  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Breaks out for three TDs in win

    Skattebo rushed 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Backfield mate Tyrone Tracy returned from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, but Skattebo helped make the latter's availability a non-issue with his stellar play. The rookie was responsible for each of the Giants' last three touchdowns, recording a four-yard scoring run late in the first half and then going into the end zone from one yard out in both the third and fourth quarters. Skattebo also set a new single-game career high in rushing yards with Thursday's performance, and he notably gained 44 of his yards on the Giants' final, game-sealing drive that consumed the last 6:50 of the contest. Given his performance Thursday, Skattebo will head into another stiff challenge against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 19 as the unquestioned lead back.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Modest opportunity in loss

    Barkley rushed 12 times for 58 yards and brought in two of three targets for nine yards in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.

    Barkley was set up well on paper for a matchup against the Giants' porous run defense, but game script would eventually cap his opportunities and lead to his second-lowest carry total of the campaign. He was efficient with his opportunities, averaging an encouraging 4.8 yards per carry after posting 5.0 yards per tote in the Week 5 loss to the Broncos. Barkley has still to crack the 90-yard mark on the ground through six games, however, and he's still averaging just 3.4 yards per carry on the season thanks to a slow start to the season. Barkley will have a tough Week 7 challenge on his hands as well, considering the talented Vikings defense awaits in a Week 7 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Gets in full practice

    Homer (calf) logged a full practice Thursday.

    Homer remains on injured reserve but was designated for return earlier this week, opening his 21-day practice window. Homer doesn't have much of an offensive role in Chicago when healthy.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: DNP with thigh injury

    Monangai (thigh) did not practice Thursday.

    It's Monangai's first appearance on the injury report this season. The seventh-round rookie has carried the ball just 17 times for 62 scoreless yards through four games, adding three catches for 23 yards on five targets. Monangai is little more than an end-of-bench stash in fantasy.

  • Velus Jones: Returns via practice squad

    The Saints signed Jones to the practice squad Thursday.

    Jones was cut from the active roster earlier in the week but returns to New Orleans as organizational depth. Jones appeared in all five games to begin the season, returning eight kickoffs for 183 yards while playing just two offensive snaps.

  • Nate Carter RB | ATL

    Falcons' Nathan Carter: Full practice Thursday

    Carter (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

    Carter was forced to miss the team's Week 4 win over the Commanders due to a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be all set for Week 6. The running back will likely be back in his role as the No. 3 option behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier on Monday Night Football against Buffalo.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Stays limited in practice

    Tuten (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

    Tuten has been a regular on Jaguars practice reports due to a shoulder injury since Week 3 prep, but he's been able to suit up for three consecutive contests, combining for 16 touches for 54 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD during that span. Assuming he's cleared ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, he'll continue to operate in a complementary role behind No. 1 RB Travis Etienne.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Another limited practice

    Spears (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Spears also was limited Wednesday, so the running back likely will need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Raiders without an injury designation. In his return from IR in Week 5, he recorded a 25 percent snap share in his team's 22-21 win over the Cardinals en route to carrying four times for 14 yards while working behind fellow RB Tony Pollard.

  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Miles Sanders: Held out of practice

    Sanders (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

    Sanders opened Week 6 prep Wednesday as a limited participant, but his lack of activity Thursday doesn't inspire much early confidence that he'll be able to return from a one-game absence to play Sunday at Carolina. If Sanders isn't available for the matchup with one of his former teams, the Cowboys would likely keep rookie Jaydon Blue active for the second week in a row as starting running back Javonte Williams' top backup.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Remains limited in practice

    Kamara (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Initial reports indicated Kamara hurt his ankle at Wednesday's practice, but he clarified Thursday that he's "feeling good" and actually suffered the injury this past Sunday against the Giants, per Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. In the Week 5 win, Kamara logged season lows in offensive snap share (56 percent) and touches (12) on his way to just 55 yards from scrimmage. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
