Hunt rushed twice for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for five yards during the Chiefs' 20-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

Hunt followed Isiah Pacheco into the game and played on the Chiefs' second possession, when he logged all three of his touches. The veteran back enjoyed his return to Kansas City last season and proved he had plenty left in the tank by recording 904 total yards and seven rushing TDs across 13 regular-season games. After re-signing on a one-year deal this offseason, Hunt once again figures to serve in a likely No. 2 role as long as he can hold off offseason addition Elijah Mitchell.

Harvey rushed seven times for 25 yards and brought in one of two targets for four yards in the Broncos' 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers on Saturday night.

Harvey had a prominent role in the Broncos' first possession, logging Denver's first touch and gaining three yards on that carry, then recording two more rush attempts totaling eight more yards later in the drive. The rookie second-round pick finished second in carries to Audric Estime, and he'll continue jostling for slotting in a busy Broncos backfield during the second preseason game against the Cardinals next Saturday night.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Beal (groin) suffered an injury late during the team's 30-9 preseason loss to Denver, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Beal will have a week to try and get healthy ahead of the 49ers' next preseason matchup, which will occur Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Raiders. The 2023 fifth-round pick is competing for depth opportunities at defensive end.

Benson rushed nine times for 29 yards and brought in his only target for 20 yards during the Cardinals' 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.

The second-year pro, who's projected to see an increased role in the coming season, fittingly led the Cardinals in rush attempts on the night. Benson logged his first touch on Arizona's second possession, recording a nine-yard run. The FSU product also had a nice chunk gain on his one catch, and he's likely to fill another robust role by preseason standards during the Cardinals' second exhibition tilt against the Broncos on the road next Saturday night.

Doubs failed to bring in either of his two targets during the Packers' 30-10 preseason loss to the Jets on Saturday night.

Doubs was the intended receiver on Jordan Love's first two pass attempts, which came on Green Bay's first and third plays from scrimmage. The fourth-year pro saw a slight downturn in 2024 while missing four regular-season games due to injury, but he could be key to helping the Packers fill the void created by Christian Watson's (PUP-knee) projected early-season absence.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Sigle will still undergo testing but that initial indications are that he's avoided a serious knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Sigle was forced out of Saturday's 30-9 preseason loss to the Broncos early due to a knee issue, and Shanahan praised the rookie fifth-round pick's level of play prior to his departure. It remains to be seen, however, whether Sigle's injury will impact his status for the 49ers' next preseason contest on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Las Vegas.

Allen rushed eight times for 33 yards and failed to bring in his only target during the Jets' 30-10 preseason win over the Packers on Saturday night.

The second-year back saw Breece Hall take the first two carries, but Allen went on to rip off his game-long 14-yard rush on his first touch later in New York's first possession. Allen went on to log four more rush attempts on the Jets' second drive, and although he didn't record any other noteworthy gains, the timing of Allen's usage within the game underscores the fact he's projected for a role that will net more than the 111 total touches he recorded across 17 regular-season games during his rookie 2024 campaign. Allen is likely to see another solid workload during next Saturday night's second preseason game against the Giants.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Saturday that Henningsen (Achilles) will undergo surgery and miss the entire 2025 season, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Henningsen is done for the year due to a torn Achilles suffered during Thursday's joint practice with the 49ers. The 2022 sixth-round pick will now turn his attention toward getting healthy for the 2026 campaign.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Saturday that Bush suffered a torn left Achilles tendon during Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Broncos, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Bush will miss the entire 2025 season due to the nature of the injury he picked up during Kansas City's preseason opener. Expect the Chiefs to officially place the veteran safety on IR in the coming days.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Saturday that Jackson picked up a thumb injury during Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson failed to secure his only target during Saturday's preseason win. As he continues to compete for a depth wide receiver spot on Arizona's final 53-man roster, Jackson's next task will be to get healthy in time for the Cardinals' next preseason clash, Saturday, Aug. 16 versus the Broncos.
