Saints | Devin Neal could be IR candidate Thu Aug 27, 04:49 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) could start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list after recently suffering a hamstring injury, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
| Footballguys view: Neal is a talented reserve back, but injuries have prevented him from playing up to his potential. He needs to get healthy, stay healthy, and show why the team has him as a developmental back behind guys like Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo may stay on PUP list Thu Aug 27, 04:34 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) is a candidate to start the regular season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner.
| Footballguys view: It makes sense for a player who has missed all of training camp with a pectoral injury. The PUP list would require Guerendo to miss the first four weeks of the regular season. After that, the team could open up a practice window for him to see if he can be activated or put on season-ending Injured Reserve. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet could avoid PUP list Thu Aug 27, 04:30 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) may be able to avoid the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list if the team believes he will be able to play in a game before Week 5, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Brady Henderson.
| Footballguys view: Any player on the PUP list must miss the first four weeks of the regular season. It sounds like Charbonnet might be ready to get on the field before then. Now, whether or not he's 100 percent healthy at the time is a different story. The Seahawks open the season with Jadarian Price and George Holani as their top backs. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs formally charged Thu Aug 27, 03:35 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs has been formally charged with two misdemeanors related to his May arrest. The NFL has been monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review, according to Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: The NFL could end up suspending Jacobs once their investigation is concluded. That means Fantasy GMs need to consider Marshawn Lloyd late in drafts. Jacobs has a current ADP of RB16 (5.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. Lloyd is a talented back who has flashed during training camp and the preseason. If he stays healthy (a problem so far in Lloyd's pro career), he could be the lead back for the Packers if/when Jacobs has to miss time. |

Jaguars | Work to do for Bhayshul Tuten? Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten needs to pay faster and trust his reads, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'We've just got to continue to work on his tracks, reading his keys, and just go play,' Coen said. 'Not overthinking where the ball maybe should go or could go, and just stick your foot in the ground and get north because when he does that, and he gets his shoulders square and downhill, it can be impressive.'
| Footballguys view: Coen has previously said the team would use an RBBC approach this season with Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez. Tuten is going off the board at RB28 (6.05) and Rodriguez at RB46 (13.09) in 12-team PPR formats. A second-year back, Tuten has incredible upside as a ball-carrier because of his home-run speed. It sounds like Coen believes the young back has some important things to work on in order to get the most out of his potential. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was scheduled to undergo some tests on the ankle injury he suffered during practice Monday, Aug. 25, according to a source. He did not have any issues walking after the injury.
| Footballguys view: Henderson slipped on the field making a cut in practice and removed himself from the drill. We'll see if these tests reveal anything serious about Henderson's ankle injury. Rhamondre Stevenson and Henderson are set to be in a 50/50 RBBC this season. |
Chiefs | Ankle issue for Kenneth Walker Wed Aug 26, 04:09 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is dealing with a swollen ankle, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: Reid said Walker's shoe caused some swelling around Walker's ankle, but the veteran coach expects his new starting running back to be fine. With Patrick Mahomes coming back from the knee injury that ended his 2025 season, the Chiefs might lean on Walker at the start of the regular season. Walker has a current ADP of RB9 (2.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Dolphins | Miami adding Coleman Bennett Wed Aug 26, 01:15 PM
Free-agent RB Coleman Bennett (Bears) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins Wednesday, Aug. 26. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Cardinals | James Conner uncertain for opener Wed Aug 26, 01:05 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner's (foot) availability for Week 1 is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur said there is no timetable to get Conner out there for 11-on-11 work. That means his Week 1 availability is certainly in question. Conner is coming back from the ankle injury that cut his 2025 season short in Week 3 last year. With a revised contract, the Cardinals can look at Conner (when healthy) as veteran insurance behind Tyler Allgeier and rookie Jeremiyah Love. |

Colts | Time running out on DJ Giddens Wed Aug 26, 12:53 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) will be the 'odd man out' when it comes to the 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Stephen Holder, who notes that Giddens has been slowed by injuries during the preseason and does not offer the same versatility as rookie RB Seth McGowan.
Link to story Colts | Seth McGowan poised to back up Jonathan Taylor Wed Aug 26, 12:41 AM

New Orleans Saints RB Ty Chandler (knee) is expected to miss the 2026 NFL season, according to Saints HC Kellen Moore on Tuesday, Aug, 25.
| Footballguys view: Chandler was not expected to play a large role for the Saints this season, but he was making a case for the 53-man roster before his injury. Chandler returned the opening kick of the Saints' first preseason game for 86 yards to set up a touchdown, and had flashed explosive running ability while working with the second- and third-team offenses during camp. They'll be looking for another return man now. |

Colts | DJ Giddens back at practice Tue Aug 25, 11:25 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 25.
| Footballguys view: Giddens has been sidelined since early this month. That said, it seems he's returning more quickly than initially expected, and the opener against Baltimore is still weeks away. Giddens ran for 96 yards on 26 carries in nine games as a rookie last year. Rookie Seth McGowan may have locked down the RB2 role behind Jonathan Taylor in Giddens' absence. We'll see if that changes between now and Week 1. |
Raiders | More on Ashton Jeanty Tue Aug 25, 10:02 AM
Updating previous reports, Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty's (ankle) injury is believed to be an ankle sprain that is more low than high. There is a chance he's unavailable for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: While Jeanty playing Week 1 against the Dolphins seems overly optimistic at this point, the outlook is clearly improving. Jeanty will certainly sit out Thursday's preseason finale versus the 49ers, and, as CBSSports.com suggests, his status for the start of the regular season will be determined by his ability to get back on the practice field over the next two weeks. It's safe to say we'll all be tracking that closely. Meanwhile, rookie Mike Washington would be in line to serve as the Raiders' feature back if Jeanty ends up sitting out Week 1. |
Jets | Breece Hall on track for Week 1 Tue Aug 25, 01:07 AM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) should be available for the Week 1 game, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Hall was spotted on the sideline working with team trainers during Monday's workout which included Hall running at what seemed like something close to full speed. There is no reason for Hall to get back out there against the Giants in the exhibition finale, but such a positive update is a great sign. Going as RB16 in Round 3, Hall offers a ton of upside. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard should be ready for opener Tue Aug 25, 01:05 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) should be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: All offseason long, the expectation has been that Carolina will have Jonathon Brooks and Hubbard in a timeshare, at least to start the season. Canales confirmed that will indeed be the case, with one back starting a series and the other coming in on third downs. While we're set for a 50-50 split to start the season, we've already seen Canales lean more toward one back if someone is playing better, as we saw with Hubbard and Rico Dowdle last season. So, don't be surprised if one or the other seizes more control of the backfield as the season progresses. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson leaves practice Tue Aug 25, 01:04 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (undisclosed) left practice early Monday, Aug. 24, after slipping while making a cut.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today notes, the extent and exact nature of Henderson's injury was unknown as of Monday night. The second-year running back appeared to have his right ankle/foot area examined by trainers after slipping on the field during practice. Henderson exited practice early after his initial sideline evaluation and went back to the team facility. We'll be watching for more. |
Packers | Josh Jacobs returns to full participation Tue Aug 25, 12:59 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) took part in 11-on-11 work for the first time since injuring his groin on Aug. 6. He had previously returned last week in a limited capacity.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, although Jacobs hasn't practiced fully in more than two weeks while he's been managing the groin injury, the Packers haven't indicated that his availability for the start of the regular season is in any jeopardy. Even if Jacobs upgrades to full practice participation within the next few days, the Packers still could elect to hold him out of Friday's preseason finale versus the Cardinals as a precaution. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Anthony Hankerson was waived Monday, Aug. 24.
Link to story Cardinals | Trey Benson waived/injured Mon Aug 24, 04:35 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was waived/injured Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation's Seth Cox reminded readers, Benson has struggled to stay healthy in his two seasons in the NFL, and then the Arizona Cardinals spent an absurd amount of resources this offseason to fix the issues with the running back room. It left a crowded space with Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and James Conner at the top of the depth chart. Now, the Cardinals have one less decision to make, and the fact that reserve RB Zonovan Knight didn't play against Dallas on Saturday makes even more sense. We'll be watching to see if Benson catches on with another team. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love out another week Mon Aug 24, 03:53 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making progress in his recovery but will not participate in practice this week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: This is not a surprise. The No. 3 overall pick suffered what's believed to be a high-ankle sprain on the final touch of his exhibition debut against the Raiders two weeks ago. While the Cardinals are hopeful he can return for a Week 1 contest against the Chargers on Sept. 13, there will be no practices in his immediate future. When he was playing, Love looked terrific. His explosiveness and agility jumped off the screen. But expecting a slower start due to this injury would be wise. Love has fallen to RB16 in our latest rankings. |
Saints | Knee injury for Ty Chandler Mon Aug 24, 03:35 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Ty Chandler (knee) is believed to have suffered a serious knee injury during the last preseason game, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, the injury is especially concerning considering the growing number of issues in the team's backfield. Alvin Kamara is expected to miss time with a sprained MCL, while Devin Neal is dealing with a hamstring injury. Kendre Miller also just recently returned after missing time with a back issue. New Orleans did add some insurance Sunday night by acquiring veteran RB Zamir White from the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for linebacker Deion Jones. The move had already made sense given the team's injury situation, but Chandler's potentially significant absence makes the additional depth even more important. |
Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt to sit this week Mon Aug 24, 03:09 PM
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (undisclosed) will work on the side this week because of a lower body injury but is expected back on the field next week.
| Footballguys view: According to local reports, Croskey-Merritt pulled up at the end of a catch-and-run at Thursday's practice, which kept him sidelined for Saturday's preseason game in Detroit. Head coach Dan Quinn told ESPN.com's John Keim that Croskey-Merritt is tending to a lower-body injury and likely will return to practice next week. Meanwhile, fellow RB Rachaad White (hamstring) will be back on the practice field Monday as a limited participant. Croskey-Merritt is currently being drafted as RB38; White is RB40. |
Browns | Quinshon Judkins a limited participant Mon Aug 24, 02:37 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is participating in practice Monday, Aug. 24, on a limited basis.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Judkins missed the final two practices of last week before sitting out Saturday's preseason loss to the Bills due to what coach Todd Monken described as "a little something nagging, nothing big. Even though he's mixing back into drills, it wouldn't be a surprise if the team goes easy on Judkins with Week 1 still nearly three weeks away. |
