The Eagles waived Blue on Tuesday.

Philadelphia is now left with Saquon Barkley as the lone running back on its 53-man roster, but Elijah Mitchell will most likely be signed off the practice squad to replace Blue. After being signed off the practice squad himself in late October, Blue suited up in the Eagles' last two games but played just eight total snaps on offense while recording no rushing attempts and a nine-yard reception. His main contributions came on special teams, where he served as the Eagles' primary kickoff returner and gained 268 yards on 12 runbacks (22.3 average).

The Buccaneers released Kpeenu from the practice squad Tuesday.

Kpeenu spent the past two weeks on Tampa Bay's practice squad but didn't see any playing time during that time. This was the 23-year-old's second stint with the team, as he spent two weeks with the Buccaneers during the preseason.

Skattebo (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Prior to Tuesday's practice, Skattebo told Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post that the hamstring tear he sustained in a Week 7 overtime win over the Texans "wasn't too bad" and wouldn't prevent him from playing Thursday against the Commanders. With Skattebo proceeding to take every rep during Tuesday's session, he's now officially in the clear to step back into a lead role out of the New York backfield in Week 10. As a result of Skattebo's return to the lineup following a one-game absence, Devin Singletary -- who handled a season-high 23 touches in the Week 9 win over the Eagles -- is expected to see his opportunities get scaled back significantly.

The Titans opted not to move Pollard ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, despite him drawing interest from teams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Given his standing as a 29-year-old running back on an expiring deal for a 1-7 team, Pollard looked to be a natural candidate to be dealt at the deadline. The Titans instead opted to keep Pollard around, perhaps with the hope of coming to terms with him on a contract extension before he hits free agency. Though he's taken a step back in the passing game in 2026 with a 14-70-0 receiving line through eight games, Pollard is in the midst of the best of his three seasons in Tennessee as a rusher. He's churned out 595 yards and six touchdowns on 133 carries, which includes 100-plus-yard rushing efforts in both of his last two outings.

The Colts informed Taylor that he won't be traded before Tuesday's deadline, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

In order to move Taylor, Indianapolis was reportedly seeking a blockbuster trade package on par with what Carolina received in exchange for Christian McCaffrey back in 2022, but Pelissero relays that inquiring teams offered no more than a second-round pick as the best asset in any trade pitch. As a result, Taylor -- who is under contract through 2028 -- will stick around in Indianapolis through the remainder of the campaign, though it's possible that the Colts entertain trade offers for the 27-year-old running back again during the offseason.

Skattebo (hamstring) was spotted on the field for the media-access portion of Tuesday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The Giants listed Skattebo as a limited participant Monday on their first Week 10 injury report, but the team merely held a walkthrough session. Tuesday will mark the Giants' most rigorous practice of the week prior to Thursday's game against the Washington, so what Skattebo is able to do should help determine his status for that contest. Skattebo was sidelined for the first time all season in this past Sunday's victory over the Eagles after tweaking his hamstring in overtime of the Giants' Week 7 win over the Texans.

Johnson could serve as the Packers' lead option on the ground in Sunday's game against the Vikings with Josh Jacobs (finger) expected to miss multiple weeks and with the status of MarShawn Lloyd (knee) uncertain, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After being a healthy inactive for the Packers' previous two games, Johnson suited up for Sunday's tilt with the Patriots while Lloyd was inactive. With Jacobs leaving the contest late in the first quarter after fracturing his right ring finger, Johnson was thrust into action and delivered the Packers' best rushing performance of the season, finishing with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in the 45-27 win. Head coach Matt LaFleur relayed Monday that Jacobs will need surgery and could land on injured reserve, and while Lloyd could have a chance at returning to action Week 10, the Packers likely came away encouraged enough by Johnson's showing in Foxborough to give him another turn as their lead option on the ground. Johnson isn't likely to earn much passing-down work, however, as Lloyd, Pierre Strong and Chris Brooks (ankle) -- who could return from IR this week -- are all more capable options in that phase.

The knee injury that Stevenson sustained late in the third quarter of Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers is expected to keep him out for "the next few weeks," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Stevenson won't require surgery, but he looks likely to miss at least the Patriots' Week 10 game against the Lions in Munich due to a plantaris tendon issue on the back of his knee. The Patriots will be on bye Week 11 following the contest in Germany, and that extra time off could be enough for Stevenson to avoid a stint on injured reserve, which would require him to miss a minimum of four games. With the status of TreVeyon Henderson (illness) uncertain heading into the matchup with the Lions, the Patriots could be down to their third and fourth options in the backfield -- Corey Kiner and Lan Larison, respectively -- in Week 10.

Goodson sustained ACL and MCL sprains in his knee during Sunday's 27-23 win over the Colts, a source tells Todd Archer of ESPN.com.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer already confirmed Monday that Goodson would be sidelined for multiple weeks due to the injury, and now that details have emerged regarding the severity of the issue, it's conceivable that the 26-year-old could be headed for injured reserve. The loss of Goodson leaves the Cowboys with no healthy running backs on the active roster beyond starter Javonte Williams, but team owner Jerry jones said that the team plans to sign a free-agent back Tuesday, per Archer. Dallas also has Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin as backfield options on the practice squad.

Tucker didn't log any offensive snaps in a loss to the Bears on Sunday. He returned four kickoffs for 92 yards.

It was the second straight week in which Tucker went without an offensive snap. That's happened despite Tampa Bay going to the ground plenty during that span. Perhaps not coincidentally, Tucker has begun working as a kick returner during the two-game stretch. It appears he's not going to get many opportunities on offense as long as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell are healthy.
