Gibson, who was on the field for 19 of 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, carried the ball seven times for 28 yards and lost a fumble.

Meanwhile, Rhamondre Stevenson started at RB on Sunday and logged 27 snaps en route to carrying the ball four times for 18 yards (with two lost fumbles) and catching all three of his targets for 38 yards, while rookie TreVeyon Henderson recorded 34 snaps, gained 28 yards on 11 carries without a fumble and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards. Looking ahead to the Patriots' Week 4 contest against the Panthers, Gibson's complementary role in the team's backfield might be on shaky ground if his ball security issues linger, but he should continue contributing as a kick returner.

Johnson didn't take the field during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

Johnson saw minimal snaps over the first two weeks of the regular season, but he was held out Sunday following last week's error on special teams that led to a Seattle touchdown. Jaylen Warren continued to serve as the lead back against New England, playing 80 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps, while Kenneth Gainwell was on the field for 26 percent. The Steelers invested a third-round pick in Johnson, but the rookie has some work to do if he hopes to carve out a fantasy-relevant role.

Brooks did not record a touch in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

The eight snaps Brooks played in Week 3 were not far off the 10 snaps he averaged over the first two weeks, but he did not get a sniff of the football after racking up five touches total in Weeks 1 and 2. Brooks and Emanuel Wilson -- who finished with six carries Sunday -- will continue mixing in behind starting running back Josh Jacobs.

Wilson had six carries for 25 yards in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

Wilson was limited to one carry and 12 snaps over the first two weeks of the season, but he spelled starter Josh Jacobs a bit more in Week 3 and ran the ball effectively. Fellow reserve Chris Brooks saw some action as well, and both will continue working behind Jacobs in some fashion. However, Wilson's usage signals that he, rather than Brooks, would be the primary ball carrier if Jacobs were unavailable for any reason.

Harris (Achilles) is expected to miss the rest of the season due to an injury sustained during Sunday's win over the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coach John Harbaugh said after the game that the veteran running back would undergo imaging to confirm the severity of the injury, which is feared to be a torn Achilles. With Harris sidelined, rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton has an unblocked path to a workhorse role in the Chargers' backfield while Hassan Haskins projects to step into the No. 2 role, with 2024 sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal likely to be elevated from the practice squad for additional depth.

Ogunbowale played exclusively on special teams in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.

This was the first time in three weeks that Ogunbowale did not get on the field with the offense, despite him being one of only three backs active for the game. Houston is still without lead back Joe Mixon (foot), but only Nick Chubb and Woody Marks are benefitting. Neither Ogunbowale nor Dameon Pierce -- inactive for a second straight week -- have a meaningful role on offense.

Monangai rushed six times for 16 yards and caught a four-yard pass in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Monangai didn't handle a rushing attempt in Week 1, but with the Bears playing in blowouts the last two weeks, he has averaged 6.5 carries over that span. Until Monangai establishes a role in close games, it's unclear how much work he'll see as the No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift.

Dowdle recorded 10 rushes for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons. He added one reception on one target for eight yards as well as one kick return for 21 yards.

The Panthers enjoyed a blowout win, though that doesn't appear to be the only reason for Dowdle's increased usage. He was the exclusive running back on a possession that began late in the fourth quarter, which accounted for half of his carries and his touchdown, but Chuba Hubbard returned to the game on the following possession. Hubbard is still the clear lead back in Carolina, but Dowdle has seen his touch total increase every week of the season.

Corum recorded eight rushes for 53 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles. He also returned five kicks for 115 yards.

Corum mixed in with Kyren Williams for most of the first half to match a career high with eight carries. Williams was still the clear lead back with 22 total touches, though Corum's role is expanding, and he looks to have earned the trust of the coaching staff to earn meaningful touches. Corum appears to be one of the top backup running back options around the league.

Sanders recorded nine carries for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears. He added three receptions on three targets for 12 yards.

Sanders recorded a season-high nine carries and 12 total touches, though those numbers were inflated by his usage during garbage time. Four of his rushing attempts came on Dallas' final offensive possession, with Joe Milton under center and many of the team's reserve skill-position players earning snaps. Javonte Williams remains the team's clear lead back, with Sanders serving in a change-of-pace role.
