Raiders | Ashton Jeanty leaves practice early, serious injury feared Sun Aug 23, 05:41 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (knee) left practice early Sunday, Aug. 23, after suffered an apparent right knee injury. He was attempting a diving catch during the team period, he landed awkwardly, and he was helped off the field by trainers. He also unable to put any pressure on the right leg.
| Footballguys view: The team took a knee and by some accounts some prayers were made. It's not clear yet the nature of the injury, but fantasy drafts are still going on and we aren't scheduled to hear from head coach Klint Kubiak until Tuesday. If you are drafting before we get a clear update, backup RB Mike Washington Jr has been a preseason sensation and should be on your radar around the 7th round, while that is also the earliest you should consider Jeanty, with an emphasis on the conservative side of risk/reward here. We will keep you updated as soon as we know more about this developing situation. |
Vikings | Demond Claiborne, Zavier Scott in heated battle Sun Aug 23, 05:03 PM
Minnesota Vikings RBs Demond Claiborne and Zavier Scott are in a heated battle in training camp for a spot on the 53-man roster. Claiborne has blazing speed, but he has had issues fumbling and catching the ball. Scott is more polished, and his experience is key, plus Scott worked on special teams last season.

Seahawks | Jadarian Price won't play in preseason Sun Aug 23, 02:41 PM
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.'
| Footballguys view: Price has gotten enough endorsements from the coaching staff to expect him to be a lead back for Week 1. It's not clear when Zach Charbonnet will be back from his postseason ACL tear, but the first half of the season in play. Until then, Price will probably be more valuable than Charbonnet or Ken Walker III were when they split the work in the Seahawks backfield last year. |
49ers | Christian McCaffrey back on practice field Sun Aug 23, 02:20 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (muscle tightness) was able to practice Sunday, Aug. 23, for the first time in a little more than two weeks.
| Footballguys view: If you were worried that this absence was ominous in the same way his absence from camp was in 2024 (despite reasasurances), you can rest easy now. |

Updating 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.

Saints | Devin Neal tweaks hamstring Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
New 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. |
Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. handles nine touches Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
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. |
49ers | Jordan James back at practice Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
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. |
Ravens | Multiple RBs not playing Saturday Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
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. |

Link to story Seahawks | George Holani works with starters Sat Aug 22, 03:49 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani worked with the first-team offense during practice Friday, Aug. 21, since RB Jadarian Price (undisclosed) is still recovering from soreness.
| Footballguys view: The News Tribune's Gregg Bell reports that Price did not practice on Friday due to "lower-body soreness." The Seahawks play against the Titans on Sunday, and Holani should get the starter's workload. Holani, Emanuel Wilson and Velus Jones will get more work if Price is out of action for their second preseason game. |
49ers | Patrick Taylor injury update Sat Aug 22, 01:37 PM
Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers RB Patrick Taylor (groin) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of an adductor injury he suffered during practice.
| Footballguys view: The team signed Khalil Herbert in a corresponding move. Taylor ran 39 times for 183 yards and a touchdown with the 49ers in 2024. That year he suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery which required him to miss all of the 2025 season. The 49ers brought him back earlier this year, and he was competing for a spot as a reserve back and special teams player. |

Saints | Audric Estime has chance to make team Sat Aug 22, 01:23 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Audric Estime (ankle) has a good chance to make the 53-man roster if he is able to recover from his injury, in the opinion of SaintsWire's John Sigler.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara (knee) out for around a month, the Saints are looking to establish a pecking order for reserve backs behind starter Travis Etienne. Estime finished last year strong with the Saints, and he brings more power to the field than the other backs on the roster. He's competing with guys like Kendre Miller and Devin Neal when healthy. |

NFL | Nick Chubb hangs up his cleats Sat Aug 22, 11:43 AM
Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Texans) announced his retirement from the NFL Friday, Aug. 21.
| Footballguys view: When at his peak, Chubb was one of the best backs in the NFL. A four-time Pro Bowl running back, Chubb had four 1,000-yard seasons with the Browns. He finishes his career with 7,349 rushing yards, 141 receptions, 1,109 receiving yards, and 59 (54 rushing, five receiving) total touchdowns. |

Houston Texans RB Woody Marks rushed four times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for six yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Marks was excellent and looked like a back deserving of more work than a typical #2 back and the Texans run game pushed the Raiders around. That's good for Marks, Montgomery, and De'Von Achane and Malik Willis, who face the Raiders along with their Dolphin teammates in Week 1. Montgomery was rested as an entrenched starter would be, so don't worry about this performance lowering his value. |
Giants | Najee Harris will contribute Fri Aug 21, 10:42 AM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris was brought in under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor, even though a source told ESPN he signed a one-year minimum salary $1.215 million deal with no guaranteed money. The Giants' signing of Harris wasn't in direct response to RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s preseason gaffe. The team had been in contact with Harris' representative for months, and the workout was scheduled last week, sources told ESPN.
| Footballguys view: Tyrone Tracy was listed as the first team back along with Cam Skattebo on the first depth chart, so the Giants weren't sold on Skattebo being a true lead back yet early in the preseason. It's not a stretch to see Harris as the #2 back behind Skattebo, and taking more work from him than Tracy would have. Harris is on the borderline of draftable in typical leagues, and Skattebo is a shakier fourth round pick. |

49ers | Eight carries for Kaelon Black Fri Aug 21, 01:32 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black ran the ball eight times for 33 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Black also had some excellent pass blocking reps in a great sign for his chances to be the #2 back behind Christian McCaffrey to open the season. His main competition, Jordan James, is still out with a rib injury. McCaffrey has been missing practice with "soreness" that some have speculated is contract driven. We don't see a reason to move McCaffrey down yet (but we felt that way two years ago) but we do see a reason to move Black onto our list of late round targets. |
49ers | Sincere McCormick has productive night Fri Aug 21, 01:23 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Sincere McCormick had six carries for a game-high 53 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Aug. 20.
Link to story Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. impresses again Fri Aug 21, 12:36 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. carried the ball nine times for a game-high 56 yards against the Houston Texans on Thursday, Aug. 20. Washington also caught a pair of passes for 18 yards.
| Footballguys view: Washington is moving up fantasy draft boards with each passing week and big run in the preseason. Ashton Jeanty is still worth a pick at ADP near the 1-2 turn of drafts on the hopes that the Raiders running game becomes functional under Klint Kubiak, but Washington has exceeded expectations already, showing patience, vision, and footwork to get his rare size/speed combination into play at the second and third levels. He is one of the most valuable backups to take in redraft leagues and his dynasty value is definitely into the first round of remaining rookie drafts. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (shoulder) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 20.

Browns | Minor injury for Quinshon Judkins Thu Aug 20, 05:08 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is dealing with a nagging injury, but head coach Todd Monken said the team is not worried about the injury.

Commanders | Rachaad White suffers hamstring injury Thu Aug 20, 11:37 AM
Washington Commanders RB Rachaad White (hamstring) reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during the Commanders' joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: White will likely miss this Saturday's preseason game with the Detroit Lions, but the injury is not considered a long-term issues. Reports indicate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is flashing enough as a pass catcher this offseason to position himself for the largest role in the backfield. The group is a bit of a cluster-you-know-what, but Croskey-Merritt is the highest-drafted of the group (RB40). The Commanders' backfield is battling a few injuries right now with White (hamstring), Jeremy McNichols (quad), and Jerome Ford (hamstring) all banged up. |

49ers | Kaelon Black returns Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, taking part in a joint session with the Los Angeles Chargers.
| Footballguys view: This gives Black an edge over Jordan James because James is still sidelined with a rib injury. Christian McCaffrey has been missing practice with soreness, which could include his feeling about his contract after seeing Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson's new deals. Black was impressive early in camp and should be back on your late round target list. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) participated in practice Wednesday, Aug. 19, after being sidelined for a few days.
| Footballguys view: This injury issue is behind him, but Pollard was in what appeared to be a committee backfield with Tyjae Spears in the preseason opener, which is not what fantasy football rankings assume right now. If you are going to dabble in the Titans backfield, Spears is available for free late in drafts and is the better pick at cost as long as he can stay healthy. |
