Dallas earned a spot on the Seahawks' 53-man roster.

Dallas' role wasn't guaranteed, as he has never played more than 188 snaps in a season through three years in the league. The 2020 fourth-round pick is listed as the team's top kick and punt returner, which helps his job security. As long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy, Dallas likely won't handle many offensive reps.

Walker is listed as the Seahawks' starting running back on the team's initial Week 1 depth chart.

Walker dealt with a groin injury to start training camp, but he returned to full practices before the third preseason game. He didn't play at all during the preseason as a precaution. The second-year running back faced competition from rookie second-round pick Zach Charbonnet during camp, but Walker appears set to head into the Sept. 10 opener versus the Rams as the No. 1 back. Waker's placement on the depth chart isn't surprising after he rushed for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns on 228 carries (4.6 YPC) as a rookie. As long as he remains productive, Walker should retain the edge over Charbonnet in terms of playing time out of the backfield.

McLaughlin won a spot on the Broncos' initial 53-man roster and made a strong impression on the team's veterans during training camp and the preseason, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey noted Wednesday that numerous veterans have taken notice of McLaughlin, an undrafted rookie out of Youngstown State who joins Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine as one of three running backs on the roster. While he's unlikely to get many touches Week 1 against the Raiders, if any, McLaughlin is at least worth monitoring for dynasty leagues after he scored four touchdowns during the preseason.

Thompson has joined the Seahawks' practice squad, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Thompson was unable to secure a spot on the 53-man roster, but will stick in Seattle with the practice unit. He will continue to work with the team at practice and attempt to turn some heads. The rookie originally joined New Orleans as an undrafted free agent before getting waived prior to training camp and subsequently landing in Seattle.

Prince was picked up by the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday.

With Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire ahead of him on the depth chart, Prince was always considered to be a long shot in terms of making it through final cuts. However, he will now get to remain in Kansas City and continue practicing with the team while he awaits the possibility of being called up should the depth ahead of him require it.

The Vikings officially placed Nwangwu (undisclosed) on injured reserve Thursday, Lindsey Young of the team's official site reports.

Sidelined since late July due to an unknown health concern, Nwangwu will be required to miss at least the first four games of the campaign now that he's on IR. Minnesota's backfield will be paced by Alexander Mattison (undisclosed) this season, with Ty Chandler, newcomer Myles Gaskin and practice-squad member DeWayne McBride backing him up.

Corbin signed to the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Corbin rushed for 51 on 15 carries in the preseason for the Giants before being waived by the team on Tuesday. The undrafted free agent out of Florida State will start the 2023 season on the Panthers' taxi squad.

The Ravens signed Gordon to their practice squad on Wednesday.

Gordon had been let go by the Ravens on Tuesday, but he's back in the fold to provide the organization with some veteran backfield depth via the practice squad. J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell are the running backs currently on Baltimore's 53-man roster.

The Colts are hopeful that Moss (arm) will be available for Week 1, but general manager Chris Ballard hasn't ruled out adding another running back to the roster with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) set to miss at least four games while on the reserve/PUP list, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

After undergoing surgery on his broken arm Aug. 1, Moss was given a rough recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, which should give him a chance at returning for the regular-season opener Sept. 10 against Jacksonville or missing at most one game while he recovers. Indianapolis also has Deon Jackson and rookie fifth-round pick Evan Hull on the roster, but Moss profiles as the best early-down and goal-line option among that trio.

Felton will sign with the Bengals' practice squad Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Felton was waived by the Browns on Tuesday, but he's set to join their divisional rival via the practice squad following a physical. The 2021 sixth-rounder appeared in 24 games with Cleveland over the last two seasons.
