  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Tending to ankle issue

    Jacobs was limited in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    The Packers' ground game has struggled to get going through two contests, but Jacobs still has churned out 150 yards and two touchdowns on 42 carries while hauling in his only target for four yards. Coming off nearly a week of rest since last Thursday's win against the Commanders, though, Jacobs wasn't able to handle a full allotment of reps Wednesday as Green Bay prepares for Sunday's contest at Cleveland.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Dealing with quad concern

    Swift practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.

    Swift has kicked off the 2025 season in his typical role as the Bears' No. 1 running back, turning 29 carries into 116 yards (4.0 YPC) and one touchdown and six catches (on eight targets) into 18 yards through two contests. Meanwhile, rookie seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai has combined for nine touches in that same span. With an injury now in tow, though, Swift's status will be one to watch as the week goes on to ensure he'll be out there Sunday against the Cowboys.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Primed for large workloads

    Mason is taking over as Minnesota's unquestioned lead back with Aaron Jones (hamstring) going to injured reserve and missing at least four games.

    With No. 3 RB Ty Chandler (knee) already on IR, the Vikings are left with Mason and Zavier Scott as their only running backs on the active roster. The team figures to promote Cam Akers or Xazavian Valladay from the practice squad before Sunday's game against Cincinnati, but that shouldn't stop Mason from taking on a large workload against a vulnerable defense in a game featuring two backup quarterbacks. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Mason is a "potential bell-cow kind of back."

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Dealing with chest issue

    Tracy was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    After handling a 74 percent snap share during a Week 1 loss at Washington, Tracy fell all the way back to 42 percent in Sunday's loss in Dallas, while rookie Cam Skattebo jumped from 12 percent in the season opener to 52 percent Week 2. The result: Tracy recorded nine touches for 51 yards from scrimmage, and Skattebo had 13 touches for 59 total yards Sunday. Tracy's dip in usage may have been attributed to a health concern, and now his status will be one to monitor ahead of a Week 3 matchup with the Chiefs.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Cleared to suit up Thursday

    Wright (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Wright will make his regular-season debut versus Buffalo on Thursday, joining Ollie Gordon as a depth backfield option behind starter De'Von Achane. Through two weeks this season Achane has maintained a dominant workload out of the backfield, though his production has mostly come through the air with Miami's defense having surrendered early leads and limited the team's ability to lean on the run. If the Dolphins face a similar game script versus the Bills consistent rushing opportunities will again be hard to come by, potentially leaving few reserve carries available to Wright and Gordon.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Officially lands on IR

    The Vikings placed Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Jones will miss at least four games while recovering from his hamstring injury, making his earliest tentative return date Week 8 against the Chargers on Oct. 23, due to the timing of Minnesota's bye in Week 6. That positions Jordan Mason to take over the Vikings' backfield in a workhorse capacity, beginning Sunday versus the Bengals. Minnesota also has Zavier Scott available as backfield depth, and the team inked Cam Akers to the practice squad Wednesday.

  • Zamir White RB | LV

    Raiders' Zamir White: Four touches in loss

    White rushed twice for minus-two yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.

    White had a quiet day while continuing to operate as the Raiders' No. 2 running back behind rookie Ashton Jeanty. The veteran played just 21 of the Raiders 70 offensive snaps, giving him few opportunities to get much going in the contest. As long as Jeanty stays healthy, White appears to be nothing more than an insurance policy for fantasy managers invested in the rookie. White will have his next chance to get more involved when the Raiders visit the Commanders in Week 3.

  • Ty Johnson RB | BUF

    Bills' Ty Johnson: Minimal production against Jets

    Johnson rushed twice for six yards and failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Johnson was not a big part of the Bills' game plan Sunday, playing just 19 of Buffalo's 75 offensive snaps behind both James Cook (35) and Ray Davis (20). The veteran running back has just four total rushes and zero catches on three targets through the first two games of the season. Barring an injury to either Cook or Davis, Johnson is unlikely to hold much reliable fantasy value in an offense flush with playmakers. The 28-year-old will get his next chance to be more involved when the Bills host the Dolphins in Week 3.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Handles nine carries against Jets

    Davis rushed nine times for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Davis saw an uptick in usage in Week 2 after playing just 10 snaps and rushing the ball once in Week 1. Despite his increased opportunities, the second-year running back was unable to get much going in the contest. Meanwhile, starter James Cook had an excellent day, finishing the game with 21 rushes for 132 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. As long as Cook is healthy, Davis should not be considered for fantasy purposes beyond an insurance policy. The 25-year-old will have his next chance to improve upon his slow start in Week 3, however, when the Bills host the Dolphins.

  • Titans' Julius Chestnut: No stats in Week 2

    Chestnut played seven offensive snaps and 20 special teams snaps in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.

    Tony Pollard was the only Titans' running back to record a touch in Sunday's loss. That relegated Chestnut to empty snaps, even as the team's only other active back.
