Henry rushed 26 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns while catching his lone target for no gain in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys.

Henry scored a four-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter and a three-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, but he was denied the hat trick in the fourth quarter, when a would-be third rushing score was ruled down at the 1-yard line on replay, and Henry's subsequent effort to get in on fourth down was stuffed. The 32-year-old Henry is showing no signs of slowing down, as he has six touchdowns through three games and is averaging just over 100 rushing yards per game heading into a Week 4 home game against the winless Titans.

Hubbard rushed 19 times for 82 yards and brought in all four targets for 28 yards in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

As expected, Hubbard dominated the touches out of the Panthers backfield, outpacing AJ Dillon by 15 carries. Hubbard also played his customary pass-game role with efficacy, recording a new season high in receptions along the way. Hubbard has also upped his rushing yardage total over that of the previous contest in each game so far, and considering Jonathon Brooks (IR, abdomen) will remain unavailable for the foreseeable future, the former lines up for another workhorse role in a Week 4 home showdown against the Lions next Sunday night.

Etienne exited Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders due to an injury to the same hamstring which bothered him in practice leading up to the game, head coach Kellen Moore revealed after the loss, John Hendrix of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Etienne's second-half hamstring injury was an aggravation of a previous injury, which limited his practice participation Wednesday and Thursday. Soft-tissue injuries have a tendency to linger, so it wouldn't be surprising if Etienne missed some game action to allow his hamstring to heal, especially since the Saints could opt for a cautious approach with Etienne after signing him to a four-year, $52 million contract in March. Further testing on the injury may be required before a return timetable is established, though Moore said that an update on Etienne and other injured players may be provided Monday. If Etienne were to miss any time, more touches would be available for Alvin Kamara, CJ Donaldson and Kendre Miller.

Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 19 times for 36 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks.

The second-year back couldn't get much going against the defending Super Bowl champs, with his longest run going for just nine yards, but the 20 touches did represent a season high in volume. Croskey-Merritt remains the top early-down option in the Commanders' backfield, and through three games he's gained 142 rushing yards and a TD on 47 carries. He could find more running room in a Week 4 home tilt against the Colts.

Price carried the ball five times for 15 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.

The Seahawks' running game continues to struggle, and Price's inability to make a consistent impact is causing him to lose touches. After seeing double-digit carries in each of his first two NFL games, the rookie's six touches trailed both Emanuel Wilson (nine carries) and George Holani (three totes and five catches). The chest injury Price suffered in Week 2 may have played a role in that distribution, but he hadn't topped 60 scrimmage yards or found the end zone in either of the first two weeks. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) getting closer to his 2026 debut, time may be running out for Price to establish himself in the lead role before the backfield gets even more crowded. He'll try to get going in a Week 4 home tilt against the Chargers.

Etienne (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Etienne went to the locker room in the second half due to an injury, and the reason for his exit has now been revealed. This injury could be an aggravation of the hamstring injury that bothered Etienne in practice leading up to the game. Alvin Kamara, CJ Donaldson and Kendre Miller are the available options in the backfield for New Orleans while Etienne is unavailable.

Gibbs carried the ball 20 times for 99 yards and two touchdowns while catching seven of eight targets for 65 yards and a third TD in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.

That's now six trips to the end zone in three games to begin the season for Gibbs, who ran it in from 17 yards and one yard before hauling in a game-winning 11-yard toss from Jared Goff inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. Gibbs has added 463 scrimmage yards to his ledger as well, more than earning his spot at the top of preseason draft boards. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 4 road clash against the Panthers.

Etienne (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.

Etienne was favoring one of his legs after a 16-yard run in the second half and went to the locker room shortly after going into the injury tent. It's unclear if this injury is connected to the hamstring injury that limited Etienne's practice participation during the week leading up to Sunday's game. Etienne had 13 carries for 57 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards prior to getting hurt. His return can be considered questionable, with Alvin Kamara next in line for touches out of the backfield.

Hampton rushed 15 times for 56 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

The Chargers' No. 1 back got seven more carries than change-of-pace option Keaton Mitchell, but he was only able to outpace the latter by four yards. It was a disappointing downturn for Hampton, who'd broken out with 94 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding a 2-21-0 receiving line against the Raiders in Week 2. The Chargers are now alarmingly 0-3 heading into a daunting Week 4 road matchup against the Seahawks, but Hampton figures to remain in a clear-cut lead role for that contest.

Judkins rushed 18 times for 70 yards and brought in both targets for nine yards in the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Judkins took all but one of the Browns' running backs' carries, and he was able to capitalize on an injury-hampered Panthers defense to produce his best showing of the new season. Judkins still finished under 4.0 yards per carry, but after averaging under 3.0 in each of the first two games, Sunday's effort was certainly an improvement. Judkins and the surprising 2-1 Browns now have a quick turnaround for a Week 4 home divisional clash against the Steelers on Thursday night.
