Patterson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Vikings with an ankle injury, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to exiting the contest, Patterson carried once for zero yards and caught his only target for three yards. With Mack Hollins also having sustained an ankle injury Sunday, the Falcons -- who were already without Drake London (groin) -- are now seeing their depth on offense being taxed in Week 9.

Wilson ran the ball two times for six yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs. He added three receptions on four targets for 32 yards.

Wilson remained relatively uninvolved on the ground, and he now has only seven rushing attempts in three games this season. More encouraging was his involvement as a pass catcher, as he managed season-best marks in receptions, targets and yards. That role could disappear quickly, however, as De'Von Achane (knee) will be eligible to be activated from injured reserve in Week 11, when Miami will be coming off its bye.

McKinnon gained two rushing yards on his only carry and caught both his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

Despite the low touch volume, McKinnon was able to get into the end zone for the first time since Week 3, catching his third TD pass of the season on a 17-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter. Last year's nine receiving touchdowns always seemed like an outlier that wouldn't be repeated, but the 31-year-old's role has shrunk in general and McKinnon is on pace for only 321 scrimmage yards, a huge drop from the 803 yards he compiled in 2022.

Pacheco carried the ball 16 times for 66 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

The second-year running back saw his highest yardage total on the ground since Week 4, bouncing back from a rough performance against the Broncos in which he set season lows in touches and scrimmage yards. Pacheco will head into Kansas City's Week 10 bye averaging 76.1 scrimmage yards per game in 2023, a pace that would have him approaching 1,300 on the year if can keep it up.

Mostert rushed the ball 12 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs. He was targeted once without a catch.

Miami was unable to get their typically explosive passing attack going against Kansas City, and much of their success came from Mostert. He accounted for one of the team's two gains of more than 20 yards, as well as a 13-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Mostert also dominated work on the ground and should see his volume increase when the Dolphins play from ahead.

Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

After being signed off the Vikings' practice squad Week 7, Gaskin was inactive for the Rams' ensuing game against the Steelers, but he proceeded to suit up for last week's loss to the Cowboys. However, Gaskin's snaps were limited strictly to special teams in that game, and he'll be out of the mix entirely for Week 9 while the Rams keep rookie Zach Evans active as their No. 3 back behind Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman.

Nwangwu (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Falcons.

Nwangwu was absent from Week 8 due to an illness, but he didn't appear on the team's injury report this week. The Iowa State product's next chance to suit up will be in Week 10 against the Saints.

Tucker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Tucker has been a healthy scratch for the last two games since Chase Edmonds was activated from injured reserve. He sits fourth on the team's depth chart, behind Rachaad White, Edmonds and Ke'Shawn Vaughn.

Miller (illness) is listed as active Sunday against the Bears, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Miller popped up on the Saints' final Week 9 practice report Friday with an illness that kept him out of drills, but the ailment won't impact his availability for Sunday's game. Since Jamaal Williams returned from his IR stint Week 7, Miller has been sparsely used behind Alvin Kamara and Williams, turning just four touches into 19 yards from scrimmage over the last two contests. A similar role likely is on the docket for Miller this time around.

The Cardinals elevated Clement to their active roster Saturday.

Clement has spent the better part of the last two years on Arizona's practice squad, but with Emari Demercado (toe) missing this Sunday's contest, Clement has been added to the team's active roster. The veteran running back has appeared in two games for the Cardinals this season, playing strictly on special teams.
