Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Chiefs' Kenneth Walker: Career-high rushing total in Chiefs debut
Walker rushed 23 times for 173 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of six targets for 18 yards and another score in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.
Walker paid immediate dividends in his Chiefs regular-season debut, finding the end zone via a fourth-down, 60-yard run around left end early in the third quarter before adding a nifty two-yard scoring grab on a shovel pass from Patrick Mahomes within the first minute of the final period. Walker also rattled off productive gains on the ground throughout, as he still averaged 5.1 yards per carry on the 22 other rush attempts he logged outside of his explosive scoring scamper. Walker will have a tall order trying to improve on Monday night's career-best rushing yardage tally, but a Week 2 home matchup Sunday night against a Colts defense that was gashed repeatedly by the Ravens' Derrick Henry in Week 1 affords Kansas City's new star back an exceedingly bright outlook.

CJ Donaldson RB | NO
CJ Donaldson: Reverts to practice squad
Donaldson reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
The running back was elevated for New Orleans' 31-30 overtime loss to Detroit due to both Alvin Kamara (knee) and Audric Estime (thigh) being out. Donaldson played a third-string role behind Travis Etienne and Kendre Miller, seeing 15 offensive snaps and recording two carries for four yards and one catch for minus-2 yards. The Ohio State product also played 20 snaps on special teams.

Kevin Austin Jr. WR | NO
Kevin Austin: Reverts to NOLA's practice squad
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Austin played just six total snaps in Sunday's overtime loss to the Lions. The wide receiver played five offensive snaps, good for just five percent of the team's total offensive plays. Austin's extremely minimal usage casts some doubt as to when he might be elevated again.

DeeJay Dallas RB | MIN
DeeJay Dallas: Reverts to Minnesota's practice squad
Dallas reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Dallas played just six offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Packers. The running back made a larger impact on special teams, logging one tackle on kick coverage over 14 special-teams snaps. Dallas can only be elevated two more times, and after that point he may only play for the Vikings if he is signed to the active roster.

Cody White WR | LV
Cody White: Reverts to practice squad
White reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
White failed to catch his only target in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. The wide receiver played 11 of the 68 offensive snaps for the team, but he added another 14 reps on special teams and recorded three tackles on kick coverage.

Tanner Hudson TE | CIN
Tanner Hudson: Moves back to practice squad
Hudson reverted to the Bengals' practice squad after catching one pass for four yards in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Bucs, per the NFL's official transaction log.
The tight end played on six offensive snaps and 13 special-teams snaps. Hudson got the nod over rookie seventh-round pick Jack Endries as the fourth tight end on Cincinnati's depth chart. Endries, though, is not injured, so it's not clear which player will hold down the spot if the Bengals again carry four players at the position in their next game.

Chris Myarick TE | LV
Chris Myarick: Reverts to Vegas' practice squad
Myarick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Myarick played five offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Dolphins. The tight end blocked well during his time on the field, but it remains to be seen when or if he'll see a future elevation.
-
Nick Mullens QB | JAC
Nick Mullens: Reverts to Jacksonville's practice squad
Mullens reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Mullens played in seven offensive snaps for the Jaguars after the 34-10 blowout win over the Browns was well in hand. Given his experience, Mullens should continue filling the No. 2 role on game days over Quinn Ewers for the foreseeable future.
-
Kaden Davis WR | CHI
Kaden Davis: Reverts to Chicago's practice squad
Davis reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Davis played 10 offensive snaps for the Bears but did not appear in the box score during Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers. The wide receiver's real value came on special teams, as he recovered Jimmy Horn's muffed punt to steal a possession for the Bears.
-
Frank Gore Jr. RB | BUF
Frank Gore: Reverts to practice squad
Gore reverted to the practice squad after recording one carry for three yards in Buffalo's 36-31 win over Houston on Sunday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.
The running back played on 11 offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps. Gore was elevated for Week 1 because Ty Johnson was dealing with a hamstring injury. If Johnson can play in Week 2, it seems unlikely that Gore will be elevated again.
