  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Not practicing Wednesday

    Stevenson isn't participating in the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Stevenson played into the fourth quarter of a 32-13 win over the Browns on Sunday, finishing with 15 touches for 49 yards on 72 percent snap share. He didn't get any work over the final seven minutes of the game, but that may have been due to the score rather than an injury. It remains to be seen if his Wednesday absence is injury-related.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Joins Patriots' practice squad

    Johnson signed with the Patriots' practice squad Wednesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    The South Florida product was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, but he's already found a new home in New England. He made on appearance for Arizona this season, rushing once for no yards across 14 offensive snaps. With Antonio Gibson (knee), Lan Larison (foot) and Deneric Prince (Tulsa) all currently on injured reserve, Johnson could be elevated to the Patriots' active roster and play a depth role in the backfield.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Still far from return to practice

    Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Lloyd (hamstring), who remains on IR, is not nearing a return to practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Lloyd has spent the entire regular season on IR due to a hamstring injury. LaFleur offered optimism about the second-year pro's progression toward the practice field in mid-October, but it seems things have since changed. It's possible that Lloyd, who has dealt with consistent injury issues since being selected by Green Bay in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has suffered a setback in his recovery. In any case, Emanuel Wilson has entrenched himself as the No. 2 option behind Josh Jacobs in the Packers' backfield, so if Lloyd does return to action this season, he'll likely compete with Chris Brooks for the No. 3 role.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Won't be practicing Wednesday

    Pacheco (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Pacheco's absence from the Chiefs' first practice this week isn't surprising, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network having reported Tuesday that the running back is considered week-to-week with an MCL sprain. Per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, coach Andy Reid indicated that he doesn't think Pacheco's injury is a long-term concern, but it remains to be seen if suiting up Sunday against the Bills is a possibility for the Chiefs' leading rusher. In the event that he's sidelined this weekend, Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith would be next up for carries, with Elijah Mitchell available to mix in.

  • Velus Jones: Finds work in Seattle

    The Seahawks signed Jones to their practice squad Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    The 2022 third-round pick from Tennessee was dropped from the Saints' active roster on Oct. 24, but he's already found a new home in Seattle. Jones appeared in five games for the Saints this season, recording 183 kick-return yards across 76 total snaps (74 on special teams, two on offense). Now with the Seahawks, he could be elevated to the active roster at some point this season as a return man.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Jawhar Jordan: Out in Houston

    Jordan was cut from the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.

    The 2024 sixth-round pick from Louisville landed with the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, the team has now decided to move in another direction. Jordan has yet to make his NFL debut after posting 1,374 total yards and 14 touchdowns on 202 touches during his final collegiate season in 2023.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Dealing with illness

    Davis (illness) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Davis appears to have come down with an illness that's holding him out of Wednesday's practice. His participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs. If the second-year pro is inactive, expect Ty Johnson to handle all of Buffalo's reserve running back duties.

  • 49ers' Isaac Guerendo: No run on offense this season

    Guerendo played all 10 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Texans.

    As a rookie last season, Guerendo showcased some explosiveness out of the San Francisco backfield with averages of 5.0 yards per carry and 10.1 yards per reception over 16 games, but he has yet to play a snap on offense in the 49ers' first eight games of 2025. With lead back Christian McCaffrey having thus far stayed healthy while handling huge snap and touch counts each week, Brian Robinson has picked up the remaining scraps left over in the backfield. So long as McCaffrey and Robinson are able to avoid injury, Guerendo looks as though he'll be limited to a role on kickoff returns and kick-coverage units.

  • Rasheen Ali RB | BAL

    Ravens' Rasheen Ali: Limited to special teams

    Ali returned three kickoffs for 88 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.

    Ali has been active for all seven of the Ravens' games this season, but he continues to be deployed almost exclusively on special teams. The reserve running back has logged just five offensive snaps all season and hasn't had a touch since carrying once for five yards in Baltimore's Week 1 loss to Buffalo.

  • Buccaneers' Josh Williams: Career-high four carries in win

    Williams rushed four times for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-3 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    The undrafted rookie logged a career-high six snaps on offense behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, and he recorded the first four carries of his career in the process. The fact the Saints never threatened and the Buccaneers were in firm control of the game throughout the second half facilitated Williams' opportunity, but if Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) is able to finally get healthy over Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye, Williams could be relegated to just special-teams duty or inactive status in a Week 10 home matchup against the Patriots.
