Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Court date moved up
Jacobs' next court date has been moved up from Nov. 17 to Sept. 10, Michael Gross of Fox 11 Green Bay reports. Jacobs is expected to be represented by his attorney and won't personally appear at the hearing.
The move of the court date is going to lead to speculation about if and when he'll receive discipline from the NFL, especially if a plea deal is announced. But that has not been divulged so far. At the very least, there may soon be more clarification about what the next step in the process is for Jacobs, who remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List.

Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Listed as RB2 behind Achane
Wright is listed as the Dolphins' No. 2 running back on the team's initial depth chart ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Raiders.
The 23-year-old is entering his third NFL season after being selected in the fourth round of the 2024 Draft by then-coach Mike McDaniel. Now playing under a new coaching staff, Wright appears to be ahead of Ollie Gordon and special-teams player Carlos Washington for backup duties behind De'Von Achane. Wright carried the ball 70 times for 288 yards (4.1 YPC) and two touchdowns last season but hasn't been asked to catch the ball in the pros, with just eight grabs for 52 yards across 25 career regular-season contests.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | JAC
Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Healthy ahead of Week 1
Rodriguez currently is one of two healthy running backs on the Jaguars' roster along with Ameer Abdullah due to health concerns for Bhayshul Tuten (illness) and LeQuint Allen (undisclosed).
Allen is the only one of the quartet whose status for Week 1 appears to be up in the air, but Rodriguez nonetheless is poised for a regular role in Jacksonville's offense. What kind of workload that entails remains to be seen, but Tuten is Rodriguez's primary competitor for touches. At least when it comes to short-yardage and goal-line usage, the more imposing Rodriguez likely will handle those after earning 33 carries inside the 20-yard line last season for the Commanders. The Jaguars' season opener against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 13 ultimately will provide insight into what to expect from the duo.

Jonah Coleman RB | DEN
Broncos' Jonah Coleman: Destined for between-the-tackles role
Coleman is likely to serve as the Broncos' between-the-tackles complement to starter J.K. Dobbins this season, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Coleman was selected in the fourth round of April's draft after completing his four-year college career with a 2025 campaign with Washington during which he compiled 758 yards and 15 touchdowns on 156 carries over 12 contests. He also added 31 catches for 354 yards and two scores during his senior season. The Huskies played with an up-tempo style, so Coleman was on the field for all downs, resulting in him becoming a capable receiver and pass blocker. The running back is considered a more physical back than RJ Harvey, who also is set to serve as a reserve option behind Dobbins this season, and as a result, Coleman could be ticketed to serve more frequently as a direct replacement for Dobbins.

Robert Henry Jr. RB | SEA
Robert Henry: Headed to Commanders' practice squad
Washington signed Henry to its practice squad Monday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Henry had a decently productive preseason as a rusher (26 carries for 105 yards and a touchdown), but it wasn't enough to earn him a spot on the Commanders' initial 53-man roster, and now he'll start the new campaign on the practice squad. If free-agent acquisition Rachaad White (hamstring) is unable to play in Week 1, Henry could find himself on the short list for elevations to the active roster.

Craig Reynolds RB | WAS
Craig Reynolds: Lands on Commanders' PS
The Commanders signed Reynolds to the practice squad Monday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Reynolds was released by the Commanders on Sunday but at least earned a spot on the practice squad. The 30-year-old has appeared in 57 regular-season games for the Commanders, Jaguars and Lions throughout his career in a complementary role, rushing for 658 yards and one touchdown off 154 attempts while adding 25 catches for 258 yards. Reynolds could be elevated at some point during the 2026 season, though that move would likely be only for depth purposes.

Kalel Mullings RB | TEN
Kalel Mullings: Lands on Titans' practice squad
Tennessee signed Mullings (hip) to its practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Mullings was sidelined during the preseason due to a hip injury, but he's apparently in good enough shape to contribute as a member of Tennessee's practice squad. In nine games with the team in 2025, he totaled three carries for seven yards.

D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Bears' D'Andre Swift: Believed to be dealing with cramp
Swift (abdomen) is believed to have left Thursday's practice with "a cramp," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Swift was reportedly "in significant discomfort" when leaving Thursday's practice with an apparent abdominal issue, but the early diagnosis seems to suggest he is not dealing with a serious setback. Even still, Swift will carry an injury designation for the time being, and it could be a few days before an official update from the team is released. Both Swift and Kyle Monangai (knee) now find themselves on the injury report, and if either is limited or unavailable altogether in the opener, Roschon Johnson would stand to benefit.
-
Michael Carter RB | TEN
Michael Carter: Joins Titans' practice squad
The Titans signed Carter to the practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Carter was released by the Titans on Sunday, but he was back with the organization 24 hours later. The 2021 fourth-round pick of the Jets has appeared in 61 regular-season games with New York and the Cardinals, amassing 1,692 rushing yards off 418 attempts and catching 145 passes for 1,038 yards while totaling 10 total touchdowns (nine rushing, one receiving). Carter has a fair amount of starting experience and put together some serviceable performances for Arizona down the stretch last season, so he could get a chance to see the field for the Titans at some point during the 2026 campaign.

Brock Lampe RB | SEA
Brock Lampe: Visits Bills on Thursday
Lampe (undisclosed) visited the Bills on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Lampe was recently waived by the Seahawks with an injury settlement. His visit with the Bills suggests Lampe may be past whatever injury he'd been recovering from.
