Thompson (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.

Thompson was unable to practice fully this week after suffering the injury last Sunday against the Raiders, though his fantasy upside wasn't that high anyway, as C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman continue to get a vast majority of the backfield touches.

Running back Terrence Magee was promoted to the Ravens' active roster in advance of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Magee gives the Ravens' backfield some added Week 6 depth with Justin Forsett dealing with an ankle injury and Lorenzo Taliaferro on IR.

Jones (toe) will not play Sunday against the Jets, according to Mike Jones of the Washington Post.

Jones is officially listed as questionable, but he apparently was unable to get through the pain Sunday morning, leaving Alfred Morris and Chris Thompson to share the workload against a very good Jets defense.

Redskins running back Matt Jones (toe) is not expected to play Sunday against the Jets, according to Britt McHenry of ESPN.

Jones was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but was unable to participate at all Friday due to the ailment. Alfred Morris and Chris Thompson will share the backfield touches, with McHenry noting that Thompson is expected to get a majority of the carries.

Mathews (groin) is officially listed as questionable for the Eagles' Week 6 game against the Giants, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

Technically, he's been listed as a full participant for Saturday's practice, but it's believed that the session was a walkthrough, which makes it difficult to know if Mathews has actually shown significant improvement since suffering the injury earlier in the week. DeMarco Murray and Darren Sproles figure to handle the workload in the Philadelphia backfield if Mathews is unable to play Monday.

Grimes (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Fellow RB Alfred Blue is listed as questionable for the contest, though with starter Arian Foster able to handle a heavy workload these days, any of his backups are speculative plays in fantasy.

Browns running back Shaun Draughn (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Draughn draws the questionable designation despite practicing fully both Thursday and Friday, though at this stage his Week 6 status is of more import to the Browns' backfield depth than it is to fantasy owners.

Broncos running back Juwan Thompson (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Thompson has been limited to work with the Broncos' strength and conditioning coach throughout this week following the hamstring injury he suffered against the Raiders. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, Kapri Bibbs is expected to be promoted from Denver's practice squad.

Eagles running back Ryan Mathews was added to the injury report as a limited participant Friday due to a groin injury.

It's never a good sign when a player is added to the injury report mid-week, but Mathews was at least able to fit in a limited session. Even if he's fine, Mathews will work behind DeMarco Murray in a matchup with a Giants team that has been strong against the run and vulnerable to the pass.

Redskins running back Matt Jones (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday game against the Jets.

Jones was limited at practice for two days before missing the Friday session. His decreased participation doesn't bode well and he may end up as a game-time decision. Even if Jones plays, he'll be splitting work behind an offensive line that's missing two starters in a battle with a tough run defense.
