Davis caught his lone target for 31 yards while adding two carries for two yards and three kickoff returns for 114 yards during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday.

Davis opened Monday's contest in style with a 70-yard return on the opening kickoff that set the Bills up deep in Rams territory, though the Rams defense forced a three-and-out and Buffalo had to settle for a 49-yard field goal. Davis made another big contribution early in the fourth quarter, when he turned a screen pass into a 31-yard gain before being tackled just short of the goal line, which led to a one-yard touchdown run by Josh Allen on the next play. Davis has been limited mostly to work on special teams while mixing in occasionally in the back field. That said, Davis and Ty Johnson could both be in the mix for more offensive touches, given that head coach Joe Brady said Tuesday that "...at some point there has to be consequences" in reference to James Cook's fumble issues this season, per Nick Suss of ESPN.com. The Bills will stay on the road for Week 6 against the Raiders on Oct. 18.

Hill turned four carries into 73 yards and caught two of four targets for five yards during the Ravens' 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Hill was responsible for each of the Ravens' two longest offensive plays of the game. He turned his first carry into 21 yards early in the first quarter before breaking away for a 47-yard scamper midway through the third, which led to an 18-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Huntley to Derrick Henry two plays later. Hill's 73 rushing yards were his most in a game since Week 4 against the Chiefs (76), although he's firmly entrenched as the Ravens' change-of-pace RB2 behind Henry. The Ravens will stay on the road for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Miller turned 10 carries into 30 yards and a touchdown during the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Miller averaged only 3.0 YPC during Sunday's loss, but his two-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter gave the Saints an early 7-3 lead, although New Orleans' offense generated only three more points the rest of the way. His 10 carries led the Saints' backfield that also includes CJ Donaldson (four carries) and Alvin Kamara (three), though Miller had only three rushes during the second half. Kamara dealt with a back issue during Week 5 prep, and if that issue continues to linger, then Miller could be the Saints' lead back for Week 6 against the Giants this Sunday.

The Seahawks signed Jones to their practice squad Tuesday.

Jones is set to remain in Seattle despite having been waived from the team's active roster earlier in the day. The 29-year-old had played almost exclusively on special teams across the first four outings of the campaign and will likely be confined to a similar role if activated for another game.

Dallas signed Demercado to its 53-man roster Tuesday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

The Cowboys waived Demercado ahead of their Week 5 contest versus the Buccaneers, but he's now back with the club as it prepares for Week 6. As long as starter Javonte Williams and Tyler Goodson remain available, Demercado projects to be used only sparingly, if at all.

Philadelphia is expected to sign Jackson (undisclosed) to its practice squad, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, the Eagles worked out Jackson on Tuesday, and it seems like they liked what they saw from the big running back. Philadelphia recently placed Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on its injured reserve list, and starter Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and 2024 fourth-rounder Will Shipley (foot) are also dealing with injuries, so it makes sense that the team might want to add some organizational depth in the backfield.

Johnson caught all four of his targets for 72 yards during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday.

Johnson played only 14 of the Bills' 64 offensive snaps (21.9 percent) and didn't log a single carry. However, the veteran running back made his snaps count as a receiver, rumbling for 40 yards on his first catch midway through the second quarter that led to a 17-yard touchdown run by James Cook on the very next play. Johnson added three more catches in the second half -- including a 26-yard grab -- and finished second on the Bills in receiving yards behind Khalil Shakir (80). Johnson will continue to operate as the Bills' change-of-pace back heading into Week 7 against the Raiders.

New Orleans cut Bentley from its practice squad Tuesday.

Less than two weeks after signing Bentley to their practice squad, the Saints are now letting him go. His last regular-season action came last year with the Colts, when he took one carry for no gain in their regular-season opener.

Charbonnet (knee) was estimated as a limited practice participant Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Charbonnet has been listed as limited for each of the first two estimated practice reports of Week 6 prep. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he sustained in January. However, seeing has he has yet to log a full practice since his 21-day evaluation window opened last week, Charbonnet should be considered a long shot to be reinstated from the Seahawks' reserve/PUP list before Thursday night's game against the Broncos. Week 7 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 25 figures to be a more appropriate return date for the fourth-year running back out of UCLA.

Stevenson is expected to take on a heavier workload for the next few weeks while TreVeyon Henderson recovers from a high-ankle sprain that he sustained in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders, per ESPN.

The good news for Henderson is that surgery is not required, but whether an stint on injured reserve is necessary remains to be seen. Stevenson has served as the Patriots' RB1 this season, and the veteran's share of the backfield snap count figures to grow even more for as long as Henderson is sidelined, with Corey Kiner slated to take on backup duties. Over his last two games, Stevenson has turned 26 carries into 111 yards (4.3 YPC) and two touchdowns while adding six catches on eight targets for 48 yards.
