Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday’s practice.

Henderson was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. Stevenson (toe) and Jennings (knee) remained limited for a second consecutive day.

Romeo Doubs was questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles due to a chest injury, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Doubs didn't return to the game. The story said Doubs was holding his chest following a Packers possession in the fourth quarter and was later spotted walking into the locker room. The severity of the injury was still unclear as of early Tuesday, but we'll update as we know more. The Packers are banged up in the pass-catching department, including WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft who are both on IR. Matthew Golden didn't play on Monday night either. It left Watson and Wicks as the top-two WRs.

The Patriots have ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) for Sunday vs. the Bucs.

This locks Henderson back into an RB2 role, while Jennings can be considered a desperation FLEX in the RB4 range.

Diggs should remain a WR2 option, and Douglas is in that same desperation FLEX territroy as a WR4.

WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), LB Christian Elliss (hip) and RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) aren’t scheduled to practice today, according to Mike Vrabel.

It's looking like another week of Henderson's backfield, which would put him in solid RB1 range, while Jennings will handle enough of the short-yardage work to put him in high-RB4 range.

If Boutte misses, we can consider Diggs a WR2 yet again, while Pop Douglas is in FLEX consideration as a WR4.

LaFleur added that Matthew Golden (shoulder) is considered day-to-day not week-to-week.

It's good news for Golden and fantasy owners he gets the day to day tag, which gives him a chance to play in Week 10. Unfortunately, it's a Monday night game against the Eagles and a game-time tag could be a risk for fantasy owners. Golden likely isn't starting in your fantasy lineup outside of very deep formats, anyway. With Wicks also out the last two weeks, the WR duties look to fall on Doubs, Watson and Williams if Golden isn't able to play.

Patriots HC Mike Vrabel says WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is day-to-day. Vrabel indicated that Boutte likely won't practice early in the week, and that WR Kyle Williams will get more opportunities.

Boutte has been on fire over the last three weeks, before leaving Week 9's game against the Falcons. Boutte, from Weeks 6-8, was averaging only four targets a game, but had turned that into 10 catches for 223 yards and four touchdowns in that three-week span. The day to day tag gives him a shot to play in Week 10, but it sounds like the Pats will ease him back into practice as the week goes on.

Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte left Sunday’s game against the Falcons with a hamstring injury.

Boutte left the game in the first half and was originally ruled questionable to return before later changed to out for the day. Boutte’s absence would leave quite a void in the Patriots’ wide receiver corps.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson didn’t practice today due to a toe injury.

Still early in the week, but Henderson would be an incredible RB2 candidate in what should be a very good matchup. We'll keep an eye on things, but the rookie might jump from potential FLEX candidate to must-start territory with quickness.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco, who left Monday night’s win with a knee injury, is considered week-to-week with an MCL sprain, per sources.

The week to week tag suggest Pacheco could at least miss Week 9, which is a showdown against the Bills. Keep in mind, the Chiefs have a bye in Week 10. Hunt should get his normal workload but Smith could be an interesting add as he seems to be trending up, especially in the passing game, and it could result in more touches overall if Pacheco is out.

The Cardinals released veteran RB Michael Carter, per the wire.

Related players: Trey Benson, Zonovan Knight, Emari Demercado, D'Ernest Johnson

Carter wasn't impressive despite getting the starting nod a couple of weeks. The Cards will go with Knight as their top back and Demercado, at least for now, looks to slide into the RB2 role. Benson will miss at least one more week on IR, but has a chance to come back for Week 10.
