Jaguars | Foot injury for Chris Rodriguez Tue Jun 9, 12:30 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) recently underwent a procedure on a foot injury he suffered during the offseason but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today notes, Rodriguez was the lone outside addition made by the Jaguars this offseason during the free agency period. He will be competing with Bhayshul Tuten for the top spot on the Jaguars' running back depth chart, but regardless of who holds the RB1 title, both players will be big factors on offense this season. But Rodriguez will need to recover as expected. We'll be watching for more on that when training camp opens. |
Panthers | CAR expecting Jonathon Brooks to become lead back Tue Jun 9, 12:29 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks needs to stay healthy, but could potentially become the lead back in Carolina over Chuba Hubbard, in the opinion of Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com on Monday, June 8.
| Footballguys view: Wolfe identified Brooks as the team's wild-card player. As USA Today's Anthony Rizzuti reminded readers, two ACL tears, both to the same knee, have limited Brooks to only three NFL games since he was selected in the second round of the 2024 draft. But Brooks, over the past few weeks, was able to fully participate in organized team activities for the first time in his career. How Brooks will fit into that backfield with Hubbard and Trevor Etienne will be one of the things to watch as the Panthers head into training camp next month. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love sees work as returner Tue Jun 9, 12:25 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love has received work as a kick returner during offseason workouts, but special teams coordinator Michael Ghobiel indicated that Love may only be an emergency option for the position.
| Footballguys view: Please note the "an emergency option" portion of that news. The Cardinals didn't use the third pick overall to have Love work as a return man. He's there to be the lead back in Mike LaFleur's offense. Will he share with Tyler Allgeier, James Conner and/or Trey Benson. To some degree. But Love's RB13 ADP isn't out of line and a top-10 fantasy finish this season is in his range of outcomes. |
Chiefs | Emari Demercado "closer to RB2" in KC Tue Jun 9, 12:17 AM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Emari Demercado has consistently been the RB2 behind free-agent acquisition Kenneth Walker III in solo drills and also, 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills in OTAs, according to Charles Goldman of AtoZ Sports on Monday, June 8.
| Footballguys view: Goldman reminded readers that Demercado has been written off a bit because of the addition of Emmett Johnson in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, the coaching staff still appears to be very high on him and his abilities. Things can obviously change throughout the course of an offseason, but Goldman believes that after OTAs it feels like Demercado is closer to RB2 in Kansas City than any other prospect. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo on field Monday Mon Jun 8, 02:08 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) is participating in practice Monday, June 8.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo, who said mid-May that he expects to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, is about eight months removed from the dislocated right ankle that limited him to eight games as a rookie. As CBSSports.com suggests, while it doesn't yet appear that the 2025 fourth-round pick has been cleared for full team drills, seeing him move fluidly on the field in individual work is encouraging. We'll continue to watch for more, but Skattebo being fully cleared for the start of training camp is within the range of outcomes here. |
Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten had made strides Mon Jun 8, 12:14 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is running better during OTAs this season than he was last year, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: According to SI.com's John Shipley, Tuten looked like he was picking up steam during OTAs. Coen also said Tuten looks like he is more in tune with the scheme now than as a rookie. With veteran Chris Rodriguez Jr. missing time with an unspecified issue, Tuten could use minicamp to solidify himself in the room further. However, it remains to be seen to what extent. We'll certainly be watching. Tuten is currently being drafted as RB25, a price that accounts for both the upside and the uncertain role. |
Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson focused on growth Mon Jun 8, 12:12 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has focused on improving his blocking and receiving during the offseason program.
| Footballguys view: A more well-rounded skill set would give the second-year man a better chance of getting more playing time. Henderson played 43% of the offensive snaps last season, second most on the team behind Rhamondre Stevenson (52.9%), but he's being drafted well ahead of his teammate. Henderson is RB21 according to current ADP data. That spot carries a fourth-round price tag. Stevenson is RB29 with a late-sixth-round cost. The Footballguys projections have the two more tightly packed. Henderson is projected for an RB26 finish, while Stevenson's RB28 projection is closer to his ADP. This is a situation worth watching this summer. |
Eagles | Saquon Barkley to see uptick in receptions? Sun Jun 7, 04:07 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley could be in line for more working catching the ball out of the backfield, thanks to the departure of WR A.J. Brown (Patriots). He was targeted just 50 times in 2025, and 43 times in 2024. In his final two seasons with the New York Giants, he had 136 total targets. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion could look to use Barkley more in pass-catching situations to offset the loss of Brown.

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs will be leaned upon heavily Sun Jun 7, 01:10 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs will see a majority of the carries out of the backfield following the trade of RB David Montgomery to the Houston Texans during the offseason. 'He's going to be our bell cow now,' head coach Dan Campbell said. 'We're going to hang our hat on him quite a bit. We're going to do a lot of things we feel like he does well. I've mentioned this before, he can run everything that we've got. He can run every scheme that anybody's ever run.'
| Footballguys view: Gibbs is neck and neck with Bijan Robinson for #1 pick in fantasy drafts. Robinson also saw his running mate and sometimes touchdown vulture Tyler Allgeier leave in the offseason, but Gibbs is in the better offense and is trending towards being the most common 1.1 pick this year. |

Falcons | Extension coming for Bijan Robinson? Sat Jun 6, 03:54 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson has been talking with the Falcons about a contract extension, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Both Robinson and Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs are set to get new contracts...and they'll both be resetting the market. Speculation abounds that Gibbs could get rewarded with a deal that pays him around $20 million annually. There is no doubt that Robinson will be in that same ballpark once his new deal is finalized. |

Seahawks | Two RBs work with starters Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani and Jadarian Price share snaps with the first-team offense during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: With Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovering, and Kenneth Walker in Kansas City, the Seahawks are working out their RBBC. This is a competition that should last through training camp and the preseason. Price, the first-round pick out of Notre Dame, is an exciting prospect with speed and field-flipping ability. However, recent reports suggested he may not be the bell cow right away. Instead, the team may use an RBBC with Holani until Price is ready for a larger workload. Price does have flex appeal as the lead back in this committee, with the upside to be more if/when he takes a larger role. |
Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs not worried about contract Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs said he is only focusing on his play and will let his agent handle the contract extensions.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs is the bell cow for the Lions, and he's set to get paid as one of the best running backs in the league. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Gibbs could sign an extension averaging $20 million annually (or more) this summer. He's not worried about it, and like Thanos, a deal is inevitable. Stay tuned. |

Broncos | Two players worked out Wed Jun 3, 05:31 PM
Free-agent RB Marcus Yarns (Saints) and WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper (Cowboys) will be working out for the Denver Broncos.
Link to story Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten looking to improve Wed Jun 3, 04:31 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten said he is looking to improve his pass protection and receiving skills this offseason. Tuten also hopes to improve his field vision.
| Footballguys view: After being drafted in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, strong performances in training camp and the preseason catapulted Tuten to RB2, behind Travis Etienne. With Etienne's departure, Tuten is primed to have a breakout year, even if head coach Liam Coen favors more of a rotation at running back, with both Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. taking regular snaps. Still, the more Tuten can do to stay on the field, the better his chances of handling a lead role become. The Jaguars' backfield will be one to watch closely this summer. |
Dolphins | De'Von Achane to be limited at minicamp Wed Jun 3, 02:24 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) will only participate in individual drills during the mandatory minicamp this week, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp, so going easy on him at this point makes sense. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health, so he should be moving full speed ahead soon enough. We'll continue to monitor this situation. |
Browns | More work for Quinshon Judkins Wed Jun 3, 01:12 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) is participating in team drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Working in full-team drills is a step up from the individual drills Judkins was limited to last month. Judkins dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula in Week 16 and missed the final two games last season. Judkins had 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games last season. An upgraded offensive line and a new, offensive-minded head coach in Todd Monken could benefit Judkins this season. He's currently being drafted as RB22. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara at workout Wed Jun 3, 01:05 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is present for the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, Kamara's status with the team has been in question this offseason, with general manager Mickey Loomis saying last month that the club is trying to figure out how the running back fits on the roster. But Kamara has maintained he'd like to stick with New Orleans, and his arrival on Wednesday lends credence to that notion. For what it's worth, Kamara was only participating in individual drills during Wednesday's session. We'll continue to monitor, but free-agent addition Travis Etienne Jr. is expected to be the lead back, whether Kamara is on the roster or not. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks held out of team drills on Tuesday Tue Jun 2, 05:22 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks was reportedly held out of team drills and scrimmage on Tuesday, as the team works to get him back to 100%, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
Link to story Eagles | Elijah Mitchell signs with Philadelphia Tue Jun 2, 01:58 PM
Free agent RB Elijah Mitchell (Patriots) signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, June 2. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell almost had 1000 yards as a rookie with the 49ers in 2021, but hasn't had a carry in an NFL game since 2023 because of injury issues. Speed is his calling card, and he is a good fit in the zone running game the Eagles are installing, so he could be a veteran practice squad candidate, or even make the team if injuries strike the Eagles backfield in camp or the preseason. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs back at OTAs Tue Jun 2, 01:05 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs was at the team's practice during OTAs on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs was arrested on May 26 after police responded to an alleged domestic violence incident a few days earlier. He missed practice time as those matters played out, but it does not sound like there will be any limitations on his participation this week. Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that it is "business as usual" for the veteran back. Prosecutors said last week there has been no decision about formally filing criminal charges against Jacobs. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Titans | Nick Singleton making progress Tue Jun 2, 12:32 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Nick Singleton (foot) is making progress in his recovery from a Jones fracture in his foot, according to head coach Robert Saleh.
| Footballguys view: The Titans took a bit of a risk when they picked Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The star running back suffered the injury during Senior Bowl week and was unable to participate in any of the pre-draft workouts. Singleton's return will add another back to what has become a crowded backfield this offseason. The Titans have Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Kalel Mullings, and Julius Chestnut returning, and added Singleton and veteran Michael Carter during the offseason in hopes of improving their dismal 30th-ranked rushing attack in 2026. |
Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt sits out Tue Jun 2, 12:31 AM
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt attended the voluntary workouts last week but did not participate in drills.
| Footballguys view: It's unclear if Croskey-Merritt is dealing with an injury. As CBSSports.com notes, his next opportunity to take part in team drills will arrive during mandatory minicamp June 16-18, and then during training camp in July. Croskey-Merritt suited up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, totaling 175 carries for 805 yards and eight touchdowns. He also had nine catches for 68 yards on 13 targets. Free-agent addition Rachaad White will provide Croskey-Merritt with competition for touches, especially in the receiving game. The Commanders have Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols, and rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen on the depth chart. |
Colts | Jonathan Taylor skips workout Mon Jun 1, 04:22 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor did not participate in the voluntary workout Monday, June 1.
| Footballguys view: While nobody seems concerned about this absence, head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged after practice that it's a fair question to debate whether the Colts need to scale back the NFL-leading 323 carries for Taylor from last season. If that's going to happen, and the Colts don't make any other running back moves, those reserve roles will go to some youth on the roster. But both former draft picks D.J. Giddens and Seth McGowan flashed a bit on Monday in Taylor's absence. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara talks have stalled out Mon Jun 1, 12:10 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara and the team have not had 'a lot of traction' on a revised deal that could allow Kamara to return to the Saints in 2026.
| Footballguys view: "The team can also save about $14 million after June 1 on a salary cap," Fowler reported Sunday. Kamara's resume includes an Offensive Rookie of the Year, five Pro Bowl selections, and more than 1,100 yards from scrimmage in eight of his nine seasons. He also led the league in combined receiving and rushing touchdowns in 2020 with 21. Yet he will be 31 years old during the 2026 campaign and is coming off the worst individual season of his career. New Orleans also signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year deal this offseason, which made Kamara's future uncertain. |

Titans | Tony Pollard feels he is still trending up Mon Jun 1, 12:09 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard is one of just two NFL backs to run for at least 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons, with Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry the other back in that exclusive club. He has played in at least 15 games in each of his seven NFL seasons, as durability has been key. 'The work ethic, everything that I'm doing behind the scenes, it's paying off,' Pollard said, via The Associated Press. 'I slowly feel like throughout my career I've just slowly progressed more and more, and I feel like I'm still trending in that direction.'
| Footballguys view: Pollard actually has four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons -- the last two for Tennessee. He was a Pro Bowler for the Cowboys in 2022, the first of his aforementioned quartet of 1,000-yard campaigns. He had a career-best 1,082 yards on the ground with five touchdowns last season. With Pollard already in place to support quarterback Cam Ward and a Tennessee offense taking on offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's new scheme, sticking with the veteran makes sense. For fantasy investors, the RB31 price makes him a reasonable value. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley asking for advice Sun May 31, 03:03 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley reached out to retired RB Todd Gurley for advice on how to make the most of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's system.
| Footballguys view: Gurley was a teammate of new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion with the Rams in 2017-2018, and he had two of the best years of his career in the zone running game during the Sean McVay regime. Barkley will be running a lot more outside zone with the quarterback under center, so he is having to revamp his game. Offensive line health is a big question mark along with Barkley's adjustment physically and mentally to a one cut and go style of play, but this season should be a better offensive environment for him after playing in the disaster of an offense run by Kevin Patullo, who was let go in the offseason. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs hoping for contract extension Sun May 31, 11:32 AM
Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is eligible for a contract extension but substantial talks have not yet taken place between the two sides, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Lions | Huge contract coming for Jahmyr Gibbs? Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is 'positioned to reset the running back market in a big way,' according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. 'Think $20 million per year or over,' Fowler said.
| Footballguys view: He has earned it, and the Lions should have no hesitation paying it. Because Gibbs and fellow 2023 first round pick Jack Campbell play positions with a lower top of the pay scale, their combined cost per year should come in right after what the Seahawks are paying Jaxon Smith-Njigba on his contract extension. |

Jaguars | Chris Rodriguez Jr. not practicing Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (undisclosed) did not practice and was seen riding a stationary back at practice Tuesday, May 26. Head coach Liam Coen did not comment on the specifics of Rodriguez's injury.
| Footballguys view: Coen did not seem worried, but we would like to know more about the nature of Rodriguez's absence before writing this off as nothing to be concerned about. The free agent signing is expected to be part of a three-headed committee with 2025 fourth round pick Bhayshul Tuten and 2025 seventh round pick LeQuint Allen, with an edge in short yardage and inside running. Tuten and Allen are both impressing his absence, and could make it an uphill climb for Rodriguez to earn more work than expected, but Coen's familiarity with Rodriguez could offset that. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo works in some drills Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) 'snuck into' some positional drills during practice Friday, May 29, and appeared to be moving well, according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com.
| Footballguys view: Of the two rookie backs who suffered dislocated ankle/fractured fibula injuries last year, Skattebo is behind Quinshon Judkins - who has been moving surprisingly well already - but still on track to be ready for Week 1. The big question is whether Skattebo will be back his old self this year. Skattebo did suffer ligament damage that Judkins didn't, so he was expected to be behind Judkins. We'll be watching this closely. For now, Tyrone Tracy has some speculative early season upside as Skattebo's backup. |
Broncos | Jonah Coleman may have early role Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could be used as a receiver out of the backfield during his rookie season, in the opinion of BroncosWire's Jon Heath.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is a threat to both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey's roles, and he could end up being as valuable as Harvey even though there is a 50+ pick gap in their ADPs. Coleman could also be the first man up if Dobbins goes down. This is a big camp for Harvey to prove he deserves a bigger opportunity to prove he was worth the second round pick the Broncos spent on him last year. |
Seahawks | Jadarian Price agrees to deal Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Seattle Seahawks first-round draft choice RB Jadarian Price agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Seahawks Friday, May 29, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Price has a chance to start Week 1 in the Super Bowl rematch against New England, but nothing is promised or guaranteed to him. George Holani is splitting first team work with Price while Zach Charbonnet (expected back sometime in the second half of the season) and Kenny McIntosh (should be ready for camp) recover from ACL surgery. Free agent signing Emanuel Wilson was not seen at practice this week, but Price did have a great play on a long reception that could help create momentum for him to be used in the passing game after barely seeing any targets at Notre Dame behind Arizona Cardinals #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love. |
Jets | Braelon Allen on the field Sat May 30, 03:09 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen has been participating in offseason workouts after missing most of the 2025 season because of a knee injury.

New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings could be on the roster bubble during training camp because of his injury history, in the opinion of NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry.
Link to story Packers | Christopher Brooks works with starters Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks took first-team reps during 11-on-11 drills at OTAs on Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: Brooks' strength is his passing down skills, but with Emanuel Wilson gone to Seattle in free agency and MarShawn Lloyd once again "working off to the side", Brooks is the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, who was in the news because of domestic violence allegations earlier this week. We should know if the Packers expect Jacobs to miss time due to a suspension by whether they decide to improve their running back bench. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo may miss most of camp Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral this offseason and is expected to be sidelined until around the end of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Guerendo was already viewed as behind third round pick Kaelon Black and last year's fifth round pick Jordan James on the depth chart. It's possible that Guerendo ends up on the NFI or PUP list to start the season. This news almost insures that the 2024 fourth round pick will be a non-factor in the 49ers backfield this season. |

Link to story 49ers | Christian McCaffrey to be eased in Thu May 28, 08:39 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey did not practice Thursday, and the team plans to take a 'cautious' approach with McCaffrey throughout the offseason program and training camp.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey soon will turn 30. That raises questions about managing his workload moving forward. "I think the workload in our sport is really monitored in practice, not in games," he said. So for McCaffrey, workload management happens in the days between the games. After an Achilles injury followed by a knee injury limited McCaffrey to four games in 2024, he started every game in 2025 and finished with more than 400 touches. Even if it makes sense to lighten his load, the Niners have rarely done that in games. We don't expect them to start this season. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
49ers | Surgery for Isaac Guerendo Thu May 28, 06:55 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) has undergone surgery to repair a torn pectoral.
| Footballguys view: It was already expected to be a competitive battle for touches in the 49ers' running back room in 2026. Now, Guerendo faces another obstacle. "It's not a season-ender," Shanahan said. "But it's right around the end of training camp." With second-year man Jordan James and 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black competing for reps behind Christian McCaffrey, an absence isn't great news for Guerendo. We'll watch for more. |
Saints | Kendre Miller recovering Thu May 28, 05:43 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered during the 2025 season and is unlikely to do much during offseason workouts, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Miller hasn't played more than eight games in a season throughout his three-year NFL career. The focus right now is simply on getting healthy, staying healthy, and staying on track to return to the field. Miller has certainly shown upside when available, showcasing a burst and physicality that made him an intriguing Day 2 draft pick. However, availability is the best ability, as some say, and that's been the biggest obstacle for him early in his career. The Saints landed former Jacksonville Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. on a four-year deal. He's expected to be the lead back this year. |
Kendre Miller player page
Packers | MarShawn Lloyd needs to earn role Thu May 28, 04:47 PM
Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has looked good so far this offseason, but head coach Matt LaFleur said Lloyd will have to show consistency during offseason workouts and training camp in order to have a role in the offense.
| Footballguys view: The Packers let running back Emanuel Wilson depart in free agency and did not replace him with a pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. That's viewed as a signal of the team's remaining confidence in 2024 Lloyd, who has been limited by injuries to just one appearance since his arrival. The Packers also have Chris Brooks, Pierre Strong Jr., and Damien Martinez behind Josh Jacobs, who is now dealing with off-field issues. One concern: Lloyd is not working fully at this point -- something all involved need to see when training camp opens. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara absent from OTAs Thu May 28, 02:36 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara was not present at OTAs on Thursday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: Kamara sitting out voluntary sessions isn't unusual. As noted by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football on Wednesday, Kamara has been working out with his own trainers in preparation for 2026, as he often does. But given that general manager Mickey Loomis said earlier this month that the team is "trying to see how [Kamara is] gonna fit on our roster," it's notable that Kamara isn't in attendance -- even if it's not out of the ordinary. The team signed former Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. this offseason. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Link to story Jaguars | No clear No. 1 back for Jaguars Wed May 27, 02:27 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RBs Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen are expected to receive playing time this upcoming season, but head coach Liam Coen said the team does not have a No. 1 running back at this point and there will be a competition during training camp for playing time.
| Footballguys view: Tuten was being drafted in the fifth round as RB23 immediately after the NFL Draft. He's RB25 now. Rodriguez is RB45, available in Round 11. For fantasy investors, that's the entire problem in three sentences. The fifth-round price assumes Tuten gets the lion's share -- the carries, the goal-line work, the passing-down snaps -- of the workload. We're not there yet. We'll be following up on this situation often in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. |
Dolphins | De'Von Achane rehabbing Wed May 27, 11:25 AM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) is doing rehab work with trainers at organized team activities. Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Achane missed the final game of the 2025 season because of the injury, and head coach Jeff Hafley said the team will be cautious as they head toward training camp. "You'll see him out there doing some drills and doing some running around," Hafley said. "You will not see him in full team drills." As Profootballtalk.com's Josh Alper noted, the Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health, so Achane should be moving full speed ahead soon enough. |
