The Rams designated Rivers (knee) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.

Prior to spraining his PCL in Week 6, Rivers showed some flashes in the first six games of the campaign, averaging 4.4 yards on his 13 carries and also hauling in all four targets for 18 yards. The Rams play the Saints on Thursday, so he doesn't have much time to put himself in a position to return to action this week. Having said that, Tuesday's practice report will reveal how much work Rivers was able to handle.

Edmonds carried three times for 13 yards and did not see a target in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Edmonds' usage had spiked in Week 14, when the versatile veteran had logged 10 total touches in a high-scoring win over the Falcons. However, with Sunday's downturn, which included his first game without a target since Week 2, Edmonds' outlook is once again cloudy, making him a risky fantasy option for what remains of the season.

Walker rushed 19 times for 86 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 26 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles.

Walker looked liked his old self after shaking off the rust in his return from injury against San Francisco in Week 14. The 23-year-old teamed up with fill-in starting quarterback Drew Lock to score the pair of touchdowns that helped the Seahawks upset the visiting Eagles on the national stage. Walker finished with 22 touches to backup Zach Charbonnet's five, reinforcing the former's status as the lead back. Expect Walker to continue leading Seattle's backfield in a road matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

Swift rushed 18 times for 74 yards and brought in two of three targets for one yard in the Eagles' 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Monday night.

Swift had only five more carries than Jalen Hurts, but the running back's tally still tied for his second highest this season. His yardage haul was his third over 70 in the last five games as well, and Swift was able to get back on the stat sheet as a pass catcher, albeit modestly, after being blanked in that department against the Cowboys in Week 14. Swift next takes aim at the porous Giants run defense in a Week 16 matchup on Christmas Day, one he'll enter 104 rushing yards shy of his first 1,000-yard campaign.

Carter tallied three carries for 27 yards and three catches (on three targets) for 10 yards during Sunday's 45-29 defeat to the 49ers.

On a day in which the Cardinals racked up 234 rushing yards, Carter made the most of his sparse touches, including a long rush of 19 yards. Both he and fellow reserve running back Emari Demercado earned 18 offensive plays, but the latter was far more productive to the tune of five touches for 70 yards from scrimmage and one TD. James Conner again led Arizona's backfield with 36 plays and 17 touches for 89 total yards and a rushing score, so Carter remains second or third fiddle, at best, at the position on the Cards.

Demercado notched four carries for 64 yards and one touchdown and gathered in one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.

Demercado logged his longest play from scrimmage as a pro when he powered through a bunch of players early in the fourth quarter before finding no 49er defenders in front of him en route a 49-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, he was pretty quiet on his four other touches, amassing 21 total yards. While Demercado matched fellow reserve running back Michael Carter (six touches, 37 yards) with 18 snaps on offense, James Conner continued to pave the way with 36 such plays and 17 touches for 89 total yards and a TD. Overall, the Cardinals racked up 234 rushing yards against a decent San Francisco defensive front, so Demercado may continue to maintain some sway in Arizona's offense over the final three contests of the season.

Williams (concussion) reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.

Williams operated behind Antonio Gibson in Sunday's loss to the Rams with Brian Robinson (hamstring) unavailable. The running back lost two yards on his only carry while failing to reel in a target over 13 offensive snaps before exiting with a concussion. Depending how quickly he's able to clear protocols, he could be an option for an elevation in Week 16 against the Jets.

McNichols reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

McNichols was active but did not play in Sunday's 45-29 win over the Cardinals. With Elijah Mitchell (knee) potentially unavailable for Week 16 versus the Ravens, McNichols could be elevated to the active roster again.

Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Gaskin was elevated to Minnesota's active roster prior to Saturday's loss to the Bengals. He ultimately saw the field for two special-teams snaps (seven percent). The running back will now continue to put in work at practice and await another opportunity to be promoted.

Evans reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.

Evans played 13 snaps on special teams, failing to record a stat in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets. He'll now wait for his next chance to join the active roster.
