Derrick Gore RB | WAS
Derrick Gore: Back to practice squad
Gore reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.
Gore was called up with Chris Rodriguez (illness) ruled out before Sunday's game against the Eagles. Gore played 25 snaps -- six offensive and 19 on special teams -- and had one assisted tackle on punt coverage

Royce Freeman RB | CHI
Royce Freeman: Reverts to practice squad
Freeman reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday.
Freeman played all 12 of his snaps on special teams and recorded an assisted tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's overtime win over the Colts. Given this was his third callup from the practice squad, the Rams will have to sign Freeman to their active roster if they wish to play him for the rest of the season.

Dwayne Washington RB | DEN
Dwayne Washington: Reverts to practice squad
Washington reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday.
Washington was called up ahead of Denver's win against Chicago and ended up playing seven snaps, all of which came on special teams. With Javonte Williams (hip) expected to miss some time, Washington could be in line to return to the active roster again.

Tyjae Spears RB | TEN
Titans' Tyjae Spears: Best all-around performance
Spears recorded 40 yards on five carries in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals. He added three receptions for 18 yards.
Spears tied for a career high with 33 offensive snaps in the Titans' blowout win. That helped him to his most productive performance as a pro and marked the second time he topped 50 total yards across four contests. Derrick Henry continues to lead the backfield, but Spears has shown the ability to be productive and has consistently seen between eight and 10 touches per game.

Melvin Gordon RB | BAL
Ravens' Melvin Gordon: Returns to practice squad
Gordon reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday.
Gordon was elevated to the active roster for a second week in a row prior to Sunday's 28-3 win over the Browns, rushing for 21 yards on three carries while also reeling in his only target for a 23-yard reception. The running back could play again in Week 5 versus the Steelers, as he still has one more elevation before he'd need to be signed to the Ravens' 53-man roster.

Corey Clement RB | ARI
Corey Clement: Back to practice squad
Clement reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.
Clement was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers, failing to record a stat while playing eight snaps on special teams. The running back will now await his next promotion while continuing to toil on the practice squad.

Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Dealing with hip injury
Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Williams suffered a bruised hip during Sunday's overtime win in Indianapolis, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Williams put together the most productive performance of his career Week 4, accumulating 127 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs on 28 touches. He also emerged from the contest with a health concern, which may result in some limitations in practice this week. Williams' status thus bears monitoring ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Eagles on Sunday.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Leads Week 4 backfield
Hubbard rushed 14 times for 41 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Hubbard actually played eight more offensive snaps than starter Miles Sanders, enabling him to lead Carolina in both carries and rushing yards. Despite that involvement, though, his overall production was underwhelming. With Sanders struggling more Sunday, finishing with just 32 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches, it'll be interesting to see how the Panthers' backfield workload is split Week 5 versus the Lions.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | JAC
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Limited in practice
Rodriguez (illness) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice report.
Rodriguez is still battling an illness that kept him out Sunday's loss to the Eagles and will look to be ready for the Commanders' game against the Bears on Thursday. If the rookie sixth-rounder is good to go, he still likely won't see a lot of playing time behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson.

Saquon Barkley RB | PHI
Giants' Saquon Barkley: Inactive again in Week 4
Barkley (ankle) is listed as inactive Monday against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Barkley made some visible progress with his sprained right ankle during Week 4 prep, getting listed as a limited participant on all three injury reports. Still, a doubtful designation for Monday's game didn't give him much leeway for his first action since Week 2, and indeed he'll miss a second consecutive contest. While Matt Breida again will head the Giants backfield with Gary Brightwell backing him up, Barkley will set his sights on returning Sunday at Miami.
