West is day-to-day with an unspecified soft-tissue injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.

After starting Sunday's 24-10 win over the Browns, West saw just 15 snaps, but now there's an explanation for his reduced Week 2 workload. We'll track his status as this coming Sunday's game against the Jaguars approaches, but if West is limited at all in Week 3, added opportunities await Javorius Allen and Alex Collins.

The NFL's emergency motion seeking a stay of Elliott's preliminary injunction has been denied, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.

The league wanted a fast response and got its wish, albeit without the desired result. The NFL now has to wait for a ruling on its appeal of the injunction in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The process could take a few months, which increases Elliott's chances of playing the entire season. He's set to face a tough Arizona defense in Week 3, coming off the worst performance of his young career in Sunday's 42-17 loss to the Broncos. Elliott did have 140 yards from scrimmage against a tough Giants defense Week 1.

Mack lost three yards on six carries and had one reception for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to Arizona.

Mack played just 11 snaps on offense compared to 28 for Robert Turbin behind Frank Gore in a reversal from Week 1. It's likely the Colts liked using Turbin in pass protection. Mack may have more upside if Gore were to get hurt, but it looks like he'll have a limited role on offense when his Week 1 usage suggested a larger role.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson confirmed that Pumphrey (hamstring) won't return from injured reserve to play this season, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

A 2017 fourth-round pick, Pumphrey built some hype during offseason practices but failed to impress during training camp and the preseason. He was inactive for Week 1 and then tore his hamstring during a Week 2 practice, which conveniently allowed the Eagles to stash him on injured reserve. Even if he's healthy enough to eventually return, Pumphrey likely will be kept on IR for the rest of the season, with eyes toward earning a role in 2018. The Eagles seemingly drafted him as an eventual replacement for 34-year-old Darren Sproles, but the workout metrics and eye test both suggest Pumphrey simply isn't the same caliber of athlete.

McKinnon had three carries for 16 yards and had three receptions for nine yards on five targets in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.

McKInnon got more touches than Latavius Murray behind Dalvin Cook. He also played more snaps (22) than Murray (6). However, both will have a limited backup role behind Cook.

Murray had three carries for six yards in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh. He played just six snaps on offense.

Murray continues to have a limited role in the offense with Dalvin Cook getting nearly all the touches out of the backfield. Even worse for Murray's fantasy value is that fullback C.J. Ham had a one-yard rushing touchdown when Murray was thought to possibly be the goal-line running back.

Jones suited up for his first NFL game Sunday but did not record a snap on offense, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

Jones was in uniform Sunday after being scratched in Week 1 in favor of fellow rookie Devante Mays, but he was used only as insurance, as Ty Montgomery and Jamaal Williams took every running back snap. Jones is listed ahead of Mays on the depth chart, but both players have now suited up once without seeing a snap on offense, so they are essentially side-by-side for the No. 3 running back role as things stand.

Williams had two carries for six yards and one reception for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Williams saw ample touches on his 11 snaps in Sunday's contest, but he was not able to do much with any of them. He will be the next man up if something happens to starter Ty Montgomery, but will continue to play a bit role in the offense otherwise.

Kamara caught three of seven passes for 51 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.

Similar to the game against the Vikings in Week 1, the Saints found themselves playing catch up most of the afternoon against New England. However, unlike in Week 1 where Kamara played half of the Saints' offensive snaps, the rookie running back was limited to 17 offensive snaps (26 percent) in Week 2. As expected, Kamara appears part of a frustrating three-man committee -- with both Adrian Peterson and Mark Ingram also seeing touches -- that makes each player's weekly usage difficult to predict and limits the fantasy value of all three. Yet, Kamara's ability to catch passes out of the backfield adds a different dimension to the offense, which should provide him a relatively safe weekly floor, especially in PPR leagues.

Breida carried the ball four times for 35 yards and added three yards on his lone reception in Sunday's 12-9 loss to the Seahawks.

Carlos Hyde dominated the backfield touches for the second consecutive week, but Breida made his mark by ripping off a couple big runs in the second half as the 49ers attempted to upset the Seahawks in their own stadium. The speedy running back has been limited to nine total touches through two games, but he's established himself as the clear-cut backup in San Francisco, despite going undrafted this past offseason. Breida's name is worth remembering in the event Hyde goes down to injury, which has been a common occurrence during his four-year career.
