Tracy is listed as the No. 1 running back on New York's first unofficial depth chart, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Tracy is unsurprisingly listed as New York's starter, while Devin Singletary and rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring) occupy the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively. Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com reports that Tracy has displayed improved decisiveness in camp entering Year 2, an encouraging development given that the 2024 fifth-round pick's impressive rookie season nonetheless left room for growth (especially in terms of ball security and work as a receiver). Improvements will be necessary for Tracy to retain an unquestioned grip on a full-time starting workload, though he remains the clear favorite to open Week 1 in such a role. Skattebo had begun gathering steam early in camp before picking up a soft-tissue injury, with coach Brian Daboll calling the rookie fourth-rounder day-to-day over the weekend.

Cook (contract) won't practice Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

The hold-in extends to a third straight practice, with Cook showing up to the team facility but refraining from on-field activities for what he's called "business" reasons. He's entering the final year of his rookie contract and seeking an extension after finishing the 2024 regular season with 18 touchdowns in 16 games. Cook took part in June minicamp and the first week-plus of training camp, seemingly without limitations.

Robichaux (undisclosed) reverted to Detroit's injured reserve list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Robichaux was waived with an injury designation Monday, and now that he's cleared waivers, he's going to injured reserve. He figures to sit out the entire 2025 season unless he can work out an injury settlement with the Lions.

The Patriots signed Hasty on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Hasty spent last season in New England, appearing in 15 regular-season contests. He rushed 20 times for 69 scoreless yards, averaging a subpar 3.5 yards per carry. Hasty will try to push Antonio Gibson, Lan Larison and Terrell Jennings for a job behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Walker (foot) returned to practice Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Walker appears to be practicing without restrictions Tuesday after he missed Seattle's prior three training camp sessions due to foot soreness. There are no indications that the issue is related to the ankle injury that cut his 2024 campaign short. Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports that Zach Charbonnet has impressed coach Mike Macdonald and new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak throughout training camp, leading to speculation that he could cut into Walker's workload this season. That said, Walker's toughness and athleticism figure to make him an ideal fit for Kubiak's prioritization of zone rushes, as long as he manages to stay healthy.

Henry and other key starters won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Henry didn't play at all last preseason and probably won't make an appearance this year. He's stayed healthy through the offseason program and the first two weeks of training camp, after signing a two-year, $30 million extension in May.

Saints coach Kellen Moore said Tuesday that Kamara will not suit up for Sunday's preseason opener against the Chargers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Kamara has enjoyed a clean bill of health in training camp, but it's no surprise to see New Orleans take a cautious approach to his preseason participations. Moore said the rest of the team's running backs will suit up versus Los Angeles, so the preseason opener could shed some light on the pecking order behind Kamara. Rookie sixth-rounder Devin Neal (hamstring) seems likely to sit out, but Kendre Miller, Cam Akers and Clyde Edwards-Helaire could get chances to flash.

Williams and the Rams agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $33 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Williams had been heading into the final year of his rookie contract, but the 2022 fifth-round pick is now locked in through 2028, with $23 million of the deal guaranteed. Coming off back-to-back campaigns with more than 1,000 rushing yards, Williams remains atop the backfield depth chart and has proven to be a tremendous fit for coach Sean McVay's offense, with that workhorse role translating into 31 total touchdowns across the last two years. With his contract situation resolved, Williams is one of the safest RB options available in the early rounds of fantasy drafts, due to his chances of leading the league in carries.

Johnson and Ray Davis are getting more first-team reps while James Cook (contract) is absent from practices, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Cook was an observer at the past couple practices, making it clear to reporters that his lack of activity was due to "business" and not an injury. He's seeking an extension ahead of the final year of his rookie contract, now opting for a "hold in" after fully participating in the first week-plus of training camp. Davis presumably would fill in as the lead runner if Cook were to miss time during the regular season, but Johnson could also see his role grow in that scenario. Johnson got most of his playing time in passing situations last year, finishing the regular season with 59 touches for 497 yards and four TDs on 289 offensive snaps.

Saints coach Kellen Moore said Tuesday that Neal (hamstring) will miss "a few weeks" of practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Neal appears destined to at least sit out New Orleans' preseason opener against the Chargers on Sunday, and it sounds as though his status for Aug. 17 versus the Jaguars and Aug. 23 against the Broncos could be in jeopardy as well. The rookie sixth-round pick is competing with Kendre Miller, Cam Akers and Clyde Edwards-Helaire for backfield opportunities behind Alvin Kamara.
