Jets | Breece Hall on track for Week 1 Tue Aug 25, 01:07 AM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) should be available for the Week 1 game, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Hall was spotted on the sideline working with team trainers during Monday's workout which included Hall running at what seemed like something close to full speed. There is no reason for Hall to get back out there against the Giants in the exibition finale, but such a positive update is a great sign. Going as RB16 in Round 3, Hall offers a ton of upside. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard should be ready for opener Tue Aug 25, 01:05 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) should be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: All offseason long, the expectation has been that Carolina will have Jonathon Brooks and Hubbard in a timeshare, at least to start the season. Canales confirmed that will indeed be the case, with one back starting a series and the other coming in on third downs. While we're set for a 50-50 split to start the season, we've already seen Canales lean more toward one back if someone is playing better, as we saw with Hubbard and Rico Dowdle last season. So, don't be surprised if one or the other seizes more control of the backfield as the season progresses. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson leaves practice Tue Aug 25, 01:04 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (undisclosed) left practice early Monday, Aug. 24, after slipping while making a cut.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today notes, the extent and exact nature of Henderson's injury was unknown as of Monday night. The second-year running back appeared to have his right ankle/foot area examined by trainers after slipping on the field during practice. Henderson exited practice early after his initial sideline evaluation and went back to the team facility. We'll be watching for more. |
Packers | Josh Jacobs returns to full participation Tue Aug 25, 12:59 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) took part in 11-on-11 work for the first time since injuring his groin on Aug. 6. He had previously returned last week in a limited capacity.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, although Jacobs hasn't practiced fully in more than two weeks while he's been managing the groin injury, the Packers haven't indicated that his availability for the start of the regular season is in any jeopardy. Even if Jacobs upgrades to full practice participation within the next few days, the Packers still could elect to hold him out of Friday's preseason finale versus the Cardinals as a precaution. |

Cardinals | Trey Benson waived/injured Mon Aug 24, 04:35 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was waived/injured Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation's Seth Cox reminded readers, Benson has struggled to stay healthy in his two seasons in the NFL, and then the Arizona Cardinals spent an absurd amount of resources this offseason to fix the issues with the running back room. It left a crowded space with Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and James Conner at the top of the depth chart. Now, the Cardinals have one less decision to make, and the fact that reserve RB Zonovan Knight didn't play against Dallas on Saturday makes even more sense. We'll be watching to see if Benson catches on with another team. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love out another week Mon Aug 24, 03:53 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making progress in his recovery but will not participate in practice this week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: This is not a surprise. The No. 3 overall pick suffered what's believed to be a high-ankle sprain on the final touch of his exhibition debut against the Raiders two weeks ago. While the Cardinals are hopeful he can return for a Week 1 contest against the Chargers on Sept. 13, there will be no practices in his immediate future. When he was playing, Love looked terrific. His explosiveness and agility jumped off the screen. But expecting a slower start due to this injury would be wise. Love has fallen to RB16 in our latest rankings. |
Saints | Knee injury for Ty Chandler Mon Aug 24, 03:35 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Ty Chandler (knee) is believed to have suffered a serious knee injury during the last preseason game, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, the injury is especially concerning considering the growing number of issues in the team's backfield. Alvin Kamara is expected to miss time with a sprained MCL, while Devin Neal is dealing with a hamstring injury. Kendre Miller also just recently returned after missing time with a back issue. New Orleans did add some insurance Sunday night by acquiring veteran RB Zamir White from the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for linebacker Deion Jones. The move had already made sense given the team's injury situation, but Chandler's potentially significant absence makes the additional depth even more important. |
Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt to sit this week Mon Aug 24, 03:09 PM
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (undisclosed) will work on the side this week because of a lower body injury but is expected back on the field next week.
| Footballguys view: According to local reports, Croskey-Merritt pulled up at the end of a catch-and-run at Thursday's practice, which kept him sidelined for Saturday's preseason game in Detroit. Head coach Dan Quinn told ESPN.com's John Keim that Croskey-Merritt is tending to a lower-body injury and likely will return to practice next week. Meanwhile, fellow RB Rachaad White (hamstring) will be back on the practice field Monday as a limited participant. Croskey-Merritt is currently being drafted as RB38; White is RB40. |
Browns | Quinshon Judkins a limited participant Mon Aug 24, 02:37 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is participating in practice Monday, Aug. 24, on a limited basis.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Judkins missed the final two practices of last week before sitting out Saturday's preseason loss to the Bills due to what coach Todd Monken described as "a little something nagging, nothing big. Even though he's mixing back into drills, it wouldn't be a surprise if the team goes easy on Judkins with Week 1 still nearly three weeks away. |
Steelers | Israel Mukuamu on injured reserve Mon Aug 24, 02:02 PM

Vikings | Demond Claiborne, Zavier Scott in heated battle Mon Aug 24, 12:12 AM
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.
| Footballguys view: As long-time Vikings observer Judd Zulgad noted, Claiborne's 4.37 speed is difficult to dismiss, but he needs to work on his weaknesses -- and to be more patient in waiting for his blocks to develop. Given Claiborne is only 22 years old, those are things that will take time for him to learn. This is where keeping Scott has to be a consideration. Scott, 27, isn't flashy, but you know what you're going to get. It would not be a surprise if Scott is cut on Sunday and quickly signed to the practice squad. |
Saints | New Orleans acquiring Zamir White Mon Aug 24, 12:04 AM
New Orleans Saints LB Deion Jones is being traded to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for RB Zamir White, according to sources
| Footballguys view: The Saints needed running back help with Alvin Kamara out at least a month with an MCL sprain. Devin Neal (hamstring) and Kendre Miller (back) have also missed time in camp with injuries. The 49ers signed White on Aug. 12 as they dealt with backfield injuries of their own. Christian McCaffrey returned to practice on Sunday. |

49ers | Niners trade for Deion Jones Mon Aug 24, 12:03 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Zamir White is being traded to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for LB Deion Jones, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Jones reunites with 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris after the two were together with the Falcons from 2016-20. Jones was a Pro Bowler in 2017. Jones spent the past two seasons with the Bucs, and he played all 17 games last season. |

Raiders | Sprained ankle for Ashton Jeanty Sun Aug 23, 11:02 PM
Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is believed to have suffered a sprained ankle, and while he will miss time, it is not considered a long-term injury, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: While the news is positive, Jeanty is injured. He's going to miss time. The question is how much. Footballguys injury analyst Adam Hutchison suspects a high-ankle sprain. If so, a four-week absence would be the best-case scenario. The worst-case outcome could be that Jeanty is sidelined seven to eight weeks. It's still wise to lay off Jeanty in ongoing -- or looming -- drafts, at least until we have more information. It would also be wise not to react by overpaying for rookie Mike Washington Jr. In the meantime, stay tuned; we'll have more as developments warrant. |

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II (rib) suffered a rib injury in the preseason game against the New York Giants. There is no timetable for his return. He has been battling for backup duties behind RB De'Von Achane.
Link to story 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. |
Browns | Trio of Cleveland players nearing return Sun Aug 23, 03:54 PM

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. |

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.
Link to story 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. |

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. |
