Barkley (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Though the Eagles didn't hold a traditional practice session, Barkley was upgraded in terms of activity after he was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's report. According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Barkley reiterated Tuesday that he intends to play Thursday against the Giants, despite dealing with general soreness in his knee. However, given the quick turnaround for the Week 6 contest following Sunday's loss to the Broncos, Barkley could have his workload managed a little more than he normally might.

The Buccaneers signed Wright to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wright was unable to make the Buccaneers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he has been invited back by Tampa Bay to be part of the practice squad. He could be elevated to the active roster for the Buccaneers' Week 6 clash against the 49ers on Sunday to give the team additional depth at running back if Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) is not cleared to play.

Perine carried four times for 27 yards and gained two yards on two receptions in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

More importantly, Perine played 29 offensive snaps, good for 47 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. With top running back Chase Brown off to a slow start to the season, Perine might continue to cut into his snap share, especially when the Bengals are playing from behind.

Tuten rushed four times for six yards and caught one pass for five yards in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.

Tuten was limited during the practice week due to a shoulder injury, but he played his normal role, handling a handful of touches on 21 percent of the offensive snaps. With Travis Etienne healthy and handling the vast majority of the backfield opportunities in Jacksonville, Tuten is merely a bench stash in fantasy.

Bigsby was limited to special teams duties Sunday against the Broncos, returning a pair of kicks for 44 yards.

Bigsby hasn't played a single offensive snap since being acquired by the Eagles after Week 1. He's the fourth running back on the Eagles' depth chart, so even an injury to Saquon Barkley likely wouldn't be enough for him to move into a meaningful role.

The Saints waived Jones on Tuesday.

Jones appeared in all five of the Saints' contests to begin the season, returning eight kickoffs for 183 yards while picking up three tackles (one solo) on special teams. He played two offensive snaps but didn't touch the ball on either.

Dillon carried the ball twice for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Dillon has seen between five and 10 offensive snaps in all five games this season, never touching the ball more than three times. He's been efficient in that very small sample, averaging 5.3 yards on 11 total carries, but he would need an injury to Saquon Barkley to find his way to fantasy relevance.

Shipley rushed once for zero yards and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Shipley saw the field for eight offensive snaps compared to nine for fellow backup running back AJ Dillon, with both backs touching the ball twice. That represents Shipley's highest offensive snap count of the year, leaving him far away from fantasy relevance.

The Chargers signed Hines to the practice squad Tuesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Hines spent training camp and the preseason with the Chargers, so he's a familiar face to help Los Angeles navigate the next month-plus without Omarion Hampton (ankle) out of the backfield. Hines will be a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 6 against the Dolphins.

The Patriots signed Corbin to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

With Antonio Gibson done for the season after tearing his ACL in Sunday night's Week 5 win over the Bills, Corbin will provide depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Along with Corbin, the Patriots also employ Terrell Jennings on the practice squad.
