Jackson (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Eagles on Monday.

The running back suffered an injury that forced play to be stopped for several minutes after the opening kickoff of Philadelphia's preseason game with New England on Saturday. Jackson left the field in an ambulance and had to be taken to a local hospital, but his CT scans came back negative. His status remains unclear, but if he can get healthy enough to play, he will need to reach an injury settlement with Philadelphia to have a chance to see the field in 2026.

Jordan (hip) did not participate at practice Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jordan suffered a hip flexor strain at practice in early August, and he still appears to be less than 100 percent. Fellow running back British Brooks (hand) returned to practice Monday after missing three weeks following hand surgery, and the two players are battling to secure a spot on Houston's initial 53-man roster as reserve options behind Woody Marks and David Montgomery.

Pitsenberger (ankle) reached an injury settlement with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The running back was placed on injured reserve Aug. 15 after suffering an ankle injury in a preseason loss to the Chargers. Now that Pitsenberger has reached a settlement with Houston, he has a chance to play in 2026. Wilson reported that the Yale product is dealing with a "three-week injury."

The Lions waived Robichaux (foot) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Robichaux fractured his foot during the Lions' 16-14 preseason loss to the Bengals on Aug. 13. He was set to miss the entire 2026 season after reverting to injured reserve, but the settlement allows Robichaux to sign with a team once he's fully healthy.

The Eagles signed Mims to a contract Monday.

Mims will join the Eagles for the final week of training camp after being waived by the Vikings on Aug. 12. He's unlikely to make the 53-man roster by the end of training camp, but a strong week of practice and a nice performance in Friday's preseason finale against the Bengals could be enough to convince the Eagles' coaching staff to keep Mims around on the practice squad.

The Seahawks waived Hankerson on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Hankerson caught on with the Seahawks on Aug. 17 and played 24 snaps (18 on offense, six on special teams) in Sunday's 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans, when he turned five carries into 10 yards and hauled in both of his targets for nine yards. The undrafted rookie out of Oregon State will attempt to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth and a contributor on special teams.

Brooks (hand) was back at practice with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brooks broke his hand at practice and underwent surgery in early August, but he was able to return to the practice field after a three-week absence. The running back is competing for a spot on Houston's 53-man roster in 2026, and he'll look to be ready to go for Friday's preseason finale in Carolina.

The Lions placed Blackshear (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.

The nature of Blackshear's injury is unclear, though he may have sustained it during the Lions' 17-13 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday. However, his placement on injured reserve means he'll be sidelined for the 2026 season, though an injury settlement would allow Blackshear to sign and play with a team once fully healthy.

Conner (foot) didn't take part in Monday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Conner hasn't played in any of the Cardinals' three preseason games so far and also hasn't been seen for the last handful of practices. He's dealing with lingering issues related to the foot surgery he underwent last fall and ended his season after Week 3. With Trey Benson (knee) getting waived/injured Monday, Conner is the top running back behind the duo of rookie third overall pick Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Tyler Allgeier. Until Conner gets back on the field, though, Bam Knight is the team's likely No. 3 RB.

Ali (undisclosed) was cleared to participate in Monday's training camp practice, Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Ali has been held out of each of the Ravens' first two preseason games while tending to an undisclosed injury. His return to the practice field Monday is a positive sign in his recovery and puts the 2024 fifth-rounder on track to play against the Commanders in Friday's preseason finale. Ali is slated to serve as Baltimore's primary returner on kickoffs while serving as the RB3 behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.
