Lloyd (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday at New England, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

The Packers added Lloyd to the Week 9 injury report Thursday as limited due to a knee injury, and he maintained that activity level Friday before the team tagged him as questionable ahead of the weekend. Now that Lloyd is confirmed to be unavailable, Pierre Strong and Kaleb Johnson will be the team's complementary backfield options behind No. 1 Josh Jacobs.

Robinson carried the ball 19 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and caught six of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Bengals.

Backup Khalil Herbert handled just three touches, as Robinson dominated the workload in the Atlanta backfield with his usual No. 2, Brian Robinson (hamstring), on the shelf. It was the first time since Week 4 that Bijan had reached the century mark in rushing yards, and also the first time since that game against the Saints he's gotten into the end zone. Robinson will look to build upon this effort in Week 10 against Kansas City.

Goodson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Goodson exited the second quarter of Sunday's contest with a knee issue. The running back had seven carries for 44 yards before exiting. Javonte Williams is the sole remaining running back active for the Cowboys.

Brown carried the ball nine times for 57 yards and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Falcons.

Samaje Perine actually saw more volume on the ground with 11 carries for 43 yards, but most of his workload came in the fourth quarter as the Bengals were grinding down the clock. Brown has yet to top 80 rushing yards in a game this season and he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 1, a disappointing first half of the year for a running back who amassed at least 1,300 scrimmage yards with double-digit scores each of the prior two campaigns. Brown will look for an opportunity to break out in Week 10 during a crucial AFC North battle against the Steelers.

Coleman received the first rep with the starters during warmups before Sunday's game against the Panthers, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Coleman has not started in any of the four appearances he has made in his rookie season, but he led Broncos running backs in both snaps and touches each of the last two weeks, and it appears he could get the start over J.K. Dobbins on Sunday. Both players should be involved one way or another, and with RJ Harvey (knee) on injured reserve, Cody Schrader will be the only other Broncos running back available for Week 9.

Based on pregame warmups, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic suggests that it seems like Hall will start at RB for the Jets in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Hall, who hasn't seen game action since sustaining a quad injury in Week 3, approached Sunday's contest minus an injury designation, thus setting him up to rejoin a Jets backfield that had been capably paced by Braelon Allen in his absence. While it looks like Hall is set to reclaim his key role in the team's backfield, offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Thursday the Jets intend to utilize "a mix" of the two running backs Sunday, per Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports, an approach that makes sense given how well Allen has produced of late.

Saylors (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Saylors carried a questionable designation heading into this contest, though he won't be on the field in Week 9, marking his first absence of the 2026 campaign. With Sione Vaki (ankle) available, Saylors likely wouldn't have been very involved, regardless.

Allen is listed as active for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

Allen is officially active for Sunday's matchup against the Lions after finishing the week with full participation in practice Friday. The 23-year-old plays had been playing a majority of his snaps on special teams, but with Jaylen Wright (quad) inactive versus Detroit, Allen and Carlos Washington are the backs who would be in line pick up extra Week 9 carries if top RB Ollie Gordon were to leave the game for any reason.

Vaki (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Miami.

Vaki didn't practice Friday, resulting in a questionable tag for Week 9. However, he will be out there against the Dolphins and may continue to be more involved after totaling 11 carries in the Week 8 win over the Vikings.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's battle against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

It's the third straight week that Dillon is a healthy scratch, and he hasn't logged game-day action since Week 4 against Detroit. Meanwhile, rookie RB Anthony Tyus continues to be active, due largely to his work as a kick returner. As such, it appears Dillon isn't likely to suit up unless one of the RBs ahead of him in the pecking order -- Chuba Hubbard, Trevor Etienne or Tyus -- needs to miss time.
