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.

The Ravens signed Scott to their practice squad Tuesday.

Scott spent training camp with the Ravens but didn't make the 53-man roster. He signed with the team's practice squad Oct. 7 but was cut less a month later. Scott is now getting another look on the club's practice squad. He's yet to make his NFL debut.

Strong rushed eight times for 22 yards in Sunday's 45-27 win over the Patriots. He added two catches for 11 yards on two targets.

With Josh Jacobs (finger) knocked out of the game in the first quarter and set to miss several weeks, Strong figures to see his role expand in Green Bay's backfield, though MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and even Chris Brooks (ankle) are likely to also see snaps in the coming weeks. Strong is not a recommended fantasy target in 12-team leagues.

Vidal rushed seven times for 30 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans. He added one catch for six yards on three targets.

The Chargers continue to use a three-man backfield, an unfriendly fantasy situation and one to avoid when making lineup decisions each week. Vidal has been productive when he does get touches, rushing 36 times for 162 yards (4.5 YPC) and one touchdown across eight games. He's also caught 10 passes for 56 yards and an additional score.

Head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that the Saints haven't yet determined whether Etienne (hamstring) will return from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. "We'll see," Moore said. "He's progressing well. We'll gather some more information and make a decision."

Moore noted that the Saints are still in the process of "using the time allotted" to let Etienne workout with the training staff before designating him for return from injured reserve and opening his 21-day practice window. Though the 27-year-old back hasn't played since the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Raiders, he's still just 34 yards behind quarterback Tyler Shough for the team lead in rushing yardage (162). Whether he's activated for Week 10 or at some point thereafter, Etienne's eventual return will provide a boost to a New Orleans running game that has struggled mightily through the midway point of the season.
