Ward reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday.

Ward got his first action in Pittsburgh with Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out of action. The 26-year-old saw three snaps on offense but got two carries for a total of nine yards. If Warren and Patterson were to remain out in Week 6 against the Raiders, Ward would likely see another elevation to the active roster.

Miller reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.

Miller was elevated to help the backfield depth with Devin Singletary (groin) inactive. However, the South Carolina product saw just one snap on offense and didn't run the ball, while Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray handled the rest of the work.

Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday.

Gaskin had two carries for two yards and one reception for 11 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over the Jets in London. The Washington product has played in all five games for the Vikings this season and is a candidate to be elevated again in Week 7 after the team's bye week.

McCormick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

McCormick got a chance with the active roster in Sunday's loss to the Broncos due to Zamir White (groin) being out of action. However, the UTSA product didn't see a single snap on offense and only contributed on special teams.

Abdullah rushed five times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos. He also caught all three of his targets for nine yards and he returned one kickoff for 23 yards.

Abdullah logged a season-high 31 offensive snaps behind Alexander Mattison with fellow running back Zamir White (groin) sidelined for Sunday's tilt, and Abdullah took advantage as he translated the additional playing time into eight touches for 51 yards and a score, finding the end zone on a three-yard rush late in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the contest, Abdullah notched the Raiders' second-longest play of the game when he took a carry 40 yards to begin a drive. The 31-year-old could return to more of a reserve role offensively if White manages to suit up against the Steelers in Week 6.

Benson was active but didn't play in Sunday's 24-23 victory in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, James Conner continued to dominate the Cardinals backfield to the tune of a 79 percent snap share and 21 touches, and Emari Demercado earned 22 percent of the snaps and just one touch (a catch for no yards). Benson has had two outings this season with significant touches -- 12 in Week 2, nine in Week 4 -- but in the latter contest, all but one of the nine occurred in garbage time of a blowout loss to the Commanders. Benson appears to be firmly behind Conner and Demercado among Arizona's running backs when the entire group is healthy.

Demercado didn't have a carry and gathered in his only target for no yards during Sunday's 24-23 victory at San Francisco.

For the second time in five contests this season, Demercado didn't record a carry, but he at least earned snaps (13 of 58), which can't be said for 2024 third-rounder Trey Benson. The rookie was active, but Demercado was the only one of the duo to get any work behind starter James Conner, who played 79 percent of the offensive plays and turned 21 touches into 100 yards from scrimmage. At the very least, Demercado seems to have a firm grasp on the No. 2 RB role in Arizona, but he's so far averaging just 2.4 touches per game.

Hunt rushed 27 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Chiefs' 26-13 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Playing in only his second game of the season -- and as a Chief since 2018 -- Hunt handled a massive workload with aplomb while grinding out tough yardage throughout the night. Hunt's longest run was only eight yards, and his carry total was his highest since Week 16 of his rookie 2017 campaign. Hunt's involvement in the passing game was minimal despite his extensive body of work in that realm and the fact the Chiefs were down yet another pass catcher in Rashee Rice (IR, knee), but his standing as the unquestioned No. 1 back gives him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the 49ers following a Week 6 bye.

Kamara rushed 11 times for 26 yards and caught six of eight targets for 40 yards in Monday's 26-13 loss to the Chiefs.

Kamara was stuffed on most of his carries against a tough Kansas City defensive line in Monday's primetime matchup. The versatile running back maintained a modest four-game streak of posting 40 or more receiving yards on his six receptions. Kamara will look for more success from a fantasy perspective in a home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Hull reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Hull was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Jaguars, failing appear in the game. If Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remains unavailable in Week 6 versus the Titans, Hull may be elevated again.
