Cook reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Cook was elevated to operate as the team's backup behind Justin Fields in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. The quarterback didn't enter the game, but he could be asked to join the active roster again in Week 10 if Tyrod Taylor (knee) remains sidelined after New York's Week 9 bye.

Rucci reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Rucci was elevated for the first time this weekend for the Dolphins' Week 8 win over Atlanta. He worked as Miami's third tight end behind Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich and didn't record any targets. Rucci's opportunity came as a result of Darren Waller (IR, pectoral) and Julian Hill (ankle) missing the contest. Waller is on IR and Hill was deemed a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice report, so Rucci certainly has a chance of being elevated again for Thursday's battle against Baltimore.

Heath was targeted three times and caught three passes for 29 yards in Sunday's 35-25 victory over the Steelers.

Fellow wideout Christian Watson made his season debut in Week 8, but another pass catcher -- Dontayvion Wicks (calf) -- did not suit up, so Heath spent another game as Green Bay's fourth wideout and set a season high in receptions. Heath will likely fall behind Wicks on the depth chart when he returns, and one more receiver -- rookie Savion Williams -- could get more involved, which does not leave much upside from a fantasy perspective.

Jennings reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Jennings was elevated for the third week in a row, turning two carries into 15 yards during garbage time while playing five offensive snaps in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns. Additionally, he played 12 snaps with the special-teams unit, recording one tackle on kick coverage. The running back will now have to be officially signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game with New England this season.

Wayne reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.

Wayne was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's win over San Francisco, as both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) were unable to suit up. He took the field for 35 of the Texans' 80 offensive snaps -- third-most among Houston wideouts -- and caught both of his targets for 20 yards. Wayne's likelihood of being elevated again for a Week 9 game versus Denver could depend on whether Collins and/or Kirk is able to return to action.

Davis reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Davis was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos, logging two carries for three yards while playing four offensive snaps. Additionally, he was on the field for 20 snaps with the special-teams unit. Davis can be elevated once more this season before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Zappe reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Zappe was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 8 loss to New England with Shedeur Sanders inactive due to a back injury. However, Zappe didn't get into the game against his former team. The Browns are on bye Week 9, and Zappe's chances of being elevated Week 10 likely hinges on whether Sanders is able to return.

Carlson reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Carlson was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens, failing to record any stats while playing four snaps on offense and seven snaps with the special-teams unit. The tight end finished third in offensive snaps behind Colston Loveland (51) and Durham Smythe (20) at his position, and if Cole Kmet (back) remains out in Week 9, Carlson could be elevated again prior to the team's matchup with the Bengals.

Tunsil has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's Week 8 game against Kansas City due to a hamstring injury.

Tunsil hurt his hamstring on the Commanders' first offensive possession and temporarily exited before returning in the second quarter. However, the veteran left tackle was ruled out after halftime. Brandon Coleman has entered the contest in Tunsil's stead.

Elliott (knee) is likely to miss the remainder of the campaign, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Elliott hurt his knee in Sunday's loss to the Packers. Fowler notes that the safety's ACL is intact and that Elliott is trying to work through the injury but adds that a return this season "is not considered likely at this point." Chuck Clark figures to step in as a near-every-down player during Elliott's absence.
