Davis reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Davis was elevated for the second straight week with fellow running back Rico Dowdle (ankle) sidelined on IR during Sunday's win over the Lions. However, the rookie once again exclusively played on special teams (16 snaps), and he has yet to record a carry in his NFL career. Davis is now eligible for one more game-day activation from Dallas' practice squad this season.

Edwards (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.

In his return from a lengthy absence due to a knee injury, Edwards started Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns and logged 23 snaps en route to pacing the Ravens' rushing attack with 16 carries for 66 yards and two TDs. With no reported setbacks in the contest, it's likely that Edwards' listed limitations suggest that his reps would have been managed had the team practiced Monday. Added context regarding his Week 8 status will arrive Tuesday, but we'd expect the running back to be available for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers.

Hill had five carries for 26 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's win over the Browns.

Hill got back in the fold after missing two games with a hamstring injury. The Ravens also got Gus Edwards back from a knee injury and went with a committee approach, as all of Hill, Edwards and Kenyan Drake played between 27 and 36 percent of the snaps. Hill had a fumble late in the game that could have proved costly but otherwise was effective on a per-carry basis. The Ravens face the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football in Week 8.

Perine had just one carry for zero yards and two catches for eight yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

Once again, Joe Mixon handled the lion's share of the offensive snaps and the carries for the Bengals. Perine has just seven touches combined over the last two weeks.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that the team may be able to start discussing Williams (ankle) return from injured reserve following Week 8, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Williams picked up a high-ankle sprain during the season opener and has been sidelined since. He was given a 6-to-8-week return timetable, so he appears to be right on track, though McVay's comments were far from definitive. Once Williams returns to practice, he'll have a 21-day period to be added to the active roster, or he'll revert back to IR for the remainder of the season.

Denver placed Boone (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.

Boone sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's loss versus the Jets, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four weeks as he recovers. The Broncos also signed Marlon Mack off of San Francisco's practice squad Monday, but Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray should continue to shoulder the bulk of Denver's carries for now.

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Boone (ankle) won't make the trip with the Broncos to London ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

In anticipation of Boone's absence due to the ankle injury he sustained in the Broncos' Week 7 loss to the Jets, Denver signed Marlon Mack off the 49ers' practice squad to restore depth at running back behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray. Before exiting the contest, Boone carried four times for 23 yards across his nine snaps against the Jets. A follow-up X-ray cleared Boone of any structural damage to his ankle, but he still could miss multiple games on account of the injury. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Boone has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain.

Drake rushed 11 times for five yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

After rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries against the Giants in the previous game, Drake was bottled up by the Browns. Gus Edwards (knee) made his season debut and was far more effective on the ground, scoring two touchdowns while racking up 66 yards on 16 carries. Edwards should function as Baltimore's top rushing option for the remainder of J.K. Dobbins' (knee) absence, while Drake likely will be limited to a change-of-pace role.

Hasty rushed once for six yards and returned three kickoffs for 68 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.

The 26-year-old filled in as Jacksonville's kick returner with Jamal Agnew (knee) unavailable and saw four offensive snaps. Hasty played a minimal offensive role despite James Robinson (knee) being limited by an injury, as Travis Etienne dominated the backfield work Sunday. Hasty could see more action if Robinson is forced to miss any time, but he shouldn't be expected to take on a significant workload.

Jackson had two carries for three yards in Sunday's loss at Tennessee.

Jackson played just five snaps on offense as he's moved back to a deep reserve role with both Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) returning from injury. Jackson had 29 total touches for 222 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in two games with Taylor out, so he still could have fantasy value if pressed into a larger role. However, Jackson may get few touches on offense with both Taylor and Hines healthy.
