Jaguars | Chris Rodriguez Jr. limited again on Thursday Thu Nov 12, 04:30 PM
Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) was limited at practice on Thursday. He was also limited on Wednesday. The Jaguars visit the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez has been limited by this hand injury, just like he was last week (although he was not on the final injury report last Friday). Even though he's not 100 percent, Rodriguez gets work behind Bhayshul Tuten. This week, Tuten is one again working through ankle/foot problems during the week of practice. We like Rodriguez as an RB4/deep flex option in Week 10. |

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) worked out on a side field during Thursday's practice, ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Head coach Robert Saleh said on Monday that Spears was dealing with an injury.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was back at practice on Thursday. Hubbard did not practice on Wednesday, which the team treated as a 'vet day', as Carolina prepares for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Saints.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard has a big workload for the Panthers, so he's going to get some mid-week rest days. Jonathon Brooks is back to practicing for the Panthers, but it's not clear if he's going to play in Week 10. If Brooks does play against the Saints, he's only a change-of-pace back behind Hubbard. With his role, Hubbard is an RB1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (finger) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Jacobs had surgery on a fractured finger this week and has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs could return as quickly as two to three weeks, according to reports. That means the Packers are going to lean on Pierre Strong and Kaleb Johnson while Jacobs is out. We've got both in the RB4/deep flex range for Fantasy GMs. Marshawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks could work into the mix as well. |

Texans RB Woody Marks dealt with mild knee discomfort in practice on Wednesday and did not finish the session for precautionary reasons, according to a league source. Marks was not practicing so far on Thursday, and the team is taking a wait-and-see approach on his status.
| Footballguys view: David Montgomery was back at practice on Thursday, but there's no guarantee he's going to play. Marks has been the lead back with Montgomery out, but now he's dealing with mild knee discomfort. Friday will be a big day and give us more information about what the Texans' backfield could look like in Week 10. |
Woody Marks player page
Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) returned to practice on Thursday. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said the team was pleased with the progress Montgomery was making.
| Footballguys view: It's progress for Montgomery here. Whether Montgomery will play in Sunday's Week 10 game at the Browns is still up in the air. Woody Marks is in line to get the starter's workload if Montgomery still needs more time to heal. However, Marks missed practice on Thursday so now his status is a question mark. |

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was working off to the side at Thursday's practice in Munich. There is "still a chance he could play Sunday" against the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson did not practice on Wednesday, and he was expected on Monday to miss the "next few weeks" with a plantaris tendon issue. A Thursday update is something but certainly no guarantee he's suiting up. Corey Kiner is the lead back for the Patriots if Stevenson can't go. If Stevenson doesn't play, Kiner should produce like an RB2/flex option. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was present for the team's one-hour jogthrough in Munich on Thursday, the morning the Patriots arrived. He jogged off to the side but did not take part in stretching.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson did not practice on Wednesday and was reported on Monday to be expected to miss the 'next few weeks' with a plantaris tendon issue in his knee. The Patriots play the Lions on Sunday, then they have a bye in Week 11. Corey Kiner is the lead back for the Patriots with Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson out of action. We like Kiner as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Cardinals RB Bam Knight (concussion) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Knight was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Seahawks with the concussion. Arizona hosts the Rams on Sunday.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was listed with a veteran rest day on Wednesday's practice report. OT Trent Williams and LB Dre Greenlaw also received veteran rest days, and they were the only additions to the team's expected Wednesday participation report.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday as New England began preparations for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Lions. Stevenson was reported on Monday to be expected to miss the 'next few weeks' with a plantaris tendon issue that is not expected to require surgery.

Texans RB Woody Marks was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday because of a knee injury.

The Patriots have ruled out RB TreVeyon Henderson for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Lions in Germany, announcing the decision with Wednesday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Henderson also missed the Week 9 game against the Packers after reporting unexplained neurological symptoms; a stroke was ruled out 'for now', and testing was described as 'reassuring'. |

Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Jacksonville visits the Titans on Sunday.

Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. returned to practice on Wednesday. Etienne was placed on injured reserve in early October with a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Etienne's 21-day practice window is open. The team can choose to activate him or shut him down, so they need to see how he does in practice before determining that outcome. Etienne could be out there against the Panthers in Week 10. If not, Audric Estime would be in line for a healthy role (RB2/flex option). |
Travis Etienne Jr. player page
Giants RB Cam Skattebo is expected to return for Thursday night's game against the Commanders after missing last week's road win over the Eagles with a hamstring injury. Skattebo will remain New York's lead back for now, ahead of Devin Singletary and Greg Desrosiers Jr., after the Giants explored backfield upgrades before the trade deadline. He leads the team with 418 rushing yards and two touchdowns at 4.3 yards per carry but has fumbled four times this season.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo was able to practice fully this week, and he's ready to go for Thursday's NFC East matchup. We like Skattebo in the RB2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) was not seen at the portion of practice open to reporters on Wednesday. He is "still considered week-to-week" but "could return with the next week or so."
| Footballguys view: Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said on Monday he was hopeful Montgomery would practice this week or next. It's not a great sign that Montgomery is not out there on Wednesday, but it doesn't mean they won't start working him back into the mix later in the week. |
David Montgomery player page
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was not in uniform at the start of practice on Wednesday. The beat writer suggested it "could be a vet day."
| Footballguys view: We don't think this is a big deal. Hubbard also had a rest day on a Wednesday in October before returning to full practice that Thursday. |
Chuba Hubbard player page
Packers RB Josh Jacobs will miss Sunday's Week 10 game against the Vikings and will have surgery later this week on his broken ring finger. Jacobs could return as quickly as two to three weeks, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Green Bay will decide on Saturday whether injured reserve is necessary, but it is not guaranteed. The Packers have their bye after the Vikings game, and Jacobs has a shot to return after that. Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong (both RB4/deep flex options) will work in tandem for the Packers' backfield. Marshawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks are there as well to help while Jacobs misses time. |
Josh Jacobs player page
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten was working inside during the open media portion of practice on Wednesday. WR Jakobi Meyers was also inside during that portion of practice.
| Footballguys view: Tuten didn't practice at all last week, but he still rushed 12 times for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' Week 9 win over the Ravens. He could be in line for the same treatment during the week this time around as the team prepares for a game against the hapless Titans. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
The Panthers opened the 21-day practice window for RB Jonathon Brooks on Wednesday as he works back from injured reserve. Brooks is set to return to the practice field this week and has three weeks to practice. He would still need to be added back to the active roster to appear in a game.
| Footballguys view: Go ahead and stash Brooks on your bench if you play in a deeper league. He's practicing in full on Wednesday, so there's a chance Brooks could get back out there in Week 10. He's a talented but oft-injured back who will get on the field as a change-of-pace back behind Chubba Hubbard. The talent is there for him to do more, but perhaps a limited role can keep him healthy for the first time *checks notes* ever with the Panthers. |

Jets RB Breece Hall, QB Geno Smith, WR Garrett Wilson, DE Will McDonald IV and CB Nahshon Wright all remain on the roster after the NFL trade deadline passed on Tuesday. The Jets' only deadline trade sent Cisco to the Lions, Darren Mougey's 15th player trade since August 2025.

The Titans are keeping RB Tony Pollard despite interest from other teams, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Tennessee had told teams it did not want to trade offensive players like Pollard. Pollard ran for 117 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Bengals on Nov. 1. Expect him to remain the primary offensive weapon as the Titans hope to field an effective enough offense to get the best look possible at Cam Ward as they evaluate the young QB's long-term outlook. |
Tony Pollard player page
The Colts will not trade RB Jonathan Taylor before Tuesday's trade deadline. Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor, but the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider a deal. "Instead, Taylor stays in Indy."
| Footballguys view: Taylor, who signed a two-year, $44 million extension in August, has cap hits over $20 million in 2027 and 2028. He's the only RB with a cap number of at least $20 million in each of the next two years, which may have been a factor for suitors. Now, with Keenan Allen (49ers) and Josh Downs (Chiefs) moving on, Taylor and Daniel Jones will apparently be part of a rebuild in Indy. The Colts have no first-rounder in the upcoming draft, because they traded it to the Jets in the Sauce Gardner deal last year. |

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was participating in practice on Tuesday, the team's lone practice during a short week. Skattebo did not play in Sunday's win over the Eagles because of the hamstring injury. The Giants had perfect attendance at the session.

The Cowboys are signing RB Kendre Miller to their practice squad as Dallas looks for running back help after RB Tyler Goodson injured his knee against the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Miller was released by the Saints last week. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had said on 105.3 The Fan that the team will add a running back, most likely a free agent. Miller had 57 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns, plus nine catches for 37 yards, for the Saints. |
Kendre Miller player page
Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson is dealing with a sprained MCL and ACL in his knee, according to a source. Owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that the team will add a running back that day, and it will be via a free-agent signing rather than a trade.
| Footballguys view: With Goodson set for a multi-week absence, and with Malik Davis on injured reserve, Javonte Williams and fullback Hunter Luepke are the only healthy backfield options. We'll be watching for possible additions, but Williams' high-volume role is secure heading into the fantasy stretch run. |
Tyler Goodson player page
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon issue that is not expected to require surgery but could sideline him for a short period of time, a source said on Monday. Stevenson left Sunday's loss to the Packers with the knee injury and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson sustained the injury late in the third quarter of the Patriots' blowout loss to the Packers on Sunday, when he was twisted down on a 6-yard reception. The Patriots trailed 42-14 at the time. With No. 2 running back TreVeyon Henderson missing the past two games because of an illness, the Patriots could be down to their third and fourth options -- Corey Kiner and Lan Larison, respectively -- for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions in Munich. Kiner, whom the Patriots acquired in a trade with the Cardinals on Aug. 29, could get an increased workload. |

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook III ran 31 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.7.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) would have been a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, as the Giants held only a walkthrough. Skattebo did not play in Sunday's win over the Eagles. No Giants player was listed as a non-participant to start the short week ahead of Thursday's Week 10 game against the Commanders.

Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson will miss "multiple weeks" with a knee injury, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Goodson was injured in Sunday's win over the Colts. Dallas has become more reliant on the run, but will now need to look elsewhere for additional depth behind Javonte Williams until Goodson is healthy enough to return to the field. |
Tyler Goodson player page
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that he's hopeful to get RB David Montgomery (groin) practicing this week or next week. Ryans said he is pleased with Montgomery's 'progress.'
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was injured in an Oct. 11 game against the Titans and has missed the past three games. The Texans traded for Montgomery in the offseason, and he has 52 carries for 138 yards and two touchdowns, while adding seven catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Woody Marks has served as the team's primary back in Montgomery's absence. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery on his fractured finger and "is expected to miss a maximum of three weeks," The Athletic's Matt Zenitz reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Patriots. He has 80 rushing yards on 36 carries (2.2 yards per carry) this season. With MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks missing Sunday's game, Kaleb Johnson filled in and finished with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. We'll be watching for more on Brooks and Lloyd when the team begins preparing for Sunday's game against the Vikings. |

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team will have to see how the next two days go before deciding whether to open the 21-day practice window for RB Jonathon Brooks, who was placed on injured reserve in September following core muscle surgery.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com reported, Brooks, who remains on IR, was seen working off to the side during the Panthers' unofficial practice last Tuesday, perhaps signaling some progress for the oft-injured RB, who last saw game action in Week 2. In Brooks' absence, Chuba Hubbard has dominated Carolina's backfield touches. Hubbard is currently RB10 overall through Sunday's Week 9 games. |

Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson (knee) is "probably gonna miss some time," Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday. "He's got a real injury that unfortunately he's probably gonna miss some time with," Jones said.
| Footballguys view: Goodson was hurt in Sunday's win over the Colts and was initially questionable to return before going back into the game. As SI.com noted, Goodson's injury stings because he provided some explosiveness to the running game as the offense was attempting to get back on track. Dallas has become more reliant on the run, but will now need to look elsewhere for additional depth behind Javonte Williams until Goodson is healthy enough to return to the field. |

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving has run well but is on pace for 315 rushing attempts this season. Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that the team will have to try and lessen the load on Irving after the bye week.
| Footballguys view: Irving had a game-high 97 yards on 20 carries and both of Tampa's touchdowns in Sunday night's loss to the Bears. He added a team-high four receptions for 28 yards. With Tampa sitting at 3-0 this season when Irving hits 100 yards rushing, he fell just short this night, and so did the Bucs. The question is, will limiting his workload also limit the offense? We'll be watching for more on this over the Buccaneers bye week. |

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty played 64% of the team's offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. played 34% of the offensive snaps. In the previous week's win over the Jets, Washington out-snapped Jeanty 38-25.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders' running back situation has been awful all season, but it hit a new low in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Jeanty had a historically bad game catching passes out of the backfield, finishing with five catches for negative five yards. Jeanty was their leading rusher, with 25 yards on six carries. Washington had six carries for negative three yards. Between the two of them, Jeanty and Washington had 17 touches for 17 yards. Things won't get easier for the duo going up against the Seahawks in Week 10. |

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was "very close" to playing in Sunday's win over the Eagles, head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday. The team chose not to take that risk, but the expectation is that Skattebo will be "full go" for Thursday night's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo suffered a hamstring injury late in the Giants' Week 7 win over the Texans and missed practice for two days coming out of the bye week. He returned on Friday, but the team had this week's quick turnaround in mind when making a plan for managing his health. With Skattebo watching from the sideline, Devin Singletary was the lead back for the Giants against the Eagles, and he ran 21 times for 31 yards. Gregory Desrosiers had 20 yards on three carries. |

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said on Monday that he feels good about the team's running backs. Saleh said RB Nicholas Singleton is getting better and acknowledged that RB Tyjae Spears is dealing with an injury. He also mentioned that RB Michael Carter has filled in well. Spears was ruled out of the Week 8 game against the Bengals with a knee injury.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson played 22 more offensive snaps than RB Quinshon Judkins in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Saints.
| Footballguys view: Judkins still ran the ball 15 times for 43 yards, but as Pro Football Focus noted, his receiving production has plummeted since Sampson's return, with four receptions over the last three games. Sampson ran eight times and was no more effective, but he caught three passes for 27 yards. As PFF's Nathan Jahnke pointed out, the Browns have a generally favorable schedule for running backs, so there could be some games where Judkins can be in fantasy starting lineups. However, if the Browns are underdogs, it may make sense to consider Sampson more than Judkins. |

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson's knee injury is the "top concern" coming out of Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers. Stevenson injured his knee with 3:29 left in the third quarter and did not return. He played 38 offensive snaps before exiting.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson played 38 of 63 offensive snaps (60%) before departing. With RB TreVeyon Henderson already out due to an illness, RBs Corey Kiner and Lan Larison are next on the depth chart. They are likely to see increased opportunities should Stevenson show any signs of limitations heading into the Week 10 game against Detroit in Munich. Larison played 14 snaps and Kiner 11 on Sunday. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving ran 20 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 4 passes for 28 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 13.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.5.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs fractured a finger in Sunday's win over the Patriots, head coach Matt LaFleur said. "Hopefully, we can do something to allow him to go out there. But he was having a hard time gripping the ball," LaFleur said. Jacobs left Sunday's game with the hand injury.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs left the 45-27 win in the first quarter. His day ended with five yards on four carries. With MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks missing the game, Kaleb Johnson filled in and finished with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. The health of Green Bay's backfield will be something to monitor heading into next Sunday's game against the Vikings. |

Green Bay Packers RB Kaleb Johnson ran 14 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 0.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.8.
