Goodson had two carries for six yards in Sunday's win at Tennessee.

Goodson made his regular-season debut after missing the first two games due to an elbow injury. He played four snaps on offense compared to eight snaps for DJ Giddens but got one more carry. It's not clear who is Taylor's primary backup as Goodson could be used in more passing situations, but neither backup is getting much usage as Taylor again got almost all the opportunities (17 carries and four targets) and played on 77 percent of the offense's snaps.

The Ravens elevated Mitchell-Paden from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Lions.

Mitchell-Paden has been elevated to the active roster for each of the Ravens' first three games of the regular season due to the absence of Isaiah Likely (foot). A player is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad up to three times in a season, so the Ravens would have to sign Mitchell-Paden to the active roster if they wish for him to play beyond Week 3. He has mostly played in a rotational role at tight end behind Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar through the first two games of 2025.

Sanchez had one punt for 46 yards that had no return in Sunday's win at Tennessee. It was his first punt of the season.

The Colts didn't punt on any of their first 20 drives of the season, which is tied for the fifth-longest streak since 1993.

Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Ouzts injured his ankle during the Seahawks' 44-13 win over the Saints on Sunday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

It's unclear when the rookie fifth-rounder suffered the injury, but with the Seahawks on short rest, it puts him in greater jeopardy of missing Thursday's NFC West clash against the Cardinals in Arizona. Ouzts' practice participation over the coming days will be worth monitoring, and if he's not cleared to play Thursday, Brady Russell would step in as the Seahawks' top fullback.

Head coach Dan Quinn relayed Monday that Lattimore (head) has cleared concussion protocol, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Lattimore was removed from Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders after taking a hit to the head. He didn't return while being evaluated for a concussion, but he has passed the league's protocol and should be available for the Commanders' Week 4 clash against the Falcons in Atlanta. Before being removed from Sunday's game, Lattimore logged three tackles (two solo) and one pass defense.

The Saints waived Austin on Monday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Austin was signed to the Saints' active roster Saturday after starting the regular season on the team's practice squad. He played 22 offensive snaps during New Orleans' 44-13 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday and failed to haul in his lone target. Austin will have the opportunity to explore his next options if he clears waivers, but he could opt to stay in New Orleans as a member of the practice squad.

The Commanders placed Harris (leg) on injured reserve Monday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

A stint on injured reserve requires a player to miss at least the next four games. However, Harris fractured his fibula during the Commanders' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday, and that injury is significant enough for him that he may not return until late in the regular season, if at all. Following injuries to Harris and Percy Butler (hip), the Commanders fortified their depth at safety by signing 2019 first-rounder Darnell Savage to a one-year contract Monday.

Sanders has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain following his MRI on Monday and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Sanders' injury could make him a candidate for IR, in which case he'd be required to sit out at least four contests. The second-year tight end was forced out of Sunday's win over the Falcons in the fourth quarter. As long as Sanders is unable to take the field, Tommy Tremble will figure to handle a modest uptick in receiving volume in addition to his usual blocking responsibilities.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Duck is "progressing" through his ankle injury but "is almost ruled out" for the Dolphins' Week 4 AFC East clash against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 29, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Duck suffered an ankle injury during the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts. The injury has prevented him from suiting up the last two games and it appears likely that Duck will also be sidelined against the Jets, but he could be cleared to return Week 5 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 5. Veteran Rasul Douglas will continue to see additional playing time at outside corner opposite Jack Jones for as long as Duck is sidelined.

Van Ginkel recorded 2.0 sacks in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Van Ginkel missed Week 2 after entering the league's concussion protocol following the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears. He played on just eight of the defense's 56 snaps, as he was likely rested amid a blowout win. He'll likely return to regular usage next week against Pittsburgh.
