starter Alfred Blue.

Ford is listed as the backup to LeSean McCoy in advance of Sunday's matchup against New England.

Ford made his season debut in Week 15, collecting 14 carries on 41 offensive snaps in a week where much of the backfield was sidelined due to injury. While McCoy is back in the mix and listed as the starter, Ford is the only other healthy true running back on the active roster, as Chris Ivory (shoulder) is inactive and Marcus Murphy (elbow) was placed on IR this week.

Edwards rushed 14 times for 92 yards and added 13 receiving yards by catching his lone target in Saturday's 22-10 win over the Chargers.

Edwards continues to thrive as the lead back under Lamar Jackson's iteration of the Ravens' offense. The threat of a mobile quarterback has opened up running lanes and allowed the undrafted rookie to produce at least 100 all-purpose yards in four out of the last six contests. Edwards is a non-factor in the passing game (Saturday's catch was his first since becoming starter), but his healthy production on the ground combined with a consistent role makes him start-worthy in almost any format. The Browns and their 24th-ranked rush defense are on tap for Week 17.

Gordon (knee) carried the ball 12 times for 41 yards and a touchdown, while also catching all three of his targets for 13 yards in the 22-10 loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

Gordon benefited from a Ravens fumble to begin the third quarter, taking advantage of nice field position to score his first touchdown following a three-game absence. That was about it in the form of pleasantries, as Gordon and the rest of the Chargers offense simply failed to generate any sort of yardage against a swarming Ravens defense. Perhaps more alarming, Gordon was often subbed out in passing situations, in part due to an unusually bad performance in terms of pass protection, where he yielded snaps and targets to Justin Jackson, who finished with seven catches for 47 yards. There's a real possibility the Chargers will already know their playoff fate prior to their next scheduled contest, as the Chiefs will play two games (one Sunday night against the Seahawks and Week 17 at 1:00 p.m. EST against the Raiders) before the Chargers take on the Broncos at 4:25 p.m. EST next week. Barring any sort of "schedule flexing" shenanigans, should the Chiefs win both of those contests, Gordon along with a number of other key skill position players could run the risk of taking a seat for precautionary reasons with the No. 5 seed already set in stone.

Henry rushed 21 times for 84 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 25-16 win over Washington. He caught his lone target for eight yards.

Henry also missed his first pass attempt of the season, ending his hopes of a perfect completion percentage for the year. (He's 2-of-3 for 14 yards.) All joking aside, the bruising back turned in another fine fantasy performance, even if it wasn't as impressive as the two monster games he was coming off. The 24-year-old is finally looking like the top-end fantasy back that many hoped he would become during drafts. It only took the Titans' coaching staff 13 weeks to finally feature him, but better late than never. Henry should be in store for another 20-plus touch workload in an important matchup with the Colts in Week 17.

Perine (coach's decision) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Titans.

Saturday's designation means Perine will miss his sixth straight game and fourth as a healthy inactive. Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and Byron Marshall will continue to field the touches out of the backfield.

Thomas has been signed from the Jaguars' practice squad, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Thomas had been placed on the Jaguars' practice squad after injuring his knee during the 2018 preseason. He'll act as depth along the offensive line.

Coach Pete Carroll didn't sound optimistic about Penny (knee) being able to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "We're holding out hope that maybe on gameday [Penny] can do something," Carroll said Friday. "We'll find out. He did a little bit of work [Friday] for the first time this week and his recovery is going really well."

Although he referred to Penny as a game-day decision, Carroll doesn't seem to have any expectation that the rookie will be able to play. Penny returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, logging his first activity of any kind since Week 14. An absence Sunday would free up a few extra touches for Mike Davis and Chris Carson, with J.D. McKissic potentially getting the occasional snap.

Penny is viewed as a game-day decision for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Per Boyle, Penny is listed as questionable on the Seahawks' final injury report after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant. His availability shouldn't have a huge impact on the Seahawks' game plan, as they can simply allow Chris Carson and/or Mike Davis to take a few more carries if the rookie isn't available. Davis handled the vacated snaps in last week's 26-23 loss to the 49ers, but Carson might be the beneficiary if Seattle were to play with a lead this time around.

With Kerryon Johnson (knee) on injured reserve and LeGarrette Blount (calf) listed as questionable, Zenner and Theo Riddick are the Lions' only healthy running backs heading into Sunday's game against Minnesota, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Zenner already appeared to usurp Blount for the lead role during last week's 14-13 loss at Buffalo, getting the start and posting a 10-45-1 rushing line while the 32-year-old produced just nine yards on seven carries. Of course, Riddick contributed 47 yards on eight carries and nine yards on two receptions, so a timeshare will likely still be in the works even if Blount doesn't play Sunday. The prospect of sharing with one player instead of two obviously boosts Zenner's fantasy outlook, but there's no guarantee it comes to fruition and also no guarantee the injury-riddled Lions have any success against a tough Minnesota defense.
