  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Could miss 2-4 weeks

    Tracy, who suffered a dislocated shoulder Sunday, is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Per Dan Salomone and Matt Citak of the Giants' official site, coach Brian Daboll noted Monday that the team was still in the process of getting more information about the running back's injury, but it looks like Tracy is going to miss some time. In that scenario, added backfield reps, beginning this weekend against the Chargers, would be available for Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary.

  • Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Limited to six touches in win

    White rushed five times for 12 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Buccaneers' 29-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    White was coming off a 10-carry, 65-yard, one-touchdown effort against the Texans, so his downturn Sunday, which came on his second-highest snap count of the season (20), was both noteworthy and disappointing. The fourth-year back was relegated to a much smaller role in the hard-fought win, and White also has been just a minor participant in the air attack through three games with a scant four targets. White and the Bucs draw a tough matchup Week 4, as the defending champion Eagles come to town on Sunday afternoon.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Career rushing night on MNF

    Montgomery carried the ball 12 times for 151 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding a 13-yard reception in Monday's 38-30 win over Baltimore.

    Montgomery waltzed into a tough road environment and casually dropped a new personal best of 151 rushing yards in a single game. The seven-year pro's longest run of 72 yards surprisingly did not result in either of his two trips to the end zone Monday. Jahmyr Gibbs (22-67-2) finished with 10 more carries and 14 more touches than Montgomery, which was the largest disparity through three weeks for Detroit's talented backfield tandem. Expect the Lions to feed the Browns a heavy dose of both Montgomery and Gibbs when the two teams meet Week 4.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Stuffs stat sheet inefficiently

    Gibbs took 22 carries for 67 yards and two touchdowns while catching five of six targets for 32 yards in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.

    Gibbs was uncharacteristically inefficient on Monday Night Football, failing to crack the century mark in total yards despite handling a season-high 27 touches. Fortunately for managers, the fantasy stud still generated RB1 numbers by making his second and third trips to the end zone this season. David Montgomery (12-151-2 rushing line) also went off for Detroit in a shining example of a true timeshare that can produce two valuable assets on a weekly basis. Gibbs will face another stiff test defensively when the Lions host the Browns on Sunday.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Critical fumble in home loss

    Henry rushed 12 times for 50 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Ravens' 38-30 loss to the Lions on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Henry was coming off a disappointing 11-carry, 23-yard performance against a tough Browns defense, so in that regard, Monday's production was encouraging on the surface. The multi-time Pro Bowler also recorded his third rushing touchdown of the season on a 28-yard run in the first quarter that answered an early Lions score. However, that was easily overshadowed by Henry's second critical fourth-quarter fumble over the first three games of the season, as he was stripped of the ball at his own 22-yard line with 8:31 remaining and Baltimore trying to overcome a 28-24 deficit. Detroit was able to add three more critical points as a result of the highly favorable field position, helping lead to the victory. Henry and his teammates won't have much time to dwell on Monday night's outcome, however, as a road trip to Kansas City for a Week 4 showdown with the Chiefs awaits this coming Sunday.

  • Sione Vaki RB | DET

    Lions' Sione Vaki: Won't return due to groin injury

    Vaki has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Ravens due to a groin injury.

    Vaki appeared to suffer the injury on punt coverage in the first half. He was quickly taken to the locker room, and after further evaluation, the injury has been deemed severe enough for him to not return to Monday's contest. With Craig Reynolds (coach's decision) a healthy scratch and Vaki done for the night, Jacob Saylors will serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery the rest of the way.

  • Jacardia Wright: Reverts to Seattle's practice squad

    Wright reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Wright was elevated to the Seahawks' active roster for the first time Sunday, when he played eight snaps (five on offense, three on special teams) in a 44-13 win over the Saints. He finished the game with five carries for 20 yards, all of which came in garbage time during Seattle's blowout victory. Zach Charbonnet was unable to play due to a foot injury, and Wright would be a candidate to be elevated for the Seahawks' Week 4 clash against the Cardinals on Thursday if the former is not cleared to play.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Trey Sermon: Reverts to practice squad

    Sermon reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    All three of Sermon's snaps came on special teams as Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell handled touches out of the backfield while Kaleb Johnson was active but did not play. Sermon is eligible to be elevated to the Steelers' active roster two more times this season and that could come as soon as Week 4 against the Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, especially if Johnson continues to see limited to no playing time.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Cam Akers: Reverts to practice squad

    Akers reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Akers played 11 snaps (seven on offense, four on special teams) during the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He finished with five carries for 19 yards and failed to bring in his lone target, but all that work came in garbage time as he worked behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott. With Aaron Jones (hamstring) and Ty Chandler (knee) both on injured reserve, Akers is a top candidate to be elevated to the active roster for the Vikings' Week 4 clash against the Steelers on Sunday at Crone Park in Dublin, Ireland.

  • Adam Prentice RB | DEN

    Adam Prentice: Back with practice squad

    Prentice reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Prentice was elevated to the active roster for the third straight week, failing to record any stats while playing five snaps on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers. The fullback will now have to be officially signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game with Denver this season.
