Seahawks | Jadarian Price returns to full participation in practice Tue Aug 18, 04:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper leg soreness) has reportedly returned to practice on Monday and will still be ramped up for 'unlimited work', according to HC Mike Macdonald on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Price had missed the previous five full practices. The 32nd pick in this year's NFL draft from Notre Dame looked as smooth and decisive on his cuts and running with the ball as he did in the first weeks of his first pro training camp, before the injury. Then, Price was coming into the starting offense in scrimmages after third-year veteran George Holani. That was reversed Monday. It was another indication that Price will be the lead back as Seattle drafted him to be on Sept. 9, when the Seahawks host the New England Patriots. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey could have practiced Tue Aug 18, 03:13 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (muscle tightness) would have practiced on Tuesday, Aug. 18, if they were not joint sessions, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: There has been speculation that McCaffrey's injury is actually a hold-in, but Shanahan cleared the air on the situation. Shanahan said that speculation about McCaffrey not practicing for contract-related reasons "would be wrong." NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the same on Monday night. McCaffrey's recent past -- in particular his injury-marred 2024 season -- makes it hard to take these issues at face value. But with multiple reports suggesting the star running back's absence is for exactly the reason stated, we remain optimistic. Also, we'll be watching closely for reasons not to be. |

Jaguars | LeQuint Allen to miss rest of camp Tue Aug 18, 03:01 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen will miss the rest of training camp after suffering a soft-tissue injury in practice.
| Footballguys view: Even though he's listed behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr., Allen is the best blocker of the bunch and an outstanding pass-catcher. These traits made him a candidate to have an increased role on offense this season. Allen has time to recover for the season opener. If he's back at full strength by then, as expected, he'll be in a position to be a role player in this offense. Not having him would take away one dimension from the passing game, but it might also lead to more work for Tuten. We'll be watching for more. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love will not need surgery Tue Aug 18, 01:55 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will not need surgery on his injured ankle, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: As the Arizona Republic noted, some took LaFleur's answer to mean that surgery had been under consideration for Love, elevating concerns. To be clear, there has been no indication that was the case. LaFleur was responding to a reporter's question, double-checking that Love would not need surgery. When surgery is not required, a typical recovery timeline for this injury is between two and six weeks. The Cardinals kick off their season on Sept. 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers -- one month to the day after Love suffered his injury. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai 'week-to-week' Tue Aug 18, 01:45 PM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) is considered 'week-to-week' from his injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: What remains up in the air is Monangai's status for Week 1. In the short term, Monangai's absence will open the door for more first-team reps for Roschon Johnson and Salvon Ahmed. If Monangai ends up missing time into the regular season, D'Andre Swift, who averaged 16 touches per game last season, could see his touches rise to north of 20 per game. As far as who spells Swift in that scenario is concerned, the most likely option will be Johnson, who worked ahead of Ahmed in preseason Week 1. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs back at practice Tue Aug 18, 10:48 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will return to practice Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs had been sidelined by a groin injury, and the expectation was he would return to work this week. Last season, Jacobs rushed for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. he also caught 36 passes for 282 yards with a TD. Jacobs is being drafted as RB17 at the end of Round 3. It's a fair price if the veteran back is working at full speed in advance of Week 1. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman continues to shine Tue Aug 18, 12:54 AM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman has been 'work[ing] his way up the depth chart' and could have a role in the regular season, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold, who adds that Coleman continues to get reps with the first- and second-team offenses.
| Footballguys view: Coleman played 12 snaps Friday night in Atlanta and had four carries for 24 yards, with his last carry coming with 47 seconds left in the first quarter. HC Sean Payton said he's seen enough from Coleman on the practice field to get the rookie out of the preseason opener that early. "I didn't need additional evidence of what I've been seeing for three weeks," Payton said. We'll be watching for more signs that Coleman is a viable candidate for a contributing role. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai to miss a few weeks Tue Aug 18, 12:25 AM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks because of a hyperextended knee, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Monangai is slated to work behind De'Andre Swift for a second-straight year. Monangai ran for 783 yards and five touchdowns on 169 carries in that role as a rookie. He also caught 18 passes for 164 yards. In the postseason, he added 21 carries for 63 yards and five catches for 58 yards. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Jets | Injury update for Breece Hall Mon Aug 17, 11:24 PM
Updating an earlier report, New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) got confirmation that the groin injury he suffered in practice on Monday, Aug. 17, was minor, per SNY.tv's Connor Hughes, who adds that the team will be cautious with Hall. It's believed he will be ready to go in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Hall's injury during his news conference, calling it a strain and not a big deal. Hall did undergo an MRI after leaving practice early on Monday. He played in New York's first preseason game against Tampa Bay, totaling four carries for 16 yards. In 2025, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns last season and added 36 catches for 350 yards with one touchdown. He's currently being drafted as RB14 in Round 3. |

49ers | Khalil Herbert let go Mon Aug 17, 02:27 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Khalil Herbert was released Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: It's reasonable to believe Herbert's release means the 49ers are satisfied with their health and depth at running back, where the group is talented but dealing with multiple injuries. Christian McCaffrey, who's missed a week due to tightness, Jordan James (ribs), Kaelon Black (adductor), and Isaac Guerendo have all been missing time. |

Giants | Najee Harris visiting Monday Mon Aug 17, 01:44 PM
Free-agent RB Najee Harris (Chargers) is meeting with the New York Giants Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Harris, 28, suffered a torn Achilles tendon while playing for the Chargers under Jim Harbaugh in 2025. The former first-round pick was able to play just three games before his injury. As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, John Harbaugh also knows what it's like to go against Harris well, with the running back playing the Ravens twice a year from 2021-2024 while with the Steelers. The Giants already have Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary at the top of their current depth chart. We'll see how Harris fits if he signs. |

Jets | Breece Hall injures groin Mon Aug 17, 10:25 AM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) suffered a groin strain Monday, Aug. 17, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Hall will be evaluated, but Glenn didn't think it was a major deal.
| Footballguys view: Glenn added that Hall will undergo imaging tests to ensure the Jets have the right answers about his injury. "We will try to be precautionary with a lot of those," Allen said, "to make sure that we do the right things." Hall played in New York's first preseason game against Tampa Bay, registering four carries for 16 yards. One of the Jets' best offensive players, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns and had 36 catches for 350 yards with one TD in 2205. A healthy Hall, going at RB14, could exceed expectations this year. |

The team was not wearing pads, and Jarrett appeared to realize it mid-tackle, attempting to hold the back up. A trained tested Monangai's knee on the field, and he was helped off, but no cart was needed.

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon II benched after penalty Sun Aug 16, 04:44 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II was pulled from the preseason game Friday, Aug. 14, against the Washington Commanders after taking an unsportsmanlike penalty. 'Had a talk with him immediately and pulled him out of the game, eventually let him go back in. As far as the conversation goes, I'll keep that between us. It was a great time to teach the team a lesson and Ollie a lesson.' head coach Jeff Hafley said. 'We had an opportunity to continue a drive; post-snap penalties like that are not acceptable to me. It's disrespectful to the team. It's selfish.'

Chiefs | Emmett Johnson busy Saturday Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Emmett Johnson rushed 12 times for 59 yards and caught three passes for 10 yards during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: This was exactly the kind of performance Johnson needed to show the Chiefs that he is capable of being the primary backup to Ken Walker III as a rookie. With Walker's injury history, that role would make Johnson worth drafting in most redraft leagues. We'll be keeping tabs on this situation, but there's a trend starting towards Johnson in motion now. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks logs four touches Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks rushed three times for five yards and caught a nine-yard pass during the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The most important outcome here is that Brooks didn't get hurt in his first live game action. Chuba Hubbard is already week-to-week with a hamstring injury, so Brooks could start Week 1 against the mediocre Bears runs defense. Brooks didn't pop any big gains or look like an impressive talent, but the line did him no favors. Nothing from this game should push him down from the new higher ADP he has after Hubbard got hurt in practice this week, but nothing from this game should push him higher either. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo back on the field Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo rushed four times for 19 yards during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo showed no ill effects from the dislocated ankle that he had surgically repaired last year. His "co-starter" Tyrone Tracy whiffed on a block and got his quarterback blown up, so we should probably start projecting Skattebo as the starter and worthy of his mid-fourth round ADP, if not higher. |

Seahawks | Two key offensive players did not suit up Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (coach's decision) and RB Jadarian Price (upper leg) did not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: Price's leg issue isn't serious, but the team said he would be only be out a matter of days more than a week ago. George Holani started and got extensive work in the first half, and he should be on your late round target watch list until we see Price return to practice. |

Cardinals | No timetable for James Conner Sat Aug 15, 02:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (foot) is still making progress in his recovery from a foot injury, but head coach Mike LaFluer said there is no timetable for when Conner will participate in team drills.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals have a jam-packed backfield when everyone is healthy, so many have speculated that Conner could be available via trade for a team in need of a veteran presence at the running back position. Conner is currently behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart - and he's competing with Trey Benson for the no.3 spot. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 3 last year, and Conner has been steadily working his way back since then. |

Colts | Seth McGowan may be in line for No. 2 RB job Sat Aug 15, 02:24 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Seth McGowan seems to be the clear favorite for the No. 2 running back job at this point since RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) is sidelined with an injury, in the opinion of ColtsWire's Paul Bretl.
| Footballguys view: Giddens had been tracking as the no.2 back behind Jonathan Taylor this offseason, but now he's likely lost that spot. McGowan, a seventh-round pick who finished his college career at Kentucky, runs with vision and decisiveness. He needs to work on his receiving and pass-blocking skills to truly play up to his potential in the pros. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial if you've drafted Taylor. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love out at least a week Sat Aug 15, 01:15 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will be sidelined this week because of the ankle injury he suffered during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13, and will be reevaluated after the week is over, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: The team is going to evaluate after next week, and there's no telling if Love is going to be available for the team's third preseason game that week. The rookie has been flashing in camp and the preseason as the team's starter. If this ankle injury lingers, Tyler Allgeier could be more involved to begin the regular season. Stay tuned. |
