Swift (abdomen) is believed to have left Thursday's practice with "a cramp," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Swift was reportedly "in significant discomfort" when leaving Thursday's practice with an apparent abdominal issue, but the early diagnosis seems to suggest he is not dealing with a serious setback. Even still, Swift will carry an injury designation for the time being, and it could be a few days before an official update from the team is released. Both Swift and Kyle Monangai (knee) now find themselves on the injury report, and if either is limited or unavailable altogether in the opener, Roschon Johnson would stand to benefit.

The Titans signed Carter to the practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Carter was released by the Titans on Sunday, but he was back with the organization 24 hours later. The 2021 fourth-round pick of the Jets has appeared in 61 regular-season games with New York and the Cardinals, amassing 1,692 rushing yards off 418 attempts and catching 145 passes for 1,038 yards while totaling 10 total touchdowns (nine rushing, one receiving). Carter has a fair amount of starting experience and put together some serviceable performances for Arizona down the stretch last season, so he could get a chance to see the field for the Titans at some point during the 2026 campaign.

Lampe (undisclosed) visited the Bills on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Lampe was recently waived by the Seahawks with an injury settlement. His visit with the Bills suggests Lampe may be past whatever injury he'd been recovering from.

Marshall was signed to Carolina's practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of Panthers.com reports.

Marshall went undrafted in 2025 but has been affiliated with the Browns ever since, mostly serving as a member of the team's practice squad. However, he didn't make Cleveland's 53-man roster and was cut Sunday. The 24-year-old most recently appeared in three preseason games for the Browns in 2026, amassing 46 yards off 23 carries while adding six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. While Marshall still has a way to go before taking the field for a regular-season game, he will get another opportunity to remain in the league in some capacity with the Panthers' practice squad.

The Jets waived Richardson (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Richardson went to the Jets' IR after taking five rushes for 13 yards in their preseason finale, but he's now on track to hit free agency. In his last season at Tulsa in 2025, he took 212 carries for 1,065 yards and five touchdowns.

The Saints waived Neal (hamstring) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Neal picked up a hamstring injury in early August, and while he returned to practice Aug. 19 and suited up for preseason Week 2 on Aug. 22, he left that contest due to a likely aggravation of that issue, ending up on IR on cut-down day. The terms of his injury settlement aren't known, but once they're met, he'll be eligible to sign with a team.

Johnson currently is the only healthy running back on the Bears' active roster after D'Andre Swift (abdomen) exited Thursday's practice due to an injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

With Kyle Monangai still in recovery mode from a hyperextended knee, Swift was the unquestioned top healthy back in Chicago before he was seen holding at his midsection as he left the field Thursday. Following cutdown day and its aftermath, Johnson now is the lone player at the position who isn't banged up, while Salvon Ahmed is the sole RB on the practice squad. Since the Bears used a fourth-round pick on Johnson in 2023, his role on offense has dwindled in each subsequent campaign, including just two carries and no targets in seven appearances last season.

Swift left Thursday's practice with an apparent injury and "appeared to be in significant discomfort," Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The initial report did not provide further specifics, but per Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune, Swift exited the field holding his "midsection or core area." Backfield mate Kyle Monangai is already working back from a knee issue, so the top two running backs on the depth chart for the Bears will head into the weekend with an injury designation, and Roschon Johnson will be the only ball carrier on the roster without one.

Dillon secured the third running back spot on Carolina's 53-man roster, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Dillon had been in a preseason battle with Trevor Etienne (ankle) for the third spot on the depth chart, but Etienne was placed on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, ruling Etienne out for the first four games of the regular season at minimum. Dillon is behind Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) and Jonathon Brooks (soreness) in the backfield pecking order, but Dillon would have a clear path to playing time early in the season if either of the top two running backs missed any game action.

Hall (groin) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13, Jack Bell of the Jets' official site reports.

Hall is still nursing the groin injury he suffered 17 days ago, but he was originally given a return timetable of 2-to-3 weeks and was spotted running without any noticeable issues on a side field last week. Barring any setbacks, it sounds like Hall should be fine for the season opener. Whether he sees his normal workload is another question, as Braelon Allen has looked the part in practice and during limited preseason action, where he rushed seven times for 48 yards (6.9 YPC) and one touchdown.
