Allen turned three carries into one yard during the Commanders' 30-13 loss to the Colts on Sunday in London.

Allen's first carry came early in the first quarter, but the rookie sixth-rounder didn't touch the ball again until the last five minutes of the fourth period. Even with Rachaad White (shoulder) inactive, Allen was on the field for only 12 of the Commanders' 64 offensive snaps (18.8 percent), which was behind both Jacory Croskey-Merritt (29) and recent addition Austin Ekeler (17). White is expected to return to practice ahead of the Commanders' Week 5 game against the Giants, and if he's cleared to return, then Allen would seemingly move down to the RB4 spot on the roster behind Croskey-Merritt, White and Ekeler.

Herbert reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Herbert played four of the Chargers' 71 offensive snaps during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Seattle, and he added 14 snaps on special teams. He can be elevated once more this season before the Chargers would have to sign him to their 53-man roster to make him eligible to suit up.

The Packers waived Jones (undisclosed) from injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones reverted to the Packers' injured reserve Aug. 10 after being waived with an injury designation. The cornerback likely wishes to join another franchise in 2026, leading to an injury settlement with the team. Once Jones recovers from his undisclosed injury, he will be set to join another franchise.

Johnson caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

The rookie running back didn't handle a single rushing attempt behind Kenneth Walker's 22 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson still played 17 offensive snaps and remains the clear backup and bench stash to own in fantasy should something ever happen to Walker.

Reed reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Reed played 10 of Carolina's 75 offensive snaps in Week 4, and he could not haul in his only target during Sunday's 32-26 win versus the Lions. Whether he's elevated again in Week 6 following the Panthers' bye could depend on the availability of Jalen Coker (quadriceps).

Matthews (groin) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Matthews exited Monday's contest in the first quarter with a groin injury. The left tackle promptly returned to the game and was blocking for Bijan Robinson on his second touchdown of the night near the end of the first quarter. In his absence, Michael Jerrell has replaced Matthews on the offensive line.

Dulcich played 20 offensive snaps but didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Dolphins' 15-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Dulcich and Malik Willis connected on five catches on seven targets for 55 yards against the Chiefs in Week 3, but the duo failed to link up with each other during Sunday's loss. It was the first time since Week 8 of the 2025 season that Dulcich failed to record a target, and perhaps more notably, his 20 offensive snaps were behind rookie third-round tight end Will Kacmarek's 24. The Dolphins will head back to Miami to host the Bengals for Week 5.

Henry was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Henry has spent the entirety of the 2026 campaign on the practice squad with Washington so far, but he will now get a chance with Seattle's active roster. The running back will provide the team with an additional depth option behind Emanuel Wilson and George Holani while Zach Charbonnet (knee) works his way back from the PUP list and Jadarian Price (chest) is on injured reserve. Seattle also signed veteran Joe Mixon to the practice squad Monday, so there are many moving parts for the team at running back right now.

Davis played just two offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

With Breece Hall (thigh) inactive, Braelon Allen ended up playing 32 of 34 offensive snaps out of the backfield for the Jets, leaving no room for Davis. He can continue to be ignored in most fantasy formats.

Coach Dave Canales said Monday that Ekwonu (knee) is still a considerable time away from returning to action, Mike Kaye of ESPN reports.

Ekwonu was placed on the Panthers' reserve/PUP list prior to the start of the regular season, as he was still recovering from the ruptured patellar tendon he suffered during the Panthers' wild-card loss against the Rams last postseason, and there's no indication at this point that he's nearing a return. With rookie first-rounder Monroe Freeling now dealing with a knee issue, Stone Forsythe could be called upon to start at right tackle for the Panthers in Week 6 after their bye in Week 5.
