Darrell Henderson Jr. RB | LAR
Rams' Darrell Henderson: Returns to practice squad
Henderson reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.
For the second straight game, Henderson and Royce Freeman split L.A.'s backfield reps with Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) on injured reserve. Henderson's 29 (of 62) offensive snaps translated to 15 touches for 85 yards from scrimmage, while Freeman's 33 plays went for nine carries for 44 yards and one touchdown. The Rams have one elevation remaining to use on Henderson, so expect him to rejoin the active roster for Sunday's visit to Green Bay.

Owen Wright RB | TB
Owen Wright: Reverts to practice squad
Wright reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday.
Wright played eight snaps on special teams but didn't log any stats during the team's win versus the Cardinals on Sunday. The 24-year-old was filling in for Keaton Mitchell, who was out with a hamstring injury, and Wright will now wait for his next opportunity to be called up for action

Jordan Wilkins RB | CLE
Jordan Wilkins: Back to practice squad
Wilkins reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday.
Wilkins was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, but he was a healthy scratch for the contest. He joined the active roster in case Jerome Ford (ankle) was unable to play, but Ford was active for the game. Wilkins will now continue to wait for his first appearance with Cleveland.

Damien Williams RB | ARI
Cardinals' Damien Williams: Heads back to practice squad
Williams (foot) reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.
Williams made an early exit from Sunday's loss to the Ravens late in the second quarter and was unable to return, finishing Week 8 with two carries for five yards and one catch (on one target) for four yards. Arizona has elevated him three times from the practice squad, so the team must sign him to the active roster in order for him to be a part of its backfield. Having said that, Williams' health might prevent that from happening in the short term.

Miles Sanders RB | DAL
Panthers' Miles Sanders: Limited in return
Sanders rushed twice for no yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 15-13 win over the Texans.
Sanders missed Carolina's last game while carrying a shoulder injury. Although he returned to action Sunday, his involvement was limited to just 12 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, fellow tailback Chuba Hubbard played 40 snaps, yet he managed only 54 yards on 17 touches. Sanders' production has been underwhelming since joining the Panthers this term, but his return to health should lend itself to more chances to impress in the coming weeks.

Tyjae Spears RB | TEN
Titans' Tyjae Spears: Limited by ankle issue
Spears was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Like Titans starting running back Derrick Henry, Spears had a cap on his reps at Monday's walkthrough due to an ankle concern. With the health of the team's top two backfield options in some flux, it'll be key to keep an eye on the pair Tuesday and Wednesday to see if either player may be in danger of sitting out Thursday at Pittsburgh.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Titans' Derrick Henry: Tending to ankle issue
Henry was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Previously, Henry had some practice limitations Week 3 due to a combination of a toe issue and rest, but he was able to put it behind him and play. With three days to prepare for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh, the Titans may be scaling back his reps to keep him as fresh as possible for Week 9 action. Still, Henry's status will need to be monitored to ensure he isn't in danger of sitting out this week.

Elijah Mitchell RB | NE
49ers' Elijah Mitchell: Gets 12 percent of snaps
Mitchell had three carries for two yards and failed to bring in his lone target in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Bengals.
Mitchell was the only 49ers backup running back to receive carries for the second straight week. The 25-year-old wound up logging seven snaps on offense, but he barely made an impact in the box score Sunday. Mitchell's inconsistent play combined with a smaller role on offense this year should keep him out of fantasy lineups when San Francisco returns from its bye to face the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 12.

Boston Scott RB | PIT
Eagles' Boston Scott: Plays just one offensive snap
Scott caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 38-31 win against Washington.
Scott missed Week 3 with a concussion and has since been on the field for a grand total of six offensive snaps in the last five games, including just one against the Commanders. In a sense, the fact that he received a touch on 100 percent of the snaps he played in Week 8 is an impressive figure, but it's not a performance which will have helped many fantasy teams. Scott needs at least one injury ahead of him on the depth chart if he's to play enough to have real fantasy relevance.

Kenneth Gainwell RB | TB
Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Two carries but five catches
Gainwell rushed twice for a loss of two yards in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Commanders but added five catches for 30 yards.
Gainwell played a minimal role in the rushing game, but his receptions, receiving yards and targets (five) all represented season highs. In terms of total touches, however, he's now been held to single digits for five consecutive games, and his offensive snap count fell to a season-low 18.
