The Texans placed Foreman (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Foreman's season will come to a close after he suffered a torn left Achilles in the Week 11 win over the Cardinals while rushing for his second touchdown of the contest. Given the severity of the injury, Foreman could be limited or held out entirely when training camp opens next summer, putting something of a damper on his 2018 outlook. The Texans filled Foreman's spot on the 53-man roster by claiming running back Andre Ellington off waivers from Arizona.

Williams carried the ball once for nine yards and added a nine-yard catch during Sunday's 31-21 loss to Houston.

Williams' 18 total yards was his third-highest total of the season. It's not much now, but Arizona is the market for a new No. 2 behind Adrian Peterson after the release of Andre Ellington. Williams was tied for second among Arizona backs Sunday with nine offensive snaps. D.J. Foster will be his main competition.

Perine (finger) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

The finger issue isn't considered anything overly concerning, so the Redskins are presumably limiting Perine's practice reps after the busiest game to date of his young career in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Perine, who amassed 126 total yards and a touchdown on 24 touches in the contest, looks positioned to serve as the Redskins' lead back the rest of the way with Chris Thompson (lower leg) joining Rob Kelley (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

The Texans claimed Ellington off waivers Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Let go by the Cardinals after he was a healthy inactive for Arizona's loss Sunday to the Texans, Ellington will stick around in Houston to fortify a backfield that lost rookie running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) to a season-ending injury in the contest. Though he doesn't fit the power-back profile Foreman filled, Ellington is an adept pass catcher out of the backfield, a skill that should make him a fair complement to lead runner Lamar Miller. Ellington will have to get up to speed with the Texans' backfield before establishing himself as the top backup, but he has a decent chance of seeing meaningful snaps right off the bat with Alfred Blue (hamstring) uncertain to suit up Sunday against the Ravens after the injury prevented him from suiting up in Week 11.

Washington (hip) wasn't present for the portion of Tuesday's practice that was open to the media, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

With Washington seemingly in line to be listed as a non-participant for the Lions' first two practices of the week, it's not looking promising that he'll be available to play Thanksgiving Day against the Vikings. If that's the case, Zach Zenner would likely be kept active again as the Lions' No. 3 running back and see most of his touches in short-yardage scenarios.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Rawls would reenter the team's running-back rotation for the Week 12 matchup with the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

After producing only 27 yards on 10 carries in a Week 10 win over the Cardinals, Rawls was a healthy inactive for Monday's 34-31 loss to the Falcons with Eddie Lacy (groin) returning from injury and the recently signed Mike Davis entering the team's backfield mix. While Lacy's workload was limited in his return to action, Davis acted as the team's lead back for a good portion of the contest, amassing 59 total yards before departing with a groin pull. With Carroll indicating that Davis was "unlikely" to suit up against the 49ers, Rawls will have an opportunity to see snaps, but it's expected that he'll rank behind Lacy and pass-catching back J.D. McKissic in the pecking order. Rawls is averaging a horrid 2.6 yards on 49 carries this season and seems a long way from rediscovering the strong form he showcased as a rookie in 2015.

Patterson caught four passes on as many targets for 45 yards during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

After logging just six offensive snaps against Miami prior to the Raiders' bye week, Patterson took advantage of his increased snap count in Week 11 as he hauled in all four of his targets. Seth Roberts, who has filled the No. 3 receiver role all season, struggled with drops and lost a fumble in the red zone, which could potentially result in additional opportunities for Patterson in the slot against the Broncos in Week 12.

The Redskins signed Daniels off their practice squad Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Daniels will assume the roster spot of Chris Thompson, who will be placed on injured reserve after fracturing his right fibula in Sunday's loss to the Saints. With Rob Kelley (ankle) also on IR, Daniels will check in as third on the depth chart at running back behind Samaje Perine (finger) and Byron Marshall heading into the Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Giants. A healthy Perine should fill the lead back role for the Redskins, but Daniels could end up serving as a change-of-pace option if Marshall proves ill equipped for those duties.

Hill was promoted to the Cardinals' active roster from their practice squad Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hill accumulated just 11 yards on two carries across three games in his rookie season for the Jaguars. He's spent the 2017 season on the Cardinals' practice squad and will replace recently waived running back Andre Ellington on the roster. Hill is one of five healthy running backs on the depth chart, so he figures to just provide special teams help.

Clement rushed six times for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-9 defeat of the Cowboys. He also converted a two-point attempt.

The undrafted rookie capped the first drive of the second half with an 11-yard run up the middle for a score that put the Eagles up for good. Despite seeing half the touches that he did Week 9, Clement managed to reach 50 yards in his third consecutive game. His emergence, alongside Jay Ajayi's arrival, certainly makes the Philadelphia backfield a three-headed monster as they head into a Week 12 matchup at Chicago.
