  • Titans' Julius Chestnut: Tallies 10 carries in preseason win

    Chestnut carried the ball 10 times for 35 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Tampa Bay. He added two receptions for 10 yards.

    Chestnut was the third Tennessee back to earn a touch, behind both Dontrell Hilliard and Hassan Haskins. He had a few significant runs late in the game that helped pad his yardage total, and he also made a tackle on special teams. The latter is his likeliest path to a roster spot, as he appears to be buried on the depth chart behind Derrick Henry and both Hilliard and Haskins.

  • Commanders' Jonathan Williams: Works ahead of Patterson again

    Williams took four carries for 12 yards and one catch for nine yards in Saturday's preseason loss to Kansas City.

    Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson handled the first half, while J.D. McKissic (groin) was unavailable. After that, Williams worked ahead of Jaret Patterson, who took two carries for one yard and a touchdown. Williams also played ahead of Patterson the previous week, but it isn't clear the Commanders will keep a fourth back behind Robinson, Gibson and McKissic.

  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Ravens' Tyler Badie: Gets second-half work

    Badie rushed 12 times for 34 yards and caught two of three targets for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over Arizona.

    Badie finished the game with the most carries for the Ravens' banged-up backfield, but all of those attempts came in the second half, and the rookie didn't do a whole lot with the volume presented. Badie will continue battling for a roster spot in the preseason finale against the Commanders on Saturday.

  • Cardinals' Keaontay Ingram: Six combined touches

    Ingram rushed four times for nine yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Ingram wasn't able to replicate last week's trip to the end zone, but he did put his soft hands to work with two more catches to add to his preseason total. The sixth-round pick won't have much fantasy value as long as James Conner remains healthy, so a spot on the Cardinals' practice squad could be a more realistic goal for Ingram with Darrel Williams and Eno Benjamin also on the roster.

  • Eno Benjamin RB | NO

    Cardinals' Eno Benjamin: First back to see carries Sunday

    Benjamin rushed four times for 12 yards and did not haul in his lone target in Sunday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Benjamin was the first Cardinals back to receive a carry Sunday, which bodes well for his prospects to win the backup job battle behind James Conner. Darrel Williams (one rush for three yards) didn't get much work, either, so next week's preseason tilt against the Titans should help the coaching staff make a final decision before Week 1. Neither player will hold much fantasy value heading into the regular season so long as Conner remains healthy as the opener draws closer.

  • Cardinals' Darrel Williams: Gets first preseason work

    Williams received one carry for three yards in Sunday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Ravens.

    It was Williams' first work in an Arizona uniform after signing with the club this past offseason. The veteran back received his lone touch in the first half (starter James Conner rested), indicating that the 27-year-old is competing with Eno Benjamin for the primary backup role behind the Cardinals' workhorse to begin the regular season.

  • Benny Snell RB | DET

    Steelers' Benny Snell: Reaches end zone against Jaguars

    Snell rushed three times for minus-two yards while securing two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 16-15 preseason win over the Jaguars on Saturday.

    Snell drew the start during Saturday's preseason matchup, and he caught an 11-yard touchdown pass late in the first half. The 2019 fourth-rounder split time in the backfield with Jaylen Warren during the first half. Warren recorded 27 yards from scrimmage on six touches, but Snell was one of two Steelers to reach the end zone during the narrow win. Snell and Warren will likely continue to compete to serve as Pittsburgh's No. 2 running back ahead of the regular season.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Totals 27 yards from scrimmage

    Warren rushed three times for three yards while securing all three of his targets for 24 yards during the Steelers' 16-15 preseason win over Jacksonville on Saturday.

    Benny Snell was in the Steelers' backfield for the first two drives of Saturday's matchup, but Warren was the second running back to take the field. The two backs split playing time during the first half, but Warren led the team's running backs in touches and was productive in the passing game in spite of his inefficiency on the ground. Warren has 16 touches through two preseason games and seems to be solidifying his case for a spot on the 53-man roster while making a push to serve as Pittsburgh's No. 2 running back.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Struggles in preseason win

    Hill rushed five times for five yards and caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-17 preseason win over the Cardinals.

    Mike Davis (undisclosed) got the first-unit snaps with both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards still recovering from serious knee injuries suffered just before Week 1 last season. Hill -- a raw prospect taken in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft -- had a prime opportunity to earn some serious starting consideration should the aforementioned players miss the start of the regular season, but his lackluster showing will make the increasingly important third spot on the Baltimore running back depth chart come down to the wire between him and Davis. That final preseason showcase for the Ravens before rosters are trimmed will take place against the Commanders on Saturday.

  • Nate McCrary RB | GB

    Ravens' Nate McCrary: Questionable to return

    McCrary is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a knee injury.

    McCrary had touches on back-to-back plays in the third quarter, securing his lone target for seven yards while rushing once for nine yards prior to leaving the game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return or whether he'll be available for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Commanders.
