Coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Tuesday that Love does not need surgery to address his ankle injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Love sustained a reported high-ankle sprain in this past Thursday's preseason win over the Raiders, and he's not expected to play again during the preseason. Per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN, the Cardinals are hoping the rookie running back will be available for Week 1 action. If he ends up being limited at all out of the gate, Tyler Allgeier would presumably see added opportunities, especially with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) dealing with injuries of their own.

Harris (Achilles) signed a one-year deal with the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

The Giants were clearly convinced that Harris has made enough progress in his Achilles rehab to contribute this season, after the veteran visited with the team Monday. He's now set to join a backfield headed by Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. Harris is well-regarded for his blitz pickup and short-yardage ability, which could complicate the snaps projection for the Giants' incumbent RBs even if Harris himself is not a featured part of the offense.

Benson (knee) has yet to progress to 11-on-11 drills in training camp, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

The clock is ticking for Benson, who missed a large chunk of 2025 with a knee injury that has continued to bother him at times during camp. On a positive note, Benson managed to get in a limited practice Monday. However, it's unclear when he'll be ready for full-team drills. Benson is one of several Cardinals running backs dealing with injuries, including Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and James Conner (foot).

Ford (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Commanders on Tuesday.

The former Brown will miss the season due to an injury unless he is released with an injury settlement. Ford was brought in during free agency for backfield and kick return depth.

Hall (groin) will be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The groin injury Hall sustained Monday will cost him the rest of the preseason, but if things go as planned, head coach Aaron Glenn anticipates he will be ready for the start of the regular season. Hall's absence will afford Braelon Allen -- and presumably Isaiah Davis (knee) if healthy -- more reps with the starters over the remainder of camp.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (groin) will return to practice Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

LaFleur didn't elaborate on how extensively Jacobs will be involved in practice, but the running back will most likely be eased back in with a light workload and will see limited reps in team drills, if any. Assuming Jacobs incurs no setbacks with his groin as he gradually increases his activity in practices, he should be ready to serve as the Packers' lead back once the regular season gets underway, but he still faces potential league discipline due to a May arrest.

Hall (groin) was in attendance for Tuesday's practice, though he wasn't in uniform and was observing the session off to the side, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Hall exited Monday's session early after sustaining a right groin strain, an injury that the Jets believe to be a minor concern that won't threaten his availability for the team's Week 1 game against the Titans. While Hall is probably at least a week away from mixing back into drills, his presence at practice seemingly supports the notion that he's not in line for a long-term absence. With Isaiah Davis also having been sidelined for the past week due to a minor knee injury, Braelon Allen should be in line for the bulk of the reps with the Jets' first-team offense in practice until Hall makes his return to the field.

The Jaguars announced that Allen sustained a soft-tissue injury Monday that will keep him out for the remainder of training camp, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

The injury presumably puts Allen's status in doubt for the remaining two games of the preseason. Though Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez are expected to carry the load on the ground for the Jaguars during the upcoming season, Allen projects to hold an important role as the preferred back on passing downs. Ameer Abdullah could serve as a change-of-pace option instead if Allen's absence extends into the regular season.

Bennett was waived by the Bears on Monday.

The running back signed with Chicago as an undrafted free agent in May. Bennett recorded 764 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, as well as 27 catches for 314 receiving yards and three additional scores, with Kennesaw State in 2025. He'll now have to look for another opportunity in the NFL.

Acker was waived by the Bills on Monday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

The fullback signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in May after five seasons at Wisconsin. Acker saw action on three offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps in the Bills' preseason opener against the Panthers on Saturday, as he continued to compete with Ben VanSumeren for the team's open fullback role.
