The Ravens placed Dobbins (undisclosed/knee) on the active/PUP list Friday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Dobbins was held out of June minicamp with a soft tissue injury, and he appears to still be working his way back to 100 percent. The Ravens are expected to be cautious with the 2020 second-round pick, who missed the entire 2021 campaign after tearing his ACL during training camp and was never able to hit his stride in 2022. The state of his current injury remains unclear, but Dobbins is eligible to practice and/or play at any point during the preseason.

Robinson (undisclosed) is slated to sign with the Giants on Friday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Robinson presumably has to pass a physical before the deal is completed. The undrafted product out of Illinois State started 27 of 28 games for Jacksonville prior to tearing his Achilles late in Dec. 2021. He returned for Week 1 of 2022 and was productive through three games, totaling 263 yards and four scores, but he struggled after that and was eventually traded to the Jets. Robinson was a nonfactor for New York, but he still landed a two-year deal with the Patriots in March, only to be let go three months later. Nonetheless, Robinson is still only 25 years old and will have a chance to compete during training camp for a spot in the Giants' running back room, which could be in flux if Saquon Barkley opts not to join the team before Week 1.

Gordon agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $3.1 million with the Ravens on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

From 2020-2021, Gordon submitted back-to-back seasons with at least 900 rushing yards and totaled 20 touchdowns during that stretch. The veteran running back was competing for touches with Javonte Williams to begin 2022, but Gordon struggled with fumbling issues when given a full-time workload following Williams' season-ending injury and was ultimately released in mid-November. In Baltimore, Gordon figures to start out as a depth option behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, who are both expected to be healthy after battling serious injuries the past two years; however, the Wisconsin product could carve out a role if he can rectify his fumbling concerns, which have plagued him his entire career.

Hall (knee) reached 23 miles per hour while working out Thursday, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports.

Coach Robert Saleh mentioned it while talking to reporters, adding that Hall looks "really good" and is trending toward being cleared for practice. The second-year pro is limited to individual drills, workouts and meetings for now, after the Jets placed him on the PUP list to start training camp. He technically can be kept on the list into the regular season, which would mean missing at least four games, but so far both Hall and Saleh have sounded optimistic about the running back's Week 1 availability. The Jets nonetheless are reported to have interest in free-agent RB Dalvin Cook, who would join a backfield that currently has Hall, Michael Carter, Zonovan Knight, fifth-round rookie Israel Abanikanda and undrafted rookie Travis Dye.

Pacheco (hand/shoulder) said Thursday he will "absolutely" be 100 percent for Week 1 versus the Lions, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Pacheco continues to practice in a yellow non-contact jersey as he works his way back from offseason surgeries to address a broken hand and a torn labrum, but it looks like he has no real concerns about his regular-season availability. Barring any setbacks in his recovery, Pacheco looks to be facing a real opportunity to cement himself as the top man in Kansas City's backfield, which also houses Jerick McKinnon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, La'Mical Perine and Deneric Prince. Coach Andy Reid previously said Pacheco could be a candidate to start training camp on the PUP list, so his participation level still warrants monitoring.

Ibrahim showed enough during spring practices to be in the running for a roster spot, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

While Ibrahim went undrafted this spring, the hefty $100,000 guaranteed deal Detroit gave him is roughly equivalent to the compensation of a seventh-round draft pick. Even more promising for Ibrahim's chances of making the roster is the fact that Justin Jackson remains unsigned, which largely limits Ibrahim's competition for the No. 3 RB job to Craig Reynolds and Jermar Jefferson. With No. 1 running back Jahmyr Gibbs seemingly headed for Alvin Kamala-like usage, the winner of this competition could be an interesting fantasy option as the possible direct backup to David Montgomery (undisclosed), who is dealing with an injury entering training camp and has missed at least one game in each of the past three seasons.

Pacheco (hand/shoulder) worked out with Kansas City's quarterbacks and rookies Wednesday, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pacheco was on the field one day after head coach Andy Reid suggested that the second-year running back was a candidate to start training camp on the PUP list. According to Newell, Pacheco, who led the Chiefs with 830 rushing yards as a rookie, didn't mix into 7-on-7 drills and participated in much of Wednesday's session while sporting a yellow non-contact jersey. Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com notes that the team will limit Pacheco early on in training camp, but barring any setbacks, the 24-year-old will have an opportunity this summer to cement his status as the top option in a Kansas City backfield that also includes Jerick McKinnon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, La'Mical Perine and Deneric Prince.

The Jets placed Hall (knee) on the active/PUP list Wednesday ahead of training camp, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Hall can come off the list and begin practicing at any time before Week 1. If he stays on the PUP list into the regular season -- which the Jets don't expect to happen -- he'll be ineligible for the first four games. Placement on the preseason PUP list makes Hall ineligible for practice (for now) and keeps him eligible for the regular-season list in the event of a setback, but he can still work out, attend meetings and otherwise use team facilities. Hall and Jets head coach Robert Saleh both have expressed optimism the running back will be ready for Week 1 as he works his way back from an ACL tear suffered Week 7 of his rookie season.

Barkley said last week in an interview with the "Money Matters" podcast that he doesn't know if he's willing to miss games over his ongoing contract dispute, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Barkley is expected to miss the start of training camp after he and the Giants were unable to work out a multi-year contract prior to the Monday deadline for franchise-tagged players. Le'Veon Bell is the only example in recent memory of a player actually sitting out games after receiving a franchise tag, but Barkley and Raiders running back Josh Jacobs might seriously consider it given the low tag number for running backs ($10.1 million) and the presumption of both handling huge workloads if/when they sign their tenders. Barkley can't be fined for practice absences this summer as long as his tender remains unsigned, but he'll miss out on around $560,000 in salary per week if he still hasn't signed once the regular season starts.

Pacheco (hand/shoulder) participated in Wednesday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Pacheco appeared to be a full participant in the session, though the running back was wearing a yellow (non-contact) jersey. Still, Pacheco's presence on the field Wednesday bodes well for both his training camp status and regular-season availability. The second-year player underwent surgeries in the offseason to address a broken hand and a torn labrum.
