Davis didn't have any output in the box score during the Jets' overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Davis didn't see any playing time on offense for the second straight week, as Breece Hall and Braelon Allen once again handled the ground attack. While the 24-year-old did manage to record a tackle across his 22 special-teams snaps, he will likely continue to serve in a limited role unless Hall or Allen gets hurt.

Higbee played 16 offensive snaps and 11 special-teams snaps in Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants.

Higbee played significantly fewer offensive snaps than Colby Parkinson (44), Terrance Ferguson (36) and Davis Allen (32) in the contest. Higbee naturally has extensive rapport with Matthew Stafford and is very well-versed in Sean McVay's offense, but he has an uphill battle for targets in a deep tight-end room.

Johnson played 16 of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps but did not haul in any of his four targets during Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.

All four of Johnson's targets came in the first half, three of which were in the opening quarter. The third-year tight end failed to record a catch, but he did log a tackle on Trent McDuffie after the latter intercepted Jameis Winston midway through the second quarter. Johnson is firmly behind Isaiah Likely on the depth chart, though all of the Giants pass catchers figure to see their production dip with Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart, the latter of whom could miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.

Atwell caught one of two targets for 19 yards during Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants.

Atwell remained an afterthought in the offense, even with Puka Nacua (hip) unavailable, and only played 11 of the team's 62 offensive snaps. He ranked behind Konata Mumpfield (43), Davante Adams (40) and Xavier Smith (26) at wide receiver in offensive snaps, and even if Nacua remains inactive for a Week 3 tilt versus Denver, Atwell will have limited appeal.

Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Berrios played only five of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps in Monday's loss, but he was more involved on special teams, recording two fair catches on punts and two kickoff returns for a total of 53 yards. The Giants can elevate him once more this season before they'd have to sign him to their 53-man roster in order to have him suit up.

Beckham played three of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps and did not see a target in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.

Beckham has logged only 14 snaps on offense without recording a target through the first two games of the regular season. Despite the lack of usage, the veteran wide receiver could factor more into the Giants' gameplan moving forward if Malik Nabers were to miss time due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during Monday's loss. The Giants will head back MetLife Stadium to host the Titans on Sunday.

Patterson was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday, Craig Peters and Rob Kleifield of the team's official website report.

Patterson will get a chance to prove himself with Minnesota after opening the season as a free agent. The running back compiled 159 yards on 41 carries while catching three of four targets for eight yards over six regular-season contests with the Chargers in 2025. Wide receiver Trayvon Rudolph was cut from the Vikings' practice squad in a corresponding move.

The Broncos hosted Scott (undisclosed) for a tryout Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The Jets waived Scott from injured reserve with an injury settlement Aug. 25. The running back has recovered from his undisclosed injury and is ready to compete for a depth spot on the Broncos or some other franchise. With both J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) and RJ Harvey (hamstring) injured, signing with the Broncos' practice squad could be a fast track to elevation for Scott.

The Jets signed Hardy to the practice squad Tuesday.

Hardy failed to make the Saints' active roster after training camp, but he'll get a new opportunity with the Jets on the practice squad. Mason Taylor (thumb) is considered doubtful for Week 3 against the Lions, so Hardy is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster for that contest to provide depth at tight end.

Mumpfield caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Monday night's win over the Giants.

With Puka Nacua (hip) out for Week 2 against New York, Mumpfield saw elevated snaps and actually led all Los Angeles wideouts with a 69 percent snap share on offense. It didn't translate to a notable increase in opportunities from Matthew Stafford, as Mumpfield is deep down the pecking order for targets.
