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.

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.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Dealing with minor groin strain
Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that Walker has been held out of practice over the past few days due to a minor groin strain, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Walker missed a third consecutive day of practice Sunday, but his absence has been deemed precautionary, as Carroll said the team is holding the running back out to prevent a more significant injury. Although Carroll downplayed the severity of Walker's issue Sunday, he indicated that he could be out a while. Carroll also said that Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) will be out indefinitely, so DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh will likely see increased work at camp in the near future. Walker's availability for Seattle's preseason opener against the Vikings on Aug. 10 remains to be seen.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Misses practice again
Charbonnet didn't practice Sunday due to an undisclosed injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Charbonnet has missed back-to-back practices after participating in the first two days of training camp, while Kenneth Walker has missed three straight sessions with an undisclosed issue, so fantasy managers should certainly be paying attention to Seattle's backfield before upcoming drafts. Head coach Pete Carroll may provide a clearer update following Sunday's practice, but if both running backs are sidelined, DeeJay Dallas, Kenny McIntosh, Bryant Koback and Wayne Taulapapa would all be candidates for more reps.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Still not practicing
Walker didn't practice Sunday due to an undisclosed injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Walker has missed three straight days after participating in the Seahawks' first practice of training camp. Rookie Zach Charbonnet also has sat out back-to-back sessions with an undisclosed issue, so this is certainly a storyline worth following. Head coach Pete Carroll may provide a more concrete update following Sunday's practice, but if both running backs are forced to miss time, DeeJay Dallas, Kenny McIntosh, Bryant Koback and Wayne Taulapapa would all be candidates for increased work.
