Rodriguez currently is one of two healthy running backs on the Jaguars' roster along with Ameer Abdullah due to health concerns for Bhayshul Tuten (illness) and LeQuint Allen (undisclosed).

Allen is the only one of the quartet whose status for Week 1 appears to be up in the air, but Rodriguez nonetheless is poised for a regular role in Jacksonville's offense. What kind of workload that entails remains to be seen, but Tuten is Rodriguez's primary competitor for touches. At least when it comes to short-yardage and goal-line usage, the more imposing Rodriguez likely will handle those after earning 33 carries inside the 20-yard line last season for the Commanders. The Jaguars' season opener against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 13 ultimately will provide insight into what to expect from the duo.

Coleman is likely to serve as the Broncos' between-the-tackles complement to starter J.K. Dobbins this season, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Coleman was selected in the fourth round of April's draft after completing his four-year college career with a 2025 campaign with Washington during which he compiled 758 yards and 15 touchdowns on 156 carries over 12 contests. He also added 31 catches for 354 yards and two scores during his senior season. The Huskies played with an up-tempo style, so Coleman was on the field for all downs, resulting in him becoming a capable receiver and pass blocker. The running back is considered a more physical back than RJ Harvey, who also is set to serve as a reserve option behind Dobbins this season, and as a result, Coleman could be ticketed to serve more frequently as a direct replacement for Dobbins.

Washington signed Henry to its practice squad Monday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Henry had a decently productive preseason as a rusher (26 carries for 105 yards and a touchdown), but it wasn't enough to earn him a spot on the Commanders' initial 53-man roster, and now he'll start the new campaign on the practice squad. If free-agent acquisition Rachaad White (hamstring) is unable to play in Week 1, Henry could find himself on the short list for elevations to the active roster.

The Commanders signed Reynolds to the practice squad Monday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Reynolds was released by the Commanders on Sunday but at least earned a spot on the practice squad. The 30-year-old has appeared in 57 regular-season games for the Commanders, Jaguars and Lions throughout his career in a complementary role, rushing for 658 yards and one touchdown off 154 attempts while adding 25 catches for 258 yards. Reynolds could be elevated at some point during the 2026 season, though that move would likely be only for depth purposes.

Tennessee signed Mullings (hip) to its practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Mullings was sidelined during the preseason due to a hip injury, but he's apparently in good enough shape to contribute as a member of Tennessee's practice squad. In nine games with the team in 2025, he totaled three carries for seven yards.

Swift (abdomen) is believed to have left Thursday's practice with "a cramp," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Swift was reportedly "in significant discomfort" when leaving Thursday's practice with an apparent abdominal issue, but the early diagnosis seems to suggest he is not dealing with a serious setback. Even still, Swift will carry an injury designation for the time being, and it could be a few days before an official update from the team is released. Both Swift and Kyle Monangai (knee) now find themselves on the injury report, and if either is limited or unavailable altogether in the opener, Roschon Johnson would stand to benefit.

The Titans signed Carter to the practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Carter was released by the Titans on Sunday, but he was back with the organization 24 hours later. The 2021 fourth-round pick of the Jets has appeared in 61 regular-season games with New York and the Cardinals, amassing 1,692 rushing yards off 418 attempts and catching 145 passes for 1,038 yards while totaling 10 total touchdowns (nine rushing, one receiving). Carter has a fair amount of starting experience and put together some serviceable performances for Arizona down the stretch last season, so he could get a chance to see the field for the Titans at some point during the 2026 campaign.

Lampe (undisclosed) visited the Bills on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Lampe was recently waived by the Seahawks with an injury settlement. His visit with the Bills suggests Lampe may be past whatever injury he'd been recovering from.

Marshall was signed to Carolina's practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of Panthers.com reports.

Marshall went undrafted in 2025 but has been affiliated with the Browns ever since, mostly serving as a member of the team's practice squad. However, he didn't make Cleveland's 53-man roster and was cut Sunday. The 24-year-old most recently appeared in three preseason games for the Browns in 2026, amassing 46 yards off 23 carries while adding six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. While Marshall still has a way to go before taking the field for a regular-season game, he will get another opportunity to remain in the league in some capacity with the Panthers' practice squad.

The Jets waived Richardson (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Richardson went to the Jets' IR after taking five rushes for 13 yards in their preseason finale, but he's now on track to hit free agency. In his last season at Tulsa in 2025, he took 212 carries for 1,065 yards and five touchdowns.
