Dobbins sustained a left knee sprain in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens and is likely to miss the Chargers' Week 13 game Sunday versus the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Dobbins is no stranger to knee injuries, having previously missed the entire 2021 season after tearing the ACL, LCL and meniscus in his left knee. He also missed all but one game in 2023 due to a torn Achilles' tendon, but he had staged a successful return this season with the Chargers, having suited up in each of the team's first 11 games while averaging 4.8 yards per carry and scoring eight touchdowns. However, Dobbins now looks poised to miss time after getting hurt Monday, with Rapoport noting that the 25-year-old's status will also be up in the air beyond the Week 13 matchup with the Falcons. Gus Edwards is expected to step in as the Chargers' lead option on the ground this week, but rookie sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal and third-year back Hassan Haskins could also be in store for expanded roles out of the backfield.

Shipley played zero offensive snaps for the second consecutive game in Week 12 against the Rams.

Shipley played 11 offensive snaps and rushed nine times in a blowout of the Cowboys back in Week 10 but hasn't seen the field with the offense since then. He's received zero touches in eight of the Eagles' 11 games so far this season.

Gainwell rushed five times for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

Gainwell found the end zone on a 13-yard run late in the third quarter to stretch the Eagles' lead to two scores. Otherwise, there wasn't much for him to do in a game in which Saquon Barkley rushed for 255 yards and two more scores. Gainwell has averaged 4.3 carries for 19.9 yards through 11 games this season.

White (quadricep) was estimated as being a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

White didn't practice at all last week and missed Sunday's loss to Denver, and his designation for Tuesday's session doesn't bode well for his ability to play on Friday against the Chiefs. However, his status bears watching to see if he can return to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday. Meanwhile, Alexander Mattison (ankle) -- who also was sidelined Week 12 -- was estimated as a limited practice participant Tuesday, so he seems to have a better chance than White of suiting up Friday. If neither running back can return for Week 13, Ameer Abdullah would likely lead the Las Vegas backfield once again.

Mattison (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Though the Raiders held a walkthrough Tuesday, the fact that Mattison was deemed a limited participant is an improvement over last week, when he was listed as a non-participant on three occasions. The running back was unable to play in last Sunday's loss to Denver along with No. 2 back Zamir White (quadricep), allowing Ameer Abdullah to serve as the team's primary option out of the backfield. White was estimated as a non-participant Tuesday, and if neither he nor Mattison can return Friday against Kansas City, Abdullah should lead Las Vegas' rushing attack again, with Sincere McCormick likely to be elevated from the practice squad again for depth.

The Seahawks cut Brown from the practice squad Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

After failing to make the Raiders' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Brown signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Sept. 18. The 2022 seventh-rounder has not been elevated to the active roster this season, and he'll now look to catch on with a team in need of running back depth.

Pacheco (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Pacheco had his 21-day evaluation window opened in Week 11, but Tuesday's practice marked the first time he was a full participant since he fractured his right ankle Sept. 15 and required surgery. Assuming he can avoid any setbacks over the next two days of practice, Pacheco will likely be activated from injured reserve and make his return to action Friday against the Raiders. He should immediately settle back in Kansas City's starting running back ahead of Kareem Hunt, though Pacheco could be in store for a lighter workload Friday in what would be his first game since Week 2.

The Commanders signed Rodriguez on Tuesday.

Rodriguez was cut by Washington on Saturday. The Commanders are once again dealing with injuries in the backfield, as Brian Robinson is tending to an ankle issue, and Austin Ekeler is in concussion protocol. If neither can play Sunday against the Titans, Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols would handle running back duties.

The Lions listed Montgomery (shoulder) as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

After leaving early in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts with the shoulder issue, Montgomery's status is one to watch with the Lions facing a quick turnaround for Week 13 with a Thursday game against the Bears. The Lions aren't likely to hold any high-intensity practices during the short week, but Montgomery's improvement in being estimated as a non-participant Monday to a limited participant Tuesday is generally a positive sign. Head coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press earlier Tuesday that he feels good about Montgomery's chances of playing in the Thanksgiving Day game.

The Jets signed Knight to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Knight spent 2023 and the 2024 offseason with the Lions, but he was cut by Detroit back in August. Prior to his tenure with the Lions, Knight played in seven games, making four starts, for the Jets in 2022, rushing 85 times for 300 yards and one touchdown, adding 13-100-0 as a receiver. He'll serve as organizational depth for New York.
