Vaughn was active but didn't log any snaps from scrimmage or on special teams during the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

Vaughn was essentially a healthy scratch for the third time in as many games to open the season, despite being in uniform for his first 2023 contest. Game script went firmly against the ground attack as the night progressed Monday night, however, with even No. 2 back Sean Tucker garnering just two carries and four snaps. Vaughn should have another opportunity to fill the No. 3 running back role in a Week 4 road matchup against the Saints, considering Chase Edmonds (knee) is on injured reserve for at least three more contests.

Tucker rushed twice for one yard and wasn't targeted in the passing game during the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

Tucker saw only four snaps in a game where the script progressively turned away from the ground attack. The rookie running back is likely to continue in a minor role during any game where Rachaad White is available and Tampa Bay is trailing in the second half, although Chase Edmonds' (knee) absence for at least three more games could open up more snaps for Tucker in scenarios where the Buccaneers have a lead or are managing a modest deficit.

Ingram turned five carries into 13 yards and gathered in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 29-16 victory versus the Cowboys.

Ingram earned his highest snap share (15 percent) in a game this season and also had his most-productive performance. Still, 21 yards from scrimmage isn't much to write home about, especially with James Conner dominating the Cardinals backfield through three contests to the tune of 74.3 percent of offensive plays and 58 touches for 292 total yards and two TDs. Ingram likely is locked into his current role without some sort of absence from Conner.

San Francisco signed McNichols to its practice squad Tuesday.

In a corresponding move, tight end Troy Fumagalli was cut from the practice squad. McNichols last saw the field in 2021, and he's not likely to get brought up to the active roster any time soon.

Penny was active for Monday's 25-11 win over the Buccaneers but didn't take the field for a single snap.

Preseason speculation suggested that Penny and D'Andre Swift would compete for the top running back job in Philadelphia this season, but results through three weeks indicate that the Eagles had different plans. Penny was a healthy scratch in Week 1, and while injuries to other backs elevated him to the active roster in Weeks 2 and 3, he hasn't been a meaningful part of the game plan. His eight snaps and three touches in Week 2 remain his only action of the regular season. Penny may require two injuries ahead of him before he has fantasy relevance, even in deep leagues.

Gaskin was let go by the Vikings on Tuesday.

Gaskin was previously let go by Minnesota on Sept. 8, but he returned to the team the following day, signing with its practice squad. The Washington product ultimately joined the 53-man roster Sept. 12, but he only appeared in the Week 2 game against the Eagles on special teams. It's unclear if a similar procedural move will be done here again for Gaskin, or if his time with the team is truly over for now.

Jones (hamstring) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After not holding practice Monday, the Packers resumed on-field work Tuesday with a walkthrough, for which Jones had a cap on his reps. He has been listed as limited on four consecutive injury reports as he closes in completing his recovery from a left hamstring pull that he suffered Week 1 at Chicago, and he seems to be trending in a positive direction for Thursday's game against the Lions. Jones should reclaim his standing as the lead back for Green Bay from AJ Dillon once he's ready to return.

Tennessee placed Chestnut (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

After sustaining a hamstring injury during Sunday's 27-3 loss at Cleveland, Chestnut will now have to sit out at least Tennessee's next four games as he recovers. He's the second Titans running back to go to injured reserve in as many weeks, so it would make sense for the team to sign another back in the coming days.

Cleveland signed Jackson to its practice squad Tuesday.

A few days after being cut loose by Indianapolis, Jackson has now found another opportunity with a different team. As long as Jerome Ford, Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong remain healthy though, it's unlikely Jackson will see any game action anytime soon.

Montgomery (thigh) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.

After hurting his thigh in Week 2 versus the Seahawks, Montgomery was unable to practice at all prior to being inactive this past Sunday against the Falcons. This week, he's been estimated as a limited participant on both of the Lions' initial injury reports, but coach Dan Campbell relayed Tuesday that he's "starting to feel pretty good about" Montgomery suiting up Thursday at Green Bay.
