  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Leading RB2 competition

    The Dolphins listed Wright as the No. 2 running back on the team's first unofficial depth chart released Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Depth charts released in training camp are fluid and subject to change, but it looks like Wright is ahead of 2025 sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon for the main backup role behind De'Von Achane. Wright missed the first six games of 2025 due to a knee injury, but he had his moments when he was healthy, including a Week 14 performance against the Jets in which he turned 24 carries into 107 yards and a touchdown. Friday's preseason opener against the Commanders will provide Wright's first in-game opportunity to separate himself from Gordon.

  • Elijah Mitchell: Let go from IR by Philadelphia

    The Eagles released Mitchell (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Mitchell was originally slated to miss the entire 2026 season after being placed on the Eagles' IR on Monday. However, with the injury settlement, the 2021 sixth-rounder will have the opportunity to sign with a team once he's fully healthy. Mitchell's lone appearance in the 2025 regular season with the Chiefs was against the Broncos in Week 7, when he failed to haul in his lone target while playing seven snaps on offense.

  • Robbie Ouzts RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Robbie Ouzts: Done for 2026

    The Seahawks placed Ouzts (neck) on injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Ouzts has been sidelined by a neck injury, which is severe enough for him to go on injured reserve and miss the entire 2026 season. With the Alabama product done for the year, Brady Russell and Brock Lampe remain the only two fullbacks on the Seahawks' 90-man training camp roster.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Listed as co-RB1 with Etienne

    Kamara and Travis Etienne are listed as co-RB1s on the Saints' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    This comes as a bit of a surprise considering Etienne signed a big money deal (four years, $52 million) to join the Saints in the offseason, while Kamara agreed to a reworked contract (one year, $6 million) in mid-July to remain with the only team he's over known. However, Kamara has been taking on more of the passing-down reps during camp, with Etienne handling early downs, and how the running backs are listed on the depth chart suggests both will have regular roles in the offense. That said, the initial depth chart might simply be a sign of respect for a franchise icon as Kamara enters what could be his final season in New Orleans.

  • Saints' Travis Etienne: Co-starter with Kamara on depth chart

    Etienne and Alvin Kamara are listed as co-RB1s on the Saints' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    After Etienne signed a four-year, $52 million contract with New Orleans in the offseason, he was expected to start over the incumbent Kamara, especially after the latter agreed to a reworked contract (one year, $6 million) in mid-July to stay with the team. Kamara has handled more of the third-down work in training camp, while Etienne has taken on early downs, but with the team now listing them as co-RB1s, there may be more of an even split between the two than initially thought. The depth chart listing could also simply be a sign of respect for a franchise icon as Kamara enters what could be his final season in New Orleans.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Starters in line to play Thursday

    Coach Klint Kubiak said Tuesday that the Raiders' starters -- a group that would include Jeanty -- are in line to play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

    It remains to be seen how much work Jeanty is in store for versus Arizona, but once he gets his reps, his backups will presumably see plenty of action. As the coming campaign approaches, Jeanty is positioned for a high-volume role in the Las Vegas offense, one that could include more work in the passing game, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com. Currently backing up Jeanty are Mike Washington, Dylan Laube, Dare Ogunbowale and Roman Hemby.

  • Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Deemed co-starter on unofficial depth chart

    Bhayshul Tuten and Rodriguez are listed as co-starters on the Jaguars' initial unofficial depth chart, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    While preseason depth charts posted by NFL teams tend to be unreliable as projections for Week 1, this listing isn't unexpected. The Jaguars seem to be trending toward employing a committee approach to fill the void created by the offseason departure of Travis Etienne, with LeQuint Allen potentially mixing in on third downs as well. In that context, Rodriguez could see enough touches out of the gate this season to merit fantasy consideration.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Listed as co-starter on unofficial depth chart

    Tuten and Chris Rodriguez are listed as co-starters on the Jaguars' initial unofficial depth chart, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Preseason depth charts can often be taken with a grain of salt, but in this case the listing aligns with the notion that the Jaguars will employ a committee approach to fill the void created by the offseason departure of Travis Etienne. Also in the mix for backfield touches is LeQuint Allen, who could factor in on third downs. Regardless of how the team's snaps and touches are distributed, Tuten figures to merit fantasy consideration right out of the gate this season.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Works in individual drills Tuesday

    Dobbins, who left practice early Monday with a soft-tissue injury, went through individual drills during Tuesday's session, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Dobbins' quick return to work after leaving Monday's practice signals that his issue was minor, though it remains to be seen if he'll see action in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons. As the coming campaign approaches, Dobbins is slated to reprise his role at the top of a Denver backfield that also includes 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey and 2026 fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman. The key for Dobbins' fantasy utility is staying healthy, but Harvey will no doubt see his share of touches, and Coleman is also a candidate to mix in even if Dobbins heads into Week 1 as the team's de facto starter.

  • Jeremiyah Love RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: In line to play Thursday

    Love is slated to suit up for Thursday's preseason game in Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    While rookie third-round pick Carson Beck played QB for over half of last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers, Love was kept on the sideline with the rest of the Cardinals' starters. Considering Love was the third overall pick in this year's draft, his higher standing comes as no surprise, but coach Mike LaFleur relayed Tuesday that the first-team offense will play one or two drives Thursday.
