• Eagles' Carson Steele: Reverts to IR

  Rotowire Oct 22, 2026

  Steele (shoulder) reverted to the Eagles' injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction list. Steele played just 12 snaps (three on offense, nine on special teams) for the Eagles in Week 6 before exiting with a dislocated shoulder. The 24-year-old joins fellow running backs Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) on IR. Damien Pierce is the only healthy running back on the roster, though, Saquon Barkley was also present at practice and a candidate to return for Week 7 after missing the last two weeks with a hamstring injury.

• Carson Steele: Waived/injured by Philadelphia

  Rotowire Oct 20, 2026

  Steele (shoulder) was waived/injured by the Eagles on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Steele suffered a shoulder injury during the team's loss to the Panthers in Week 6, and he will now revert to injured reserve with Philadelphia if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The running back played three snaps on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit versus Carolina, reeling in one of two targets for four yards. In a corresponding move, the Eagles signed Elijah Mitchell to the practice squad Tuesday.

• Eagles' Carson Steele: Ruled out with shoulder injury

  Rotowire Oct 18, 2026

  Steele has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a shoulder injury. Steele exited the first quarter of Sunday's game with the injury before returning briefly in the second quarter. The running back exited the game shortly thereafter, when he appearing to aggravate the initial injury on kickoff coverage. Signed to the 53-man roster last week to add depth to an injury-plagued running back room, Steele didn't log any carries and recorded a four-yard reception on two targets prior to leaving the game.

  Rotowire Oct 18, 2026

  Steele (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers. Steele exited the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Panthers with a shoulder injury. Jaydon Blue will be the only reserve running back behind starter Dameon Pierce if Steele cannot return to the contest.

• Eagles' Carson Steele: Signed to Philadelphia's 53-man roster

  Rotowire Oct 9, 2026

  The Eagles signed Steele off the practice squad to the active roster Friday. Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is considered week-to-week and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) is on injured reserve, so the Eagles added depth to their backfield by signing Steele to the 53-man roster. Steele and Dameon Pierce will operate in rotational roles behind Will Shipley, who will operate as the Eagles' RB1 against the Jaguars on Sunday.

• Carson Steele: Catches on with Philly's practice squad

  Rotowire Sep 2, 2026

  The Eagles signed Steele to the practice squad Monday. The Eagles waived Steele last Saturday. The running back was able to clear waivers and was invited back to the team's practice squad as a free agent. Steele played in all three preseason games for the Eagles, logging 21 rush attempts for 58 yards as well as 14 receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old will contribute to the practice squad as a reserve running back with dual-threat upside.

• Carson Steele: Dropped by Philly

  Rotowire Aug 29, 2026

  The Eagles waived Steele on Saturday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Steele signed a future deal with the Eagles in January. The running back played in all three preseason games for the team, logging 21 rush attempts for 59 yards as well as 14 receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old may not have made the 53-man roster, but if he clears Monday's waiver period without being claimed, there is a strong chance he will end up back with the Eagles on the practice squad.

• Eagles' Carson Steele: Gets chance with Eagles

  Rotowire Jan 13, 2026

  Philadelphia signed Steele to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Steele didn't log a single regular-season appearance in 2025, though he did spend time on Kansas City's practice squad. Next, the hybrid fullback/running back will get an opportunity to compete for a depth role in the Eagles' backfield this offseason.

• Carson Steele: Joins KC's practice squad

  Rotowire Aug 27, 2025

  Steele signed with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Steele failed to make the 53-man roster out of training camp but went unclaimed on waivers, so he'll stick with the Chiefs organization. He can contribute as either a running back or fullback in the backfield, but Steele isn't guaranteed to be the next man up if injuries strike, as Clyde Edwards-Helaire is also signing with Kansas City's practice squad.

• Carson Steele: Time up in Kansas City

  Rotowire Aug 26, 2025

  The Chiefs waived Steele on Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Steele's opportunity with the Chiefs ends as the process of cutting down to a 53-man roster begins. As a rookie last season, Steele suited up for all 17 regular-season games and logged 56 carries for 183 yards (3.3 YPC) with zero touchdowns. He also secured seven of 11 targets for 22 yards and fumbled three times, losing two. The hybrid fullback/running back is a capable blocker in pass protection and can contribute on special teams, so he figures to draw interest as a practice squad candidate around the league.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Early impact as rookie

  Rotowire Feb 13, 2025

  Steele rushed 56 times for 183 yards and hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 26 yards in 17 games during the 2025 regular season. Steele was immediately asked to contribute as a rookie, including a 17-carry effort against the Falcons in Week 3. However, his contributions waned as the season wore on following the addition of Kareem Hunt as a free-agent signing and the return of Isiah Pacheco from a rib injury. Hunt and Samaje Perine were on one-year deals with the Chiefs, making the pair free agents ahead of the 2025 campaign. Even so, the front office presumably will add another couple of backs to the room during the offseason via free agency or the draft. Steele likely will need to earn his way up the depth chart behind Pacheco heading into next year.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Picks up 27 yards in Week 18

  Rotowire Jan 6, 2025

  Steele rushed the ball eight times for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on two targets for two yards. The Chiefs sat Isiah Pacheco (coach's decision) while Samaje Perine drew only two touches, leaving most of the work out of the backfield to Steele. That didn't amount to much with all of Kansas City's top skill-position players sitting, as the team netted only 98 yards on offense while running just 33 plays. Steele has played primarily on special teams since Week 4, and that will almost certainly be his role throughout the team's postseason run.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Set for extended look in Week 18

  Rotowire Jan 1, 2025

  Steele said Wednesday that he's been told he'll receive "extra work" Sunday against Denver, though the specifics of his role aren't yet clear, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. The Chiefs will be resting most of their starters in the regular-season finale with the team having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. Isiah Pacheco almost certainly won't play since he's dealing with a rib injury, while Kareem Hunt -- who has been co-leading the backfield with Pacheco of late -- probably will see limited work, if any. The likely absences or limitations placed on Pacheco and Hunt would leave most of the snaps at running back available for Steele and Samaje Perine. Steele has suited up for all 16 of the Chiefs' games to date, carrying 48 times for 158 yards and no touchdowns while adding five catches for 24 yards on nine targets.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

  Rotowire Dec 31, 2024

  The Chiefs are expected to rest their starters in Week 18 at Denver, which should allow Steele and Samaje Perine (6 percent rostered) to get plenty of work. They'll be playing with other backups, including Carson Wentz in for Patrick Mahomes, so take that into account. But both are in play as flex options against the Broncos. Steele had 18 total touches in Week 3 at Atlanta, and he scored 8.4 PPR points. And Perine, who was cut by Denver this offseason, will likely continue in his role on passing downs. He has five catches for 70 yards on five targets in his past two games.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Notches pair of touches versus Cats

  Rotowire Nov 26, 2024

  Steele accrued one carry for four yards and reeled in one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-27 win versus the Panthers. Steele totaled just 11 snaps in Sunday's contest, though that marks a very minor uptick from the eight he saw a week ago. He has two touches to his name in each of the last two weeks, and his work figures to trail off even more with Isiah Pacheco's (ankle) return from injured reserve looming. Steele can safely be left on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy formats.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Minimal impact in Week 10

  Rotowire Nov 12, 2024

  Steele tallied two carries for three yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory against the Broncos. Steele logged only 13 offensive snaps in the contest, still trailing Kareem Hunt (44) by a sizable margin and sitting three behind Samaje Perine as well. The rookie back has carried the ball a combined seven times over the last three weeks. With Isiah Pacheco's (lower leg) return from injured reserve on the horizon, there's little to like about Steele's fantasy prospects moving forward.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Usage stays low in Week 9

  Rotowire Nov 5, 2024

  Steele rushed three times for nine yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers. Steele recorded less than a 20 percent snap share for the fifth straight game, as he has had little impact since his impressive Week 3 showing versus the Falcons. RBs Kareem Hunt and Samaje Perine are both running ahead of Steele. The rookie likely won't play much as long as the veterans are healthy.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Totals six totes versus Niners

  Rotowire Oct 22, 2024

  Steele totaled six carries for 17 yards during Sunday's 28-18 win versus San Francisco. Steele finished the day second on the Chiefs in carries behind Kareem Hunt, but that amounted to just six compared to Hunt's 22; Steele also played fewer offensive snaps (15) than Samaje Perine (16). Hunt has clearly settled back into a workhorse role for KC, leaving Steele and Perine to duke it out for the leftover touches. Clyde Edwards-Helaire was also activated from injured reserve last week before being deemed a healthy inactive Sunday, but CEH could be part of the mix in future weeks as well.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Minimal run against Saints

  Rotowire Oct 8, 2024

  Steele had five rushes for 12 yards during Monday's 26-13 win against the Saints. Steele finished the day a distant second in backfield carries, logging just five to Kareem Hunt's 27. Samaje Perine also logged more snaps but finished with just one touch (a catch for 24 yards on two targets). It appears Hunt is primed to recapture the lead-back role for Kansas City, and the impending return of Clyde Edwards-Helaire could shift Steele further out of the spotlight.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Loses grip on role

  Rotowire Sep 29, 2024

  Steele rushed the ball twice for six yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers. He added one reception on three targets for zero yards. Steele started the game but lost a fumble on the first drive and was ineffective across the team's first three possessions. Kareem Hunt took over as the team's lead back while Steele did not record a touch after the first quarter, though he was targeted once shortly after halftime. Hunt did well in the role, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he has permanently moved past Steele on the depth chart.
