- RB Allen Patrick was signed to the Jaguars' practice squad.

- Slaton doesn't seem overly concerned about the shoulder issue that kept him out of practice Wednesday, the Texans' official site reports. "It's feeling good. I should be back hopefully tomorrow, just running around a little bit," Slaton said Wednesday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: "Yeah, it's a short week and turnaround," Slaton added. "So we took a day off to rest it." More on his status in the coming days, but what his role will be in Week 12 seems more of a question mark than his availability.
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Steve Slaton, who hasn't run well and has lost five of seven games, has still scored seven touchdowns. He scored 10 as a rookie last season. Four of Slaton's touchdowns have been as a receiver. Because he hasn't run effectively or consistently, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has involved him in the passing game. Interesting that Slaton would experience a sophomore slump and still have a shot at scoring more touchdowns than he did last season.(Yahoo! Sports)
Sat, Nov 21
- RB Steve Slaton will start against Tennessee on Sunday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Ryan Moats started the team's last game.(Yahoo! Sports)

- Bradshaw won't play at Denver on Thursday because of a sprained left ankle.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Bradshaw was hurt during the Giants' 34-31 overtime win over Atlanta on Sunday. He's second on the team with 549 yards rushing. - RB Ahmad Bradshaw will not play against the Denver Broncos on Thanksgiving night. Bradshaw, who didn't accompany the team on its trip, has been playing most of the season with a right foot injury consisting of a sore ankle and a cracked bone in his fifth metatarsal (pinkie toe).(Yahoo! Sports)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), who has been wearing a boot on his right foot for most of the season, suffered a new injury in the Giants' victory over Atlanta, this one to his left ankle. Bradshaw, who didn't practice Monday or Tuesday, was seen on crutches. "After the game, we thought it was just an ankle sprain, but evidentially it's more severe than that, so he's in a boot," said head coach Tom Coughlin. If Bradshaw can't play Thursday, third-year man Danny Ware, who last week did well in his limited snaps as part of the third down package, will take his reps, while rookie Gartrell Johnson, who has been inactive since Ware's return, would likely be activated.(Yahoo! Sports)

- RB Cedric Benson remains day-to-day with a hip flexor injury. In two games against the Browns he has 245 yards on 56 carries.(Yahoo! Sports)
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Cedric Benson was made inactive due to his hip flexor injury Sunday. Benson was out running on the field two hours before the game, but it looked mainly to be conditioning drills. His status for the Cleveland game remains doubtful.(Yahoo! Sports)
(Min - RB) 
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Chester Taylor had a season-high 73 yards on 11 carries and caught two passes for 12 yards against the Seahawks. The 73 yards rushing is Taylor's highest total since he ran for 83 yards in the 2007 regular-season finale at Denver. Taylor's longest run of the day Sunday was a 25-yarder, making it the first time this season he has had a rush go for more yards in a game than Peterson. Peterson's longest dash was only 16 yards.(Yahoo! Sports)
(Buf - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Marshawn Lynch, who left Sunday's loss at Jacksonville with a shoulder injury in the first half and did not return, is feeling better and there's a chance he could be fine for this week's home game against Miami. He'll see limited practice time and a decision may not come until later in the week.(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 23
- Lynch left Sunday's game at Jacksonville with a shoulder injury.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Lynch was taken to the locker room on a cart in the second quarter. He returned to the field after halftime wearing street clothes. - RB Marshawn Lynch suffered a shoulder injury while losing a fumble in the second quarter. His status for this week's game against Miami will be determined later in the week, but if he's out, Fred Jackson will take over as the starter and the Bills will either have to sign a running back because Jackson and Lynch are the only two on the active roster, or bring up Bruce Hall from the practice squad.(Yahoo! Sports)
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Marshawn Lynch gained only 18 yards on eight carries and lost a fumble before suffering a shoulder injury.(Yahoo! Sports)
(KC - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Kolby Smith came out of the Pittsburgh game with an ankle injury and he was limited in practice as the Chiefs began preparations for their game in San Diego this coming Sunday.(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 23
- RB Kolby Smith suffered an ankle injury against Pittsburgh on Sunday, and his status for this weekend's game against San Diego is unknown. Some indication will be available on Tuesday, as the Chiefs will practice, breaking their normal routine of taking Tuesday's off.(Yahoo! Sports)
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Kolby Smith left the game in the first half with an ankle injury after running the ball once for 3 yards. Smith's injury did not appear to be serious after the game, but if he's out for any length of time it puts the Chiefs in a bind with their running game now that Larry Johnson is gone. New starter Jamaal Charles does not have the body type to be able to withstand the pounding of 20 carries per game.(Yahoo! Sports)
- Smith injured his left ankle and will probably not return to Sunday's game.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Smith made his first carry against the Pittsburgh Steelers and then limped off the field. He was activated two weeks ago after missing a year with knee surgery.
(Was - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Rock Cartwright's 73 receiving yards last Sunday at Dallas were the most his eight-year career.(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 23
- RB Rock Cartwright will start this week for the first time since 2003, as RB Clinton Portis (concussion) is still sidelined and RB Ladell Betts (knee) was placed on injured reserve.(Yahoo! Sports)
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Rock Cartwright gained 67 yards on 13 carries -- his most attempts since 2003 -- and caught six passes for 66 yards, both career highs.(Yahoo! Sports)
(Mia - RB)
Tue, Nov 24

(NYG - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- Jacobs says his right leg feels "really good" after injuring it against Atlanta, and he could've returned to the game Sunday.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Jacobs missed the fourth quarter and overtime in the Giants' 34-31 win after he was tackled by Thomas DeCoud and Stephen Nicholas on a 5-yard run late in the third quarter. Jacobs says it "wasn't anything bad," and participated in full practice on Monday and was expected to again on Tuesday. He walked through the locker room without being visibly hindered and should be ready to go against Denver on Thursday night.
Mon, Nov 23
- RB Brandon Jacobs, who suffered a leg injury late in the third quarter of the Giants' win against Atlanta, was not on the team's injury report. Jacobs, who suffered the injury late in the third quarter, told reporters after the game that he probably could have returned, but head coach Tom Coughlin said that the team's medical personnel didn't feel it would be wise, and as such kept him out for the rest of the game.(Yahoo! Sports)
- Jacobs continued his awful season with 12 carries for 39 yards and a TD in Sunday's 34-31 OT win over the Falcons.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Jacobs was fantasy gold last season with 15 TDs. He has scored three times this season and failed to reach 50 yards for the third time this year. That kind of production is embarrassing for a running back once considered to be closing in on elite status.
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Brandon Jacobs suffered a leg injury late in the third quarter Sunday when he was hit just above his knee by an Atlanta defender. He did not return to the game after that hit and his status for the upcoming practice week was not immediately known.(Yahoo! Sports)

Tue, Nov 24
- Betts, the fill-in for injured Clinton Portis, was knocked out of the 7-6 loss at Dallas on Sunday with a left knee injury and is out for the season.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Betts apparently got hurt on a hard tackle by Bradie James at the end of a 2-yard gain midway through the first quarter Sunday.
Mon, Nov 23
- RB Ladell Betts suffered a torn ACL and MCL and will require season-ending knee surgery, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.(Yahoo! Sports)
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Ladell Betts tore a ligament in his left knee during the first quarter Sunday and will be out a minimum of two weeks.(Yahoo! Sports)
(Atl - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Michael Turner doesn't want to miss the team's playoff push, but his ankle might have more to say about that. He's pushing hard to get back on the field after suffering a high right ankle sprain against Carolina. He missed the game last week against the New York Giants, but is holding out hope that he can return this week. "I'm just taking it easy right now and hoping for the best," Turner said Monday. The team's leading rushing, Turner didn't even test the injury, suffered against Carolina on Nov.15, by running on the field before Sunday's. "We didn't get that far," Turner said. If Turner can't go, Jason Snelling would fill in at his spot for the second consecutive week. The Falcons may also get a boost with the return of Jerious Norwood. He returned to practice last week, but has missed five straight games with a right hip flexor. "It's an ankle sprain," Turner said. "These injuries are kind of like funny. Some guys take six weeks to bounce back, but I don't think I'll take that long. I'm just trying to get back to my normal self again." Turner has been a fast healer before. While playing in college at Northern Illinois in 2001, Turner suffered a sprained left ankle and missed only one game. He was reluctant to compare that old injury to this one. "In ‘01, I can't remember that far back," said Turner. "They don't ever tell you exactly. They just project how long you can be out. It's not you're definitely out this amount of time because it's a sprain. It could easily heal back faster than expected."(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 23
- RB Michael Turner (high right ankle sprain) is hoping to come back faster than anticipated. But two weeks might still be too optimistic given his injury.(Yahoo! Sports)
Sat, Nov 21
- RB Michael Turner could miss anywhere from four to six weeks with a high right ankle sprain suffered Sunday, but the Falcons are hoping he's a quick healer. He is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday.(Yahoo! Sports)
(Car - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB DeAngelo Williams continues to mount solid yards and is third in the NFC in rushing with 982 yards despite splitting time with Jonathan Stewart. He has seven touchdowns.(Yahoo! Sports)
Fri, Nov 20
- Williams had 13 carries for 122 yards Thursday in a 24-17 loss to Miami.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Williams has topped 100 yards four times in the last six weeks. Fantasy owners must be loving his production, particular his per-carry average.
(NE - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Laurence Maroney scored a pair of rushing touchdowns against New York, reaching the end zone for the fifth straight game. The fourth-year runner leads the Patriots with six rushing scores on the season.(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 23
- Maroney ran for two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Jets.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Maroney has rushed for at least one TD in his last five games.
(Phi - RB)
Tue, Nov 24

(GB - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Ryan Grant appears on the injury report this week for an unspecified neck injury that cropped up following the victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Grant went through the team's full practice Tuesday and should be OK to handle the bulk of the carries against the Detroit Lions on Thursday.(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 23
- Grant ran for 129 yards on 21 carries in the Packers' 30-24 win over the 49ers on Sunday.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Grant has 5 rushing TDs this season, and that's not nearly enough to please most fantasy owners. Grant needs to find the end zone more.
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Ryan Grant contributed to the big day by the Packers offense, which produced a season-high 484 yards, with 129 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. It was Grant's second 100-yard game this season.(Yahoo! Sports)
(Ind - RB)
Tue, Nov 24
- RB Joseph Addai has rushed for a team-leading 514 yards this year. Addai needs 30 more yards to surpass the 544 yards that he had during the 2008 season. He had a career-best 1,081 yards as a rookie in 2006.(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 23
- Addai ran 19 times for 74 yards and a TD Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Addai won't put up many big numbers for the Peyton Manning-led Colts, but he put a great move to leave Ravens LB Ray Lewis in his tracks on his 5-yard TD run in the second quarter. Addai has rewarded fantasy owners with seven scores on the ground.
Sun, Nov 22
- RB Joseph Addai rushed for a season-high 74 yards on 19 carries Sunday. He also scored on a 5-yard touchdown run in the second quarter against the Ravens. Addai has 10 touchdowns this season, seven on the ground and three through the air.(Yahoo! Sports)
