Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Wants to meet with Goodell
Kamara plans to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell regarding his offseason arrest and potential suspension, ESPN's Katherine Terrell reports.
The running back hopes to avoid a lengthy suspension from the league after felony charges were dropped in July, when he plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of breach of peace. A suspension of some sort remains the most likely outcome, but at this point it's hard to know when the decision will be made or exactly how many games Kamara will miss.

Evan Hull RB | ARI
Colts' Evan Hull: Big opportunity looms
Hull and Deon Jackson are the top remaining healthy Colts running backs, as Stephen Holder of ESPN reports that Zack Moss is slated to miss 4-to-6 weeks after breaking his arm in Monday's practice.
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has requested a trade from the team, and Moss' injury could put his availability for the Sept. 10 regular-season opener against the Jaguars in doubt. Hull was drafted for his pass-catching prowess after recording 55 receptions for Northwestern in 2022, but he also had 1,922 rushing yards over his final two college seasons, so the rookie could push Jackson for an expanded role in the absences of Taylor and Moss.

Deon Jackson RB | DET
Colts' Deon Jackson: Top healthy Colts RB
Jackson is in line for an expanded role, as Stephen Holder of ESPN reports that Zack Moss is slated to miss 4-to-6 weeks after breaking his arm in Monday's practice.
Moss had been working with the starting offense with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) away from the team after recently requesting a trade. While Moss recovers, Jackson and rookie fifth-round pick Evan Hull are projected to lead the Colts backfield. Jackson got double-digit touches in five games last season, and he averaged 82.8 yards from scrimmage in those games.

Zack Moss RB | CIN
Colts' Zack Moss: Suffers broken arm
Moss suffered a broken arm at practice Monday and is expected to miss about six weeks, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Given that the Colts' top running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle/back) is currently sidelined and has also requested a trade, Moss' injury -- which threatens his Week 1 status -- thins out the team's backfield depth ahead of the Aug. 12 preseason opener. For now, Deon Jackson, Evan Hull, Jake Funk and Zavier Scott are the squad's healthy options at running back.

Zonovan Knight RB | ARI
Jets' Zonovan Knight: Listed ahead of Abanikanda
Knight is listed second on the Jets' first preseason running back depth chart behind Michael Carter, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Breece Hall (knee) isn't listed since he's still recovering from a torn ACL, but he's the presumed No. 1 option when healthy. It's noteworthy that Knight is ahead of rookie fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda. As long as he stays ahead of Abanikanda, Knight will be in good position to secure a roster spot, barring the Jets shaking things up by signing a veteran such as Dalvin Cook.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Called week-to-week by coach
Coach Pete Carroll labeled Walker (groin) week-to-week Monday, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Carroll said the team is taking a cautious approach with Walker and fellow injured running back Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) to avoid exacerbating their injuries. While Seattle's top two running backs heal, DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh will have more prominent roles in practice. We may not see Walker in a game situation until Week 1 against the Rams on Sunday, Sept. 10.

Zack Moss RB | CIN
Colts' Zack Moss: Exits Monday's practice
Moss (arm) left Monday's practice early, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
With top back Jonathan Taylor (ankle/back) on the active/PUP list and also having requested a trade, Moss' injury status gains added import ahead of the Colts' preseason opener. While Taylor and Moss are unavailable, Deon Jackson, Evan Hull and Jake Funk are in line to handle the team's backfield reps in practice.

Javonte Williams RB | DAL
Broncos' Javonte Williams: Can participate Monday
Williams (knee) remains ahead of schedule and can participate Monday when the Broncos put on pads for the first time this summer, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports
Doctors reportedly told Williams his recovery from ACL, LCL and PCL tears could take a year to 18 months, but he avoided the PUP list for the start of training camp last week, less than 10 months after suffering the injury. Although he's been cleared for contact, the running back may still have some limitations in the coming weeks as the Broncos assess his readiness for the regular season. Williams suggested to reporters last week that it will be up to the team's coaching staff whether he plays in the preseason.

Jonathan Taylor RB | IND
Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Could be placed on NFI list
The Colts are considering placing Taylor on the non-football injury list due to a back injury that he sustained during the offseason, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Taylor began training camp on the active/PUP list after failing to pass his pre-camp physical. He's been rehabbing from January ankle surgery and is also dealing with a back injury that he sustained while working out on his own during the offseason. In addition to his health concerns, Taylor formally requested a trade after meeting with Colts owner Jim Irsay on Saturday. Irsay has indicated that the Colts don't plan to trade Taylor this year, but it's unclear when the 24-year-old will be able to practice. The Colts wouldn't be obligated to pay Taylor during the 2023 season if he doesn't play due to a non-football injury, and his contract would carry over to the 2024 campaign, which would complicate his contract situation even more as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. Irsay has said that the team isn't currently discussing an extension with the star running back.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Being examined for shoulder injury
Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that Charbonnet is out indefinitely due to a shoulder injury, Taylor Bisciotti of NFL Network reports.
Charbonnet missed a second consecutive day of practice Sunday, and he's being examined by doctors due to his shoulder issue. Fellow running back Kenneth Walker missed a third consecutive day of practice Sunday due to a groin injury, but Carroll described Walker's concern as minor. It's not yet clear when Charbonnet will be able to return to action, but DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh should see increased work in training camp while Walker and Charbonnet are sidelined.
