Eagles | Executives split on Saquon Barkley's trade value as Eagles may test market Wed Oct 28, 11:55 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is among the players Philadelphia may shop ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, as executives around the league believe the 2-5 Eagles will look to offload at least some contracts and clear cap space. One AFC executive said Barkley's lingering hamstring injury and the back injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Cowboys will likely hamper his value, since teams more often trade for running backs to help in the same year. Two NFC executives debated Barkley's value, one thinking it could reach as high as an early second-round pick while the other estimated it closer to a fourth. DT Moro Ojomo, TE Dallas Goedert and CB Riq Woolen were also named as players the Eagles may test the market for.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad. |

Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier was not on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice. He was among a handful of Arizona players absent during the viewing window ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier ran the ball eight times for 19 yards in the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Broncos, plus he had three catches for 30 yards. He's barely getting more work than Bam Knight, and Allgeier hasn't been much of a fantasy factor. We see him as a flex play if Jeremiyah Love has to miss more time. |

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Browns visit the Steelers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Sampson played on offense last week for the first time in 2026, coming back from this knee injury. In Week 7, he had six rushes for 45 yards in the win against the Titans, adding three catches for 32 yards. Sampson is a flex play as the clear-cut receiving back for the Browns offense. |

Eagles RB Dameon Pierce is heading to injured reserve. Pierce joins RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on IR, while RB1 Saquon Barkley is dealing with back and hamstring injuries. Pierce was injured in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Cowboys after taking on more of the workload with Barkley on a limited "pitch count" in his return.
| Footballguys view: Things are so thin behind Barkley -- and that's even if he's healthy enough to play. Behind Barkley is Jaydon Blue, and Elijah Mitchell is on the Eagles' practice squad. |

The Texans were awarded RB Emari Demercado off waivers from the Cowboys on Wednesday. The beat writer called the claim "not a good sign for availability of David Montgomery (groin) after bye week." Texans RB Montgomery was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Giants with the groin injury, and Houston is on its bye in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: The addition of Demercado could indicate the team doesn't think Montgomery will be ready after the bye. We'll see what the Texans' practice reports look like next week. |

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs did not participate in practice on Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Gibbs ran for 116 yards in Sunday's win over the Packers.
| Footballguys view: The Lions could be giving Gibbs a bit of rest here. We're not overly concerned with his availability in Week 8 at this time. Let's see what Gibbs can do on Friday at the latest as the team prepares for a Week 8 contest against the Vikings. |

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell (hip) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report. Gainwell was questionable to return with the hip injury during last Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was in the weight room on a bike at the start of Wednesday's practice as the team went through stretching. Chicago had the same absences on Wednesday as it did on Tuesday, when Monangai did not practice.
| Footballguys view: The Bears play the Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 8. That means we won't see an official injury report until Thursday. We'll know more about Monangai's status at that time. |

Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Wednesday as the team began preparations for Sunday's Week 8 game at Tampa Bay. Robinson missed last Sunday's win over the 49ers, when RB Khalil Herbert was elevated to the game day roster and served as RB Bijan Robinson's backup. Herbert got a couple of carries that were impactful within drives that resulted in points.

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said on Wednesday that RB Josh Jacobs "didn't play as much as he normally would had he been here this whole time" in Sunday's loss to the Lions. "He's been out for a while. Getting him back in the swing of things," Stenavich said of Jacobs' workload. Jacobs was activated from exempt status on Saturday ahead of that game.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs is going to get more work as he continues to get back into football shape. We see him leading the team in touches from the backfield, and that makes him a borderline RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Vikings RB Aaron Jones will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones aggravated his knee injury in Sunday's win over the Colts and was called day to day on Monday after an MRI. He had been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor does not need to request a move; teams should be circling around the Colts to see if they can add him via trade. With Quenton Nelson traded to the Seahawks on Tuesday, the floodgates could open as the Colts are sellers. Taylor is still a great back, and he could be a foundational player going forward. However, he could be seen as someone the Colts trade away to get more assets. |
Jonathan Taylor player page
Ravens rookie RB Adam Randall returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. Randall was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return before the regular season. The fifth-round pick from Clemson, a converted wide receiver, played in two preseason games, totaling 17 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown plus four catches for 47 yards on six targets. Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali lead the running back room.
| Footballguys view: Hill is the primary backup to Henry. Randall is a converted wide receiver who can be a threat on all three downs. When back on the active roster, Randall will be an option as the No. 3 back behind Hill and Henry. We appreciate him in dynasty formats. |

Jets RB Braelon Allen (ankle) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Allen ran for 104 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears was not at practice on Wednesday. Spears was questionable for last Sunday's game against the Browns with a knee injury.

Jets RB Breece Hall will be limited in practice on Wednesday. Hall missed Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a quad injury. The Jets host the Raiders in Week 8 on Sunday.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo indicated his hamstring was OK after Sunday's win over the Texans, and the team has its Week 8 bye to recover. With RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s surprise placement on IR on Tuesday, the beat writer's view is to 'wait and see where he's at' when the Giants return to practice next week; Skattebo missed chunks of time last offseason with a hamstring injury. The backfield was shaping up as an even split before Tracy left with a hamstring injury in the second quarter, with Skattebo at 14 snaps to Tracy's 11 at that point. As the game progressed, RB Devin Singletary took over as the third-down back while mixing in on early downs.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was not on the practice field when the team returned to practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Monangai was ruled out of last Thursday's win over the Patriots. Because they play against the Seahawks in Seattle on Monday night this week, the Bears will not release their first injury report until Thursday. We'll be following up as needed. |
Kyle Monangai player page
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor "isn't a lock to be traded," and a deal is "as of now, looking like a no."
| Footballguys view: The Colts, who dealt OL Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks earlier Tuesday, "surely aren't done" making moves, "but that doesn't mean everything must go," with ESPN's Adam Schefter sharing the same view on Taylor. There are "still two weeks left for things and minds to change" before the trade deadline. |

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is being placed on injured reserve with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Texans, GM Joe Schoen told reporters during his bye-week press conference on Tuesday. Schoen said it is not a long-term injury, but Tracy will miss four games.
| Footballguys view: Cam Skattebo is dealing with a minor hamstring issue that is expected to heal over the off week. Assuming he's fully healthy, Skattebo could benefit from more work in the passing game, in addition to the slight bump in snaps that is also likely to come. Devin Singletary will also benefit. |

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love will be back at practice on Wednesday, head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday. Love has missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Love injured his right ankle in the preseason. He played through his left ankle injury, which he sustained in Week 4, before the Cardinals shut him down to let it heal. Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier have replaced Love in the backfield. Love has 67 carries for 245 yards and a touchdown, and 11 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown. |
Jeremiyah Love player page
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has a mild hamstring strain, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday. The team believes McCaffrey will be fine coming out of the bye. "We're pretty optimistic," Shanahan said.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was hurt in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons, returned to the field after warming up before the third quarter, and said after the game, "I know I'll be alright." We'll be watching for more, but the real clarity will come when San Francisco hits the field to begin their Week 9 preparations. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said his back flared up on his first run of Monday's loss to the Cowboys, noting that sometimes you overcompensate when dealing with a different injury. Barkley said his hamstring came out fine and he doesn't expect the back to keep him out. "Just can't find a way to finish the game. But yeah, banged up a little bit," Barkley said.
| Footballguys view: Barkley returned from a two-game absence only to be limited -- he spent time in the medical tent, on the exercise bike, and stretching on the sidelines. Still, he was effective. Barkley had seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for nine yards before the back injury sidelined him. Barkley became the first starter in the last 20 seasons to play at least nine offensive snaps in a game and get a touch on all of them. The Eagles play the Commanders in Week 8. We'll have more on Barkley in coming days. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 25 times for 155 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 38-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 15.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.5.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was not even holding his helmet on the sideline late in Monday night's game against the Cowboys and does not look like he will return. Barkley had been listed as questionable to return after adding a back injury to a hamstring issue.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley now has a back injury in addition to his hamstring injury during Monday night's game against the Cowboys. He is questionable to return. Barkley had come back for the second half after leaving with the hamstring issue before returning to the bench limping.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley spent time in the blue medical tent during Monday's game against the Cowboys before coming out and stretching on the sideline. Barkley, who was questionable for the game with a hamstring injury, had been seen limping on the sideline earlier in the game before returning to begin the second quarter.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley returned to the game to begin the second quarter of Monday's game against the Cowboys. Barkley had been on the sideline for seven consecutive plays, standing with Jemal Singleton, and was not being evaluated by the training staff. Barkley entered the game questionable with a hamstring injury.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson did not practice on Monday as the team managed the workload of several veterans during a bonus practice day following a weekend off.
| Footballguys view: TE Hunter Henry, CB Marcus Jones, DE Dre'Mont Jones, LB Christian Elliss, LB Robert Spillane, S Kevin Byard, and OT Morgan Moses were also absent. We'll keep a close eye on practice reports when the team gets back on the field Wednesday. |

The Seahawks will open the 21-day practice window for rookie RB Jadarian Price this week, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday. Price has been on injured reserve with a chest injury. There was no word on his status for next Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Seattle will likely make the transaction official Thursday, when the team will hold its first practice ahead of next Monday's game against the Bears. With the 21-day window, the team won't rush a decision on his return. Whenever he's activated, Price could be part of a backfield committee with Zach Charbonnet (knee) -- who appears to be trending toward making his 2026 debut versus Chicago -- and potentially Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. |

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. had been playing with a sprained left MCL since Week 2 before suffering a knee injury in Sunday's win over the Colts. The latest knee injury is not considered significant at this time, and a source described Jones as "day to day," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: While the news is positive, Jones will continue to deal with this injury. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday and was likely to play a more robust role in the coming weeks regardless of Jones' health. Expect that trend to continue when the Vikings take on the Lions in Week 8. |

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins had 3 carries for 15 yards on Denver's first drive of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, then just 3 carries for 8 yards over the team's final nine drives.
| Footballguys view: Rookie RB Jonah Coleman, back from injured reserve, led the Broncos' running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%). RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and Dobbins 14. The good news is Dobbins salvaged his day with a goal-line touchdown run. While Dobbins will still have some value, Coleman appears to be on a path to lead this backfield down the stretch. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley continues to "trend in the right direction" to play Monday night against the Cowboys. Barkley is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury after a full practice on Saturday.

Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman led the team's running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%) in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, his first game back after being activated from injured reserve. RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and RB J.K. Dobbins played 14.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus reminded readers, Coleman, in his first game back from a stint on IR, led the backfield in snaps on early downs, third downs, and in short-yardage situations. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry, compared to 3.8 for Dobbins and 2.0 for Harvey. However, Harvey scored a receiving touchdown, while Dobbins handled the team's lone goal-line snap and turned it into a rushing touchdown. Given the workload, Coleman is a clear top waiver-wire target this week in any league where he remains available. |

Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II played 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 7 win over the Jets. RB Jaylen Wright played eight snaps. Gordon ran for 103 yards and a touchdown in the game.
| Footballguys view: Wright suffered a quad injury late in the third quarter and was unable to return, but Gordon has been the featured back for Miami since De'Von Achane's season-ending injury, playing 71% of snaps from Weeks 3-5. While part of that has been Gordon playing well, some of that has also been Wright dealing with a foot injury. Gordon ended Sunday with 25 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown. As Pro Football Focus suggests, he will remain a must-start option at running back until someone steps up and takes some of Gordon's playing time. |

Browns RBs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson handled all of the work in the backfield in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans, their first game back. Judkins ran for 96 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus suggested, the Browns' running back distribution resembles what most people expected heading into the season. Judkins was the lead back on early downs, dominating short-yardage and goal-line snaps, while Sampson was the principal backup and clear passing-down back. Judkins remains the fantasy-viable option and was especially effective Sunday, hitting new season-high marks for rushing yards and TDs while tearing through Tennessee's defense for 96 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries, providing Cleveland's offense with a much-needed running threat to balance the unit. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson ran 24 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 15 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He was projected for 10.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.0.

Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum ran 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 8 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 8.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.6.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 29 times for 116 yards, also caught 5 passes for 27 yards on 6 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 24.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.8.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. will have an MRI on his knee on Monday. The hope is that the injury won't be a long-term one.
| Footballguys view: Jones made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Colts after a 17-yard gain in the fourth quarter. He ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target before aggravating an existing injury. Jordan Mason, who averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday, will be available to pick up any slack. |

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s hamstring injury did not seem like anything serious after Sunday's win over the Texans. Tracy left the game with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. The Giants head into their bye with multiple players dealing with apparently minor issues. We'll be monitoring their status as developments warrant. |

Giants RB Cam Skattebo felt his hamstring on his long run in overtime of Sunday's win over the Texans, but he avoided straining it.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards. He was RB11 through Sunday's late-afternoon window. As The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported, the mood in the Giants' locker room after the game was one of relief that the bye is here, with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. We'll be following up on all of them as developments warrant. |

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey said after Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons that he was confident his thigh injury is not a long-term issue. "It sucks because it feels like I was going on a run there and then my leg just died on me. Tried to get it going for the whole rest of the game. I know I'll be alright," McCaffrey said. He had returned to the field in uniform to start the second half.
| Footballguys view: "Just died on me" doesn't sound great, but the bye is coming at a perfect time. McCaffrey hasn't been a truly elite fantasy back this season, but he has delivered a solid fantasy RB1 for the mid-first-round pick it took to land him, which is just fine. We'll monitor the 49ers beat for any additional information on his injury during the bye. |

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty made an impressive catch during Sunday's game against the Rams and looked "a little shaken up" after the play. Jeanty went right back into the huddle.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo said after Sunday's win over the Texans that he felt something in his hamstring on the run that set up RB Devin Singletary's game-winning touchdown. Skattebo said he was not sliding on purpose, but knew the Giants were in field-goal range so he slid. "Good thing we have a bye week," Skattebo said.

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran stronger as the game went on, and his 42-yard run in overtime set up the Giants to win before Devin Singletary finished the game with a 30-yard touchdown run. It looked like Skattebo did pull up on that last run, but he should be okay for Week 9 after the Giants' bye next week because he said he did not strain his hamstring, and the bye comes at a good time. Skattebo's value is back up with this strong performance by the whole offense, even if he is banged up and the Texans defense isn't what it used to be. |
