Loveland secured six of seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

The rookie put a thrilling cap on the wildest fourth quarter of the season, recording a 58-yard catch-and-run touchdown during which he bounced off a would-be tackler in the middle of the field and sprinted into the end zone with 17 seconds remaining. Loveland preceded that memorable play with a five-yard scoring grab in the first half of the third quarter, and the two catches served as the 2025 first-round pick's first pair of NFL touchdowns. Loveland's career-high reception, yardage and target totals were partly the result of Cole Kmet exiting the game with a concussion in the second quarter, but the former is clearly earning the right to more playing time by the week.

Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

While his numbers were modest, Musgrave set new season highs in catches, targets and yardage. All three looks from Jordan Love came in the fourth quarter after Tucker Kraft (knee) left the game and didn't return, an injury the Packers are worried could be season-ending, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. If Tucker is indeed set to miss time, Musgrave will be set for a much bigger role beginning in Week 10 against the Eagles despite his meager 9-88-0 line on 10 targets through eight games.

Taylor rushed14 times for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers. He added two receptions on two targets for 12 yards.

Taylor has been unstoppable most of the season, but he was underwhelming in Sunday's loss. He was limited to only 3.2 yards per carry with a long gain of nine, though the Colts were also forced to take to the air as they faced a two-score deficit for nearly the entire second half. That limited Taylor's volume and led to his lowest yardage output of the season. This was also the first time he didn't find the end zone since Week 4.

Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards and caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers.

Singletary outplayed Tyrone Tracy in the first game after Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle injury. Tracy turned five carries and four targets into 37 scrimmage yards. The Giants' only rushing touchdown of the game was scored by Jaxson Dart, who also led the team with 56 rushing yards. The rookie quarterback will likely remain involved in the rushing attack against the Bears in Week 10, but Singletary and Tracy both look poised to maintain significant roles while splitting carries in the aftermath of Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle injury.

Alt is believed to have suffered a right high ankle sprain in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

Alt was carted off the field in the second quarter, and he's apparently dealing with another high ankle sprain on his right leg. It's the same injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Giants, but this time it could require a procedure to repair it. The offensive lineman will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. If Alt is forced to miss action moving forward, Jamaree Salyer is a top candidate to take over at left tackle.

Monangai rushed 26 times for 176 yards and brought in three of five targets for 22 yards in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

The rookie seventh-round pick got the starting call due to both D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) being sidelined, and Monangai delivered even better returns than he was already projected for while facing a highly porous Bengals defense. Monangai's longest run of the day went for an impressive 39 yards, one of his three gains of 10-plus yards on the ground. The standout performance certainly gives the Bears confidence -- and perhaps the luxury of sitting Swift out an extra week if he's not fully healthy -- when they draw another extremely favorable matchup for the running game in that of the visiting Giants in Week 10.

Jennings rushed 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

Jennings scored his first NFL touchdown on a three-yard run in the second quarter. The second-year pro out of Florida A&M played an expanded role in the absence of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), though TreVeyon Henderson led New England's backfield with 87 yards on 18 touches. Jennings' catch was also the first of his career, suggesting his involvement will likely come primarily on the ground, but he could continue to factor in against the stout Buccaneers run defense in Week 10 if Stevenson remains sidelined.

Henderson rushed 14 times for 55 yards and caught four of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

Henderson set a new career high in carries as the Patriots played without Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), and the rookie second-round pick's 55 rushing yards marked the second-highest total of Henderson's career behind his 75 against the Browns in Week 8. Terrell Jennings played a complementary role alongside Henderson, rushing 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown. Henderson's production has been trending up, but he'll remain part of a platoon in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, whether he's splitting carries with Stevenson or Jennings.

Watson caught two of four targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

Most of his production came on a 52-yard reception early in the second quarter that set up a field goal for the Packers' first points of the game. Watson has seen exactly four targets in back-to-back weeks since completing his recovery from a torn ACL and making his season debut, but his role in the passing attack could grow significantly as both Tucker Kraft (knee) and Matthew Golden (shoulder) left Sunday's loss in the second half and didn't return. If those injuries prove to be serious, Watson would likely become Jordan Love's No. 2 target in Week 10 against the Eagles.

Long (hip/knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Long sustained hip and knee injuries while hauling in a 24-yard pass from Trevor Lawrence midway through the second quarter, which was negated by a penalty. The Jaguars are already without Brenton Strange (quadriceps - IR) and Quintin Morris (groin) for Week 9. If Long is not cleared to return, that would leave Johnny Mundt as the only healthy tight end on the active roster for the rest of Sunday's contest.
