J.K. Dobbins Injury Update
Dobbins (ankle) was limited in practice on Tuesday. As of now, there's no indication that he'll miss Saturday's game against the Texans, but managers and bettors should monitor his status over the next couple of days.

Justice Hill Injury Update
Hill (concussion, illness) was limited on Tuesday. It appears that the Ravens' No. 2 running back is progressing through concussion protocol but might not be cleared to play just yet. Despite operating behind Derrick Henry, he remains an appealing option for fantasy managers and sports bettors thanks to his pass-catching role.

Gus Edwards Injury Update
Edwards (ankle) was limited in practice on Tuesday, but there doesn't appear to be much concern about his status for Wild Card Weekend. Assuming Edwards plays this weekend, he'll likely operate behind Dobbins (ankle).

Blake Corum Injury Update
Corum (forearm) has been placed on injured reserve. As the playoffs get underway, the Rams will likely utilize Ronnie Rivers as their No. 2 running back behind workhorse Kyren Williams.
Rams placed RB Blake Corum on season-ending injured reserve and promoted RB Royce Freeman from their practice squad.

David Montgomery Injury Update
The Lions don't play this week, but we still received an update on the status of Montgomery (knee) going forward. He went through a full workout last Saturday, and it sounds like there's a chance that he could play in the Divisional Round. He'd likely operate alongside Jahmyr Gibbs upon his return to action.
From the NBC broadcast, Lions RB David Montgomery went through a full workout for the first time Saturday. Asked if Montgomery could play next week, Dan Campbell told Melissa Stark, "I'm excited. I'll just say that."
