From the article

Lew Nichols (three carries for 11 yards) and Travis Homer (not a single catch nor carry after starting against the Packers) seeing less playing time. Nichols looked like his usual solid self, and to be honest, when he subbed in for Johnson it looked like he was moving at a far more urgent speed.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Nichols showed more urgency than Johnson when subbing in despite reduced carries.

Saw reduced playing time (three carries for 11 yards) compared to the previous week but looked like his usual solid self. When he subbed in for Kaleb Johnson, he appeared to be moving at a far more urgent speed, suggesting better efficiency and burst than Johnson. The competition for RB3 remains wide open behind starters Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.
