Neal did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to a hamstring injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Neal tweaked his hamstring during Thursday's practice, and the injury prevented him from participating in Saturday's session. The 2025 sixth-rounder is currently listed as the Saints' RB3, but an extended absence could open the window for Ty Chandler, Kendre Miller (back) or Audric Estime to take the No. 3 job. Neal will aim to be available for the Saints' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Mullings is dealing with a hip pointer injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Mullins went to the locker room toward the tail end of Friday's training camp practice. He'll have his injury closely monitored over the next few days, and it's unclear whether his hip issue will prevent him from playing in Thursday's preseason opener against San Francisco. Any and all reps in training camp and exhibition contests are crucial for Mullings, who is competing against Michael Carter and Julius Chestnut for a depth spot on the Titans' 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season.

Spears is dealing with some soreness and irritation, which caused him to depart practice early Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

There's no indication Spears is dealing with anything serious, but he may be held out of practice until his current soreness subsides. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as Tennessee's No. 2 RB this season, and the could be more of a "1B" to starter Tony Pollard than a pure backup. Spears has 1,048 regular-season rushing yards and 873 receiving yards through three NFL campaigns, so he has the potential to make an impact in fantasy as a dual-threat asset.

Jacobs (groin) isn't practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

It's the second straight day that Jacobs is being held out of practice due to a groin injury. At this point, there doesn't seem to be any concern that the veteran running back is dealing with a serious issue, but Green Bay doesn't figure to rush him back onto the field at this early stage of the preseason. Chris Brooks (hamstring) also isn't practicing, so Marshawn Lloyd should get plenty of first-team reps.

The Cowboys waived Richardson on Friday.

The move corresponds with the Cowboys signing running back Jashaun Corbin. Richardson signed with the Cowboys in early May as an undrafted free agent after his name was not called during the 2026 NFL Draft. Assuming he clears waivers, Richardson will look to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth.

The Cowboys signed Corbin to a contract Friday.

Corbin will join the Cowboys' 90-man roster for training camp and will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season. He last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Giants and spent a good portion of last season on the Patriots' practice squad. The move corresponds with the Cowboys waiving fellow running back Dominic Richardson.

Kiner recorded 14 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers. He also logged two catches for nine yards.

Kiner opened the scoring in the first exhibition of the preseason with a one-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. He also led both teams in carries while maintaining decent efficiency. Whether he makes the cut for Arizona's initial 53-man roster could depend somewhat on the health of veteran James Conner (foot).

Jesse Newell of The Athletic indicates Johnson has been fourth in the team's RB pecking order behind top option Kenneth Walker, as well as both Emari Demercado and Brashard Smith to this point in training camp.

While Newell indicates that the Chiefs were thrilled to land Johnson in the fifth round of April's draft and suggests that the rookie's long-term prospects with the team remain unchanged, it looks like he may have some ground to make up ahead of Week 1. Things could of course change as the summer progresses and Johnson continues to develop, but for now, his role behind Walker has yet to be determined, while the team's RB2 job remains up for grabs. The Chiefs' preseason opener is Aug. 15 against the Rams, with added context regarding backfield slotting presumably set to arrive via the release of the team's first unofficial depth chart prior to that contest.

Coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo's early exit from Friday's practice is "nothing serious at all," Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

According to Duggan, Skattebo went down in the middle of Friday's session and appeared to be stretching out his hamstring, after which he didn't mix into drills the rest of the way. Harbaugh also told Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News that Skattebo is merely working his way back from last season's dislocated right ankle. How Skattebo fares the rest of training camp and the preseason will determine his ultimate workload once Week 1 arrives, with Tyrone Tracy and, to a lesser extent, Devin Singletary also on hand for backfield reps.

During Friday's scrimmage, Tuten started the first drive with the Jaguars' offense with LeQuint Allen mixing in on third down, then Chris Rodriguez started the second drive before rotating with Tuten, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Shipley notes that the Jaguars subsequently settled into a rotation where Tuten would open the drives, Rodriguez would come on the field when the team was within the 10-yard line, and then Allen would play all of the third downs. While this remains an ongoing job battle as Rodriguez works his way back from a foot injury, the scrimmage did at least provide some hints on how the Jaguars could approach their backfield workload come Week 1. For now, things seem to trending toward a committee approach that could result in Tuten and Rodriguez forming a 1A/1B combo, with Allen as a change-of-pace option.
