Link to story 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. |
Texans | Two placed on injured reserve Sat Aug 15, 01:41 PM
Houston Texans QB Graham Mertz (knee) and RB Josh Pitsenberger (ankle) were placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Aug. 15.
Link to story 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. |

New England Patriots RB Lan Larison and RB Jam Miller are competing for the No. 3 running back job during training camp with RB Terrell Jennings (undisclosed) out for the season.
Link to story Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love pops in preseason Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love rushed 11 times for 58 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Love was as good as advertised, perhaps even better depending on your expectations. With the Cardinals offense also impressing, the chances of him delivering on his ADP near the 2/3 turn in 12-team leagues is going up. He did leave with a minor ankle issue, but head coach Mike LaFleur said Love is "fine" and that he could have returned to the game. This was an alarming amount of work for such a valuable player in the first preseason game, but the Cardinals believe that rookie running backs need more live reps in preseason to prepare them than they have been given in the past. |
Raiders | Ashton Jeanty logs three carries Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty rushed three times for 16 yards in the preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty's offensive line actually helped him in this game, unlike what we saw more of last season. His best run of the night came behind big ticket free agent signing Tyler Linderbaum, which could be a common sight on Sundays this year. Jeanty's risk/reward range matches his late first round ADP. |
Titans | Tony Pollard punches in TD, splits backfield with Spears Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed four times for 22 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Pollard and Tyjae Spears split the backfield, with Spears getting more snaps and the same number of carries, including a 25-yard run. This situation could be an RBBC even though ADP assumes Pollard will be the lead back and Spears the backup. |

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. flashes in preseason Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. rushed six times for 63 yards in the preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Washington's breakaway 53-yard run showed off great vision and footwork to unlock his speed. He has a rare size/speed combination and will be Ashton Jeanty's backup, if not earn more work than expected. Washington will force the coaches' hands if he keeps making highlight reel plays. |
Eagles | Saquon Barkley leaves practice Fri Aug 14, 11:16 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) left practice early Thursday, Aug. 13, and had his ankle checked out by a trainer.
| Footballguys view: Barkley never went to the medical tent, but removed his cleat. Sounds like it's a minor issue, but we will be monitoring closely. Tank Bigsby has a high ceiling if Barkley misses any time this season. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard sidelined Thu Aug 13, 11:25 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) is out of practice Thursday, Aug. 13, due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Panthers HC Dave Canales said he's confident Hubbard will be ready for Week 1. He's considered week-to-week with the hamstring injury. Jonathon Brooks has been dazzling in Panthers camp, and he's set to play in the preseason. The team will use both backs in a committee this year. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks set to play Saturday Wed Aug 12, 01:15 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks is scheduled to play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Both Brooks and Chubba Hubbard are set to play in the team's second preseason game. Brooks missed all of last year due to a knee injury, but he's got the natural talent to be a productive runner in the pros. Current ADP has both backs being drafted near each other. Brooks is going off the board at RB36 (9.10) while Hubbard is RB35 (9.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Dolphins | De'Von Achane looking at heavy workload Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane could have games in which he touches the ball more than 40 times, HC Jeff Hafley said during an interview on the 'The Rich Eisen Show,' on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, Achane said Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik wants to be run-heavy in 2026. That being said, 40 touches is a bit ridiculous for one game....and Achane is unlikely to get that heavy of a workload. Achane did say he wanted to lead the league in rushing this year, and if his body holds up he could be in line to do just that. He's got a current ADP of RB6 (2.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price misses practice again Tue Aug 11, 02:56 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper body soreness) missed his third straight day of practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: While HC Mike Macdonald told reporters Price is going to be hard to keep off the field, the rookie will have to be healthy. That's likely why Macdonald said the team was in no rush to get Price back on the field before the preseason opener. For what it's worth, George Holani is listed as the RB1 on the team's first unofficial depth chart. Price is listed as the RB2. Look for Price to return to practice soon and, assuming the glowing reviews he's been drawing are legitimate, move to the top of the depth chart. |
Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez listed as co-starters Tue Aug 11, 02:53 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez are listed as co-starters on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: HC Liam Coen said last month that the team is expecting Tuten to have a big year for them, but Tuten has not nailed down the top spot on the depth chart. As CBSSports.com reminded readers, preseason depth charts can often be taken with a grain of salt. Still, in this case the "Tuten or Rodriguez" listing aligns with the notion that the Jaguars will employ a committee approach -- possibly resulting in Tuten and Rodriguez forming a 1A/1B combo. Adding to the intrigue, LeQuint Allen could factor in on third downs. Stay tuned. We'll be watching this one closely. |
Packers | Josh Jacobs to miss at least another week Tue Aug 11, 01:24 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will miss 'at least' another week of practice, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs dealt with numerous injuries last season, finishing with 929 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns in 15 games (all starts). He also had 36 receptions for 282 yards and a score. MarShawn Lloyd has been a bright spot in training camp, LaFleur said, and is likely to work with the No. 1 offense in the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. We'll have more on Jacobs as further details come to light. |

Seahawks | Rave reviews for Jadarian Price Tue Aug 11, 11:44 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is going to be hard to keep off of the field, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. Macdonald said Price 'doesn't feel like a rookie' based on his attention to detail and coachability.
| Footballguys view: While HC Mike Macdonald told reporters the running back rotation will feature "two, possibly three guys in a game plan," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler contends Price will be hard to keep off the field. Teammate Julian Love says Price's burst is "like a prime Dalvin Cook." And A.J. Barner added that Price has a knack for following the "track" that blockers create. Seattle likes to spread the wealth at tailback, but Price's profile should only grow as we approach September. |

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins leaves early Mon Aug 10, 02:34 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) left practice early Monday, Aug. 10, because of an undisclosed reason.
| Footballguys view: Dobbins jogged off the field into the locker room with trainers during Monday's training camp practice. Dobbins left about midway through practice and did not return, according to reporters on site. Broncos coach Sean Payton was asked about Dobbins after practice. "Soft tissue; I think he's going to be fine," Payton said. "We're just being smart with it." We'll watch for more, but Dobbins' practice participation could be impacted ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons. |

49ers | No practice for Christian McCaffrey Mon Aug 10, 02:03 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 10, because of tightness.
| Footballguys view: Monday's practice is the first one the 30-year-old RB has missed in this year's camp. As USA Today's Kyle Madson suggested, given McCaffrey's importance to the 49ers, it's not a huge surprise they'd be cautious with any issue he's having. Even general tightness isn't worth pushing on Aug. 10 with a joint practice against the Tennessee Titans looming Tuesday. It's unclear whether McCaffrey will be ready in time to participate in that joint session. We'll follow up, but there's nothing to indicate McCaffrey will be out for any prolonged period. |
