Jeanty left Sunday's practice with an injury and could not put pressure on his leg while leaving the field, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.

Jeanty went down after diving for a catch and landing awkwardly, and he could not put any pressure on his right leg while being helped off the field by trainers, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. Other Raiders players also were seen taking a knee in acknowledgement after the running back left the field. The exact nature and severity of this apparent injury are still unclear, with McFadden suggesting it could be a knee issue, so it will be worth monitoring further updates on the running back's status. In the event that Jeanty misses any time, Mike Washington is next up for carries in a Las Vegas backfield that also includes Dylan Laube, Roman Hemby and Dare Ogunbowale.

The Jets waived/injured Scott (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Scott will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears, will revert to the Jets' injured reserve list. If he reverts to IR, the undrafted free agent out of Wyoming will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Scott has also played snaps at linebacker, so if he desires a shot at free agency, he could provide a versatile special teams presence for any team in need.

The Jets signed Richardson to a contract Sunday.

Richardson was waived by the Titans last Wednesday and went unclaimed. The running back likely caught on with the Jets due to the injuries to Breece Hall (groin) and Isaiah Davis (knee). Richardson is likely just a preseason depth signing and will not have much sticking power with the team past August.

McCaffrey (undisclosed) said Sunday that he always planned to take a break during training camp and then "ramp back up," Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

McCaffrey returned to practice and participated in team drills Sunday after he had been sitting out with general "tightness" of late. The 30-year-old running back added Sunday that the media attention around his absence was a "firestorm" and that his plan all along was 8-to-10 practices to ramp up, a break and then another ramp up in advance of Week 1, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. McCaffrey recorded a career-high 311 carries for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season games last year. San Francisco will open the 2026 campaign versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Updating a previous report, McCaffrey (undisclosed) participated in team drills during Sunday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

McCaffrey returned to the practice field after sitting out with general "tightness" during training-camp practices and the 49ers' first two preseason games. The running back's participation during team drills is very encouraging for his availability. However, he initially sat out during the early portions of Sunday's team drills, per Tafur, so San Francisco appears to still be monitoring his workload. Given his status, it's unlikely that McCaffrey will suit up for Thursday's preseason finale versus the Raiders. It will be worth monitoring his participation level in practice ahead of the 49ers' Week 1 matchup versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

McCaffrey (undisclosed) was suited up for Sunday's practice but did not participate in team drills, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

McCaffrey had been sidelined this preseason while dealing with general "tightness." His presence in uniform Sunday is a positive step, but the 49ers still appear to be managing the running back's undisclosed issue. It's also unlikely that he'll suit up for San Francisco's preseason finale versus the Raiders on Thursday, so it will be worth monitoring when/if he returns to practice as a full participant ahead of the regular season. The 49ers will open the 2026 campaign versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Gordon injured his ribs during the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

The injury is a minor one, as head coach Jeff Hafley relayed Sunday that Gordon would have been cleared to return had it been a regular-season game. Gordon's practice participation over the coming days will be worth monitoring, as it will indicate whether the 2025 sixth-rounder will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons. He is competing against Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane.

Jackson (undisclosed) was discharged from a local New England hospital and joined his Eagles teammates for their return trip to Philadelphia following Saturday's 24-21 loss, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson suffered a serious injury on the opening kickoff after his head appeared to collide with Lan Larison's leg. Jackson left the field in an ambulance before being taken to a local hospital, where CT scans came back negative. It's the best-case scenario for the Arkansas product, but given what transpired Saturday, it seems unlikely that Jackson will play in Friday's preseason finale against Cincinnati.

McCaffrey (undisclosed) is in uniform for Sunday's training camp practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

McCaffrey has been held out of training camp practices and preseason games due to general "tightness." His return to the practice field Sunday for the first time in nearly three weeks is a positive sign, but it's still unclear what his activity level will be. The superstar running back is unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Raiders, with the focus instead on having McCaffrey 100 percent healthy for Week 1 against the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Price will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Titans, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Not only will Price not play Sunday, he will also be held out of the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Chiefs this Friday. That means the first time that the rookie first-rounder can see in-game action will be Week 1 against the Patriots on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Price saw limited action in Friday's joint practice with the Titans, and head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after that practice that Price is "ramping" up his workload over the final weeks of training camp and into the regular season. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) on the active/PUP list and Price sidelined, George Holani figures to serve as the Seahawks' lead back Sunday, with Velus Jones, Jacardia Wright and Anthony Hankerson also in the mix for snaps.
