Swift rushed 17 times for 53 yards and caught three of five targets for 12 yards in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Swift finished five yards shy of Caleb Williams' team-high rushing total and was the only Bears running back to record a carry, though rookie Kyle Monangai had one catch out of the backfield. While Swift seems locked into a high touch floor again due to a lack of competition, efficiency remains a concern, as he averaged a career-low 3.8 yards per carry last season and dipped to just 3.1 in Monday's small sample. Finding running room won't be easy Week 2 against the Lions, who held Swift to 59 yards on 20 carries (3.0 YPC) in two 2024 meetings.

Mason rushed 15 times for 68 yards and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Bears on Monday night.

Mason comfortably led the Vikings in rush attempts and rushing yards, outpacing the only other running back to log a carry, Aaron Jones, by seven carries and 45 yards. The Week 1 usage between the two players is eye-catching to say the least, considering Jones is the established incumbent of the ground attack under a returning coaching staff. Nevertheless, Mason is a proven commodity as an offseason addition, and head coach Kevin O'Connell may be most comfortable affording the latter the bulk of early-down work on most weeks. The next opportunity to see how the pecking order shakes out comes in a Week 2 home matchup against the Falcons on Sunday night.

Wilson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wilson was elevated to the active roster to provide depth in the backfield for Week 1 against the Colts after Jaylen Wright (knee) was ruled out, but the former played just two snaps on offense without showing up on the box score otherwise. Wilson would be a top candidate to be elevated for Miami's Week 2 AFC East clash against New England if Wright remains sidelined.

Schrader reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday.

Schrader was elevated from the practice squad for the Rams' Week 1 win over the Texans and logged four snaps on special teams without recording any statistics. With Kyren Williams and Blake Corum set to handle the vast majority of the backfield reps for the Rams, Schrader's path to gameday elevations likely depends on the status of Jarquez Hunter, who was a healthy inactive Week 1.

Bentley reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bentley played two snaps on offense during the Colts' Week 1 win over the Dolphins, with his lone carry going for no gain. He would be a top candidate to be elevated for the Colts' Week 2 clash against the Broncos on Sunday if Tyler Goodson (elbow) is not cleared to play.

Johnson reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson played 15 snaps (seven on offense, eight on special teams) without otherwise showing up on the box score. The seventh-year fullback could be elevated for Week 2 against Tampa Bay if Houston requires additional blocking out of the backfield and another body for special teams.

Prentice reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Prentice was elevated for Week 1 and logged 15 of the Broncos' 76 offensive snaps, finishing with one catch on one target for four yards. He also played four snaps on special teams. Prentice is likely to be elevated again for Week 2 against Indianapolis, as Denver doesn't have another healthy option at fullback.

Washington reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

Washington didn't record any stats across the 10 snaps he played on special teams during Sunday's loss versus the Buccaneers. The 2023 undrafted free agent will now await his next opportunity to be called up to the active roster.

Chesnut rushed the ball twice for two yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.

Chestnut served as the Titans' top running back behind Tony Pollard but still had only a peripheral role in the offense. Tyjae Spears (ankle) will remain sidelined for at least three more games, while Kalel Mullings (ankle) was also shaken up in Sunday's loss. That leaves Chestnut as Pollard's clear backup for the foreseeable future.

The Eagles acquired Bigsby from the Jaguars on Monday in exchange for 2026 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bigsby took a back seat to Travis Etienne in the Jaguars' Week 1 win over the Panthers, getting outsnapped 40-14 and out-touched 19-5. All of Bigsby's touches were carries for a measly 12 yards, while Etienne ripped off 156 yards from scrimmage. With the move to Philadelphia, Bigsby may be able to step in as the team's No. 2 back right away after Will Shipley suffered a rib injury in last Thursday's win over the Cowboys. However, Saquon Barkley will continue to handle a bell-cow role out of the backfield, and veteran AJ Dillon also is on hand as depth. More than likely, Bigsby's immediate impact will occur on kick returns.
