Gilliam (knee) is active against the Bills on Sunday.

The veteran fullback has been working through a knee injury, but he's been cleared by medical staff to play after going through pregame warmups. Gilliam spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Bills before signing a three-year contract with the Patriots in March.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Ravens.

Carter was elevated from the practice squad for last Sunday's game against the Giants but ended up being a healthy scratch. The veteran running back then signed to the Titans' 53-man roster Tuesday, yet he's inactive on game day for a second straight week. It appears Carter is essentially insurance in case one of the four running backs ahead of him in the pecking order becomes unavailable.

Davis (hamstring) is expected to play against the Patriots on Sunday.

Davis was questionable heading into Sunday's game after participating as a limited participant in Friday's practice. The 26-year-old has one rushing attempt through three regular-season games for three yards.

Singletary (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Singletary will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week while the Giants roll with Tyrone Tracy and Najee Harris as the backup options in the backfield behind Cam Skattebo. Singletary's next opportunity to suit up is Week 5 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Demercado (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Demercado will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, which leaves Tyler Goodson as the lone backup option to Javonte Williams. Demercado's next chance to play is Thursday against the Buccaneers, although he doesn't have a clear path to playing time unless one or both of Williams and Goodson were to miss time.

Spears (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

While managing the ankle injury, Spears managed just one full practice this week and took a questionable tag into Sunday, but he looks like he'll be available to handle his usual No. 2 role behind Tony Pollard. Through Tennessee's first three games, Spears has carried 13 times for 58 yards (4.5 YPC) to go with four receptions for 41 yards on six targets.

Spears (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, is slated to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Spears was able to play through his ankle injury last Sunday at the Giants, and while he earned a 47 percent snap share, he mustered just three carries for five yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Fellow RB Tony Pollard handled the other 53 percent and turned his 21 touches into 96 yards from scrimmage. Considering Spears progressed from DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday and full Friday, he appears set to serve in a similar role alongside Pollard on Sunday, assuming the former is active.

Seattle signed Jones from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The Seahawks needed running-back depth ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Chargers after rookie Jadarian Price (chest) was placed on IR. Jones should slide into the team's No. 3 RB role behind Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. Jones was previously elevated from the practice squad twice this season and has logged 39 snaps, all on special teams.

Price (chest) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Price saw his practice participation during Week 4 prep decline due to a chest injury before he was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The injury is severe enough for the rookie first-rounder to go on IR, meaning Price will be forced to miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible to return until at least Week 8 against the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 2. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will serve as the Seahawks' top running backs for Week 4 due to Price's absence, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) could also be in the mix for backfield duties as soon as Week 5 against the 49ers if he's cleared to be activated from the reserve/PUP list.

The Commanders elevated Reynolds from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

It will be Reynolds' first elevation to the active roster this season, and he'll provide the Commanders with backfield depth for Sunday's game in London in the absence of Rachaad White (shoulder). Reynolds spent the last five years with the Lions before joining the Commanders in mid-August, though he was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.
