Rachaad White RB | TB
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Irving out vs. weak Bills run D
White is poised 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.
Irving has been sidelined since Week 4, opening the door for White to lead Tampa Bay's backfield. White averaged 16.4 touches in the previous five games Irving missed. Sean Tucker has worked as the 1B option to White in Tampa Bay's last two games, and both healthy running backs have nice opportunities to produce Sunday against a Bills defense that's allowing 5.4 yards per carry to the position.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Ruled out for Sunday
Irving (foot/shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Irving finally returned to practice this week, listed as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll need at least one more week before making a real run at playing. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will fill in again, with Irving perhaps hoping to return for a Week 12 road matchup with the Rams on Sunday Night Football (Nov. 23).

Justice Hill RB | BAL
Ravens' Justice Hill: Participating in Friday's practice
Hill (toe) returned to practice Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of the The Athletic reports.
The Ravens will release their injury report later Friday, at which point Hill's participation level will be clarified. He'll likely carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns after being unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday, though Hill may be able to avoid one if he practices without limitations Friday.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Cleared after full practice Friday
Gordon (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Gordon was limited to one touch in Miami's Week 10 win over the Bills while playing through this ankle injury, so it remains to be seen how change-of-pace duties behind lead back De'Von Achane will be distributed between Gordon and Jaylen Wright, though it's encouraging that Gordon practiced without limitations Friday and avoided an injury designation. The Dolphins will face a slumping Commanders team Sunday morning in Madrid.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Modest production in Week 11 loss
Hall rushed 14 times for 58 yards and brought in both targets for six yards in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.
Hall unsurprisingly had a modest showing against the toughest run defense in the league, posting a long run of 11 yards while logging just three more carries than QB Justin Fields. The versatile back also had a muted impact through the air, finishing with his second-lowest receiving yardage total of the season. Despite the Jets' lack of postseason aspirations, Hall appears set to remain a clear lead back with a robust workload most weeks, although he'll have another tough task when the Jets travel to face an improving Ravens defense in a Week 12 matchup on Sunday, Nov. 23.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Three total TDs in win
Henderson rushed 19 times for 62 yards and two touchdowns and secured all five targets for 31 yards and another score in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
The rookie came in with a golden opportunity to follow up his career-best 147-yard rushing day in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, as Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) remained out and Terrell Jennings was dealing with a knee issue. Henderson ended up cashing in, putting together his first three-TD game as a pro via a pair of seven-yard second-quarter scoring runs and a six-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. He also comfortably paced the Patriots' ground attack with a career-high carry total, and he'll be set up for what should be an elevated Week 12 role -- irrespective of Stevenson's availability -- against a very vulnerable Bengals defense on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ
Jets' Khalil Herbert: Won't play against New England
Herbert (groin) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.
Despite being listed as a full participant during Week 11 prep, Herbert will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a groin injury. His next opportunity to play will be Week 12 against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 23. He's played solely on special teams across two regular-season games, but his absence means Kene Nwangwu will join Isaiah Davis as the Jets' backup running backs behind starter Breece Hall.

Zonovan Knight RB | ARI
Cardinals' Bam Knight: Another limited showing
Knight (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Knight maintained his activity level from Wednesday's walkthrough, giving him just one more chance to practice in full this week, or else he'll be at risk of entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the 49ers. Over the last two games, Knight has split most of the backfield snaps with Emari Demercado, but he's been far less efficient with them, as evidenced by 22 touches for 80 yards from scrimmage (as opposed to Demercado's 182 total yards on the same number of touches).

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Active versus Jets
Jennings (knee), who had been listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Jets, is active for the contest.
On Monday, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com relayed that Jennings, who was forced out of this past Sunday's win over the Buccaneers with a knee issue after logging just five snaps, noted ahead of Week 11 action that he'd "definitely be okay. It's just a little bruise." With his active status confirmed and Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) still sidelined, Jennings is slated to work behind TreVeyon Henderson, who carried 14 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns while catching one pass for three yards versus Tampa Bay. In that context, Jennings is in line to handle complementary touches Thursday, which makes him a fantasy lineup dart this week. Additionally, practice-squad elevation D'Ernest Johnson is on hand to provide backfield depth.

Keaton Mitchell RB | BAL
Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Practices in full
Mitchell (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Mitchell was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, but he's now ready to rock for Sunday's road matchup against the Browns. He's logged exactly four carries in three consecutive games, while continuing to contribute as a return man. Justice Hill (toe) missed another practice Thursday, potentially paving the way for Mitchell to handle the No. 2 role behind Derrick Henry in Week 11.
