Gainwell rushed for a season-high 25 yards on five carries in Sunday's win over the Cowboys.

Gainwell got the Eagles into the red zone to set up their first score with a nine-yard rush late in the first quarter, but his overall impact on the game remained small even in a season-best performance. He only saw the field for 17 offensive snaps, well below Miles Sanders' 44, with the Eagles showing no inclination to move to a more even split.

Gordon (neck/ribs) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Gordon was limited in practice this past week, but he'll be out there Monday night, and barring any in-game setbacks he's in line to continue to lead Denver's backfield, with Mike Boone and possibly Latavius Murray also factoring into the mix given that Javonte Williams (knee) is out for the rest of the season. They'll be facing a Chargers defense that has allowed an average of 130.4 rushing yards per game to date.

The Panthers brought in Brown (ankle) for a workout Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Brown reverted to Carolina's IR after being waived with an ankle injury as part of the team's final roster cuts, though he quickly secured an injury settlement Sept. 7. The 23-year-old running back now appears to be past this issue after working out with the team again Tuesday. Brown did not play a snap during his lone appearance with the Panthers last season, and he has yet to record a rush in his professional career.

Benjamin was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to a foot injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

With James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) sidelined Sunday at Seattle, Benjamin paced Arizona's backfield to the tune of an 87 percent share of offensive snaps (62 of 71) en route to 18 touches for 65 yards from scrimmage. As for the other healthy RBs, rookie Keaontay Ingram took three carries for seven yards on nine plays on offense, while Corey Clement was used exclusively on special teams. Now Benjamin is dealing with an injury of his own, though he at least would have practiced if the Cardinals had held a session Monday. The same can't be said for DNPs Conner and Williams. The next few days of prep will determine if Benjamin again is in line to be the team's primary back Thursday against the Saints.

White was cut from the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

White joined Miami in the spring as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina. After failing to make the 53-man roster, he signed on with the team's practice squad. He'll now work to find an opportunity elsewhere.

Williams (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Williams suffered a sprained knee during the team's Week 5 loss to Philadelphia and was sidelind for Week 6, along with starting running back James Conner (ribs). Both backs were listed as non-participants Monday, while Eno Benjamin, who took over as the primary running back against Seattle, was listed as limited due to a foot injury. Per Urban, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Williams is unlikely to play Thursday against the Saints, while Conner is day-to-day.

Conner (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Conner sat out Week 6 after not practicing due to a rib injury he picked up a week prior. Fellow running back Darrel Williams (knee) also was ruled out, paving the way for Eno Benjamin (foot) to garner an increased role. However, all three of those backs were listed on Arizona's practice estimate Monday, with Benjamin the only one labeled as a limited participant. Considering it's a short week ahead of Thursday's matchup against New Orleans, it may be difficult for Conner or Williams to ramp all the way up to game action, but reports Tuesday and Wednesday should provide more clarity on how Arizona's running back room will look Week 7.

Rivers caught his lone target for 14 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 24-10 win versus the Panthers.

Rivers was called on to provide depth for Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown with Cam Akers (personal) out, and while he only saw the field for three snaps on offense in his NFL debut, he was able to net a pair of touches. The catch was particularly a relevant play for the Rams, as the rookie was able to break off a 14-yard gain in the red zone before Matt Gay tapped in a 21-yard field goal to tie the game. The Rams may use the bye week to address the running back position with outside help, but if they choose to stand pat, Rivers may see more work as a depth piece in future weeks.

Dallas rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.

With Rashaad Penny (leg) out for the season, Dallas operated as the No. 2 back behind rookie second-round pick Kenneth Walker, who logged 23 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown. Dallas was on the field for 23 of 68 offensive snaps while Walker handled 47 snaps. In Week 7 against the Chargers, Dallas should remain the No. 2 back, but he could get bumped out of that role once Travis Homer (ribs) returns from injured reserve.

White rushed four times for 12 yards, brought in three of four targets for 11 yards and returned two kickoffs for 54 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

White was even more of a second fiddle to Leonard Fournette than in recent games, with his snap count on offense tumbling down to 15 after he'd been at 23 and 30 in Weeks 4 and 5, respectively. Nevertheless, White still logged only one fewer touch than during his season-high participation rate Week 5, and he seems like an increasingly certain proposition for multiple carries and targets each week after having accomplished that feat in both categories for three consecutive games.
