Player Updates Overview

Giants waived RB Antonio Williams.

Advice: Williams had just two snaps on offense this season and hadn't touched the ball since the 2020 finale, where he rushed for two touchdowns. Williams had played 44 snaps for the Giants on special teams this year and could find work elsewhere. His release doesn't change much about the state of the depth chart.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 11:53 am

Ezekiel Elliott rushed 15 times for 73 yards and one touchdown in the Cowboys' Week 3 win over the Giants Monday night.

Advice: After posting rushing lines of 10/52 and 15/53 in Weeks 1 and 2, Elliott finally visited pay dirt for the first time this season with a one-yard touchdown plunge in the third quarter to tie the game at 13-13. Tony Pollard still out-shined him with a 13/105 rushing output, but he's not going away and was still involved at the goal line earlier in the game. The Cowboys are deploying a true timeshare out of the backfield. Elliott and Pollard saw one target apiece, with Elliott catching his for two yards, though he still has negative receiving yards on the year. Elliott will be a TD-or-bust RB2 next week against the Commanders. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 8:42 pm

Speaking Monday, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Dalvin Cook (shoulder) "will be day-to-day" heading into Week 4.

Advice: ProFootballTalk reported on Sunday that Cook is expected to wear a brace and play in Week 4. O'Connell acknowledged that Cook's shoulder is sore, but also noted that this is an injury he's familiar with. Cook suffered a dislocated shoulder in Sunday's win over the Lions, an injury that he has become all-too-familiar with throughout his career. Assuming he's active against the Saints, Cook will be a top-12 back. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 12:52 pm
