Allgeier was listed as the starting running back on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart in advance of Sunday's season opener versus the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Head coach Mike LaFleur expressed optimism Tuesday that rookie Jeremiyah Love would be ready to play Sunday after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Cardinals' preseason opener, but the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft isn't expected to handle a workhorse role right away. Allgeier appears well-positioned to have a meaningful role in the Week 1 game plan, whether he ends up starting or not.

Love (ankle) was listed as the No. 2 running back behind Tyler Allgeier on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart released prior to Sunday's season opener versus the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

The third overall pick in this April's draft, Love will eventually settle in as the unquestioned No. 1 option in the backfield, but he could be eased into action while he works his way back from the high-ankle sprain he sustained Aug. 13. Head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that he's optimistic Love will be available Sunday, but even if the rookie manages to practice without limitations by the end of the week, he seems likely to share the load with Allgeier until he's fully up to speed.

Coleman (foot) is listed as one of three starting receivers on the Bills' unofficial depth chart for Sunday's season opener versus the Texans, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

While DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir are secure as Buffalo's top two wideouts, Coleman appears to be ahead of Joshua Palmer for the No. 3 spot. After averaging 9.8 yards per target as a rookie in 2024, Coleman dropped all the way down to 6.8 per game over 13 regular-season contests during his sophomore season and also drew the ire of the coaching staff for his lack of professionalism, leading to him being a healthy scratch on four occasions. Coleman received a clean slate entering 2026, and after a strong showing during minicamp, he continued to make a positive impression in training camp before spraining his right foot in an Aug. 18 preseason game. The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, and if he can return to full practice at some point this week, Coleman could handle a notable role in the passing game in the season opener.

Bell is listed as one of three starting wide receivers on the Dolphins' unofficial depth chart released in advance of Sunday's season opener versus the Raiders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Though team-issued depth charts don't always reflect how players will be used, Miami had previously listed Jalen Tolbert alongside Malik Washington and Caleb Douglas rather than Bell. The rookie appears to have shown enough to leapfrog Tolbert in the pecking order, however. After opening training camp on the non-football injury list while he recovered from an ACL tear, Bell was cleared to practice Aug. 17 and made his lone preseason appearance just under two weeks later, reeling in two of five targets for 22 yards. Even if Bell gets the Week 1 start, the Dolphins could still limit his snaps to some degree.

Davis (knee) was spotted participating in drills with the Jets' other running backs during Tuesday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Davis' involvement in Tuesday's session bodes well for his chances of playing in Week 1. The 24-year-old sat out all three of the Jets' preseason games while tending to a knee injury, but if he has no setbacks in practice, Davis should serve as the No. 3 back behind Breece Hall (groin) and Braelon Allen in Sunday's season opener at Tennessee.

The Bills list all of DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman (foot) ahead of Palmer on their unofficial depth chart for Week 1 posted Tuesday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

During his first season in Buffalo in 2025, Palmer produced a 22-303-0 receiving line on 37 targets over his 12 appearances before missing both of the team's playoff contests due to an ankle injury. Though he was declared fully healthy ahead of training camp, Palmer looks like he may have been surpassed in the pecking order at receiver by Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick who showed promise as a rookie but fell out of favor with the Bills toward the end of the past season. While the Bills retained most of their offensive coaching staff from 2025 with Joe Brady getting promoted from coordinator to head coach after Sean McDermott was dismissed, Coleman appears to be entering the upcoming season with a clean slate and could be prioritized ahead of Palmer, whose need as a vertical threat had already been lessened following the acquisition of Moore.

Walker didn't participate in Tuesday's practice while tending to an undisclosed injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Per Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, Walker was in uniform for the practice session, but he was working out to the side and mostly limited to agility work. The Ravens will post their first Week 1 injury report Wednesday, when the nature of Walker's health concern -- as well as the extent of his practice participation -- will be revealed.

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich suggested Tuesday that Lloyd could be part of a backfield committee to begin the season while Josh Jacobs (personal) remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. "It's gonna be running back by committee for a little bit to see where everyone is at," Stenavich said. "[Lloyd] definitely has explosive ability, playmaking ability."

Though he profiles as the most enticing fantasy option of a backfield group that includes Kaleb Johnson and Chris Brooks, Lloyd doesn't look like he'll be called upon to handle a workhorse role during Jacobs' absence. While Lloyd made it through training camp and the preseason healthy and flashed his upside as both a ball carrier and pass catcher, durability has not been his string suit in the NFL. The 2024 third-round pick been limited to just one career game on account of multiple soft-tissue injuries, in addition to an emergency appendectomy.

Hall (groin) was seen taking part in positional drills during Tuesday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

The Jets won't release their first injury report of the season until Wednesday, but Hall's activity at Tuesday's session offers hope that he might be listed as a full participant. Though Hall had been limited at practice over the past three weeks while nursing a minor right groin strain, the expectation is that he'll be ready to handle a lead role in the backfield during Sunday's season opener versus the Titans.

Sadiq (hernia) was spotted taking part in positional drills during Tuesday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

The rookie first-round pick missed nearly all of training camp and the preseason after experiencing a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery, but Jets head coach Aaron Glenn had been optimistic over the past week that Sadiq would be ready to go for Week 1 against Tennessee. The extensive time he missed over the summer means that he'll likely have to settle for a small role off the bat, and Mason Taylor looks to be the leading candidate to lead the tight-end group in snaps out of the gate.
