Demercado (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Ravens in Rio de Janeiro.

Demercado served as the No. 2 RB behind Javonte Williams in the first two games of the campaign, totaling five carries for 15 yards. In Week 3, though, he'll take a backseat to Tyler Goodson. Demercado's next chance to suit up is next Sunday in Houston.

White (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks in the third quarter, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

White earned three touches and recorded a receiving touchdown in the first half before getting banged up shortly before the end of the second quarter. After receiving treatment during halftime, White looks like he'll be able to fill a change-of-pace role out of the Washington backfield for the rest of the contest.

Gordon (cramps) checked back into Sunday's game against the Chiefs in the fourth quarter, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Gordon was labeled questionable to return after experiencing cramping in the third quarter, but he appears to have responded well to treatment. His availability for the rest of Sunday's contest is critical, as he's the Dolphins' lone available running back after De'Von Achane (knee) exited early and Jaylen Wright (foot) was inactive for the game.

Al-Shaair (groin) has returned to Sunday's game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Al-Shaair briefly left the game due to a groin injury. The veteran linebacker has been cleared to return after being evaluated by medical staff, and Wade Woodaz is on standby in case Al-Shaair needs to leave the game again.

Chenal (neck) won't return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Chenal was carted off the field after suffering the injury, so the latest update is hardly a surprise. While it's too early to speculate, his status for the Week 4 meeting with the Colts is in jeopardy. However, an absence could extend beyond that contest, considering it's a neck injury.

Coker (quad) won't reenter Sunday's contest at Cleveland, Kassidy Hill of the Panther's official site reports.

When Coker exited in the second half of Week 3 action, he initially was deemed questionable to return but now isn't a candidate to do so. He'll wrap up Sunday with two catches (on four targets) for 18 yards.

Goodson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Goodson will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, with the Cowboys going with two running backs on the game day roster in Javonte Williams and Emari Demercado. Goodson's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Gordon is listed as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to cramping.

With Jaylen Wright (foot) inactive for the contest and De'Von Achane (knee) making an early exit, Gordon was the Dolphins' only available running back, so Miami will have to get creative out of the backfield if Gordon can't return to the game. Before checking out of the game, Gordon had shouldered a heavy workload, carrying 14 times for 37 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 14 yards.

Emerson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Emerson injured his shoulder during the Saints' Week 2 win over the Ravens. He drew the questionable tag for Week 3 following a limited practice Friday, but he'll be sidelined for Sunday's game after failing to be cleared by medical staff following pregame warmups. Jayden Price, Michael Reid and Decamerion Richardson will provide depth in the secondary in Emerson's absence.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday.

For a third consecutive week, Wilson will be the Saints' emergency QB3, meaning he cannot play Sunday unless both Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
