Scott had five carries for 18 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.

Scott played on 14 of the offense's 65 snaps and was the clear No. 2 running back ahead of Cam Akers (one snap on offense). Scott's fumble could put his No. 2 running back role at risk, but it doesn't appear Akers is a significant threat. However, Scott may have just one more game as the backup if Aaron Jones (hamstring) is able to return from injured reserve Week 8.

Gibson suffered a torn ACL in Sunday night's win over the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It didn't look good after Gibson was in tears as he was helped off the field in the first half. He'll now miss the remainder of the 2025 season and finished his campaign with 25 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown. Gibson also caught two passes for six yards on three targets. With Gibson on the shelf, the Patriots figure to ride the tandem of Rhamondre Stevenson and dynamic rookie TreVeyon Henderson the rest of the way. Terrell Jennings currently is on the practice squad and will be an option to join the 53-man roster.

Akers threw a 32-yard touchdown pass on his only snap on offense while being used as a wildcat quarterback in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.

Akers threw a perfect pass to Josh Oliver on a trick play. Akers was a successful high school quarterback and threw several halfback passes in college. Aside from the trick play, Akers had little role on offense, as he served as the team's No. 3 running back for the third straight week behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott, with Aaron Jones (hamstring) still on injured reserve.

Gordon rushed three times for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers.

The rookie from Oklahoma State played 14 offensive snaps and served as Miami's top reserve running back again in the Week 5 loss. Gordon has now rushed 21 times for 58 yards and a touchdown this season while catching two of three targets for an additional four yards. He's expected to continue playing a reserve role on the Dolphins' offense in a Week 6 matchup against the Chargers.

Singletary rushed six times for 20 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in a Week 5 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

For the second straight week, Singletary worked as New York's No. 2 RB behind Cam Skattebo. That role didn't yield much production for the veteran ball carrier, however, as he totaled a modest 24 yards on seven touches. Singletary's six carries and 20 rushing yards were actually third on the Giants -- Skattebo ran 15 times for 59 yards, while QB Jaxson Dart rushed seven times for 55 yards -- though no other tailback on the team took an offensive snap. Singletary's time as Skattebo's backup may be coming to an end, as Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) was able to practice last Friday in a limited fashion before ultimately being deemed inactive. With that said, New York has a short turnaround with a Thursday matchup against Philadelphia on tap, so Singletary could get one more chance to log a handful of carries Week 6.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Nwangwu (hamstring) will travel with the Jets to London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Nwangwu has been sidelined for four consecutive games since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Steelers. However, he'll travel with the team to London ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos, which is a good sign for his potential availability. The 27-year-old's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can return for Sunday's contest.

Abdullah had two carries for six yards, including a two-yard rushing touchdown, in Sunday's 40-6 win over Las Vegas.

Abdullah was just called up from the practice squad ahead of the game. He only got carries late in the game amid a blowout win. DJ Giddens remains the clear backup to Jonathan Taylor while Tyler Goodson (groin) is sidelined. Abdullah will likely see most of his usage on special teams whenever he's active.

Giddens had five carries for 22 yards and no receptions with a drop on his one target in Sunday's win over Las Vegas.

Giddens played on nine of the offense's 66 snaps. He was used in the second quarter before the game became a blowout, which was encouraging as the Colts had gone several games without giving starter Jonathan Taylor any rest in a close game. However, Giddens dropped a catchable ball on the offense's second series. Ameer Abdullah did score a rushing touchdown late in the game, but he's a clear third or fourth option in the backfield as he got time in a blowout win.

Johnson rushed twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

Johnson played 12 offensive snaps and operated as Buffalo's top reserve running back for the third consecutive game in Week 5. He's now tallied 10 carries for 53 yards and one catch for eight yards across 73 offensive snaps this season. The Maryland product is expected to operate in a similar role in the Week 6 matchup against the Falcons, contributing both on offense and special teams.

Davis rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

The second-year pro from Kentucky has now rushed 13 times for 30 yards over the Bills' first five games this season, playing 38 offensive snaps. In Sunday night's loss, Ty Johnson logged more offensive snaps than Davis (12 to six) for the third consecutive game, suggesting that he's taken over as Buffalo's No. 2 running back. Davis is likely to play a limited role in the Bills' offense again in the Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.
