Singletary (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Singletary will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week while the Giants roll with Tyrone Tracy and Najee Harris as the backup options in the backfield behind Cam Skattebo. Singletary's next opportunity to suit up is Week 5 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Demercado (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Demercado will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, which leaves Tyler Goodson as the lone backup option to Javonte Williams. Demercado's next chance to play is Thursday against the Buccaneers, although he doesn't have a clear path to playing time unless one or both of Williams and Goodson were to miss time.

Spears (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

While managing the ankle injury, Spears managed just one full practice this week and took a questionable tag into Sunday, but he looks like he'll be available to handle his usual No. 2 role behind Tony Pollard. Through Tennessee's first three games, Spears has carried 13 times for 58 yards (4.5 YPC) to go with four receptions for 41 yards on six targets.

Spears (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, is slated to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Spears was able to play through his ankle injury last Sunday at the Giants, and while he earned a 47 percent snap share, he mustered just three carries for five yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Fellow RB Tony Pollard handled the other 53 percent and turned his 21 touches into 96 yards from scrimmage. Considering Spears progressed from DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday and full Friday, he appears set to serve in a similar role alongside Pollard on Sunday, assuming the former is active.

Seattle signed Jones from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The Seahawks needed running-back depth ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Chargers after rookie Jadarian Price (chest) was placed on IR. Jones should slide into the team's No. 3 RB role behind Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. Jones was previously elevated from the practice squad twice this season and has logged 39 snaps, all on special teams.

Price (chest) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Price saw his practice participation during Week 4 prep decline due to a chest injury before he was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The injury is severe enough for the rookie first-rounder to go on IR, meaning Price will be forced to miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible to return until at least Week 8 against the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 2. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will serve as the Seahawks' top running backs for Week 4 due to Price's absence, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) could also be in the mix for backfield duties as soon as Week 5 against the 49ers if he's cleared to be activated from the reserve/PUP list.

The Commanders elevated Reynolds from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

It will be Reynolds' first elevation to the active roster this season, and he'll provide the Commanders with backfield depth for Sunday's game in London in the absence of Rachaad White (shoulder). Reynolds spent the last five years with the Lions before joining the Commanders in mid-August, though he was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

The Dolphins signed Washington from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

The move bolsters the Dolphins' backfield depth in the absence of De'Von Achane, who is out for the rest of the 2026 season due to a torn ACL in his left knee. Washington stuck around in Miami on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster out of training camp. Now that he's on the active roster, Washington will operate as the Dolphins' RB3 behind Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright moving forward.

Nichols reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Nichols played nine special-teams snaps in his second elevation to the active roster in 2026. The running back saw zero offensive action and did not appear in the box score. Nichols has one remaining active roster elevation before the Steelers will need to sign the 25-year-old to the active roster for him to appear in any more regular-season games.

Croskey-Merritt has served as the Commanders' RB1 this season, but his backfield snap count for Week 4 against the Colts figures to be larger due to the absence of Rachaad White (shoulder).

Croskey-Merritt has logged 47 carries through three regular-season games, though he's turned that into only 142 yards (3.0 YPC) and a touchdown while playing less than 50 percent of the Commanders' offensive snaps in two games. White has mostly operated as the change-of-pace, pass-catching RB for the Commanders this season, so Croskey-Merrit figures to see an expanded role Sunday while the former is sidelined. Rookie Kaytron Allen and recently-signed Austin Ekeler are also in the mix for backfield work in London, England.
