Bigsby carried three times for five yards and failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 34-3 loss to San Francisco.

Starter Travis Etienne had a season-low 11 touches in the blowout, but the lopsided score didn't benefit Bigsby much, as he played just 10 offensive snaps. No. 3 back D'Ernest Johnson had a similar snap count but turned five touches into 40 yards, which eclipsed Bigsby's total yards from scrimmage from the past five games combined.

The Patriots claimed Hasty off waivers from the Jaguars on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Hasty was waived by Jacksonville over the weekend after playing just six offensive snaps behind Travis Etienne and rookie Tank Bigsby. In New England, Hasty will try to carve out a role on special teams and as a depth running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott.

Breida rushed once for three yards and didn't receiving any targets in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Dallas.

The Giants fell behind 42-7 after three quarters but continued to ride with Saquon Barkley into the fourth period. Barkley was eventually pulled, but it was Jashaun Corbin rather than Breida who saw mop-up work near the end of the contest. Breida logged just 13 offensive snaps in the loss, while Barkley tallied 35 and Corbin totaled 15. The Giants have been among the league's worst teams this season, so they may decide to lessen Barkley's workload at some point as they push for a high draft pick rather than a playoff spot. Still, it would likely be youngsters like Corbin and Eric Gray (calf, IR) who see more work in that scenario rather than the veteran Breida.

Abdullah caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.

Abdullah earned just one touch across his 10 offensive snaps on Sunday Night Football, while starter Josh Jacobs retained a workhorse role with 27 carries for 116 yards to go along with two catches on as many targets for 11 yards. Expect a similarly light backfield split for Abdullah against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Stevenson's back injury is not considered serious, and tests came back negative, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Stevenson briefly exited Sunday's loss to the Colts but returned to the game and finished with season-highs in carries (20) and rushing yards (88) on his way to 102 total yards. The Patriots have a Week 11 bye for Stevenson to get some rest, but there doesn't appear to be any concern about his availability the following week against the Giants.

Mattison is in the league's concussion protocol Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Mattison left Sunday's game against the Saints in the third quarter and never returned to action. With Cam Akers (Achilles) already done for the rest of the season, the Vikings will be left with Ty Chandler, Kene Nwangwu and practice-squad members Myles Gaskin and DeWayne McBride in the backfield if Mattison is unable to play Week 11 against the Broncos.

Carter didn't record a rushing attempt and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.

Carter took advantage of some extra usage in a blowout Week 9 loss en route to a season-high six catches, but this game was competitive throughout, so Carter ceded the majority of snaps to Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook. Hall was on the field for 46 of New York's 66 offensive snaps, while Cook played 10 and Carter played nine.

Cook rushed four times for 26 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.

Cook tied his season long with a 10-yard run in the second quarter. He also had his most efficient outing on the ground as a member of the Jets, as Cook's previous single-game best was 4.0 YPC. Breece Hall was held to just 28 rushing yards on 13 carries, but Cook's limited usage despite Hall's struggles just highlights how large the gap in role between the two running backs has grown.

Mostert (undisclosed) is not participating in Monday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Monday's practice is unofficial, so the Dolphins won't release an injury report to confirm Mostert's status, but it's possible he's simply benefiting from a veteran rest day. Mostert appeared fully healthy entering the team's bye, but with De'Von Achane (knee) having been designated for a return from IR, the backfield situation warrants close monitoring heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. If both Mostert and Achane are cleared to play, they will stand to split time as effective co-starters.

Spears rushed five times for 18 yards and brought in four of five targets for 42 yards in the Titans' 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Spears duplicated his modest rushing line from a Week 9 loss to the Steelers and gained all but three of his yards on one carry, but he made much more of an impact through the air. The rookie finished with a team-high reception total and was second only to Kyle Philips in receiving yards with a total that qualified as his best single-game figure yet. Spears has now played 77 snaps from scrimmage over the last two games, and it remains to be seen if he'll begin commanding a larger share of the rushing workload at the expense of Derrick Henry in a Week 11 road matchup against the Jaguars.
