Henry rushed 20 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 34-31 win over the Bills. He also caught two of three targets for 13 yards.

Henry exploded 76 yards up the middle for the first touchdown of the game in the second quarter, then powered in a pair of red-zone rushing scores in the second half, including the game-winner with just over three minutes remaining. In doing so, Henry found the end zone three times for the second straight game, and he's now remarkably accomplished that feat three times through six contests this season. With five consecutive outings of at least 110 yards on the ground as well, Henry is off to a monstrous start to the campaign. He'll strive to keep his substantial momentum going in Week 7 versus Kansas City's soft run defense.

Funk has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2021 season due to a torn hamstring that may require surgery, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

Funk has been lost for the season after picking up a hamstring injury in Sunday's matchup against the Giants. He appeared in six contests, rushing once for six yards while accruing 88 yards on kick returns.

McNichols (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Derrick Henry had both carries for the team on its first possession, and McNichols likely wasn't going to see many touches anyway. He only managed one limited practice during Week 6 prep due to an ankle issue, so he may have aggravated the injury during pregame warmups. Aside from Henry, Tennessee only has fullbacks Khari Blasingame and Tory Carter available out of the backfield.

Williams reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Samaje Perine (COVID-19) was unavailable for Sunday's contest, so Williams was elevated from the practice squad and carried six times for 13 yards behind Joe Mixon. Williams could be promoted again Week 7 if Perine remains sidelined, though Chris Evans would likely continue to work as Cincinnati's top backup at tailback.

Breida (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game at Tennessee.

Breida will be a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game heading into Buffalo's Week 7 bye. Taiwan Jones will be the reserve backfield option behind Zack Moss and Devin Singletary.

McNichols (ankle) is active for Monday's game against the Bills.

McNichols was considered questionable due to the ankle injury but is ready to play on Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old has seven carries for 38 yards and 17 receptions for 160 yards and one touchdown this season, and he should have a minor role in the Titans backfield with Derrick Henry healthy.

Brown reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Brown was a gameday elevation for Sunday's loss to Minnesota, though he was actually a healthy scratch for the contest. Chuba Hubbard and Royce Freeman are Carolina's only healthy running backs with Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) on injured reserve, so Brown could quickly rejoin the active roster.

Patrick was signed to the 49ers practice squad Monday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Patrick was waived by the 49ers last week but will stick around the organization on the practice squad. He could rejoin the active roster of Elijah Mitchell, Trey Sermon or Trenton Cannon suffer an injury.

Denver lists Gordon (hip) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

For the second week in a row, Gordon is appearing on the Broncos' practice report with a hip issue after rib and lower leg injuries previously cost him practice time in late September and early October. Gordon ended up carrying a questionable designation into Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders, but he saw a normal snap share (53 percent) and averaged a healthy 5.0 yards per carry on 10 totes while adding three receptions for 23 yards. Because he's at least opening Week 7 as a limited participant on the Broncos' report, Gordon will more than likely be ready to play Thursday in Cleveland, though it's possible he once again takes a designation into the contest.

The Browns listed Chubb (calf) as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Chubb missed his first game of the season in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals, with the Browns turning to Kareem Hunt to replace him as the team's lead back. Hunt suffered a calf injury of his own in the contest that will likely keep him sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks, but Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski wasn't ready to rule Chubb out from returning to action Week 7 for a Thursday night matchup with the Broncos. Due to the short week, the Browns may not hold a traditional practice session until Wednesday, which could make it tough to gauge where Chubb stands in his recovery. Regardless, Chubb will likely need to bump up to at least limited participation on the practice report at some point over the next two days to have a realistic shot at playing Thursday. If Chubb joins Hunt on the sideline Week 7, the Browns will turn to D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton to lead the backfield.
