  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Giants' Najee Harris: Active for Week 2

    Harris is active for Monday's game against the Rams, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

    Harris was a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Cowboys, but the sixth-year pro will suit up for Monday's road game in Los Angeles. Cam Skattebo will lead the Giants backfield, and Devin Singletary should serve as the team's change-of-pace back, but Harris could see more snaps on offense than Tyrone Tracy, given that the latter coughed up a fumble last week against Dallas.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Only three touches in Week 2 win

    Perine logged two carries for six yards and hauled in his lone target for 16 yards during the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Perine's three touches were well behind starter Chase Brown's 25, with the former playing 24 of 60 offensive snaps (40.0 percent). Perine's 16-yard catch midway through the third quarter converted a third-and-7 for the Bengals and led to an 18-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase five plays later. Perine is up to 72 scrimmage yards through two regular-season games and is firmly entrenched as the Bengals' RB2 behind Brown. Up next is a Week 3 AFC North tilt against the Steelers, whose defense gave up 119 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries between TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson in a Week 2 loss to the Patriots.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Dealing with ankle injury

    Robinson was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice due to an ankle injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    The ankle issue is a new concern for Robinson, who has thus far parlayed 22 touches for 98 total yards through the first two games of the season while operating in a backup role behind Bijan Robinson. Brian Robinson will have two more chances to potentially upgrade to full practice activity, which would clear the way for him to play Thursday at Green Bay.

  • Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Week-to-week with groin injury

    Brooks is considered week-to-week while he receives further medical opinions on the groin injury he sustained in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

    The Panthers are unlikely to provide a formal update on Brooks' status until he gets checked out by multiple doctors, but the running back appears destined to miss time after tweaking the same groin that he first injured during training camp. Brooks had been operating as the clear No. 2 option out of the backfield behind Chuba Hubbard through the first two weeks of the season, logging 19 and 33 percent snap shares in those contests while carrying nine times for 30 yards and recording two catches for 43 yards on three targets.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Unimpressive in 2026 debut

    Kamara rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught five of six targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens.

    It's difficult to be less efficient than this, as Kamara's 14 opportunities produced a total of 22 yards. It was the veteran running back's season debut after he missed the entire preseason and Week 1 recovering from a sprained MCL. Kamara made the start alongside Travis Etienne, who turned his eight carries into 25 yards while securing both of his targets for six yards. The Saints continue to use a full-blown three-man committee out of the backfield, as Etienne led the trio with 37 snaps to Kamara's 20 and CJ Donaldson's 20. Now 31 years old and coming off a knee injury, Kamara may not have a whole lot left in the tank.

  • Chiefs' Emmett Johnson: Could carve out bigger role

    Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Johnson could carve out a bigger role on offense as the season goes along, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

    "As it goes on, I think you get a nice balance between those two (Johnson and Kenneth Walker), and it keeps them even fresher as the season goes on," Reid said. Johnson handled just four touches on offense in Sunday night's overtime win against the Colts, but he turned them into 35 yards and has looked like a legitimate playmaker two weeks into the 2026 campaign. He's solidified himself as one of the premier fantasy bench stashes at running back behind Walker.

  • Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Undergoing tests on groin injury

    Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Brooks is having tests done on the groin injury that he sustained during Sunday's 34-3 win in Atlanta, and an update on the running back's health will arrive Wednesday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

    Prior to leaving the Panthers' Week 2 contest in the fourth quarter, Brooks mustered five carries for 16 yards and one catch for minus-5 yards, while fellow RB Chuba Hubbard had 12 rushes for 53 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards and one TD. Based on Canales' comments, it's unclear if Brooks is in danger of missing any time, but AJ Dillon would be the next player up in the backfield if Brooks needs time on the sideline.

  • Jadarian Price RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Dealing with shoulder injury

    Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Price suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's win at Arizona, but "it's intact and nothing serious, it seems like," Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    When Price was accompanied by team trainers to the locker room with his pads off during the fourth quarter Sunday, he was considered questionable to return due to a chest issue. Macdonald told Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle afterward that X-rays were returned negative, and additional comments from the head coach one day later indicate the rookie first-round pick may not miss any time. Ultimately, how Price fares in practice Wednesday through Friday will determine his availability for next Sunday's game at Washington. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are the next players up in the Seahawks backfield.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Looking good after hamstring scare

    The Broncos believe that Dobbins' injured hamstring is "good" heading into next Sunday's game against the Rams, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

    The latest news on Dobbins aligns with what James Palmer of Bleacher Report previously relayed following the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday, when Dobbins made an early exit due to a "slight" hamstring issue. While the Broncos are optimistic that Dobbins won't have to miss any time, his activity during practices Wednesday through Friday will ultimately determine whether he suits up against the Rams. Denver could have all of its key backfield members available for Week 3, as head coach Sean Payton suggested during his press conference Monday that RJ Harvey (hamstring) could return to action after sitting out against the Jaguars, per Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Hoping to play Week 3

    The Broncos are optimistic that Dobbins sustained only a minor hamstring injury during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars and will be available to play Week 3 versus the Rams, James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports.

    Dobbins has been far from a picture of durability during his seven-year NFL career, but early indications are that his latest setback on the health front isn't anything significant. The Broncos haven't provided word that Dobbins will be sent in for an MRI, and the team likely will use his activity in practices Wednesday through Friday to determine his availability heading into next Sunday's game. With RJ Harvey (hamstring) inactive against the Jaguars and with Dobbins making an early exit, rookie Jonah Coleman (10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, three catches for 19 yards) ended up finishing the contest as the Broncos' top option out of the backfield.
