Holani is competing for the No. 3 running back job after Kenny McIntosh suffered a torn ACL on Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

The Seahawks selected Damien Martinez in the seventh round of this year's draft, but Holani ran with the second team during Tuesday's practice while Martinez worked with the third team. One of the two is likely to land the No. 3 role behind Kenneth Walker -- who didn't practice Tuesday -- and Zach Charbonnet, although Jacardia Wright and D.K. Kaufman are also in the mix. Holani rushed three times for 10 yards through five regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

Travis Etienne seemed to be the feature back during Tuesday's practice, after Bigsby got more work with the starters last week, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Even though Etienne got more work, Bigsby performed well Tuesday, reaching the second level on multiple runs. The big takeaway is that both running backs are playing a lot of first-team snaps, while rookie fourth-round pick Bhayshul Tuten has been limited by a minor hamstring injury. Snaps and touches are up for grabs under new coach Liam Coen, who oversaw a dramatic transformation of Tampa Bay's running game last year.

Achane has impressed during the early portion of training camp, making several big plays at practice Tuesday, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Achane opened 11-on-11 team drills Tuesday with an impressive run, and he logged a pair of big plays to close out the day, including a deep pass from Tua Tagovailoa. It's encouraging to see Achane meshing well with Miami's revamped offensive line, and he remains the Dolphins' clear lead back after a stellar sophomore season in which he tallied career-high totals across the board with 203 carries for 907 yards (4.5 YPC) and six scores, plus an outstanding 78-592-6 receiving line on 87 targets. Miami's decision to replace tight end Jonnu Smith with Darren Waller, who spent last season in retirement, leaves Achane with less target competition in the short and intermediate areas of the field, and the combination of Jaylen Wright, Alexander Mattison and Ollie Gordon look more like threats for short-yardage duties than the overall backfield workload.

The Steelers released Patterson (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Patterson had posted on X on Monday that he was being released, and the official transaction, which gives the Steelers an extra $2.8 million in cap space, became official Tuesday. Patterson has been utilized across multiple positions on offense and has plenty of special-teams experience as a returner, so the veteran should garner interest from teams as the 2025 season approaches.

The Patriots placed Lampe on injured reserve Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury.

It's unclear what type of injury Lampe is working through, but by being placed on IR, he will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he is waived by the Patriots with an injury settlement. The Northern Illinois product was signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in early May.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday that Ahmed has a back injury, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Indianapolis will take a day off from training camp Wednesday, so Ahmed's next opportunity to take the practice field will come Thursday. The veteran running back joined the Colts' practice squad last season after being cut by Denver, but he didn't suit up for regular-season action with either team.

As Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Lions approaches, coach Jim Harbaugh acknowledged that there is still no timetable for the return of Harris (eye) to practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Harris, who sustained an eye injury as the result of a fireworks mishap on the Fourth of July, has been on the active/non-football injury list since July 17, though the running back has been spotted on the field during practice in shorts and a t-shirt. Until he's ready to return to drills, 2025 first-rounder Omarion Hampton should continue to see added first-team reps. Once Harris is cleared to practice, he'll be able to make his case for a key backfield role alongside his highly touted rookie counterpart.

Hampton is in line to play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Lions, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

While coach Jim Harbaugh said that "veteran traditional starters" won't play in the contest, Hampton -- as well as rookie WRs Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith -- is slated to see snaps versus Detroit. Hampton, who was taken 22nd overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, is destined to play a key role this season in a Chargers backfield that also features Najee Harris, who is on the active/non-football injury list after sustaining an eye injury as the result of a fireworks mishap on the Fourth of July.

Pittsburgh signed Nichols on Tuesday.

Nichols spent time on the Eagles' practice squad during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, though he never got a chance to make his regular-season NFL debut with the team. He now gets a chance to compete during training camp with the Steelers.

Ekeler and Deebo Samuel have been returning kickoffs in practice, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

The new touchback rules last season led to 32.8 percent of kicks being returned, up from 21.8 percent the year before. A second increase is coming -- potentially a much bigger one -- after another rule change this offseason to move touchbacks out to the 35-yard line. Last year, over 12 regular-season games played, Ekeler handled 19 of Washington's 37 kick returns, averaging 31.3 yards to finish with the third-most kick return yardage in the league (594). It's a nice little boost in fantasy leagues that count those yards, but in most formats the increased injury risk probably isn't worth the chance of a touchdown every once in a while, especially if return work is also costing the player snaps on offense. That'll likely be Ekeler's reality this season, although he's already off the field plenty given his committee role alongside Brian Robinson in Washington's backfield.
