Detroit placed Reynolds (ribs) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Reynolds was forced out of Sunday's win over Green Bay due to the rib injury and will now be required to miss at least the Lions' next four games with his move to IR. His absence should open up even more opportunities for Justin Jackson as the Lions' No. 3 back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin suggested Tuesday that Warren might get a look in a feature-back role at some point in 2022, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. "He's a quality back who has made some plays," Tomlin said of Warren. "We'll keep giving him an opportunity to do so, and maybe he'll write that script."

Meanwhile, top back Najee Harris, who suffered a foot injury during training camp, has managed to play in all eight of the Steelers' games thus far while averaging 3.3 yards on 108 carries. For his part, Warren has averaged 5.3 yards on his 29 rushing opportunities to date, and while Tomlin's comments don't necessarily foreshadow the undrafted rookie supplanting Harris as Pittsburgh's lead back following the team's bye week, it wouldn't be a surprise if Warren earned more touches in the coming weeks. Warren most recently turned in a six-carry, 50-yard effort to go along with three catches for 25 yards in the Steelers' 35-13 loss to the Eagles in Week 8.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that Elliott (knee) will return to practice Wednesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Elliott wasn't on the field for the Cowboys' unofficial practice session Monday, but he'll resume handling on-field reps Wednesday as Dallas kicks off Week 10 prep in earnest. Though Elliott has been sidelined since Week 8 due to an MCL sprain, the Cowboys have offered optimism that Elliott could be available Sunday versus Green Bay following a bye week. If Elliott remains hampered in any significant capacity by the time the weekend arrives, it could lead to increased opportunities for Tony Pollard.

Washington logged three rushes for seven yards and reeled in his only target for seven yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat against Baltimore.

The 28-year-old served as the Saints' de facto No. 2 running back with Mark Ingram out due to a sprained MCL. However, 23 of Washington's 28 snaps still came on special teams. With New Orleans' offense stymied for much of the game, starting running back Alvin Kamara handled nine of the team's 15 rushing attempts against Baltimore, while Taysom Hill and Andy Dalton split the other three. Washington should continue to play a minor role even if the Saints find more success on the ground versus Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Vaughn rushed twice for four yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 16-13 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Logging his first three offensive snaps of the season, Vaughn recorded his first carries since the wild-card win over the Eagles in January. Vaughn has remained a fixture on special teams since Week 3, and he projects to continue filling the smallest of roles on offense as long as Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White are healthy in front of him.

Funk was cut from the Saints' practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Funk signed with New Orleans' practice squad Oct. 12, just one day after being cut loose by the Rams. However, it appears his time in New Orleans will be short, as he was originally brought in when Alvin Kamara was dealing with a rib injury. Funk will now work to a find an opportunity elsewhere.

The Seahawks signed Igwebuike to their practice squad Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Seattle cut Igwebuike from its practice squad just two weeks ago, but he gets another chance to make an impression on Seahawks coaches. Barring some injuries on the active roster, though, it's unlikely the 28-year-old halfback will be elevated any time soon.

Cook took four carries for 15 yards and gathered in two of four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss at the Jets.

Despite the addition of Nyheim Hines from the Colts prior to last week's trade deadline, Cook remained the No. 2 running back in terms of usage Week 9, at least for one game. Devin Singletary paced the Bills backfield with 12 touches on a 74 percent snap share, Cook had six touches while playing 23 percent of the plays, and Hines didn't have a rush and couldn't haul in his only target on four offensive snaps. The script may flip as Hines grows more accustomed to the playbook, but for the time being Cook may have retained some utility in what typically is a high-powered offense.

Perine had six carries for 51 yards and one catch for three more yards in Sunday's romp over Carolina.

Perine was able to play 25 offensive snaps, with Joe Mixon resting after scoring a whopping five times. The Bengals rested most of their offensive starters with a little under 4:00 remaining in the third quarter.

Coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that the Ravens "plan" for Edwards (hamstring) to be available Week 11 against the Panthers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Baltimore currently is on bye, so Edwards seemingly will use the respite to put himself in a position to play for the first time since Week 8, when he sustained a minor right hamstring issue. He was held out Monday at New Orleans, which allowed Kenyan Drake to lead the backfield to the tune of 24 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns and two catches (on two targets) for 16 yards. Edwards' listing on Ravens injury reports next week will be telling for his chances to join Drake as available to the team's ground-based attack.
