Williams is expected to practice after reporting to Rams training camp in the midst of contract negotiations, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Williams was a candidate to stage a hold-in until he got a new deal, but the running back himself dismissed that idea, telling Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com that he'll take the field throughout training camp and even Week 1 if a new contract hasn't been worked out. Williams remains the Rams' unquestioned No. 1 RB on the heels of back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns on the ground in which he also combined for 31 total touchdowns in 28 regular-season games. Next up behind Williams on the depth chart are 2024 third-round pick Blake Corum and rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter.

Williams reported for the start of training camp as contract extension talks with the Rams continue, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that Williams could opt to hold-in and not actually practice, however. The running back participated in offseason activities after Rams GM Les Snead said in March that he wanted to "engineer a long-term partnership" with Williams. The team has made significant investments in the backfield recently, taking Blake Corum in the third round of the 2024 Draft and Jarquez Hunter in the fourth round this year. Williams, meanwhile, is entering the final year of his rookie contract after back-to-back seasons with at least 1,350 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns.

Cook (contract dispute) is reporting for the start of training camp but won't necessarily be a full participant, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Seeking an extension in the final year of his rookie contract, Cook stayed away from the Bills throughout OTAs before showing up for mandatory minicamp in mid-June. Reports back in June weren't optimistic about progress on an extension, but Pelissero notes that Cook still wants to stay in Buffalo. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests Cook may end up "holding in," which would mean attending practices and meetings (and avoiding fines) but not actually practicing.

Free-agent signee Khalil Herbert and rookie fifth-round pick DJ Giddens are expected to compete for backup RB roles behind Taylor, ESPN.com's Stephen Holder reports.

The Colts also still have third-year back Tyler Goodson, who took 43 touches for 214 yards and two TDs last season while splitting work with Trey Sermon (now in Pittsburgh) in the three games Taylor missed. Taylor played a career-high 79.9 percent of snaps in his 14 active games last year, up from 57.7 percent in 2023, 70.2 percent in 2022 and 68.9 percent in 2021. He could lose a few snaps/touches in 2025 if the backup situation improves, but neither Giddens nor Herbert is likely to handle a significant workload. Taylor has averaged at least 17.9 touches and 89.4 total yards per game in each of his five pro seasons, albeit with minimal receiving production and repeated ankle injuries the past few years.

Vaki left practice Monday due to a leg injury, Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News reports.

The exact nature and severity of the injury have yet to be determined. Vaki is competing for a depth role in Detroit's backfield after notching only 51 total yards on offense in his rookie regular season. The 2024 fourth-round draft pick can also play safety and is expected to contribute on special teams once healthy.

Wheeler (undisclosed) was moved to the active/non-football injury list by the Bears on Saturday.

Once Wheeler is ready to return to practice, he can come off the active/NFI list at any time throughout training camp and the preseason. The running back missed his rookie season last year with a knee injury but returned in time for June OTAs. If he can come back for training camp, he should have a chance to compete for a depth role in a backfield led by D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson.

Monangai is a longshot for touches but could climb the Bears' depth chart Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

After being drafted in the seventh round, the rookie enters a crowded backfield behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson. Monangai will likely begin as the RB3 or RB4 but brings a productive college resume, including consecutive 1,200-yard seasons at Rutgers. Unless injuries occur, Monangai may be limited to special teams and spot work early in the year.

Johnson (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Johnson joined the Packers as an undrafted free agent after a very productive collegiate career with South Dakota State as both a running back and kick returner. However, he was facing an uphill battle to make the roster out of training camp, and starting out on the sideline won't help his cause.

Small signed with the Lions on Friday.

Small spent the 2024 season with the Titans' practice squad after joining the team as an undrafted free agent. He'll battle for a roster spot during training camp but will likely face a tough path with the likes of Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki already serving as depth for Detroit at running back.

As the coming season approaches, Gibson and fellow returnee Rhamondre Stevenson will have added competition for backfield touches, with rookie second-rounder TreVeyon Henderson now in the mix, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

In his first season with the Patriots, Gibson worked behind Stevenson, carrying 120 times for 538 yards and a TD, while adding 23 catches for 206 yards in 17 regular-season contests. Looking ahead, Stevenson -- who logged 207 carries in 15 regular-season games in 2024 -- is back to reclaim his share of the team's early-down work, with the presence of the explosive Henderson likely to cut into Gibson's volume. In that context, the 27-year-old is largely off the re-draft radar, but that's something that could change if either Stevenson or Henderson were to miss time at some point.
