The Eagles signed Pierce to the practice squad Monday.

The Eagles cut Pierce on Sunday, and the running back was immediately welcomed onto the team's practice squad. Pierce spent four years with the Texans before shifting to the Chiefs for the 2025 season. The 26-year-old played one game during the 2025 regular season, rushing four times for 10 yards.

The Giants signed Finley to the practice squad Monday.

The Giants waived Finley during Sunday's cutdown day. The undrafted free agent out of Missouri Western cleared waivers and has returned to the team that took a shot on him. The fullback will now provide backfield depth to the Giants from the practice squad.

New Orleans signed Donaldson to its practice squad Monday.

Donaldson cleared waivers after getting cut by the Saints on Sunday, and now he's back with the club as a practice squadder. The undrafted rookie will have to wait to be elevated to potentially make his regular-season debut in 2026.

New Orleans signed White to its practice squad Monday.

White was released Sunday after missing the cut for the Saints' initial 53-man roster, but they brought him back to fill a spot on the practice squad. With Alvin Kamara (knee) and Kendre Miller (undisclosed) both tending to injuries, White could potentially end up being a candidate for elevation as early as Week 1.

The Patriots signed Haskins to the practice squad Monday.

The Patriots cut Haskins last Saturday in anticipation of Sunday's cutdown day. The running back rejoined the team Monday and will compete with Lan Larison for the primary running back role with the practice squad. Haskins participated in all three preseason games, rushing 20 times for 69 yards.

The Patriots signed Larison to the practice squad Monday.

The Patriots waived Larison during Sunday's cut-down day. The running back cleared waivers and will once again rejoin the team that took a chance on him as an undrafted free agent out of UC Davis in 2025. Larison spent the entirety of the 2025 season on the Patriots' IR with a foot issue. The 24-year-old's first shot at an NFL regular-season game could come in 2026 if he is chosen to be elevated or signed to the active roster at any point.

Mason and Aaron Jones are listed as co-starting running backs on the Vikings' unofficial depth chart following cutdown day Sunday, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.

The 49ers dealt Mason to Minnesota in March 2025, and the pairing of him and Jones meant a split backfield last season, with the former getting 173 touches to the latter's 160 along the way. Jones did play in four fewer games than Mason (12 vs. 16), but Mason handled far more carries inside the 20-yard line (29 vs. 14), finishing with six TDs to Jones' three. A similar breakdown of work is expected for the duo in 2026, meaning Mason may have the safer fantasy floor of the two.

Jones and Jordan Mason are listed as co-starting running backs on the Vikings' unofficial depth chart following cut-down day Sunday, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.

Jones and Mason effectively split Minnesota's backfield in 2025, with the former earning 160 touches in 12 regular-season games and the latter getting 173 in 16 such appearances. Mason's goal-line work (29 rushes inside the 20-yard line) helped him total six TDs, while Jones (14 such carries) ended up with only three end-zone visits, which matched the lowest of his career for a campaign. The duo should have a similar breakdown of reps this season, but Jones' age (31) and injury history seemingly make him the riskier of the two to roster for fantasy purposes.

The Vikings signed Dallas to the practice squad Wednesday, Rob Kleifield reports.

The Jaguars released Dallas during Sunday's cut-down day. The running back cleared waivers and has found a new home with the Vikings. Dallas appeared in six games last year, totalling three rush attempts for 21 yards between the Panthers and Jaguars rosters.

The Eagles waived Jackson (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jackson's tenure in Philadelphia has come to an end less than a month after first signing with the team. The 24-year-old will now look to get healthy and catch on with another team.
