  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: Cleared from injury report

    Monangai (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

    Monangai made it back to full participation Friday after missing Wednesday's practice and being limited Thursday. He should be fine for his usual role as the 1B to D'Andre Swift's 1A, but a matchup with the Packers could make it difficult to pile up rushing volume the way the Bears did in some of their recent games.

  • Ty Chandler RB | MIN

    Vikings' Ty Chandler: Questionable but still on IR

    Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Chandler would first have to be officially activated from injured reserve to play Sunday. He has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury Week 1, but Chandler's window to return to practice opened Wednesday. Even if Chandler's activated ahead of Sunday's game, he's unlikely to play a significant role in Minnesota's backfield mix on offense, though he could factor in as a return man on special teams.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Cleared to play

    Jones (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.

    This will be the second time this year that Jones exited a game with an injury and didn't return but then came back to play the next week. He handled his normal workload the previous time, and he's generally been well ahead of Jordan Mason since returning from a multi-week absence in September/October.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Set to retain lead role

    Neal is expected to lead the Saints backfield Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out.

    Kamara will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained MCL. In Kamara's absence, Neal rushed 14 times for 47 yards and caught all three of his targets for 22 yards during this past Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Dolphins. Evan Hull and Audric Estime also are on the active roster, but they have combined for five carries and no targets this season.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Missing second consecutive game

    Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Kamara was unable to practice in any capacity for a second consecutive week and will miss a second straight game due to a sprained MCL he sustained in New Orleans' Week 12 loss to the Falcons. Devin Neal is expected to lead the Saints backfield again after turning 17 touches into 69 total yards in this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. Kamara's next chance to take the field will come Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Panthers.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Not practicing Friday

    Kamara (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Continued absences from practice make Kamara highly likely to miss a second straight game this Sunday against Tampa Bay. Rookie running back Devin Neal played 81 percent of snaps in last week's loss at Miami.

  • Dylan Sampson RB | CLE

    Browns' Dylan Sampson: Questionable for Sunday

    Sampson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Sampson exited in the second half of this past Sunday's loss to the 49ers due to a calf injury that left him day-to-day. After not practicing Wednesday and Thursday, he was spotted in drills at Friday's session, which was enough for the Browns to give him a chance to play Week 14. Assuming he's confirmed active ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Sampson will join Jerome Ford as the reserve RBs behind starter Quinshon Judkins.

  • Trey Benson RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey Benson: Out Week 14, may not return in 2025

    Benson (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Rams and isn't certain to be activated from injured reserve this season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    On Friday, Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon didn't go into any detail but acknowledged the possibility of Benson missing the rest of the season. The team opened his 21-day practice window two weeks ago, with Benson initially logging limited practices before downgrading to non-participation last Thursday. He hasn't practiced since, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter to handle backfield reps, with Emari Demercado (ankle) perhaps now set to reenter the mix after missing Weeks 12 and 13. In order for Benson to play again this season, he would need to be activated from IR by the middle of next week, even if he's not ready to play by next Sunday.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Long TD run in primetime win

    Montgomery rushed six times for 60 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for 13 yards in the Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

    Montgomery logged his fourth consecutive single-digit carry tally, but he produced his best yardage total over that span by far with a big hand from his impressive 35-yard touchdown run up the middle in the latter portion of the second quarter. The veteran back crossed the 600-yard mark on the ground for the season as well with Thursday's production, and he's recorded a rushing score in consecutive games heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Gets into end zone in loss

    Williams rushed 17 times for 67 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for no gain in the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

    Williams put together a workmanlike effort that included his ninth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard run early in the third quarter. The veteran back eclipsed the 60-yard mark on the ground for the fourth time in the last five games, although he averaged under 4.0 yards per carry for the second straight contest. Williams also crossed the 1,000-yard mark for the season with Thursday's production, and he'll look to exploit a vulnerable Vikings run defense in a Week 15 Sunday night home matchup on Dec. 14.
