Mims was waived by the 49ers on Wednesday.

Despite signing Mims in late May, San Francisco has already decided to move on from the running back. The Fresno State product has spent time with the Saints and Titans across his three seasons in the NFL, logging 161 total snaps (101 on offense, 60 on special teams) across 14 contests. In a corresponding move, the 49ers signed running back Sincere McCormick to a one-year deal Wednesday.

Allen is up to 250 pounds for OTAs after playing at 238-240 last year, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

In terms of physical measurements, Allen is perhaps the closest thing to Derrick Henry among NFL running backs, now pushing 250 pounds on a 6-foot-1 frame. The concern is that Allen was already a far cry from Henry in terms of speed and agility when playing at his (relatively) lighter weight of 238-240 pounds. The 22-year-old looks like a DE or OLB at first glance, and he told reporters Wednesday that his body-fat percentage is at an all-time low. Allen also said he's back at full strength after undergoing season-ending surgery on an MCL injury last fall. He's the youngest player from the 2024 draft class -- younger than most incoming rookies, in fact -- and is again positioned to compete with fellow 2024 draft pick Isaiah Davis for backup work behind long-time starter Breece Hall. It's also possible Allen and Davis have distinct roles, with the former more focused on power rushing and the latter more geared toward passing downs.

Wilson has been getting most of his reps with the third-string offense at OTAs, according to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune.

Wilson did a solid job filling in for an injured Josh Jacobs in Green Bay last season, so it's no surprise there was fantasy interest after Wilson signed with the RB-needy Seahawks in March on a reported one-year, $2.1 million contract. His fantasy stock has since taken a hit, in large part because the Seahawks drafted RB Jadarian Price at No. 32 overall in April. It also doesn't help that Wilson's contract is closer to $1.6 million in base value, not $2.1 million, and with only $300,000 guaranteed at signing. He may still be part of the plan to help replace Kenneth Walker (Chiefs) and Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL), but early reports out of Seattle have George Holani getting most of the first-team reps while Price mixes in some. Wilson seems to be exclusively working with the backups, at least during the media-access portions of practice.

Holani has often been the first running back through the rotation at Seattle's OTAs, according to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune.

With Kenneth Walker in Kansas City and Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovering from late-February ACL surgery, Holani is the veteran holdover in Seattle's backfield. First-round pick Jadarian Price is a clear favorite to lead the team in carries come Week 1, but it sounds like Holani is getting more snaps with the starters during the offseason program. Meanwhile, free-agent signing Emanuel Wilson reportedly is getting a lot of his work with the third-string offense. Holani, a 2024 UDFA, is still a long shot for mainstream fantasy value, but he's at least earning a spot on deep-sleeper lists and generating some interest as an end-game pick for best ball.

Price has been mixing in with Seattle's starters at OTAs, including for a full drive during Wednesday's practice, according to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune.

The report suggests George Holani has mostly been first through the backfield rotation, with Price also getting some first-team reps, while Emanuel Wilson is largely working with backups. Bell also suggests Zach Charbonnet (knee) could be part of the team's plan as early as September or October, even though Charbonnet underwent ACL surgery in late February. Price, the 32nd overall pick this spring, remains a solid favorite to lead Seattle in carries come Week 1. However, the rookie could end up in a three-man rotation with Holani handling pass-catching work and Wilson taking some of the inside carries and/or pass-blocking snaps.

Charbonnet, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in mid-February, was spotted doing what Brendon Nelson of SI.com describes as some light on-field work during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session.

Per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, while Charbonnet's teammates warmed up on the main field Tuesday, the running back did about 15 minutes of high-knee hurdler steps while dressed in sweats and flat running shoes, as well as lateral movement and other low-impact drills. Though his presence on the field in any capacity is encouraging, given the typical eight-to-12 month recovery period for his surgery, it remains to be seen when Charbonnet will be cleared for full participation. He's on track to miss time at the beginning of the regular season, paving the way for 2026 first-round pick Jadarian Price, as well as George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, to handle Seattle's backfield duties.

With Chris Rodriguez recovering from a foot procedure, Tuten and LeQuint Allen took the majority of the Jaguars' running back reps during OTAs and at Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.

According to coach Liam Coen, Rodriguez "will be full go come training camp" after hurting his left foot at the beginning of the team's offseason conditioning program. Once he's back on the field, the free-agent addition is set to compete with Tuten and Allen for slotting in a backfield that no longer includes Travis Etienne. As a rookie last season, Tuten gained 307 yards and five TDs on 83 carries while adding 10 catches for 79 yards and a pair of receiving TDs in 15 regular-season contests. The 2025 fourth-rounder has an opportunity to carve a larger role this season, but Coen previously referred to the situation as "truly wide open," per John Shipley of SI.com, and at this stage there's no clear favorite for the top job.

Skattebo (ankle) is participating in team drills at Tuesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

After doing individual work at Monday's minicamp practice, Skattebo graduated to 11-on-11 work Tuesday, suggesting he's at or near 100 percent health coming off ankle surgery. Already seen doing standing back flips this offseason, Skattebo seems ready to roll for the start of training camp next month. He's expected to have a leg up on Tyrone Tracy for the top job in the Giants' backfield under new coach John Harbaugh and OC Matt Nagy.

Rodriguez, who underwent a procedure on his left foot following an injury he sustained earlier in the Jaguars' offseason program, is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Per the report, Rodriguez, who has not participated in any of the team's OTAs, will miss this week's mandatory minicamp, which runs June 9-11. However, the running back has been able to rehab his foot injury at the Jaguars' facility and isn't expected to have any restrictions on his workload at the start of training camp. Once healthy, Rodriguez, Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen are in line to compete for slotting in a Jacksonville backfield that bid adieu to Travis Etienne -- who recorded 260 carries in 17 regular-season games in 2025 -- this offseason via free agency.

Skattebo (ankle) took part in running and agility drills at the first day of mandatory minicamp Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Skattebo, who said in mid-May that he expects to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, is roughly eight months removed from the dislocated right ankle that limited him to eight games as a rookie. While it doesn't yet appear that the 2025 fourth-round pick has been cleared for full team drills, it's encouraging to see him demonstrate lateral quickness in on-field individual drills. The Giants may be targeting training camp in July as the next major step forward in Skattebo's recovery.
