Gordon was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.

Gordon was listed with a shoulder injury last week and a knee injury Weeks 3 through 5. He's yet to miss a game this season, and his workload fell in its usual range during Sunday's 21-0 win over Denver, though he was limited to 44 yards and held scoreless on 19 touches (one catch). Assuming the foot injury isn't serious, Gordon should stay busy even if the Chargers fall behind Sunday in New England, as the team often keeps him on the field for passing downs.

Hood signed a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday.

Selected by the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Hood was released at the end of the preseason and spent the past seven weeks on Oakland's practice squad. He'll provide depth behind DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard while Marshawn Lynch serves a one-game suspension Sunday against the Bills. Hood likely will be waived after the contest, unless Washington or Richard suffer an injury.

Washington (quadriceps) wasn't listed on the Lions' injury report Wednesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Washington benefited from a Week 7 bye and is now in line for his first game action since the second contest of the season. He'll likely push Zach Zenner to the inactive list Sunday against the Steelers, but Washington's workload won't amount to much behind the running back duo of Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick.

West (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

With West sidelined for a third straight week, Javorius Allen and Alex Collins will continue to split work in the Baltimore backfield. West hasn't practiced at all since re-injuring his calf in a Week 5 win over the Raiders.

Perine did not see the field for an offensive snap during Monday's 34-24 loss to the Eagles.

With Rob Kelley back in the fold, Washington no longer needed Perine to be the thunder to Chris Thompson's lightning. So long as both Thompson and Kelley stay healthy, it's hard to see Perine getting much more than the occasional carry. The rookie fourth-round pick can only blame himself for a missed opportunity. In the three full games Kelley missed, Perine recorded 49 rushes for a putrid 2.84 yards per carry.

Williams caught two of three targets for 18 yards and added two yards on two carries in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

There had been some talk that Kenyan Drake was eyeing the backup running back role, but Williams has held him off. Williams saw 22 offensive snaps on Sunday while Drake was limited to special teams. That's a feather in his cap, but few teams roll as much with a lead back than Miami. So while he's seen steady snaps, Williams has yet to reach 30 total yards in a game this year. Don't expect that to change.

Grant logged six carries for eight yards and had one catch for 28 yards in Sunday's Week 7 win over the Colts.

Even with Leonard Fournette (ankle) inactive, Grant remained the Jags' third option behind T.J. Yeldon, who finished with 122 yards, and Chris Ivory. Fournette is expected back in Week 9 following the bye, so expect Grant to remain buried on the depth chart for the foreseeable future.

West (calf) was a nonparticipant in Tuesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With back-to-back days on the sideline to begin the week, West looks poised to miss his third straight game due to the calf issue. Unless West is able to rally in the next couple of days and suit up Thursday against the Dolphins, it looks as though Javorius Allen and Alex Collins will shoulder the bulk of the snaps out of the backfield for the Ravens.

Rawls had 12 touches for 50 yards in Sunday's win at the Giants.

Rawls started and looked quicker than Eddie Lacy (nine touches, 43 yards), but the results weren't much different. Rawls also dropped a pass that likely would have went for a big gain and lost a fumble that led to the Giants' only score. Both had two carries inside the 10-yard line, though neither scored. Rawls played 30 snaps to J.D. McKissic's 23 (five, 33) and Lacy's 21. C.J. Prosise, coming off an ankle injury, played two snaps before aggravating the injury. Rawls likely will continue to share carries until he decisively shows he deserves more.

Kelley (ankle) rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Monday night's 34-24 loss to the Eagles.

Kelley overcame injury to make his first appearance since Week 4, but facing a stout Philadelphia rush defense always figured to make matters difficult. Still, Kelley has now only topped 3.3 yards per carry in one of his four appearances this season and is yet to find the end zone. Fellow Redskins tailback Chris Thompson caught a touchdown pass while garnering seven carries Monday, but after he was eventually forced to leave with a toe injury, Kelley could be in line for more work Week 8 versus the Cowboys.
