Wright reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Wright was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 30-19 win over the 49ers on Sunday, playing just one offensive snap in the contest. With Bucky Irving (shoulder) expected to remain sidelined in Week 7, Wright could be added to the active roster again to serve as a depth option at running back behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker versus Detroit.

Jennings was moved to New England's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jennings was elevated to the Patriots' active roster for this past Sunday's game against New Orleans and logged seven snaps, all of which came on special teams. With Antonio Gibson (knee) on IR, Jennings could get elevated again in Week 7, though the Patriots elected to give just two running backs (TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson) carries against the Saints.

Hines reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Hines was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 29-27 win over the Dolphins, playing just one offensive snap in the contest. Additionally, the running back compiled 97 yards on three kickoff returns, playing five snaps with the special-teams unit. With Omarion Hampton (ankle) on injured reserve, Hines will likely be elevated again prior to the team's Week 7 matchup with the Colts.

Adbullah reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Adullah was elevated for the second straight week for this past Sunday's win over Arizona and logged three snaps on offense, rushing once for seven yards and catching his lone target for nine yards. He also played 10 snaps on special teams. Though Abdullah is back on the Colts' practice squad for now, he could be elevated again in Week 7 versus the Chargers if Tyler Goodson (groin) remains sidelined.

Rodriguez (calf) is active for Monday's game against the Bears.

Despite not practicing in any capacity due to a calf injury in advance of this contest, Rodriguez will be available to the Commanders offense, but in what role remains to be seen. Washington didn't elevate a running back from the practice squad Monday, instead opting to bring up two wide receivers to support a banged-up group, so Rodriguez seemingly has a good chance to mix into the backfield behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt along with Jeremy McNichols. In three prior outings with that trio available, Rodriguez racked up 23 carries for 105 yards and no touchdowns.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against Buffalo.

Once again, the Falcons will go with just two running backs on the gameday roster, as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier will handle all backfield duties.

Homer (calf) was downgraded to out for Monday night's game against the Commanders.

Homer's season debut will have to wait at least another week, as his next chance to suit up will be Sunday against the Saints. Homer will likely contribute mainly on special teams when he does return to action.

Blue gained zero yards on three carries in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.

The rookie running back saw only five snaps (nine percent) on offense as Javonte Williams continues to dominate the workload in the Dallas backfield. Blue did gain 40 yards on two kickoff returns, but even that role will disappear once KaVontae Turpin (foot) gets healthy. Blue's only fantasy value right now is as insurance against a Williams injury.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Irving (shoulder) is "not in play" to retake the field versus Detroit in Week 7 during Monday Night Football on Oct. 20, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bowles said both Irving and Chris Godwin (fibula) are near guarantees to miss another week, per Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay Sports, while rookie sensation Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday and looks uncertain for Week 7. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Mike Evans (hamstring) could return to practice this week, but in any case the Buccaneers offense will be down a number of key playmakers next Monday. Until Irving is able to retake the field, Rachaad White will continue to operate as Tampa Bay's top backfield option while Sean Tucker handles No. 2 duties.

Robinson did not record a carry and caught all three of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

It was an odd usage game for Robinson after he did not receive a carry for the first time in six appearances this year. Equally abnormal, the veteran backup's three targets Sunday matched the combined total from his previous five contests. The end result was still unsavory from a fantasy perspective, as Robinson was unable to do much with just five snaps played on offense (seven percent). Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Robinson in games that starter Christian McCaffrey is healthy for. The same can be said for next Sunday's tilt against the Falcons.
