Irving rushed seven times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted during the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Irving saw just over half (17) of backfield mate Rachaad White's (groin) 33 snaps from scrimmage, but the latter missed a handful of plays in the first half due to his injury. Irving already seems to be locked into a reliable complementary role at minimum, and there's certainly a possibility his participation expands during a Week 3 home matchup against the Broncos if White is limited in any way.

Bigsby (shoulder) returned to Sunday's loss against Cleveland but didn't play any offensive snaps.

Bigsby suffered a shoulder injury during the second quarter on a kickoff return, and he was able to return to the contest during the second half. The 2023 third-round pick didn't play any offensive snaps in the game, as D'Ernest Johnson carried five times for 26 yards behind starting running back Travis Etienne. Bigsby had a promising season opener with 12 carries for 73 yards, but his involvement Week 2 left a lot to be desired. Even though he returned to the field, the shoulder injury may have affected Bigsby's role versus the Browns, so he still should be considered Jacksonville's No. 2 running back for now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
