Q

Vaki played through the same injury last week, taking five touches for 21 yards in a 19-9 win over the Dolphins. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week, but a return to practice Friday puts him on track to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. If Vaki doesn't end up playing, Jacob Saylors will step into the No. 2 RB role behind workhorse Jahmyr Gibbs.
