Davis didn't record a carry or target in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.

Davis played exclusively on special teams in his NFL debut, while fellow rookie Braelon Allen backed up Breece Hall and got his first two career touches. It's encouraging that Davis dressed as the Jets' third running back ahead of Israel Abanikanda, but Davis isn't part of New York's game plan on offense at this stage of his career.

Brown rushed three times for 11 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

Brown was on the field for just 17 of the Bengals' 51 offensive snaps Sunday, roughly half of that of backfield mate Zack Moss, who finished with 33 snaps. The delineation of snaps between the two backs was unclear entering the contest, but Moss seemed to be the preferred option while carrying the ball nine times and seeing four targets. Though Brown's role left much to be desired for fantasy managers hoping he could take a step forward this season, he certainly has room to grow as the more explosive option on a team that struggled offensively Week 1. The 24-year-old will look to take on a larger share of Cincinnati's split backfield when the Bengals visit the Chiefs in Week 2.

Davis carried three times for 13 yards and caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Davis played just six of the Bills' 62 offensive snaps in his regular-season debut. Meanwhile, starter James Cook was on the field for 38 snaps with Ty Johnson involved on 14 snaps in the contest. The rookie running back was minimally involved in his first game, yet his development over the course of the season should afford him more opportunities. At 5-foot-8, 220 pounds, Davis profiles as a strong, short-yardage option in Buffalo's backfield. The Kentucky product will look to get more involved in a Week 2 matchup with the division-rival Dolphins.

Taylor logged one snap on special teams in Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets.

The backup running back was barely used in a contest that did not feature starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles). Taylor currently sits behind Jordan Mason (58 snaps) and Isaac Guerendo (13 snaps) in terms of pecking order behind McCaffrey on the 49ers' depth chart.

Guerendo (groin) suited up for Monday's season opener against the Jets but did not record a touch in a 32-19 win.

Guerendo made the 49ers' 53-man roster but was battling a groin injury heading into Week 1. The fourth-round pick out of Louisville got the green light and wound up logging 10 snaps on special teams and three on offense. Starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) did not suit up for this contest, allowing Jordan Mason (28-147-1) to go off against the Jets. Guerendo appears to be next in line should San Francisco need a runner behind CMC or Mason this season.

Perine was cut from the Packers' practice squad Tuesday.

Perine signed with Green Bay's practice squad Aug. 30 after he was waived by the Steelers during roster cuts. The Florida product has seen action with the Jets in the past and most recently with the Chiefs for five regular-season games in 2023, where he had 77 yards on 22 carries and three receptions for 33 yards.

Achane (ankle) was listed as a non-participant Tuesday in the Dolphins' walk-through practice, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Miami has listed Achane as a non-participant in both of its first two Week 2 injury reports, though the team hasn't held a formal practice session following Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars. Achane carried 10 times for 24 yards and a touchdown to go with seven catches for 76 yards over his 35 snaps in the victory, so the Dolphins may be keen on building in some rest for him coming off the busy Week 1 performance. Head coach Mike McDaniel hasn't indicated that Achane's listed ankle issue is anything worrisome, though the second-year back may need to log some listed practice activity Wednesday to avoid taking a designation into Thursday's matchup with the Bills.

Mostert (chest) was listed as a non-participant during Tuesday's walk-through practice, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

The Dolphins have labeled Mostert as a non-participant on both of their first two Week 2 injury reports after he logged 28 snaps and carried six times for nine yards while adding two receptions for 10 yards on three targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars. While the team hasn't suggested that Mostert's injury is a major concern, he may need to get in some listed practice activity Wednesday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Bills.

Wilson rushed five times for 26 yards during the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Wilson finished third in terms of carries behind De'Von Achane (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (chest) in Week 1, but he led Miami's backfield in rushing yards. Achane and Mostert are both nursing injuries heading into a Thursday night divisional matchup against the Bills, so there's a chance Wilson tends to a more significant workload Week 2. Rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright could also get a chance to make his NFL debut if one or more of Miami's backfield starters is limited or inactive Thursday.

Corum did not play a single offensive snap during the Rams' 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions on Sunday night. He did see nine snaps on special teams.

Corum wasn't involved on offense behind Kyren Williams, who played 91 percent of offensive snaps, and Ronnie Rivers, who saw nine percent of offensive snaps as the No. 2 running back. As the season progresses Corum, a rookie third-round pick, could usurp Rivers for the backup role, but Williams looks firmly cemented as Los Angeles' featured rusher. Despite the fact that Corum was listed as the Rams' top kick returner, those duties were handled by Jordan Whittington in Week 1. Corum will look to improve his involvement Sunday on the road against Arizona.
