Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (leg) will not play in the preseason game Sunday, Aug. 23, against the Tennessee titans, and he is not expected to play in the final preseason game Friday, Aug. 28, against the Kansas City Chiefs, either. He has been limited in practice lately due to what has been termed by head coach Mike Macdonald as 'upper leg soreness'. The coach added, 'He's ramping back. It's not responsible to give him a thousand carries after being down for a minute.'

However, it still doesn't guarantee Kittle will be ready to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. However, it's a big step in that direction.

New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. may be in danger of not making the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.
Link to storyUpdating previous reports, Philadelphia Eagles RB Ja'Quinden Jackson (head) was released from a Baltimore-area hospital Saturday, Aug. 22, and joined his teammates for their return trip to Philadelphia, after a CT scan on his head came back negative. Jackson was injured after colliding with the leg of Baltimore Ravens RB Lan Larison on the opening kickoff of Saturday's preseason game. He was carted off the field and taken to the hospital for further evaluation but had strength and movement in all extremities.

Link to storyArizona Cardinals S Wydett Williams Jr. (head) and CB Kalen King (head) were both evaluated for concussions after being injured in the preseason game versus the Dallas Cowboys Saturday, Aug. 22. However, it is not yet known if either player was concussed.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara out, Neal had a chance to assert himself as the backup to Travis Etienne for the time being, but instead suffered his second hamstring injury of the summer. Kendre Miller saw his first game action in almost a year and is set to be the #2 back for the moment with Audric Estime also out. This situation remains in flux behind Etienne with three weeks until the season opener at Detroit. |
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed six times for 26 yards, caught three passes for 22 yards and lost a fumble during the preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Tracy's lost fumble was in the red zone, so that makes two big no-no's in the preseason after he got his quarterback blown up by whiffing on a pass block last week. Najee Harris should be the backup as soon as he is football shape. Tracy wasn't seen as a cut candidate last week, but that could change, or he could be shopped for a late round pick swap. Either way, his dynasty value is plummeting. |
Los Angeles Rams QB Stetson Bennett completed 19 of his 31 passes for 181 yards and rushed twice for nine yards and two touchdowns during the preseason game against the New Orleans Saints Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: First round pick Ty Simpson had a great preseason debut last week, but Bennett showed in the second preseason game that he should be the backup to Matthew Stafford to open the season. Bennett will be a free agent next year, so this tape will be studied. Keep Bennett on your superflex dynasty waiver wire watch list. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James (rib) returned to practice Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Kaelon Black was outstanding in the second preseason game and the rookie should be considered the favorite to be the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey, who is still missing practice because of "soreness". The 49ers have been happy with James' performance, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy since the team drafted him in the fifth round last year. He could still figure into a committee behind McCaffrey if he can reverse that trend, but Black is the running back to target late in your draft if you have misgivings about McCaffrey's ability to stay on the field this year. |
Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was cleared for practice earlier in the week, but after taking part in pregame warmups in uniform, he is not in uniform for the game, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: We shouldn't expect Bell to be a contributor right away, but now that he has been activated from the NFI list, he should start the season on the active roster. Fellow third round pick Caleb Douglas should get a chance to be the primary deep threat while Bell is rounding into form. Bell should be ready to play at some point in the first month of the season, which is good news for quarterback Malik Willis in his first season as the Dolphins starting quarterback. |
Baltimore Ravens RBs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Adam Randall are not playing during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22. RB Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) is not playing because of an injury.
| Footballguys view: That the fifth round pick (and personal choice of owner Steve Bisciotti) Randall was sitting with the established veteran backs is a good sign that the new staff has seen everything they need to see from him. Randall's dynasty value is on the rise and he would probably be the best waiver wire add if Derrick Henry goes down. |

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed five of his 10 passes for 81 yards during the preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens Saturday, Aug. 22, and head coach Kevin O'Connell said QB Carson Wentz and QB Joe Fagnano will have more chances to compete for the backup quarterback job. 'We want to keep giving those guys opportunities,' O'Connell said.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy, a first-round pick of the Vikings back in 2024, has already lost the starting job to Kyler Murray. Now, he might not even be the primary backup to Murray. His pro career got off on the wrong foot (to say the least), and a change of scenery might do him some good. |
