Ingram tallied nine snaps on special teams and none on offense during Sunday's 20-10 loss in Seattle.

One week removed from pacing the Cardinals with 10 carries in their first game since James Conner (knee) was placed on IR, Ingram was relegated entirely to special-teams work Sunday. The backfield instead was led by Emari Demercado, who turned an 80 percent snap share into 17 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage. Behind Demercado, Damien Williams had just one rush for two yards on 18 percent of the snaps. Demercado may now have a leg up on Williams and Ingram for touches until Conner returns, making it difficult to rely on Ingram for production.

Mason did not see the field on offense while logging 11 snaps on special teams in Monday's 22-17 loss to the Vikings.

Mason was surprisingly not used on offense even with starter Christian McCaffrey (oblique) playing through a lingering injury suffered in last week's loss to Cleveland. The latter wound up playing 100 percent of San Francisco's offensive snaps Monday, and Elijah Mitchell received the only non-CMC carry for San Francisco's backfield. Mason was coming off a pair of strong performances with a touchdown in each, so Monday's lack of usage killed any momentum the backup was building heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Bengals.

Koback signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Koback spent training camp in Seattle, but ultimately landed on the Eagles' practice squad after failing to make the team. He was sent packing by Philly prior to Week 7 and will now get a second chance with the Seahawks' practice unit. The undrafted free agent has yet to suit up for a regular season game this year.

The Lions placed Ibrahim (hip) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

Ibrahim sustained the injury in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens on a kick return and underwent surgery for his hip Monday. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible for a call up until Week 13 against the Saints on Dec. 3.

Mitchell lost one yard on his only carry in Monday's 22-17 loss to the Vikings.

Starting tailback Christian McCaffrey (oblique) did not leave the field in Monday's loss despite playing at less than 100 percent. Mitchell was still able to get on the field via two-back sets for four offensive snaps (eight percent). The 25-year-old wound up being the only other backup to touch the ball against Minnesota despite losing favor to the hotter Jordan Mason in recent weeks. Mitchell appears to still be No. 2 on depth chart heading into next Sunday's game against Cincinnati despite struggling with his production (2.5 YPC) when he has been healthy enough to play this season.

The Browns signed Wilkins to their practice squad Tuesday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

Wilkins spent this past offseason with Cleveland, but he ended up missing the team's 53-man roster and getting released in late August. The 29-year-old's most recent in-game action came with the Colts in 2022, and throughout his five-year NFL career, he's recorded 1,009 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Patrick was cut from the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Patrick failed to make Tennessee's 53-man roster, but he's been a part of the team's practice squad since the middle of September. The 26-year-old's last in-game action came in 2021 when he made two appearances for the 49ers' and recorded 12 rushing yards. In a corresponding move, the Titans' signed running back Jonathan Ward to their practice squad.

Perine rushed two times for 10 yards and secured all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Packers.

Perine played 15 of the Broncos' 59 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Javonte Williams (31) and ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin (10). The veteran Perine has earned minimal usage on the ground; however, he remains relatively active as a receiver out of the backfield. Perine has reeled in at least two catches in every game this season, totaling 20 receptions for 215 yards through the first seven contests this season. With both Williams and McLaughlin handling most of the rushing duties, Perine will likely need to continue to see multiple looks through the air if he is to reach even modest fantasy relevance. The 28-year-old will look to be more involved when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 8.

Vaughn rushed four times for seven yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 16-13 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Vaughn logged 18 snaps while Sean Tucker once again failed to see the field, perhaps the last time the two players will operate in that arrangement for a while. Vaughn has netted a meager 32 yards on his 19 carries this season while recording just one catch for three yards, and head coach Todd Bowles could well opt to give Tucker another crack at the top backup job given the dearth of production at that spot thus far.

Akers rushed 10 times for 31 yards and brought in two of three targets for 30 yards in the Vikings' 22-17 win over the 49ers on Monday night.

One game after logging just two touches over nine snaps, Akers' involvement shot up to the highest it's been since his arrival in Minnesota. Akers' receiving yardage total was also a season-best figure and allowed him to outgain Alexander Mattison by a 61-42 margin in total yards on the night. The productive performance seemingly sets Akers up for another solid allotment of touches in a favorable matchup on the road against the Packers in Week 8.
