Johnson rushed two times for zero yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Texans.

Johnson played 12 of the Jaguars 58 offensive snaps in the contest, behind both Travis Etienne (30) and Tank Bigsby (17). With such limited playing time and touches, the 28-year-old does not hold much fantasy value as the Jaguars third-string running back. Johnson and the Jaguars will square off against the Colts in Week 5.

Gainwell rushed twice for a season-high nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Bucs.

Gainwell's 24 offensive snaps easily outpaced his previous season high of 14, but he remains a very minor part of the team's gameplan. Gainwell has received exactly two touches in all four games so far, and it would seemingly take an injury to Saquon Barkley for that to change.

Ahmed was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ahmed was released by the Dolphins with an injury waiver in late August, but he appears to have recovered from the undisclosed injury. With Tyler Badie (back) sidelined for at least the near future, it's possible that Ahmed could earn an elevation to the active roster in the coming weeks.

Ekeler (concussion) expects to play Week 5 versus the Browns, Grant Paulsen of The Athletic reports.

Ekeler was unavailable for the team's Week 4 win over the Cardinals due to a concussion, and the running back is still working his way through league protocols. Ekeler said Tuesday that he is "feeling more like himself," and his status on the team's injury report throughout the week will be worth monitoring.

The Steelers signed Perine to the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Perine inked a one-year deal with the Steelers in May, but he was unable to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He opted to sign with the Packers' practice squad but was let go by Green Bay on Sept. 10. Now in Pittsburgh, Perine adds depth to the Steelers' backfield, and he could be called up for Week 5 against the Cowboys if one or both of Jaylen Warren (knee) or Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) cannot play.

The Saints waived Kibodi off the practice squad Tuesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

The undrafted free agent out of Louisiana signed with the Saints in April. Kibodi wasn't able to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. Assuming he clears waivers, Kibodi will look to catch on with another team in need of backfield depth.

Robinson (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Robinson has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a hamstring issue. As he's facing a short week of rest prior to Thursday's key divisional matchup against the Buccaneers, the extent of Robinson's participation in Wednesday's practice will be telling. If he enters Thursday's matchup at anything less than 100 percent, Atlanta could opt to lean on Tyler Allgeier more heavily than usual in the running game.

Kelly was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday.

Kelly was elevated from Baltimore's practice squad to their active roster twice this season, handling kick return duties for the team. However, Deonte Harty has taken over that role since, leaving Kelly without much of a role. The Tennessee product will now have to search out a new opportunity.

Funk signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.

Funk spent training camp with the Lions but wasn't able to secure a 53-man roster spot. He's been a free agent since, but he'll now have a chance to make an impression in Jacksonville. In a corresponding move, the Jaguars cut fellow running back Jalen Jackson from the practice squad.

Wright carried the ball nine times for 32 yards and failed to secure his only target during Miami's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Wright handled an increased workload due to Raheem Mostert (chest) remaining sidelined and Jeff Wilson (quadriceps) picking up an injury in pre-game warmups Monday, which limited him to two offensive snaps. Still, neither Wright or De'Von Achane (10 carries for 15 yards) were able to get much going in what was another miserable showing for the Dolphins' offense. Miami will have an opportunity to bounce back against New England on Sunday, but if Mostert and/or Wilson are back in action, Wright will stand to see his workload decline.
