  • Sam Scott RB | NYJ

    Sam Scott: Works out with Denver

    The Broncos hosted Scott (undisclosed) for a tryout Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    The Jets waived Scott from injured reserve with an injury settlement Aug. 25. The running back has recovered from his undisclosed injury and is ready to compete for a depth spot on the Broncos or some other franchise. With both J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) and RJ Harvey (hamstring) injured, signing with the Broncos' practice squad could be a fast track to elevation for Scott.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Three touches during MNF

    Singletary rushed three times for nine yards during Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Rams.

    Singletary took a step back in production after showing off his dual-threat abilities in Week 1 against the Cowboys, failing to garner a target versus Los Angeles. The running back finished second in the backfield with 15 offensive snaps behind Cam Skattebo (34), but more importantly ahead of Najee Harris (8), who was making his regular-season debut. Singletary will remain an unappealing fantasy option as long as Skattebo is active.

  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Giants' Najee Harris: Logs four carries in NYG debut

    Harris turned four carries into six yards during the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday.

    Harris was a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Cowboys, but the sixth-year pro suited up for Monday's loss. He ended up playing eight offensive snaps, well behind Cam Skattebo (34) and Devin Singletary (15), though noticeably ahead of Tyrone Tracy (one). Two of Harris' carries also came in the red zone. He figures to be the Giants' RB3 for the time being, but with Jaxson Dart (knee) potentially done for the year, the team's running game will likely take on more importance heading into a Week 3 home tilt against the Titans on Sunday.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Loses spot in backfield rotation

    Tracy played only one offensive snap during the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday.

    Tracy's lone offensive play -- a carry on which he lost three yards in the fourth quarter -- didn't end up counting due to a penalty. The third-year running back did play 16 snaps on special teams and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards. That appears to be Tracy's path to playing time at the moment, as he is firmly behind Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Najee Harris in the backfield pecking order.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Steelers' Rico Dowdle: Viewed as day-to-day

    Dowdle is considered day-to-day after undergoing testing on his toe injury Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Dowdle was carted to the locker room during the second half of Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots, but he appears to have avoided a significant injury. If Dowdle ends up sitting out a Week 3 contest against the Jaguars, Jaylen Warren could be in store for a sizable three-down role out of the Pittsburgh backfield. The No. 3 back, rookie Eli Heidenreich, has yet to receive a touch and has mostly been used on special teams through his first two NFL contests.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Upgrades to full activity

    Robinson (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Listed as a limited participant for Atlanta's walk-through session Monday, Robinson was able to take every rep during Tuesday's session to clear up any concern about his availability heading into Thursday's game at Green Bay. While working in a backup role behind Bijan Robinson for the Falcons' first two games, Brian Robinson has carried 20 times for 82 yards and has recorded two receptions for 16 yards.

  • Seth McGowan RB | IND

    Colts' Seth McGowan: Zero offensive yards in loss

    McGowan rushed twice for zero yards and had two kickoff returns for 58 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    McGowan saw just four offensive snaps in the contest, touchding the ball on half of them. The seventh-round rookie did not make a strong impression against the Chiefs' defensive line, but he proved useful on special teams with a 29-yard average on kickoff returns.

  • Jordan James RB | SF

    49ers' Jordan James: Four carries in fourth quarter

    James saw four carries for 15 yards in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins.

    James saw eight offensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps in the contest. All of the running back's carries came in the final seven minutes of the fourth quarter when the game was all but over.

  • Cowboys' Emari Demercado: Three carries in win

    Demercado had three carries for eight yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.

    Demercado logged just nine offensive snaps in the contest, playing second fiddle to Javonte Williams throughout the day. The running back is primarily a reserve option, with Williams set to be the bell cow as long as he's healthy.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Even timeshare with Williams

    Corum rushed 12 times for 79 yards and brought in his only target for 13 yards in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Corum and Kyren Williams had the exact same number of carries, and the former was just six rushing yards shy of his teammate's total. Corum also was efficient on his one reception, and the 2024 third-round pick, who also recorded 10 carries in Week 1 against the 49ers, appears set to work as a legitimate 1A option in the Rams backfield moving forward. Corum next takes aim at a tough Broncos defense in a Week 3 road showdown on Sunday night.
