Tracy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants waited until Friday to rule Tracy out, even though reports suggest he'll miss multiple games. Cam Skattebo took 69 percent of snaps after Tracy's early departure from the Week 3 loss to Kansas City, finishing the night with 16 touches for 121 yards and a touchdown. Devin Singletary had just four carries for 11 yards, but there's some chance he'll be more involved now that the Giants had time to prepare for Tracy's absence.

Carter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Carter carried the ball seven times for 46 yards in garbage time during last Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers. With Carter out for Week 4, the Falcons could elevate Carlos Washington from the practice squad to serve as the RB3 behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.

Coach Mike Vrabel noted Friday that Stevenson is not being "disciplined" per se in the wake of the running back's fumbling issues last week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Stevenson lost two fumbles in the team's Week 3 loss to the Steelers and ended up with four carries for 18 yards and three catches for 38 yards in the contest. While Vrabel indicated that he doesn't plan to bench Stevenson (who has started all three of New England's game to date) Sunday against the Panthers, it's still possible that ball security could factor into how the carries are divided between Stevenson, Antonio Gibson (seven carries, with a fumble versus Pittsburgh) and TreVeyon Henderson (11 carries, no fumbles Week 3). In that context, Stevenson profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in Week 4 lineups.

Mullings (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The 2025 sixth-round pick from Michigan played through an ankle injury in the Titans' Week 3 loss to the Colts, logging eight special-teams snaps. However, he began Tennessee's week of practice with consecutive DNPs and has now shifted to IR, suggesting the injury worsened in Week 3. With Mullings out for at least the Titans next four games, the team is down to just two healthy running backs on the active roster: Julius Chestnut and Tony Pollard.

Warren (not-injury related - resting player, knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Warren logged another limited practice Friday with the Steelers citing both 'resting vet' and 'knee' for the running back's listing on the team's final Week 4 injury report. His status thus is worth tracking ahead of Sunday's 9:30 a.m. kickoff in Dublin, with late Saturday and/or early Sunday reports via NFL insiders such as Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport potentially providing added context on that front. If Warren is limited or out Sunday, added snaps would be available for Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson (who didn't see the field in Week 3), with Trey Sermon, Lew Nichols and Max Hurleman representing possible practice-squad elevations.

Hubbard (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New England.

The Panthers added Hubbard to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant. He was limited again Friday, suggesting the injury probably isn't serious, although the failure to return to full participation leaves some question about his Week 4 status ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Should Hubbard end up inactive, the Panthers will bump up Rico Dowdle to the starting lineup and Trevor Etienne to the No. 2 role.

Tracy (shoulder) isn't practicing Friday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Tracy hasn't practiced since making an early exit from a Week 3 loss to Kansas City. Rookie Cam Skattebo figures to lead the Giants backfield again this Sunday against the Chargers, with Devin Singletary easing into the No. 2 role.

Croskey-Merritt (knee) was present for Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Croskey-Merritt was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practices, so his presence at Friday's session is a step in the right direction. Either way, the Commanders' upcoming injury report will reveal both the running back's participation level, as well as his game status for Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons.

Holani returned three kicks for 74 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.

Holani didn't play at all on offense with both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet in the lineup. Unless one of the two top running backs gets hurt, Holani's usage should remain strictly on special teams moving forward.

Demercado rushed twice for eight yards and brought in both targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 23-20 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Demercado served as the clear No. 2 back behind Trey Benson in the Cardinals' first full game without James Conner (IR, foot), logging six fewer carries than his backfield mate. However, it was Demercado who caught a game-tying seven-yard touchdown reception with 28 seconds remaining, a play that was quickly one-upped by Jason Myers' game-winning field goal. Demercado proved capable of serving as an effective complementary option in his first pair of seasons, and even his modest usage Thursday suggests he'll remain involved, especially as a pass catcher, in future games.
