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

Jones joined the Seahawks' training camp roster in early August and played in the team's preseason opener against the Cowboys, when he logged 10 snaps (one on offense, nine on special teams) and logged tackle and one carry for three yards. Assuming he clears waivers, Jones will look to join a team in need of backfield depth and a contributor on special teams.

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

Harden joined the Seahawks on Aug. 5, two days after being let go by the Browns. He played in Seattle's preseason opener against Dallas on Saturday, when he logged 12 snaps (nine on offense, three on special teams) and turned two carries into one yard while recovering a fumble on a punt. Harden -- an undrafted rookie out of SMU -- will look to catch on with a team in need of a running back who can also contribute on special teams.

Ali has an undisclosed injury that forced him to miss the Ravens' preseason opener Saturday against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The running back also had to sit for most of the practice week leading up to that contest, per Hensley. Ali recorded 763 kickoff-return yards in 2025, and if he can return soon enough, he should be in line to play a similar role this season. The fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft remains third on the running back depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

Hankerson and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Hankerson was let go by the Dolphins on Aug. 10, and after clearing waivers, he has now found a new home with Seattle. The running back will have a chance to play in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Titans.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that Harris (Achilles) looked good in Monday's workout, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Harbaugh noted that Harris wasn't in football shape following Tuesday's visit and that bringing in the 2021 first-rounder would "be a process." However, it appears the Giants are open to adding Harris, who continues to recover from a left Achilles tear that he sustained in September. It's unclear how much work Harris would see if he does join the Giants, given that the backfield features Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary.

The follow-up on the groin injury Hall sustained Monday confirmed that the injury is minor, according to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv.

Hughes notes that the Jets will be cautious with the running back, suggesting that Hall may be more week-to-week than day-to-day. However, Hughes did add that all indications are that the Jets' top back will be available for Week 1 action. As a result, Hall's status will need to be monitored closely ahead of the team's Sept. 13 season opener against the Titans. With Isaiah Davis managing a knee injury, Braelon Allen figures to see added first-team RB reps in the coming days.

Monangai hyperextended his right knee at Sunday's practice, and he's expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Monangai was able to walk off the practice field under his own power Sunday after he was tackled from behind by Bears defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported afterward that Monangai's knee was structurally sound, but an MRI has revealed the extent of the issue. With almost four weeks remaining before the Bears open the regular season at Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 13, he seemingly will have enough time to get healthy for that contest. In the meantime, Monangai will focus on rehab with Week 1 in mind.

Price (lower body) participated fully in Monday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Condotta did note that the practice was a non-contact session, but Price worked fully and saw reps with the first-team offense Monday, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, which puts the running back in a position to be available for Sunday's preseason game against the Titans. The Seahawks rested their key healthy skill players in this past Saturday's exhibition opener against the Cowboys. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) trending toward missing time out of the gate this season, Price is primed for a key role in a Seattle backfield that also includes George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring). The team's unofficial depth chart currently lists Holani ahead of Price (listed second) and Wilson (third), but even if Holani sees his share of touches come Week 1, Price -- the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft -- remains the upside play in fantasy terms, given that he also figures to earn a decent portion of the workload once the team's regular-season slate opens Wednesday, Sept. 9 versus the Patriots.

Price (lower body) was present at the start of Monday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Since Price initially missed practice Aug. 8 due to lower-body soreness, the extent of his activity has been work in walkthroughs, and he ended up sitting out Saturday's preseason game versus the Cowboys. It's unclear how much the rookie first-round pick will be able to handle Monday, but his presence generally is a good sign that he's progressing well in his recovery. Fellow RB Zach Charbonnet remains on the active/PUP list due to the ACL tear that he suffered in January and is likely to move to the reserve version of that list to kick off the regular season, and Emanuel Wilson sat out Saturday's contest due to a hamstring issue. As a result, George Holani has been handling most of the first-team backfield reps of late, with Velus Jones, Jacardia Wright and newcomer Anthony Hankerson the other healthy options at the position.

Coleman is trending toward being a real part of a Denver running back rotation that also includes J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) and RJ Harvey, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post.

Coleman, who logged 14 snaps en route to carrying four times for 24 yards in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons, has drawn very positive reviews from coach Sean Payton, per Gabriel. On that topic, Payton noted that the 2026 fourth-rounder -- who is listed at 5-foot-8, 220 pounds -- has good balance and short-area quickness and is a "real good elusive runner for his size." As long as Dobbins and Harvey are healthy and available, steady volume may be hard to come by for Coleman, but the rookie back still has a chance to carve out a change-of-pace role early on, and perhaps more down the road if injuries hit Denver's backfield.
