Jennings rushed 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

Jennings scored his first NFL touchdown on a three-yard run in the second quarter. The second-year pro out of Florida A&M played an expanded role in the absence of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), though TreVeyon Henderson led New England's backfield with 87 yards on 18 touches. Jennings' catch was also the first of his career, suggesting his involvement will likely come primarily on the ground, but he could continue to factor in against the stout Buccaneers run defense in Week 10 if Stevenson remains sidelined.

Henderson rushed 14 times for 55 yards and caught four of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

Henderson set a new career high in carries as the Patriots played without Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), and the rookie second-round pick's 55 rushing yards marked the second-highest total of Henderson's career behind his 75 against the Browns in Week 8. Terrell Jennings played a complementary role alongside Henderson, rushing 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown. Henderson's production has been trending up, but he'll remain part of a platoon in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, whether he's splitting carries with Stevenson or Jennings.

Jones, who exited Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions, suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

According to Pelissero, the belief is that the running back's injury issue is minor, and Jones thinks he'll be able to play next weekend against the Ravens. With that in mind, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune relays that coach Kevin O'Connell noted that Jones' shoulder will be evaluated further, while adding that the team is "hoping to get some good news" on that front. In the event that Jones is forced to miss time, however, fellow RB Jordan Mason would be in line to see added touches, as he did when Jones was on IR with a hamstring injury.

Jacobs carried the ball 17 times for 87 yards and a touchdown and caught four of five targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

The former Raider continues to thrive as a Packer. Jacobs' one-yard TD run in the fourth quarter tied the contest at 13-13 and extended his personal scoring streak to five games, a stretch in which he's amassed 354 rushing yards and eight TDs. Sunday's loss also marked his third game this season with 100-plus scrimmage yards. Jacobs will likely be leaned on heavily once again in a Week 10 battle against the Eagles, especially with the Packers having seen Tucker Kraft (knee) and Matthew Golden (shoulder) go down to injuries against the Panthers.

Mason rushed 10 times for 36 yards and brought in his only target for one yard in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Mason opened the game splitting work as customary with Aaron Jones, but the latter's exit early in the third quarter due to a shoulder injury afforded more opportunity for the former. Mason still found running room mostly at a premium against a talented Lions run defense, and while Jones' inability to return to the game would seemingly portend a potentially serious injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports the veteran back has an AC joint sprain and believes he'll be available for a Week 10 home matchup against the Ravens.

Hubbard carried the ball five times for 17 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

As expected, Rico Dowdle took over as the No. 1 back for Carolina rather than working in a timeshare with Hubbard, and he turned 25 totes into 130 rushing yards and two TDs. It's the first time Hubbard has failed to get double-digit carries in a game when healthy since Week 1 of 2024, but it likely won't be the last as Dowdle continues to build job security in the starting role. Hubbard's best chance of making an impact in Week 10 might be if the Panthers can build a big lead at home against the Saints, offering the potential for some garbage-time touches.

Tracy rushed five times for 18 yards and caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers.

Tracy ceded the slight majority of work to Devin Singletary, who turned 10 touches into 51 scrimmage yards. Tracy worked ahead of Singletary for most of the former's rookie season in 2024, but the Giants may employ a more even split in 2025 following Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle injury. The workload distribution between Tracy and Singletary will remain worth monitoring in Week 10 against the Bears.

Dowdle carried the ball 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

The 27-year-old celebrated being anointed as the Panthers' clear No. 1 RB by delivering another massive performance, capped by a five-yard score in the second quarter and a one-yard plunge across the goal line in the third. Dowdle has amassed 652 rushing yards and three TDs over the last five games, while adding a 10-112-1 line on 14 targets through the air, and he figures to see a heavy workload again in Week 10 against the Saints.

McCaffrey rushed 28 times for 106 yards and a touchdown while catching five of six targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.

McCaffrey got wide open for a five-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and powered in a three-yard touchdown run in the fourth. The star running back has produced multi-touchdown performances in two of his last three games, sandwiched around McCaffrey's worst outing of the season (68 scrimmage yards against Houston in Week 8). He has at least 107 scrimmage yards in all but one appearance this season. Backup Brian Robinson rushed for 53 yards on his five carries, including an 18-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but McCaffrey continues to operate in a workhorse role, averaging 25.4 touches per game heading into a Week 10 home game against the Rams.

Perine (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

With the Bengals on bye next week, Perine's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 16 against the Steelers. In his absence Sunday, Tahj Brooks is next in line for backfield work behind starter Chase Brown. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Gary Brightwell and Kendall Milton are currently members of Cincinnati's practice squad.
