Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Lloyd (groin) is not dealing with a long-term injury "but I wouldn't anticipate him this week" at practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lloyd suffered what's been described as a non-contact groin injury during Monday's practice, and while it appears he'll be sidelined until at least next week, it's a positive development to hear that the 2024 third-round pick has at least avoided a long-term issue. As a rookie, Lloyd was limited to one regular-season appearance due to a combination of hip, hamstring and ankle injuries, as well as appendicitis. As long as he can get healthy and then remain on the field, Lloyd will face a real opportunity in training camp to secure the No. 2 role behind workhorse Josh Jacobs, with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as his competition.

The Buccaneers signed Wright on Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Wright will provide Tampa Bay extra depth at running back, as both Josh Williams and D.J. Williams are reportedly dealing with injuries. Wright spent the entirety of last season on Baltimore's injured reserve with a hairline fracture in his foot and will now compete for a spot on the Buccaneers' final roster throughout the remainder of the summer.

Abdullah (foot) tried out with the 49ers on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Abdullah has seemingly recovered from the foot injury he suffered last December and is now trying to catch on with a new team. The 32-year-old spent the 2024 season with the Raiders, where he carried the ball 66 times for 311 yards and two touchdowns in addition to hauling in 40 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns across 16 games played.

Blue got "his first good burn" with the first-team offense at Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Blue displayed elite speed and pass-catching ability with the second unit to earn a shot with Dak Prescott and the first-team offense Wednesday, and the rookie didn't disappoint. Offensive coordinator Klayton Adams raved about Blue after Wednesday's session, saying, "When the ball is in his hands, exciting things happen. He is, in my opinion, blossoming." The 2025 fifth-round pick is competing with veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders for snaps in Dallas' backfield, and it sounds like Blue might be emerging as the frontrunner. The Dallas running back room is wide open headed into the preseason, and Blue is dripping with upside as a talented runner in what should be a high-scoring offense. He checks a lot of the boxes fantasy players look for in a late-round dart throw.

Mitchell has looked like one of the most explosive players on the field early on at the Ravens' training camp, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports.

Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Mitchell would be "fighting for touches" as Baltimore's RB3 behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but if Mitchell is able to get back to the form he showed as a rookie, then there's a chance he will push Hill for playing time and touches. Mitchell was electric with the ball in his hands as a 2023 rookie, posting a 47-396-2 rushing line during the regular season and averaging an otherworldly 8.4 yards per carry. If Henry ever goes down with an injury, Mitchell would be a must-add in fantasy football. He's worth a late-round pick in best-ball formats.

Ford (undisclosed) took part in team drills during Wednesday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Ford resumed practicing Monday in what head coach Kevin Stefanski described as a "limited capacity," but he now appears to be fully recovered from the undisclosed injury he dealt with for roughly one week. After accepting a pay cut to remain with Cleveland earlier this offseason, Ford now finds himself facing significant backfield opportunities, as rookie second-round pick Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned amid legal issues. In the meantime, Ford and rookie fourth-round pick Dylan Sampson figure to split the majority of first-team snaps, with veteran Pierre Strong and UDFA Ahmani Marshall also battling for reps.

Shipley and AJ Dillon are the top candidates for backup roles in Philadelphia's backfield, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

The stylistic difference is drastic, with Dillon a 247-pound bruiser who has 597 career carries in the regular season. Shipley, a fourth-round pick last year, is listed at 209 pounds, and he took just 30 carries in 16 games during his initial NFL regular season. The report notes that Shipley should have a roster spot and a role on special teams even if Dillon earns the No. 2 RB role this summer. The two might ultimately be part of a committee in the event of a Saquon Barkley injury.

Cincinnati released Moss (neck) on Wednesday.

Moss, who sustained a serious season-ending neck injury in 2024, was present for OTAs but then opened training camp on the active/non-football injury list. The move will open up roster space for Trey Hendrickson, who is expected to report to camp Wednesday, to be reinstated from the reserve/did not report list. Moss's release also makes logistical sense for the Bengals' backfield, which figures to heavily feature Chase Brown while rotating Samaje Perine in for change-of-pace reps, with rookie sixth-round pick Tahj Brooks in the No. 3 role. Moss, for his part, isn't far removed from his breakout 2023 campaign with Indianapolis and should be able to resurface as a contributor elsewhere in the league, as long as he's able to get fully healthy.

Harvey has drawn praise early in camp, impressing Denver's coaching staff with his explosiveness and speed, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.

With padded practices underway, Harvey has turned heads with his ability to maintain speed while making quick cuts to avoid defenders. After Tuesday's practice, head coach Sean Payton highlighted a play the rookie running back made during the session, saying Harvey "had a run today that was something, and we kind of turned and looked at each other." The UCF product demonstrated great decision-making on his way to multiple big gains. Harvey has even showed a willingness to step up into oncoming pressure in protection, though Payton noted that this will be an area of his game that needs growth. "For him, specifically, the protections, the speed of the game...there's that learning curve for all young players. Some of it happens a little quicker than others, but he's doing exceptional," Payton said. According to Kosmider, the 24-year-old Harvey and veteran J.K. Dobbins have routinely taken the bulk of snaps with the Broncos' first-team offense. Though the presence of Dobbins likely caps Harvey's potential as a true workhorse back, his continued development could lead to a bigger share of the backfield workload based on Denver's need for explosiveness in the ground game.

James made a strong first impression on the 49ers' coaching staff during team practices in training camp, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.

James was taken in the fifth round of the 2025 Draft in an effort to bolster San Francisco's backfield depth after veteran backups Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason departed this offseason. The 21-year-old James stood out in padded practices, drawing praise from head coach Kyle Shanahan for his ability to "hit the holes hard" and from offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak for his ability to pick up blitzes. Starter Christian McCaffrey and backup Isaac Guerendo will sit atop the RB depth chart to start the regular season, but James has put himself in position to win the No. 3 role.
