Irving rushed 24 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in one of two targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that stayed with Tampa Bay.

Irving put together a vintage performance on the ground on his way to his second 100-yard effort of the season, both which have come within the last three games. The versatile back was surprisingly involved sparsely as a pass catcher, but Irving helped stake the Buccaneers to a commanding lead with four- and one-yard touchdown runs in the first half. It marked Irving's first multi-TD day of the season on the ground, and he'll next take aim at the defense of another divisional opponent in the Falcons at home next Sunday.

Skattebo told Dan Graziano of ESPN after Sunday's 27-21 overtime win at Houston that he "felt something in his hamstring" during his final carry of the game.

One week removed from not receiving a touch while playing six offensive snaps in a loss to the Saints, Skattebo was back in the saddle in the Giants backfield this Sunday, turning 17 rushes into 124 yards and one touchdown and gathering in his only target for minus-3 yards. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy (hamstring) combined for 15 touches in Week 7. Both Skattebo and Tracy emerged from this contest with health concerns, but with a Week 8 bye on tap for New York, both players will have time to rest up for the team's next game Sunday, Nov. 8 in Philadelphia.

Taylor carried the ball 18 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.

The Colts managed only 218 yards of offense in total, and Taylor had nearly as many rushing yards as Daniel Jones had passing yards. Taylor also scored his team's only TD on a 38-year-old dash in the first quarter. The star RB is still looking for his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season, but he's topped 90 yards in five of seven games and has produced 100-plus scrimmage yards four times while racking up eight scores on the ground. Taylor will face another tough run defense in Week 8 versus the Jaguars.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Jones aggravated a previous knee injury during Sunday's 16-10 win against the Colts, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Jones exited in the fourth quarter of Week 7 action, and while he was considered questionable to return, he remained on the sideline. He missed time in two prior contests this season due to a knee issue but has been able to suit up for all seven contests. Jones and the Vikings next take the field Sunday, Nov. 1, in Detroit, so his status will be monitored to see if he's in danger of an absence. Fellow RB Jordan Mason (thumb) returned from IR on Sunday, turning 15 carries into 68 yards.

Gordon rushed 25 times for 103 yards and a touchdown while catching one of three targets for no gain in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Gordon extended his touchdown streak to four games with a one-yard rushing score in the first quarter. Over that four-game span, Gordon has 69 carries for 332 yards and four touchdowns, having established himself as the go-to option in Miami's backfield following De'Von Achane's season-ending ACL tear. If the 1-5 Dolphins can stay competitive at home against the Patriots in Week 8, Gordon would be in line to handle another heavy rushing workload, especially if Jaylen Wright (quadriceps) doesn't play after exiting Sunday's win.

Allen rushed 17 times for 104 yards and caught six of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Allen worked as the lead back for a fourth consecutive game, as Breece Hall (quadriceps) was ultimately inactive after being listed as questionable heading into the game. The 235-pound Allen continued to struggle in short yardage, getting stuffed on a goal-line attempt in the fourth quarter as the Jets were denied a game-tying touchdown and instead settled for a field goal to cut the deficit to four points with 8:57 remaining. Allen has exceeded 100 rushing yards twice during Hall's absence but has just one touchdown over that span and two touchdowns this season. Hall worked ahead of Allen prior to getting hurt, but they may split the backfield workload more evenly if Hall's cleared to return against the Raiders in Week 8.

Wright (quadriceps) left Sunday's game against the Jets early and did not return.

Wright exited the contest in the late fourth quarter with a quad injury. The reserve running back was assisting the Dolphins in running out the clock when he sustained the injury. Wright had six carries for eight yards in the 28-25 win over the Jets.

Marks (leg) returned to Sunday's contest against the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Marks visited the sideline tent in the third quarter but was able to get back on the field in the fourth after having his left leg examined in the medical tent. He'll continue to power the Texans backfield with David Montgomery (groin) inactive for a second straight game.

Marks visited the sideline tent during Sunday's contest against the Giants due to an apparent left leg injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Marks walked off the field without a noticeable limp late in the third quarter to be examined. The Texans have only one other healthy running back (Dare Ogunbowale) on the game-day roster with David Montgomery (groin) sidelined for a second game in a row.

Jones (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.

Jones went to the blue medical tent immediately following his 17-yar run in the third quarter. While he's on the sidelines being evaluated, Jordan Mason and DeeJay Dallas are both in line for additional snaps on offense.
