Thomas Rawls: Let go by Jags
Thomas Rawls was released by the Jaguars on Friday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.Rawls missed time in training camp due to a hamstring injury and struggled to make an impact after retaking the field, totaling just eight carries for 24 yards and three catches for 19 yards in two preseason appearances. The 26-year-old running back flashed in 2015 when he broke out in Seattle, but he has not surpassed 500 scrimmage yards or 4.0 YPC in a season since. In Rawls' absence, Elijah Hood and Devante Mays (ankle) will face slightly better odds of making the initial 53-man roster.

Jaguars' Thomas Rawls: Sees minimal workload
Thomas Rawls rushed once for four yards and failed to catch his lone target in Thursday's preseason game against the Dolphins.Rawls received the start in the second preseason game but totaled only 38 yards on 10 touches (10 carries and three catches), and he saw a heavily reduced workload Thursday. Leonard Fournette made his first appearance of the preseason and split carries with rookie Ryquell Armstead as the Jacksonville Jaguars finally gave their starting offense a look. Rawls was also out-snapped by 2017 seventh-round pick Devante Mays.

Jaguars' Thomas Rawls: Struggles with added workload
Thomas Rawls had seven carries for 19 yards and three catches for 19 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Eagles.With Leonard Fournette resting and Ryquell Armstead (head) unavailable, Alfred Blue got the start at running back before exiting with an ankle injury. Rawls didn't do much with his chances, but he at least was better than Devante Mays, who lost one yard on five carries and gained 15 yards on two catches. Jacksonville's backup running back situation remains precarious, giving Rawls a real shot at a Week 1 roster spot, even after he missed time at training camp with a hamstring.

Jaguars' Thomas Rawls: Out for first preseason game
Thomas Rawls (hamstring) will not suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Bills, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.Rawls has been hampered by a hamstring issue that has held him out from quite a bit of training camp work, so his absence isn't related to his veteran status. He's one of four running backs out for the game, so duties will be handed off to Alfred Blue, Ryquell Armstead and Devante Mays on Thursday.

Jaguars' Thomas Rawls: Nursing hamstring injury
Thomas Rawls isn't expected to practice this week while he deals with a hamstring issue, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.Since bursting onto the scene as a rookie in 2015 with Seattle -- taking 156 touches for 906 scrimmage yards and five total touchdowns -- Rawls has seen his numbers decrease. The 25-year-old appeared in one game with Cincinnati last season but was only on the field for two snaps on special teams. Rawls found himself buried on the Bengals' depth chart, and was considered the No. 4 running back behind Joe Mixon, Giovani Bernard and Mark Walton. Rawls finds himself in a similar situation in Jacksonville, being listed as the No. 5 running back. Even though T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant both departed the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team drafted Ryquell Armstead in addition to signing Alfred Blue and Benny Cunningham in the offseason to help back up Leonard Fournette. It's unclear how long the hamstring issue will sideline Rawls past this week, but it obviously doesn't help him in his journey for a roster spot and meaningful reps.

Jaguars' Thomas Rawls: Headed to Jacksonville
Thomas Rawls agreed to a contract Wednesday with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.The 25-year-old suited up for just one game for the Bengals in 2018 but showed some initial promise when he broke into the NFL with the Seahawks in 2015. Injuries have been an issue for Rawls, but assuming he's healthy this offseason and training camp, he'll have an opportunity to carve out a depth role in the Jacksonville backfield. T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant are both eligible for free agency this offseason.

Thomas Rawls: Cut loose by Cincinnati
The Bengals waived Thomas Rawls on Tuesday.Cincinnati signed Rawls ahead of its Week 3 game, but Rawls was inactive for back-to-back contests before finally making his debut in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Dolphins. The active designation didn't mean much, however, as Rawls earned zero offensive snaps while working as the clear No. 3 back behind Joe Mixon and Mark Walton. Cincinnati is now without a healthy third option in the backfield with Giovani Bernard (knee) likely to miss at least one more game, but it's unclear if the team intends to add another depth piece to the group or simply proceed with Mixon and Walton as its sole backs Week 6 against the Steelers.

Bengals' Thomas Rawls: Zero offensive snaps in Bengals debut
Thomas Rawls logged two snaps on special teams during Sunday's 27-17 victory over the Dolphins.Rawls, who signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in mid-September, was active for the first time this season to provide depth at running back with Giovani Bernard (knee) sidelined. However, Cincinnati was content with letting Joe Mixon handle the entirety of the rushing workload. While Rawls may stick on the active roster until Bernard returns in the coming weeks, don't expect him to get many, if any, chances on offense as long as Joe Mixon is healthy.

Bengals' Thomas Rawls: Active Week 5
Thomas Rawls is active for Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Dolphins, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.The veteran likely will slot in as third in the backfield pecking order behind rookie Mark Walton and returning starter Joe Mixon (knee). If he sees any action Sunday, it would mark Rawls' first snaps in Cincinnati since signing on Sept. 19. Given what's expected to be a minimal role at best, he doesn't warrant fantasy consideration.

Bengals' Thomas Rawls: Won't suit up Week 3
Thomas Rawls (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.Rawls missed some practice time this week due to general soreness, but he was back on the practice field both Thursday and Friday. This makes his inactive status a bit surprising, especially with regular starter Joe Mixon (knee) on the shelf. This move will leave Mark Walton as the only remaining healthy running back on the active roster behind presumed starter Giovani Bernard.
