Rodriguez (hand) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Though he's been deemed a limited participant on both of the Jaguars' first two Week 9 practice reports, Rodriguez still looks to be in a better spot on the health front than Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot), who has yet to log any practice activity. If Tuten winds up being sidelined for Thursday's game in Baltimore, Rodriguez would be the favorite to lead the Jacksonville ground attack, provided he's not inhibited by his own hand injury.

The Jaguars listed Tuten (ankle/foot) as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

For the second day in a row, Tuten went down as a non-participant on Jacksonville's Week 9 injury report while he nurses a pair of lower-body injuries coming out of this past Sunday's win over the Colts. If Tuten can get back on the field in some capacity Wednesday, it would put him in a good spot to play Thursday against the Ravens. However, if Tuten fails to practice and is ultimately ruled out for Thursday, Chris Rodriguez (hand) -- who has been a limited practice participant so far this week -- would be the top candidate to lead Jacksonville's ground attack in Baltimore.

The Commanders placed McNichols (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.

McNichols' move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least the Commanders' next four games, but Tashan Reed of The Washington Post relays that the running back isn't expected to play again this season after sustaining what head coach Dan Quinn labeled as a "serious mid-foot injury" during Sunday's win over the Eagles. The 30-year-old is still seeking further medical opinions, so a formal timeline for McNichols' recovery hasn't yet been established. In response to McNichols' injury, Washington claimed Robert Henry off waivers from Seattle on Tuesday to bolster their depth at running back behind Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler.

Arizona placed Love (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Love's move to IR was fully expected, after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Tuesday that the rookie first-round pick was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain and was facing a projected recovery timeline of 4-to-5 weeks. While Love is on the mend, Tyler Allgeier is expected to step into a lead role out of the Arizona backfield beginning with the team's Week 9 game against Seattle.

Brooks (core) was seen working off to the side during the Panthers' unofficial practice Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

The Panthers haven't yet opened Brooks' 21-day practice window, but that might happen soon after head coach Dave Canales said Monday that the young running back would "potentially" be designated for return from injured reserve this week. Brooks hasn't played since Week 2 after undergoing core-muscle surgery, so he'll likely need to turn in multiple full practices before the Panthers are comfortable clearing him for game action. Once he's activated from IR, Brooks will likely handle a supporting role out of the backfield behind starter Chubba Hubbard.

Love was diagnosed Tuesday with a right high-ankle sprain, which is expected to send him to injured reserve and keep him out for 4-to-5 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

A left ankle issue had sidelined Love for the Cardinals' previous two games, but he ended up exiting Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys late in the first quarter after tweaking his opposite ankle. Though the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft was cleared to play in advance of Week 1 after previously sustaining a right high-ankle sprain in the preseason, he won't be as fortunate this time around after injuring that ankle for the second time in less than three months. The projected 4-to-5-week recovery timeline will give Love a chance at returning to action when first eligible to play Dec. 6 against the Eagles, but at least for the next four games, Tyler Allgeier looks poised to serve as Arizona's lead back. The Cardinals could also look to bring James Conner (foot) back from IR at some point during that four-game stretch.

Tuten (ankle/foot) was not spotted during the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com.

Tuten was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report on a day the Jaguars did not practice, and although the Jaguars will return to the field Tuesday, it appears Tuten will not due to the lower-leg injuries. Tuten will not have much time to get any work in this week with the Jaguars facing the Ravens on Thursday, and if he is unable to go the door will be opened for Chris Rodriguez (hand), LeQuint Allen and Ameer Abdullah.

Johnson carried five times for 17 yards and added an 11-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 34-17 win over the Seahawks.

With Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb) inactive for a fourth straight game, Johnson continued to serve as the No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift. Unsurprisingly, Swift (27 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns) handled the brunt of the work out of the backfield, with Johnson taking the field for just 14 of the team's 70 offensive snaps. If Monangai is able to make it back for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Johnson's playing time on offense could disappear entirely.

Holani carried once for nine yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears. He also returned six kickoffs for 144 yards.

With the Seahawks clearing Zach Charbonnet (knee) to make his season debut and with Jadarian Price (chest) coming off injured reserve, Holani predictably saw his playing time out of the backfield take a hit. He was on the field for just 11 of the Seahawks' 63 offensive snaps, with his season-low 17 percent snap share placing him comfortably behind Price (48 percent) and Charbonnet (37 percent) but ahead of Emanuel Wilson (zero snaps). For the first time all season, Holani was called upon to serve as the Seahawks' primary kickoff returner, as Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Velus Jones (hamstring) were inactive Monday.

Wilson played just seven snaps -- all on special teams -- in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears.

After logging double-digit carries in six of the Seahawks' previous seven games while scoring four touchdowns and averaging 66.4 scrimmage yards during that span, Wilson fell out of the game plan entirely in Week 8. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) getting cleared to make his 2026 debut, Jadarian Price (chest) returning from injured reserve and George Holani still on hand as an option on passing downs, the Seahawks had no reps available out of the backfield for Wilson. Unless Charbonnet or Price succumbs to another injury, Wilson's playing time on offense will likely remain scarce moving forward.
