  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Injury not believed to be serious

    Tracy (neck) is dealing with a stinger, but it is not believed to be a major injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Tracy left Friday's preseason victory over the Jets with the injury, but head coach John Harbaugh indicated afterward it is not a serious setback. Tracy had four carries for 37 yards and a touchdown prior to his exit, which is the showing he needed in what is now a crowded Giants running back room.

  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Giants' Najee Harris: Gets 12 touches Friday while Tracy exits

    Harris rushed 11 times for 39 yards and added a 20-yard reception on his lone target in Friday's 23-6 preseason win over the Jets.

    Harris was the first running back to record a touch for the Giants in Friday's preseason finale, which Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary sat out. Fellow RB Tyrone Tracy (neck) left the game in the second quarter and didn't return, though Tracy managed to clear concussion protocol. The Giants may opt to keep all four of Skattebo, Singletary, Harris and Tracy on their roster once they cut down to 53 players for the regular season.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Six touches to close out preseason

    Tucker rushed five times for 15 yards and secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 19-0 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Friday.

    Tucker closed out a relatively non-descript preseason with Friday's showing, although it began in promising fashion courtesy of an eight-yard run on Tampa Bay's first play from scrimmage. Tucker almost certainly has the No. 3 running back job sewn up, but he may have an uphill battle for consistent week-to-week touches as long as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell are healthy in front of him.

  • Trevor Etienne RB | CAR

    Panthers' Trevor Etienne: Dealing with ankle issue

    Etienne (ankle) is being evaluated to diagnose the extent of his injury, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

    Etienne rushed one time for two yards in Friday's preseason finale against the Texans. The running back is set to be the starting kick and punt returner for the Panthers, as well as the primary depth behind the split backfield of Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) and Jonathon Brooks. If Etienne's injury requires him to miss the Week 1 game against the Bears, AJ Dillon will likely be the No. 3 running back, while Jimmy Horn and David Moore could return kicks and punts.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: TD, fumble in preseason finale

    Robinson rushed five times for 14 yards and a touchdown, caught his only target for nine yards and lost a fumble in Friday's 17-12 preseason win over the Dolphins.

    Robinson played the first quarter with most of Atlanta's starters as the Falcons held Bijan Robinson out of the exhibition slate. Brian Robinson, an offseason acquisition, capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown run but lost a fumble two drives later, matching Tua Tagovailoa's fumble on the possession in between. Come Week 1 against the Steelers, Brian is expected to work as Bijan's top backup in an all-Robinson 1-2 punch.

  • Chip Trayanum RB | NYJ

    Jets' Chip Trayanum: Suffers neck injury

    Trayanum (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday night's preseason finale against the Giants.

    Trayanum suffered a possibly significant neck injury in the third quarter and is on his way to the hospital. The running back remains conscious and in control of his extremities. The undrafted free agent out of Toledo signed with the Jets in early May and is competing for a depth role.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Won't return Friday

    Tracy (neck) cleared concussion protocol but will not return to Friday's preseason game against the Jets, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    Tracy sustained an apparent neck injury during an eight-yard run in the second quarter. The good news for the third-year running back is that he was not diagnosed with a concussion, and he'll finish his night with four carries for 37 yards and a touchdown. How Tracy's neck reacts over the coming days will determine what his practice participation will look like leading up to Week 1 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Held out of exhibition finale

    Stevenson didn't play in a preseason loss to the Browns on Thursday.

    The Patriots rested their projected regular-season starters Thursday, so Stevenson's absence was par for the course. He didn't see any game action during the preseason slate but appears back to full health after dealing with a minor undisclosed injury in late July. Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, who is dealing with an ankle injury but is expected to be ready for Week 1, are slated to share backfield duties for New England during the upcoming campaign.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Goes to locker room

    Tracy went to the locker room during Friday's preseason game against the Jets due to an apparent neck injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Tracy was tended to by medical staff after taking a big hit on an eight-yard run during the second quarter. The good news was that he was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his own power. Given that he's being checked for a neck injury, it appears unlikely that Tracy will return to Friday's exhibition contest. If he's indeed done, he''ll finish with four carries for 37 yards and a touchdown.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Doesn't suit up for preseason finale

    Judkins didn't play in Thursday's exhibition win over New England.

    Judkins also missed the team's second preseason game due to an undisclosed injury, but he returned to practice this past Monday and seems to be past the issue. He ended up logging action in only the first of the Browns' exhibition contests, when he carried four times for nine yards. Judkins is the clear No. 1 RB for Cleveland and could be headed for a heavy workload on a team that may again deploy a shaky passing game.
