Ogunbowale brought in all three of his targets for 23 yards in the Buccaneers' 32-31 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

The pass-catching back filled his usual role, working only as an outlet option and failing to log a carry for the third time in as many games to open the campaign. Ogunbowale ultimately played 19 snaps from scrimmage (along with 23 on special teams), a slight bump from his Week 2 workload of 16 but still notably behind the season-high 27 offensive plays he participated in during Week 1 against the 49ers.

Zenner was one of three running backs to try out for the Giants on Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

Joining Zenner on Tuesday were Benny Cunningham and Fozzy Whittaker. If any of them ultimately receives a contract offer, he could be worth keeping an eye on given Saquon Barkley's (ankle) expected 4-to-8 week absence. New York currently has Wayne Gallman and fullback Elijhaa Penny as the only other options in the backfield.

Williams (neck) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

For the second straight day, the Packers didn't hold a formal practice session in advance of Thursday's game against the Eagles, but Williams' estimated listing Tuesday indicates he's trending in the right direction for the Week 4 matchup. Williams handled an elevated snap share in the Week 3 win over the Broncos while top back Aaron Jones managed a shoulder injury, but the latter is also on track to be available against Philadelphia after he too was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's report.

Ellis was released from the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday.

Ellis signed with Cincinnati as an undrafted free agent this spring and the Virginia product ultimately spent the first three weeks of the season on the practice squad. He's now being let go from the practice squad in favor of cornerback Greg Mabin.

The Packers listed Jones (shoulder) as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Due to the quick turnaround for Thursday's game against the Eagles, the Packers aren't expected to hold an actual practice session until Wednesday. That said, the team's estimate of Jones being a full participant suggests the shoulder issue he's tending to isn't much of a concern heading into the Week 4 matchup. The injury may explain in part why Jones handled a season-low 39 percent snap share in Week 3 against the Broncos, but he still managed to reach the end zone twice in the victory.

Clement (shoulder) was a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Clement was listed as non-participant on Monday's report, so it appears the Wisconsin product is trending in the right direction in advance of Thursday's game against Green Bay.

Brossette was released from the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.

Detroit added Brossette to the practice squad earlier this month after the LSU product had a busy preseason with New England. His release from said practice squad is not good news for his already minimal dynasty value.

Barkley (ankle) received an exam Monday from team consultant Dr. Martin O'Malley and is scheduled to visit foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay on Wednesday for an additional opinion on his injury, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.

Though the news that Barkley is being subject to additional testing is somewhat foreboding, the Giants may just be trying to determine the best treatment plan for the second-year back while he works through a right high-ankle sprain. On the heels of his MRI on Monday, Barkley was given a loose 4-to-8-week timeline to recover from the injury, but there should be more definition on a target date for his return once he meets with Dr. Anderson. Wayne Gallman will be first in line to replace Barkley as the Giants' starting running back Week 4 against Washington, but expect the team to add at least one more depth option at the position to the roster before Sunday arrives.

Anderson is working out for the Texans on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Anderson has been without a team since being released by Detroit on Sept. 17. The 28-year-old took 16 carries for just 42 yards (2.6 YPC) in two games with the Lions this season.

Boone had three carries for 28 yards in Sunday's win over Oakland.

Boone got his first carries of the season amid a blowout win. He played just five snaps on offense. He's not going to get much action off the bench unless Dalvin Cook or Alexander Mattison is hurt. However, he could eventually emerge as the No. 3 RB over Ameer Abdullah.
