MarShawn Lloyd RB | GB
Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Considers self day-to-day
Lloyd said Monday he suffered an ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Colts and feels day-to-day, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Lloyd expressed frustration with the series of injuries he's already had to deal with in his burgeoning NFL career, but it looks like he could have a chance of getting healthy in time to play Week 3 versus the Titans. The rookie third-round pick entered Sunday's win over Indianapolis having just recovered from a hamstring issue, but he picked up the ankle sprain after playing just 10 offensive snaps.

Tyler Goodson RB | ATL
Colts' Tyler Goodson: Minimal role on offense
Goodson had one reception for two yards on his lone target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Packers.
Goodson played on just nine of the offense's 56 snaps but got most of his usage late in the fourth quarter when the Colts were playing from behind. Jonathan Taylor was surprisingly on the bench late in the game after some drops earlier in the contest, so Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson could see more of a role in the passing game in the short term. Goodson didn't play on offense in Week 1.

Trey Sermon RB | PIT
Colts' Trey Sermon: Gets time late in loss
Sermon had two carries for zero total yards and one reception for seven yards in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.
Sermon played on just 18 of the offense's 56 snaps but got most of his usage late in the fourth quarter when the Colts were playing from behind. Jonathan Taylor was surprisingly on the bench late after some drops earlier in the game, so Sermon and Tyler Goodson could see more of a role in the passing game.

Isiah Pacheco RB | DET
Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Could miss 6-to-8 weeks
Pacheco (fibula) is expected to miss in the range of 6-to-8 weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
For his part, coach Andy Reid has already confirmed that Pacheco will miss Sunday's game against the Falcons, per Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star, while acknowledging that "it's going to take a little bit of time there" for the running back to recover from his fibula injury. With Pacheco expected to land on IR, Carson Steele and Samaje Perine are next up in the Chiefs' backfield pecking order, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire -- who is on the non-football illness list -- not eligible to return to the active roster until Week 5. The team also has Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey on the practice squad and plans to bring Kareem Hunt in for a visit.

Justice Hill RB | BAL
Ravens' Justice Hill: Seeing plenty of playing time
Hill had four carries for 22 yards and caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Raiders.
Once again, Hill out-snapped Derrick Henry by a count of 35-30 in a loss. Hill wasn't as involved in the passing game this time around, though, as his target count dropped from eight to two. Baltimore still is finding its identity on offense with a rebuilt offensive line and the addition of Henry to the mix, but Hill seems to be in line for a healthy snap share for the time being thanks to his complementary skill set to that of Henry's. The Ravens face the Cowboys in a Week 3 game that is teetering on being a must-win for Baltimore.

JaMycal Hasty RB | NE
Patriots' JaMycal Hasty: One carry Sunday
Hasty was on the field for three of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Hasty, who also logged 10 special-teams snaps, carried once for two yards in the contest. He's off the fantasy radar as long as Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson remain healthy.

Pierre Strong Jr. RB | GB
Browns' Pierre Strong: Week-to-week with hamstring issue
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Strong is viewed as week-to-week with a hamstring injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Strong played 21 total snaps (10 offensive and 11 on special teams), returned one kickoff for 25 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards before leaving the Browns' Week 2 win with a hamstring injury. Expect D'Onta Foreman to work as Cleveland's No. 2 running back behind Jerome Ford while Strong recovers.

Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR
Rams' Ronnie Rivers: One catch in defeat
Rivers caught his only target for no gain and played three snaps on offense during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Kyren Williams continued to dominate the touches in the backfield, only yielding three snaps to Rivers before the game was completely out of hand. Rookie Blake Corum had eight rushing attempts, but all eight came on the final drive of the game with the game already wrapped up, so his usage was likely to eat up the remaining clock and protect an already depleted offense from taking any further damage. It appears that, so long as Williams is healthy, Rivers and Corum will be mostly used for special teams, but Rivers is the only other back on the roster to play meaningful snaps through the Rams' first two games.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Has minor groin injury
White sustained a groin injury during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions, but the issue is not considered major, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
White was effectively contained by Detroit on Sunday, rushing just 10 times for 18 yards while securing his only target for five yards. He picked up the groin issue in the first half and was briefly forced off the field, but the starting running back managed to return without missing much time. White's injury doesn't currently seem likely to impact his availability versus the Broncos in Week 3, but he's averaging a paltry 2.0 YPC through two games to begin the 2024 season. If White's groin issue seems to hamper him as a runner in practice this week, Tampa Bay could elect to give Bucky Irving more opportunities on the ground against Denver.

Alexander Mattison RB | MIA
Raiders' Alexander Mattison: Scores goal-line TD in victory
Mattison rushed four times for one yard and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Ravens.
The former Viking wasn't targeted in the passing game Sunday after quarterback Gardner Minshew looked his way on six separate occasions in the season opener, but Mattison was dealt a goal-line carry late in the third quarter, which he converted for a one-yard touchdown run. Aside from falling into the end zone, Mattison netted no production as the Raiders' entire backfield was stymied on the ground by the Ravens' defensive front. Both Mattison and Zamir White will look to find more space to run at home against a struggling Panthers team in Week 3.
