The Seahawks signed Jones to their practice squad Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

The 2022 third-round pick from Tennessee was dropped from the Saints' active roster on Oct. 24, but he's already found a new home in Seattle. Jones appeared in five games for the Saints this season, recording 183 kick-return yards across 76 total snaps (74 on special teams, two on offense). Now with the Seahawks, he could be elevated to the active roster at some point this season as a return man.

Jordan was cut from the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.

The 2024 sixth-round pick from Louisville landed with the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, the team has now decided to move in another direction. Jordan has yet to make his NFL debut after posting 1,374 total yards and 14 touchdowns on 202 touches during his final collegiate season in 2023.

Davis (illness) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Davis appears to have come down with an illness that's holding him out of Wednesday's practice. His participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs. If the second-year pro is inactive, expect Ty Johnson to handle all of Buffalo's reserve running back duties.

Guerendo played all 10 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Texans.

As a rookie last season, Guerendo showcased some explosiveness out of the San Francisco backfield with averages of 5.0 yards per carry and 10.1 yards per reception over 16 games, but he has yet to play a snap on offense in the 49ers' first eight games of 2025. With lead back Christian McCaffrey having thus far stayed healthy while handling huge snap and touch counts each week, Brian Robinson has picked up the remaining scraps left over in the backfield. So long as McCaffrey and Robinson are able to avoid injury, Guerendo looks as though he'll be limited to a role on kickoff returns and kick-coverage units.

Ali returned three kickoffs for 88 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.

Ali has been active for all seven of the Ravens' games this season, but he continues to be deployed almost exclusively on special teams. The reserve running back has logged just five offensive snaps all season and hasn't had a touch since carrying once for five yards in Baltimore's Week 1 loss to Buffalo.

Williams rushed four times for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-3 win over the Saints on Sunday.

The undrafted rookie logged a career-high six snaps on offense behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, and he recorded the first four carries of his career in the process. The fact the Saints never threatened and the Buccaneers were in firm control of the game throughout the second half facilitated Williams' opportunity, but if Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) is able to finally get healthy over Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye, Williams could be relegated to just special-teams duty or inactive status in a Week 10 home matchup against the Patriots.

Carter rushed twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Carter played just two of the Falcons' 50 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Atlanta's No. 3 running back behind both Bijan Robinson (30) and Tyler Allgeier (20). In three appearances this season, the rookie running back has played a total of 10 offensive snaps and recorded just nine carries for 60 yards. Barring an injury to Robinson or Allgeier, Carter remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Allgeier rushed four times for four yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Allgeier played 40 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. The fourth-year running back's touchdown came late in the fourth quarter and was the only trip to the end zone in the contest. In what turned out to be a surprising blowout against the Dolphins, the Falcons' offense was unable to get much going against a vulnerable Miami defense. Operating as the clear backup to Bijan Robinson, Allgeier remains one of the top insurance policies in fantasy in the event that Robinson misses time due to injury. With that said, the 25-year-old backup does hold a bit of standalone value due to having a nose for the end zone in 2025. Allgeier has recorded four touchdowns so far this season, already matching a career high set in 2023 across 17 games. Next up for the Falcons is a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

The Patriots placed Corbin (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

The nature and severity of Corbin's injury aren't clear, but his placement on the practice squad IL means he is ineligible to be elevated to the Patriots' active roster for at least the next four games. Fellow running backs Rushawn Baker and Jonathan Ward were signed to New England's practice squad in corresponding moves.

The Patriots signed Ward to the practice squad Tuesday.

Ward was unable to make the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but will get a new opportunity with the Patriots as a member of the practice squad. Terrell Jennings has been elevated by the Patriots to the active roster three times, which is the maximum amount a team can do. As such, Ward and Rushawn Baker would be candidates for a game-day elevation if the Patriots require added backfield depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.
