Harvey rushed seven times for 25 yards and brought in one of two targets for four yards in the Broncos' 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers on Saturday night.

Harvey had a prominent role in the Broncos' first possession, logging Denver's first touch and gaining three yards on that carry, then recording two more rush attempts totaling eight more yards later in the drive. The rookie second-round pick finished second in carries to Audric Estime, and he'll continue jostling for slotting in a busy Broncos backfield during the second preseason game against the Cardinals next Saturday night.

Benson rushed nine times for 29 yards and brought in his only target for 20 yards during the Cardinals' 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.

The second-year pro, who's projected to see an increased role in the coming season, fittingly led the Cardinals in rush attempts on the night. Benson logged his first touch on Arizona's second possession, recording a nine-yard run. The FSU product also had a nice chunk gain on his one catch, and he's likely to fill another robust role by preseason standards during the Cardinals' second exhibition tilt against the Broncos on the road next Saturday night.

Allen rushed eight times for 33 yards and failed to bring in his only target during the Jets' 30-10 preseason win over the Packers on Saturday night.

The second-year back saw Breece Hall take the first two carries, but Allen went on to rip off his game-long 14-yard rush on his first touch later in New York's first possession. Allen went on to log four more rush attempts on the Jets' second drive, and although he didn't record any other noteworthy gains, the timing of Allen's usage within the game underscores the fact he's projected for a role that will net more than the 111 total touches he recorded across 17 regular-season games during his rookie 2024 campaign. Allen is likely to see another solid workload during next Saturday night's second preseason game against the Giants.

Hurleman secured two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Hurleman is one of three undrafted rookie receivers in camp with the Steelers, and all three of them had impressive showings during Saturday's preseason opener, as Ke'Shawn Williams secured both of his targets for a team-high 55 yards and a touchdown, while Roc Taylor secured two of three targets for 38 yards. Hurleman made an impact during the Steelers' two-minute drill to close out the first half, securing a 26-yard reception to put the team near the goal line before recording a three-yard touchdown catch on the next play that was accented by a backflip. Hurleman showcased some speed Saturday and could make a case for a spot on the Steelers' 53-man roster if he can continue to make an impression in the weeks leading up to the regular season.

Conner rushed three times for 11 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.

Conner logged one- and three-yard gains on two of Arizona's first four plays from scrimmage, and he added his most productive run of the night, seven yards, on his final touch of the game later in the drive. The veteran back, who's coming off the first two 1,000-yard seasons of his career, is already on record as saying he expects backfield mate Trey Benson to see a significant boost in workload in 2025, but Conner should still enjoy a solid complementary role at minimum, given his all-around reliability and his versatility.

Sermon rushed three times for seven yards while securing all four of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

While Sermon didn't make much of an impact on the ground during Saturday's preseason opener, he tied for the team lead in targets and receptions while also reaching the end zone in the third quarter. The 2021 third-rounder signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in May and is competing with Kenneth Gainwell, Evan Hull and Lew Nichols for a spot on the 53-man roster behind Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson.

Pacheco rushed once for eight yards in the Chiefs' 20-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

Pacheco got the Chiefs' first touch of the night and made good use of it, but that would be the extent of his action in the preseason opener. The third-year back gave way to Kareem Hunt on Kansas City's second possession, but a heavier workload could certainly be on tap during the Chiefs' second preseason matchup Friday night on the road against the Seahawks.

Dobbins did not log a rush attempt and brought in his only target for four yards in the Broncos' 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers on Saturday night.

Dobbins' only touch of the night came on Denver's first possession, one play after his first target of the night fell incomplete but was wiped off the books by an illegal use of hands penalty against San Francisco. Dobbins was the only one of the top four backs on Denver's depth chart not to log a carry -- RJ Harvey, Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin combined for 18 rush attempts -- but the veteran is almost certain to open the campaign in a prominent role and could certainly see more action in Denver's second preseason contest next Saturday night at home against the Cardinals.

Hunter rushed 11 times for 41 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 31-21 preseason win over the Cowboys. He also had a 21-yard kickoff return.

Hunter returned the opening kickoff but didn't get his first touch on offense until the Rams' second drive. Both that possession and the first one were capped by Blake Corum touchdown runs, as Corum took advantage of the team sitting starter Kyren Williams. Hunter continued to play into the second half, and it looks like the rookie fourth-round pick is sitting firmly in third on the running depth chart behind Williams and Corum heading into the Rams' second preseason game against the Chargers on Aug. 16.

Tuten rushed the ball six times for 24 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-25 preseason loss to the Steelers.

Tuten tied for the team lead in carries but served as the third back. Travis Etienne worked exclusively with the starting skill-position unit, with Tank Bigsby following him. That left Tuten to work primarily late in the second quarter and much of the second half. He did find the end zone from eight yards away early in the fourth quarter, but his role come the regular season is in question.
