Head coach Dan Campbell said Saturday that Reynolds (leg) should be available for the Lions' regular-season opener against the Rams on Sept. 8, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Reynolds sustained a leg injury during Thursday's practice, which kept him out of Detroit's preseason finale against Pittsburgh on Saturday. He is competing against Sione Vaki for the No. 3 running back role behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Reynolds accumulated 16 rushing yards on five carries over his two preseason appearances.

Hubbard rushed three times for 15 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 31-26 preseason win over the Bills.

Hubbard played the opening drive with Carolina's other starters, while Miles Sanders mixed in later with the backups, suggesting that Hubbard occupies the top spot on the depth chart heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Saints. Rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) could challenge for the starting job eventually, but Brooks isn't expected to be available until Week 3 at the earliest.

Wright is expected to undergo surgery for a hairline fracture in his foot that he sustained in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The injury isn't considered to be season-ending, but Zrebiec notes that the Ravens will now have to make a decision on whether to retain Wright on the roster at the conclusion of training camp. Wright was a strong contender to win the No. 3 running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but now his spot on the Ravens' roster is in jeopardy. Between Wright's injury and Keaton Mitchell (knee) still being on the active/PUP list, the door has opened for Rasheen Ali and Chris Collier to compete for the third running back spot behind Henry and Hill as training camp winds down.

Gore is scheduled to undergo X-rays after injuring his knee during Saturday's preseason game against Carolina, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Gore was having a tremendous outing in the Bills' preseason finale, racking up 101 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries before suffering the knee injury. He has been competing against Ray Davis, Ty Johnson and Darrynton Evans (hamstring) for the backup running back job behind James Cook. The results of the X-rays will be a crucial factor toward Gore's chances of making Buffalo's final 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.

Wright was diagnosed with a broken foot following Saturday's preseason loss to the Packers, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Wright rushed for 10 yards on three carries in Saturday's contest, but he was carted back to the locker room after injuring his foot. With Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, Wright was making a strong case toward winning the No. 3 running back job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. However, Wright's injury from Saturday's game complicates his path toward a spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster.

Gore (knee) is out for the rest of Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.

The undrafted rookie was having himself a day before leaving late in the game, carrying the ball 18 times for 101 yards and a touchdown before exiting. Gore is fighting for a roster spot on a thin running back depth chart behind starter James Cook. The son of longtime NFL back Frank Gore recorded 4,022 yards and 26 touchdowns during a four-year college career at Southern Miss. Making matters worse for the Bills, fellow running back Darrynton Evans suffered a hamstring injury prior to Gore's injury and also had to leave the contest.

Wright (undisclosed) was carted off the field with an apparent lower-body injury during the Ravens' preseason game against the Packers on Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports.

Wright carried the ball three times for 10 yards before exiting. The running back is in competition for the third slot on the Ravens' depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, per Shaffer. The second-year pro appeared in one game and on zero offensive snaps for Baltimore in 2023.

Evans (hamstring) is out for the rest of Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.

The running back -- who is fighting for a roster spot -- carried the ball three times for 15 yards and caught two passes for 24 yards and a score before exiting. Evans signed with the Bills in January after spending 2023 with the Bears and Dolphins, carrying the ball 32 times for 121 yards and a score over seven regular-season games.

Laube rushed three times for 12 yards and added one catch on one target for six yards in Friday's preseason tie with the 49ers. He also lost a fumble and returned a kickoff for 24 yards.

Las Vegas sat most of its starters in the contest, and Laube was thus handed the start. He ripped off a nice eight-yard run on his second carry but ended his day on a sour note, losing a fumble following a six-yard reception late in the first quarter. That Laube suited up Friday while Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Alexander Mattison all sat could be a hint about where he stands in the running back pecking order. He could see more work in the return game than as a ball carrier in his rookie campaign.

Mixon is among the Texans' key players not in line to see action in Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Per Wilson, the same applies to QB C.J. Stroud, RBs Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale as well as WRs Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Robert Woods. Come Week 1, Mixon is slated to lead the Texans' backfield against the Colts.
