Desrosiers carried the ball three times for 20 yards during the Giants' win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Desrosiers made his regular-season debut during the victory, serving as the team's No. 2 running back behind Devin Singletary as Cam Skattebo was out due to a hamstring injury. With Skattebo now healthy again, Desrosiers will likely be relegated to a depth role during Thursday's matchup versus the Commanders.

Etienne carried the ball two times for seven yards and returned one punt for nine yards during Carolina'a loss Sunday to the Broncos.

Etienne once again saw limited action offensively, playing just seven snaps. The 2025 fourth-round pick was the only running back other than Chuba Hubbard to record a carry and should continue to serve as the team's No. 2 back while Jonathon Brooks remains sidelined due to an abdomen injury.

Wilson didn't log any snaps during Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Wilson averaged 18.2 carries for 66.7 yards over six games between Week 2 and Week 7, culminating with a 24-100-1 rushing line against Kansas City. However, that opportunity came while Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet were on IR. Both running backs returned ahead of the Week 8 matchup against Chicago, and Wilson hasn't played a single offensive snap in two games since. As long as Charbonnet and Price are both healthy, it appears Wilson is going to be relegated primarily to a special-teams role, if he plays at all.

Herbert carried the ball once for seven yards and caught two of his three targets for two yards during Atlanta's loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Herbert continued to serve a limited role in his first game since being signed to the active roster from the practice squad, as he played just 11 snaps on offense and nine on special teams. With Brian Robinson (hamstring) set to miss at least another three games, Herbert will likely continue to serve as the team's backup running back behind Bijan Robinson.

Hull failed to haul in his lone target during the Cardinals' 17-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Ten of Hull's 12 snaps came on special teams, and he wasn't bale to connect with Gardner Minshew on the latter's pass attempt early in the third quarter. Hull has yet to log a carry through three regular-season appearances with the Cardinals. However, he could operate as the team's RB2 behind Tyler Allgeier for Week 10 against the Rams if Bam Knight doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol for that contest.

Vaki turned three carries into 14 yards and hauled in both of his targets for seven yards during the Lions'

Vaki entered Week 9 on the heels of an 11-carry performance against the Vikings in Week 8, but the third-year running back saw his offensive touches slashed in half Sunday while operating as the Lions' RB2 behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Through eight regular-season games, Vaki has turned 30 carries into 135 yards and added seven catches on eight targets for 64 yards. He'll continue to operate as a complementary piece while Isiah Pacheco (back) is on injured reserve, with the latter not expected to return until late December. The Lions will travel to Munich for Week 10 against the Patriots on Nov. 15.

New Orleans released Hunter from its practice squad Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Hunter signed with the Saints' practice squad less than a month ago, but he's now on his way back to free agency. He suited up for five games with the Rams last season after they selected him in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but all 22 of his total snaps came on special teams.

Johnson recorded two tackles on special teams during the Bears' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) was inactive for a fifth consecutive game, with Johnson operating as the Bears' RB2 behind D'Andre Swift in the Bears' four contests prior to Sunday against the Bucs. However, Johnson didn't play a single offensive snap against Tampa Bay; instead, it was Salvon Ahmed (five carries for 25 yards) who mixed into the backfield as Chicago's complementary piece to Swift. The Bears are on a bye for Week 10, with their next game taking place in Week 11 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 22. Johnson would have a narrow path to offensive relevancy if Monangai is cleared to return for that contest.

Arizona released Jefferson from its practice squad Tuesday.

Less than a week after signing Jefferson to their practice squad, the Cardinals are now parting ways with him. He'll now become a free agent and have to start looking for another opportunity with a new club.

Larison recorded a four-yard rush and failed to haul in his lone target during the Patriots' 45-27 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also recorded two tackles (one solo) on special teams.

Both of Larison's tackles came while on kickoff coverage, and his lone touch on offense took place early in the fourth quarter. It was Larison has seen little activity in the Patriots' offense over the team's last two games, but that could change given that Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to be out for "the next few weeks" due to a knee injury he sustained Sudnay, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. TreVeyon Henderson (illness) doesn't have a clear timeline of return, so Larison and Corey Kiner are currently slated to be the Patriots' top backfield options for Week 10 against the Lions in Detroit.
