  • Owen Wright RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Owen Wright: Joins active roster

    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.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Ruled out by Chiefs

    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.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Retaining lead role Week 11

    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.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Won't play Sunday

    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.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: No practice Friday

    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.

  • Kalel Mullings RB | TEN

    Titans' Kalel Mullings: Won't return for Week 11

    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.

  • Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ

    Jets' Isaiah Davis: Two touches in Thursday's loss

    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.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Trey Sermon: Rejoins Pittsburgh's practice squad

    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.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Set to split with White vs. Bills

    Tucker is likely to maintain an expanded role Sunday against the Bills, as Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports that Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) has been ruled out.

    Tucker was Tampa Bay's most effective running back in the team's Week 10 loss to the Patriots, though he was out-touched 15-10 by Rachaad White. They likely will operate in a platoon Sunday against a Bills defense that's giving up 5.4 yards per carry to running backs while Irving sits out a sixth consecutive game.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | CAR

    Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Cleared to play

    Dowdle (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Dowdle played through the same quad injury last week and took 21 touches for 64 yards, but fantasy managers perhaps got a bit nervous after he didn't practice Wednesday. He returned Thursday as a limited participant, before upgrading to full participation Friday, which sets him up for another huge workload after back-to-back outings with more than 20 touches and a snap share well above 70 percent.
