Giddens (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Chiefs.

Giddens was inactive Week 1 as a healthy scratch, and he will now be forced to miss the team's second contest of the year as he nurses an apparent knee injury. In Giddens' absence, Seth McGowan will operate as the team's primary reserve option behind starting running back Jonathan Taylor versus Kansas City.

Price (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Price was accompanied by trainers to the locker room with his shoulder pads off during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. If the Seahawks hold onto their large lead, it wouldn't be surprising to see Price sidelined for the rest of the game even if he's cleared to return. If that's the case, then the rookie first-rounder would finish with 13 carries for 52 yards and one catch (on two targets) for eight yards. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson could both see an uptick in snaps on offense for as long as Price is out of the game.

Judkins rushed 12 times for 21 yards and brought in all five targets for 27 yards in the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Judkins once again handled a clear No. 1 role in Cleveland's ground attack, but he unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against the Buccaneers' stout defensive front. The second-year back was able to make up for the lack of rushing production to an extent with his work as a receiver, which saw him tie for the second-most receptions on the afternoon for the Browns. Judkins is averaging a meager 2.3 yards per carry through the first two games, but he has a useful 7-44-0 receiving line on seven targets in that same span as a Week 3 home matchup against the Panthers approaches next Sunday.

Irving rushed 17 times for 89 yards and brought in all four of his targets for one yard in the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

For the second time in as many games to open the season, Irving put together a crisp performance on the ground, with Sunday's tally spearheaded by a 38-yard run. The third-year back was also regularly involved in the passing game, but he generated next to nothing with his four catches. The Buccaneers are alarmingly 0-2 heading into a Week 3 home matchup against the Vikings next Sunday, but Irving's role as Tampa Bay's workhorse back is unquestioned approaching that critical early-season clash.

Monangai carried the ball 10 times for 47 yards and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

The second-year RB led the Chicago backfield in rushing yards by two over D'Andre Swift on six fewer totes, but neither player was able to get into the end zone. Monangai has seen exactly 12 touches in each of the first two games of the season, turning that volume into 182 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD, but he could see more volume in Week 3 against the Eagles with Caleb Williams (hamstring) potentially unavailable, which would likely leave Tyson Bagent under center.

Dobbins exited Sunday's game versus the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury, Sam Jane of The Denver Post reports.

Dobbins favored his hamstring as he left the field in the second half and promptly visited the sideline tent. While he was spotted with his helmet after being evaluated, he may not return to the Broncos' Week 2 contest, and if he doesn't, he'll finish with 10 carries for 36 yards. With direct backup RB RJ Harvey (hamstring) inactive Sunday, rookie fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie are left as the healthy options at the position.

Swift carried the ball 16 times for 45 yards and caught all five of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

Wet and windy conditions at Soldier Field put a damper on both teams' passing games, and Swift wound up leading Chicago in receiving yards while tying Kalif Raymond for the team lead in receptions. Swift also had the Bears' longest play from scrimmage, a 32-year catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. The veteran RB has racked up 233 combined yards through two games, but Chicago's offense could look very different in Week 3 against the Eagles as Caleb Williams (hamstring) left Sunday's loss in the fourth quarter, with Tyson Bagent finishing up under center.

Montgomery rushed six times for 10 yards and brought in both his targets for 14 yards in the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Neither Montgomery nor backfield mate Woody Marks was able to make any inroads against what looks to be a vastly improved Bengals run defense, although after also being held to 3.0 yards per carry in Week 1, it's clear Montgomery's early issues with efficiency can at least partly be blamed on the Texans' offensive line. Montgomery also saw Marks outpace him by two carries and four targets, yet that may have been largely a function of a game script that saw Houston in catch-up mode. Montgomery should revert back to a lead role in a Week 3 road divisional clash against the Colts next Sunday.

Wright is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a stinger.

Wright logged two carries for 11 yards prior to going to the locker room, where he's undergoing more tests to determine the severity of his injury. If Wright ends up being shut down for the rest of the contest, Ollie Gordon would be the lone backup option behind starting running back De'Von Achane.

Jones carried the ball 23 times for 105 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

Wet and windy conditions at Soldier Field put a damper on both teams' passing attacks, but Jones was able to keep the Minnesota offense moving on the ground. The veteran back saw a big workload with Jordan Mason (thumb) on IR, but Jones did briefly leave the game to tend to a minor knee injury in the fourth quarter. Assuming the knee doesn't linger, he figures to be busy again in a Week 3 road trip to Tampa Bay.
