Warren rushed 17 times for 93 yards and secured three of six targets for 33 yards in the Steelers' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Thursday.

Warren once again had near total control of the Steelers' ground attack, as Rico Dowdle (toe) missed a second consecutive contest. As he'd done in the Week 3 win over the Bengals, Warren capitalized on the opportunity to comfortably eclipse the century mark in total yards. Warren compiled 220 rushing yards and another 82 yards through the air over the last two games while serving as the unquestioned lead back, but if Dowdle is able to make it back for a Week 5 matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 11, the former will see a hit to his touches.

The Saints signed Bentley to their practice squad Thursday.

Bentley spent all of last season with Indianapolis and was with the Colts in training camp this year. He was cut from the team's practice squad in early September and has now gotten a new opportunity with New Orleans. The Saints became in need of backfield depth when Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Tracy (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Tracy didn't practice at all Wednesday, so his return (albeit in a limited fashion) Thursday is a sign that he's improving. The third-year pro seems to have a chance of playing Week 4 against Arizona, though he'll likely have an injury designation heading into the weekend if he's not able to practice fully Friday. Even if Tracy does suit up Sunday, he's unlikely to have a major role on offense given that he's logged just four offensive snaps through three contests on the campaign.

Holani (ribs) remained limited in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The Seahawks are banged up in the backfield, as Jadarian Price (chest) was downgraded to DNP after a limited session Thursday, and Zach Charbonnet (knee/PUP) was limited in his first practice of the season. It appears as if Emanuel Wilson could be in line for a decent workload Sunday against the Chargers if Price is unable to play and Holani is less than 100 percent.

Price (chest) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Price opened Week 4 prep as limited Wednesday due to a chest issue, which didn't allow him to mix into any drills one day later. He thus has one more opportunity to practice Friday before the Seahawks potentially make a decision on his availability ahead of the weekend. Ultimately, if Price is limited or sidelined Sunday versus the Chargers, Emanuel Wilson likely would take on most of the early-down and short-yardage work, with George Holani on hand in a change-of-pace role.

Brooks (hamstring) did not participate at the Texans' practice Thursday.

Brooks has missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he nurses a hamstring injury that he likely suffered against the Colts in Week 3. The running back will have one more chance to participate at Friday's final practice of the week, and if he can't go Sunday against the Cowboys, it wouldn't impact the team's offensive approach.

The Texans placed Whittington (quadriceps) on the practice squad injured list Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Whittington suffered a torn quad during practice this week, and while the move to the injured list will prevent him from being eligible for elevation for four weeks, the rookie could be sidelined for longer. Whittington linked up with Houston as an undrafted free agent in early May following a strong senior season with Oregon.

Gilliam (knee) did not practice Thursday.

Gilliam was limited during Wednesday's practice, though he saw a worrisome downgrade Thursday. As a result, he may carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC East showdown with Buffalo, assuming he's not ruled out altogether before then. The 29-year-old appeared in the Patriots' first three games of the 2026 campaign, catching one pass (two targets) for four yards.

Allen (hip) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Allen was limited for a second consecutive day. However, he should be good to go in Week 4 against the Bengals, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback along the way. The 2025 No. 236 overall pick hasn't had a productive 2026 campaign, amassing just two catches (three targets) for nine yards.

Mitchell (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

For the second day in a row, Mitchell had his reps capped while he manages a left ankle injury. So long as he doesn't take a step back in activity during the Chargers' final practice of the week Friday, Mitchell should still be on track to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks. Through the team's first three games, Mitchell has carried 17 times for 85 yards (5.0 YPC) while adding four receptions for 10 yards and a touchdown in a complementary role behind lead back Omarion Hampton.
