Patterson rushed four times for 14 yards along with having a six-yard reception in Chicago's 31-15 win over Washington on Monday.

Patterson now has nine touches on the season, and he's being used as both a runner and receiver. However, aside from one big run in Week 2, he has a very low weekly scoring floor.

Montgomery rushed 13 times for 67 yards and caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Monday night's 31-15 win over the Redskins.

Montgomery was corralled fairly well prior to breaking off a 25-yard run during the fourth quarter. That carry, which marked the rookie's longest through three games, helped Montgomery post his best yardage total to date. With added value from three receptions as well, it was a decent night for Montgomery, even though the Bears passing for two touchdowns inside the three-yard line robbed him of a couple potential scoring opportunities from in close.

Hill had one carry for one yard Sunday against the Chiefs and did not catch any of his three targets.

The rookie's snap count has dropped each week since the season opener, bottoming out at just 11 on offense Sunday. Hill only had one carry and was unable to do anything with it while the likes of Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards had no problem running on the Chiefs defense, averaging 6.4 and 7.6 YPC, respectively. Edwards' strong day is particularly worrisome for Hill as it now appears that the rookie is clearly the No. 3 back in this offense. Hill and the Ravens will host the Browns in Week 4.

Edmonds totaled three carries for 15 yards and gathered in one of two passes for 10 yards during Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Panthers.

Edmonds' four touches and 25 yards from scrimmage were both season-high marks, but they paled in comparison to David Johnson's 17 and 65, respectively. Their individual shares of the offensive snaps also reinforce the running back pecking order in Arizona: 65 of 75 for Johnson versus just nine for Edmonds. There doesn't seem to be much impetus to get Edmonds more involved, despite the left wrist issue that affected Johnson in Week 2.

Wilkins lost two yards on three carries in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

After Wilkins had five carries for 82 yards in Week 2, he had a limited role while playing just ten snaps on offense. It doesn't look like his Week 2 performance has changed his playing time equation, as he'll get limited opportunity while starter Marlon Mack is healthy with Nyheim Hines seeing a few more snaps in a pass-catching role.

Williams (neck) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Green Bay didn't hold a formal practice Monday, so what Williams does in Tuesday's session will be telling with regard to his status for Thursday's game against the Eagles. The 24-year-old led the team in carries Sunday against Denver en route to 86 scrimmage yards.

Clement (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate.

Clement will need to get on the field in some capacity by Wednesday's practice. However, the fact that he wouldn't have been on the field if the Eagles hosted a Monday session makes it likely Clement misses his second straight game. He serves mainly as a return man anyway, so Miles Sanders will field kicks if Clement sits out.

Jones (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers didn't hold a formal practice Monday, so what Jones does in Tuesday's session will be telling with regard to his status for Thursday's matchup with Philadelphia. The 24-year-old found paydirt twice against the Broncos on Sunday.

Barner is in the concussion protocol Monday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

Barner exited Sunday's loss to the Colts due to a concussion. He'll need to fully clear the league's protocol for head injuries before retaking the field. If Barner were to miss any time, Justin Hardy and Kendall Sheffield would serve as the Falcons' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

Barkley (ankle) is expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks, with the most likely scenario putting him at the longer end of the timeline, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

An MRI on Monday confirmed Barkley suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 32-31 win over the Buccaneers. With his absence expected to stretch through most of October and likely into November, the Giants will move forward with Wayne Gallman as their top running back.
