Dowdle (undisclosed) needed a cart to go to the locker room during Sunday's game in New England, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Dowdle exhibited a limp while making his way from the sideline tent to the cart, but the nature of the issue isn't known. At the time of his exit in the second quarter, he had four carries for 11 yards and had hauled in his only target for nine yards.

The Eagles announced that Barkley (neck/shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans due to a stinger.

Barkley appeared to be favoring his neck and left shoulder after he was tackled to the ground on a carry during the Eagles' first offensive play of the game. The running back headed to the locker room shortly after the play in question and is receiving further treatment for the injury while the Eagles determine whether or not he's able to return. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley will likely share work out of the backfield if Barkley ends up being shut down for the rest of the contest.

Barkley headed to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans to be evaluated for an apparent left arm injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Barkley sustained the injury on a zero-yard carry on the Eagles' first offensive play of the game. After a brief trip to the medical tent on the sideline, Barkley jogged back to the locker room to be checked out further. The Eagles should have an update on the star running back's status shortly.

Harris has a chance to make his Giants debut Monday at the Rams, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Harris was a healthy scratch Week 1 against the Cowboys, but with fellow RB Tyrone Tracy fumbling on his second offensive snap and not seeing the field thereafter, New York may be ready to see what the former can give them in its second game of the campaign. Cam Skattebo is the unquestioned No. 1 option out of the backfield, and Devin Singletary served adequately in a complementary role in the season opener, but if Harris is active Monday, the 6-foot-1, 232-pounder could get some reps in at least short-yardage situations.

Miller (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday in Baltimore.

Miller served as the No. 2 RB behind Travis Etienne in Week 1 with Alvin Kamara inactive due to a knee issue, but with Kamara back in action Sunday, Miller will be a healthy scratch. That leaves CJ Donaldson as the active third backfield option behind Etienne and Kamara in Week 2. Miller's next chance for game action is next Sunday against the Raiders.

Black (groin) is on track to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Black popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited participant due to a groin injury, and he was given a questionable designation after getting in another limited session Friday. While there is reason to believe he will take the field Sunday, his availability will not be confirmed until the 49ers release their inactives 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Harvey (hamstring) "is unlikely to play" Sunday against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Harvey was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday's session, but it appears he will not be able to give it a go in Week 2. The Broncos and Jaguars will not kick off until 4:05 p.m. ET, so unfortunately for fantasy players Harvey's availability for Sunday's game will not officially be revealed until after the early wave of games gets underway. Rookie Jonah Coleman could see more time behind J.K. Dobbins if Harvey is unable to suit up.

The Steelers placed Hurleman (undisclosed) on practice squad injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Hurleman signed with the Steelers' practice squad Sept. 2. The wide receiver has suffered an undisclosed injury and will now need to miss four games before he is eligible to return to the 16-man practice squad.

The Steelers elevated Homer from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Homer is set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The running back has logged 1,286 special-teams snaps in the regular season since being drafted in the sixth round by the Seahawks in 2019. The 28-year-old has likely been elevated to assist the Steelers' special teams unit while Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle and Eli Heidenreich take care of the rushing offense.

Gore played nine offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps in the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions on Thursday.

Gore did not appear in the box score, but the running back was a frequent pass blocker for Josh Allen in the Bills' offense. The practice-squad elevation also participated in kickoff and punt coverage as he filled the No. 3 running back in Ty Johnson's (hamstring) absence.
