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. |

Lions | Isiah Pacheco has sprained MCL Mon Aug 10, 11:40 AM
Detroit Lions RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Dan Campbell suggested Pacheco will miss some time. Campbell said he expects Pacheco to return before Detroit's Week 1 home contest against the New Orleans Saints and that he's "not concerned" about the injury. Expect Pacheco to remain the top backup to Jahmyr Gibbs. Pacheco's primary competition for snaps behind Gibbs, Sione Vaki, is currently sidelined by a broken nose. |
Colts | Ulysses Bentley IV making strong push Sun Aug 9, 05:18 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Ulysses Bentley IV is pushing to make the team as the third running back with RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) nursing a hamstring injury, and struggling when he is on the field.
Link to story Colts | DJ Giddens nursing hamstring injury Sun Aug 9, 05:13 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, allowing rookie RB Seth McGowan to take first- and second-team reps. Giddens has also dropped a few passes in training camp when he has been on the field. RB Ulysses Bentley IV has also made a push for the third job, putting additional pressure on Giddens.
Link to story Colts | Seth McGowan has carved out role Sun Aug 9, 05:06 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Seth McGowan has emerged as the top running back behind RB Jonathan Taylor, as the team likes his bruising running style and soft hands out of the backfield. If he wants to carve out a consistent role, he needs to improve in pass protection.

Many of the players were able to do some work on the side.
| Footballguys view: This is not a complete list of the players who are out because of injuries. The 49ers have not played a preseason game yet. |

Texans | Jawhar Jordan dealing with hip flexor strain Sun Aug 9, 02:09 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan (hip) missed practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to a strained hip flexor, according to league sources. The team is hopeful he'll be able to return in about a week. Jordan has reportedly had a strong camp, as he battles RB Noah Whittington for the No. 3 job behind new starter RB David Montgomery and primary backup RB Woody Marks.
| Footballguys view: Jordan had a 100 yard game late in the season and clicked in the team's running game more than Marks did, so he was a player of note on our waiver wire watch list. Whittington is a swiss army knife back, more like Marks, so if he makes the team as the #3 over Jordan, he's less of a threat to Marks' upside if David Montgomery misses time during the season. |
Packers | Christopher Brooks back at practice Sun Aug 9, 01:45 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks (hamstring) was able to take part in an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9. He was practicing for the first time at training camp after starting on the non-football injury (NFI) list due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Brooks had a chance to seize the backup RB job behind Josh Jacobs after the team let Emanuel Wilson walk as a restricted free agent, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd finally had a healthy offseason after seeing the Meyer Institute of Sport and learning how his recovery from a 2020 ACL tear had him overcompensating still, which caused a myriad of injuries. Lloyd is the back to target late in drafts behind Jacobs, who is dealing with a minor groin issue. |
Seahawks | Minor issue for Jadarian Price Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (legs) is dealing with general leg soreness but is expected to return in a few days, head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: We will take the Seahawks at their word that it is general soreness unless this absence extends for weeks, not days. It is important for Price get as many practice reps as possible because unlike a typical first round running back, he was a backup (to #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love) during his college career. George Holani would have a strong Week 1 outlook if this absence goes on longer than planned. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo logs limited practice Sat Aug 8, 01:14 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (leg) exited practice early Friday, Aug. 7, after stretching his left leg, but head coach John Harbaugh said he didn't think Skattebo was dealing with anything serious.
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh said Skattebo is still "working through the football shape part of... coming off of rehab" from a severe injury and surgery. We'll trust Harbaugh, but also note that Skattebo might not be his usual self early in the season in light of this admission by Harbaugh. |
Seahawks | No practice for Jadarian Price Sat Aug 8, 01:14 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 7, because of an undisclosed reason.
| Footballguys view: The team updated Price's status to missing practice with "lower body soreness". The first-round pick who backed up Arizona Cardinals #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame has done everything you could have hoped to earn trust in the passing game and set himself up for a big Week 1 role. As long as his practice absence isn't extended, Price will remain prominent on the mid-round upside running back picks. |

Saints | Devin Neal exits early Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) did not finish practice Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara's services secured for another season, the Saints have a surplus of running backs behind him and free agent signing Travis Etienne. Neal didn't look out of place on an NFL field after Kamara went down last year before his season ended with a hamstring injury. It's not clear yet whether this is the same hamstring that caused a problem last year, but if it is, Neal could be an injured reserve candidate because the team also has Kendre Miller coming back from ACL surgery (but currently sidelined with a back issue), and Audric Estime, a 2024 Broncos fifth round pick who was a pleasant surprise after Neal went down last year. |

Jets | Isaiah Davis to miss a few weeks Thu Aug 6, 04:40 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |
Lions | Sione Vaki to miss time Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Detroit Lions RB Sione Vaki (nose) will miss time after suffering a broken nose during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to head coach Dan Campbell. 'We think he'll be OK,' Campbell said. 'He's just gonna need a minute here. It's just one of those freak things.'
| Footballguys view: Vaki hasn't been able to stay on the field enough to push Isiah Pacheco for snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs yet. This injury shouldn't affect Vaki for long, but it still solidifies Pacheco's status as the #2 running back after some speculated that Vaki could threaten his hold on the job. |

Raiders | Dare Ogunbowale signs with Las Vegas Thu Aug 6, 02:33 PM
Free agent RB Dare Ogunbowale (Texans) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 6. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Ogunbowale is accomplished passing down back and he can also contribute on special teams. This complicates the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty, but fourth round size/speed back Mike Washington Jr. is still the favorite to get early down work if Jeanty goes down. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs misses practice Thu Aug 6, 02:26 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. The injury isn't considered to be long-term.
| Footballguys view: It's not a serious injury, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd has had an impressive camp - and more importantly stayed healthy so far after two injury-riddled seasons in the NFL. Jacobs could have more company in the backfield than he has in the past, and it's fair to wonder if he is wearing down after logging at least 260 touches in each of the first seven years of his career. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor extended Thu Aug 6, 09:09 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor agreed to a two-year, $44 million extension Thursday, Aug. 6. The deal includes $39 million guaranteed and is worth a maximum of $47 million.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is essential to the team's success, and this is a strong sign that the team agrees. He's a first round pick in fantasy leagues, but James Cook is breathing down his neck to be the next running back off of the board after Christian McCaffrey. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will not play in Hall of Fame game Tue Aug 4, 02:49 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will not play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, Aug. 6. Brooks has not played for the Panthers since December of 2024.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers selected Brooks in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. But a pair of ACL tears, one while at the University of Texas and the other during his rookie season in Carolina, has limited him to just three games since. Brooks, however, has received rave reviews throughout what's been his first full NFL offseason -- and seems encouraged by his progress. Fantasy investors are encouraged, too. Brooks' ADP has risen to RB37, which is up considerably over the last month. |
Falcons | Bijan Robinson extended Tue Aug 4, 09:25 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson received a three-year extension Tuesday, Aug. 4, worth up to $75 million that will make him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $51 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Robinson had been holding in since the first day of training camp last Wednesday. Now under contract with the Falcons through 2030, Robinson should return Tuesday afternoon. He led the NFL in scrimmage yards last season (2,298) and was fourth in rushing yards (1,478). His 93-yard rushing touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams was the longest in the NFL last season. Robinson is currently being drafted as RB2. But with the current RB1, Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, still holding in, it'll be interesting to see if investors gain a bit more confidence in Robinson in the short term. |

Seahawks | George Holani working ahead of Emanuel Wilson Tue Aug 4, 02:23 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani is currently looking like one of the top two options at running back alongside rookie RB Jadarian Price, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson, who writes that RB Emanuel Wilson would be mixed in as a 'powerful complement.'
| Footballguys view: It's not known when Zach Charbonnet will be ready to play or how the work will be split up once last year's co-starter returns after having ACL surgery in February. In the meantime, Holani, Price, and Wilson are all competing for their share of what's likely to be a three-player backfield committee. We'll be watching this backfield closely all month as we try to gain insight into their anticipated roles. Price is currently being drafted as RB26 while Holani is an afterthought at RB66. If Holani's current role persists, that price is a discount. |
Vikings | Jordan Mason in great shape Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM
Jordan Mason showed up to training camp lighter and in great shape, according to offensive coordinator Wesley Phillips and head coach Kevin O'Connell. 'You guys can probably even tell just the way he looks,' O'Connell said. 'He's in unbelievable shape right now.'
| Footballguys view: If you're going to take a Vikings running back, Mason is probably the best pick, but the fact that all are going in the 10th round or later reflects the uncertainty of the split with veteran Aaron Jones, who was brought back on a reduced salary, and sixth round pick Demond Claiborne, who should figure in some as a change of pace to Mason and passing down option along with Jones. If the quarterback play is better than expected and the offensive line stays healthy (unlike last year), Mason could be a modest hit as a touchdown/game script driven RB2/Flex play. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai returns to practice, dealing with soft tissue injury Mon Aug 3, 09:12 AM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (leg) is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson. 'We're taking it day-by-day,' Johnson said. 'It should be on the shorter side.'
| Footballguys view: He returned to practice today, so Johnson's relative lack of concern appears to be appropriate. As long as Monangai doesn't have a recurrence of the injury, this shouldn't change his fantasy outlook. The lack of information did alarm the fantasy community, but now that the absence has been addressed, we can go back to DEFCON 5 on the Monangai injury alert. |
