Saquon Barkley RB | PHI
Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Wishes for more plays under center
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports that Barkley has been advocating for more plays to be run under center.
Barkley's most productive campaign on the ground came in 2024, his first year with the Eagles, when he turned 345 carries into 2,005 yards (5.8 YPC) and 13 touchdowns across 16 regular-season games. However, he saw his output dip significantly last year, averaging 4.1 yards per carry for 1,140 yards and seven scores in 16 regular-season contests. Hvaing the offense run from under center more often rather than out of a shotgun formation would allow the veteran running back to survey the defense more clearly and set up big gains. He logged only seven runs of 20-plus yards and three runs of 40-plus yards last year, compared to 17 runs of 20-plus yards and seven runs of 40-plus yards in 2024.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Ravens' Derrick Henry: Expected to maintain workload
Henry is expected to get his normal workload this season but will also be more involved in the passing game, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Henry has logged 280-plus carries in six of his last seven seasons, with the exception being 2021 with the Titans when he was limited to 219 carries in eight regular-season games due to a foot injury. He's routinely seen some of the highest usage among running backs the last few years, and that trend doesn't look like it's going to change in 2026 under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who oversaw Chicago's third-ranked rushing attack last year. The play calling for Henry may look different, however -- the veteran running back has seen more designed runs to the perimeter in training camp, and he's also expected to see more work as a pass catcher. He's the unquestioned bell cow for the Ravens, forming a lethal one-two punch with Lamar Jackson while Justice Hill, Rasheen Ali and rookie fifth-rounder Adam Randall provide depth.

Regardless, now that he's on the Browns' IR, Mathis will be required to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Cleveland.

Joseph Ossai DE | NYJ
Jets' Joseph Ossai: Passes physical, removed from PUP
Ossai (undisclosed) passed his physical and was removed from the Jets' active/PUP list Tuesday.
Ossai opened training camp on the PUP list while tending to an unspecified injury.

Ossai signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Jets in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Bengals. The 2021 third-rounder projects to serve in a rotational role at defensive end behind Will McDonald and 2026 No. 2 overall pick David Bailey.
