Ty Chandler RB | MIN
Vikings' Ty Chandler: Staying on injured reserve
The Vikings have ruled out Chandler (knee) for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
Since Minnesota designated Chandler for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he followed an LP/FP/FP practice regimen before the team considered him questionable for Week 14 action. Now that he's officially unavailable Sunday, the Vikings will continue to roll with the RB trio of Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott. Chandler's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 14 at Dallas.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Questionable for Monday
Haskins (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's game versus the Eagles, but he remains on injured reserve.
Haskins was a full participant in his second practice back since being placed on injured reserve in Week 8. It's still unclear if the 26-year-old will be activated for the Chargers' Week 14 game, but if he is, the team could be getting two additions to the backfield against the Eagles, as 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton's return is trending in a positive direction, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Should Hampton be activated off injured reserve, he will likely take a majority of the RB reps. It's yet to be known what Haskin's role would be, as Kimani Vidal is also healthy.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Questionable for Monday, still on IR
Hampton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Eagles, but he remains on injured reserve.
After Hampton logged a full practice Friday, it signaled that he was closing in on his first game action since Week 5, when he suffered a fracture in his left ankle. On Saturday, numerous NFL insiders, including Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, reported that the Chargers were expected to activate Hampton from injured reserve for Week 14. Now that Hampton is deemed questionable, such a procedural move will need to take place by Monday afternoon for him to have a chance to return. Assuming that comes to pass, Hampton is a good bet to retake most of the RB reps from Kimani Vidal, who has dominated Los Angeles' backfield during the former's seven-game absence.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: In line for activation from IR
The Chargers are expected to activate Hampton (ankle) from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com and NFL reporter Jordan Schultz report.
Hampton logged a full practice Friday for the first time since the Chargers designated him for return from injured reserve Nov. 25, getting him one step closer to his first game action since he suffered a fracture in his left ankle in Week 5. He's missed the last seven games as a result, but his imminent return will be a boon to the offense while also potentially wiping out a good portion of the value that fellow RB Kimani Vidal built up during Hampton's absence. In the end, Hampton appears set to be listed as questionable or without a designation when Los Angeles posts its final injury report of the week Saturday, and the team then will need to activate him from IR by Monday afternoon for him to have a chance to suit up in Week 14.

Malik Davis RB | DAL
Cowboys' Malik Davis: Limited carries again
Davis gained six rushing yards on three carries in Thursday's loss to the Lions.
For the fourth straight game, Davis saw either three or four totes while working as the No. 2 back for the Cowboys behind Javonte Williams. Thursday's production was by far his lowest during that stretch, however -- a disappointing showing after he broke free for a 43-yard TD in Week 13. As long as Williams remains healthy, Davis will remain little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes.

Jerome Ford RB | CLE
Browns' Jerome Ford: May benefit from injured teammate
Ford could see extra duty Sunday against the Titans due to Dylan Sampson (calf) being questionable for Week 14.
Sampson, who injured his calf in last week's loss to San Francisco, was able to practice on a limited basis Friday after missing the first two practices, but it was not enough to avoid the questionable designation. Ford spelled Sampson last week and garnered his most touches since Week 7. Quinshon Judkins dominates the playing time and touches in the backfield, but Ford was often used as a third-down back before losing time to Sampson in recent weeks.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Full participant Friday
Haskins (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Haskins upgrades to a full participant in just his second practice back from his stint on injured reserve. It is unclear if the Chargers will want to remove the running back from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, but an upgrade in practice participation is a great sign for the 26-year-old's health.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Logs full practice Friday
Hampton (ankle) practiced fully Friday.
Prior to Friday's uncapped session, Hampton had been listed as limited on the Chargers' previous four injury reports, so he's drawing ever closer to his first game action since he suffered a fracture in his left ankle Week 5. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Hampton even was wearing a normal blue jersey and took part in the red-zone walkthrough Friday, yet another sign that he's trending in the right direction. Saturday's practice report will reveal if Hampton has a designation for a Week 14 matchup versus the Eagles, but Los Angeles will need to activate him from injured reserve by Monday afternoon in order for him to have a chance to log Week 14 action.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Ruled out after Friday DNP
Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
After missing the past two games, Demercado returned to practice Wednesday and Thursday as a limited participant. He was then held out Friday and ruled out on the injury report, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter in charge of Arizona's backfield for another week. There is still a decent chance for Demercado to contribute later in December, especially after Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Trey Benson (knee) may not return this season.

MarShawn Lloyd RB | GB
Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Won't be activated for Week 14
Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Lloyd won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game. His 21-day window to resume practicing was opened Monday. The 2024 third-round draft pick has yet to suit up in the 2025 regular season.
