Penny rushed twice for two yards and lost a fumble in Monday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.

It took until the first drive of the second half for Penny to log an offensive snap, and he almost immediately made the Seahawks' coaching staff regret its decision by fumbling at midfield. The second-year pro didn't see the field after that whiff. Chris Carson also fumbled the football (the Seahawks recovered), but it was clear he had a longer leash than Penny by recording 28 touches. Penny will look to get back into the coaches' good graces in the team's next game Nov. 24 against the Eagles.

Reynolds signed with the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

The Redskins cut Reynolds from their 53-man roster a week ago, and he'll get another shot with the Falcons. Ito Smith (concussion) is out for the year and Devonta Freeman (foot) could be facing a two-game absence, so Reynolds may be promoted to the active roster before Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Snell (knee) didn't take part in Tuesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

On Monday, coach Mike Tomlin relayed his lack of optimism in Snell being able to return Thursday at Cleveland, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. Snell more or less has backed up that sentiment with back-to-back no-shows at practice. Assuming he misses a third consecutive contest, the Steelers nonetheless seem poised to welcome back No. 1 back James Conner (shoulder), so Snell may not have a role when he gets back to full health.

Hill rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 49-13 win over the Bengals.

Hill has struggled to get onto the field behind Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards, so a blowout such as this should've provided an excellent opportunity to increase his workload. However, the rookie fourth-rounder continued to manage a minimal role, as he logged 12 of a possible 47 offensive snaps (26 percent). It'll be tough to rely on Hill for fantasy purposes during Week 11's contest against the Texans, which shapes up to be a much closer matchup.

Conner (shoulder) practiced in full Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. "I'm making a lot of progress and I think I'll be good to go," Conner said. "I can't make any guarantees, but as of right now I am feeling very good and things are very confident for me playing on Thursday (at Cleveland)."

Listed as a full participant on the Steelers' first two Week 11 injury reports, Conner is trending toward his first game action since Week 8. While the team practiced indoors Tuesday, he indicated to Omar Ruiz of NFL Network that the session was more of a walk-through than a true practice. As a result, Conner's status on Wednesday's report will give a better indication of his chances to return Thursday. A healthy Conner should take on lead back duties with Jaylen Samuels serving in a secondary role.

Pollard lost four yards on his only carry in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

The rookie RB saw only three snaps on offense, a somewhat surprising number given how little success Ezekiel Elliott was having. Since his huge performance against Miami in Week 3, Pollard hasn't topped 30 scrimmage yards in a game, and his only fantasy utility at this point is as Elliott's handcuff.

Breida will go for a second opinion on his ankle, but initial reports are that the injury isn't too serious, but he may still need to miss time to let it heal, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

The good news is that it doesn't sound like the type of injury that will force fantasy owners to cut ties with Breida. The bad news is that his prospects for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals look bleak. We will wait for the second medical opinion to come in, but it sounds like Raheem Mostert and/or Jeff Wilson may be teaming up with Tevin Coleman this week if Breida is unable to go.

Breida (ankle) ran 10 times for 18 yards before leaving Monday's loss to Seattle with an ankle injury.

Breida carried a questionable tag for an ankle injury heading into the contest, and it appears that he re-injured that same ankle. The speedy back is sure to undergo an MRI this week to determine the severity of the injury. If Breida is unable to go, Raheem Mostert would enter the two-man rotation in a soft matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Barkley underwent an X-ray on his shoulder after Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Barkley sat out Weeks 4 through 6 due to a high right ankle sprain. In four games in the meantime, he's been bottled up on the ground, posting increasingly worse YPC marks, with the nadir a 13-carry, one-yard performance versus the Jets. Despite the less-than-stellar work as a rusher, he's made his usual contributions through the air, averaging 5.5 catches for 46 yards per game. While his shoulder appears to be what's hindering him at the moment, Barkley will benefit from the Giants' Week 11 bye, with the team next taking the field Nov. 24 at Chicago.

Mostert rushed six times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Monday night's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

Mostert was forced into a larger role after fellow tailback Matt Brieda was removed from the game due to an ankle injury. Although Mostert's overall production wasn't anything special, he was still efficient with his touches, as he usually is. With a season average of nearly 5.5 yards per rush, Mostert could gain value in Week 11 versus the Cardinals if Brieda's status is impacted by injury, as he'd then profile as San Francisco's top alternative to Tevin Coleman in the backfield.
