Kyle Monangai RB | CHI
Bears' Kyle Monangai: Believed to be 'fine' after exiting practice
Monangai is believed to be "fine" after exiting Sunday's practice with a right-knee injury, and he will undergo an MRI, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Monangai walked off the practice field under his own power after he was tackled from behind by defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. Schefter added that initial tests showed that his knee was structurally sound, but the team will confirm the severity of the injury with a subsequent MRI. When healthy, Monangai should combine with starting running back D'Andre Swift to form one of the NFL's best rushing duos for the second year in a row.

Michael Wiley RB | TB
Michael Wiley: Works out with Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers hosted Wiley for a tryout on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wiley was waived by the Buccaneers with a non-football injury in early May. Now that the running back has regained his health, he is looking to make a return to the organization that maintained him throughout the offseason. The Buccaneers appear to be in the market for running backs, with Barika Kpeenu signing with the team Sunday.

Kyle Monangai RB | CHI
Bears' Kyle Monangai: Exits practice with apparent injury
Monangai left Sunday's practice due to an apparent right-knee injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Monangai went down after being tackled from behind by defensive tackle Grady Jarrett in a non-padded session Sunday. The second-year running back walked off under his own power, albeit very gingerly, while departing with a trainer, according to Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com. Monangai will likely undergo further testing to evaluate the severity of this apparent injury. The 2025 seventh-round pick popped during his rookie season, tallying 169 carries for 783 yards and five touchdowns while playing behind veteran D'Andre Swift.

Dante Miller RB | NYG
Giants' Dante Miller: Suffers groin injury
Miller suffered a groin injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Coach John Harbaugh said there "might be a situation there" regarding Miller's health. While there is no official timeline for the running back's return, Harbaugh's comments imply that he may need to miss significant time. If Miller does have a severe issue, he is a strong candidate for season-ending injured reserve, in which case the Giants would likely look to free agency to find another depth rusher for the remaining preseason games.

Jeremiyah Love RB | ARI
Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Hopeful for Week 1
The Cardinals are "hopeful" that Love (ankle) will be ready for Week 1, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Arizona head coach Mike LaFleur said Saturday that Love would be sidelined at least one week after he suffered an ankle injury during Arizona's 27-14 preseason win over the Raiders on Thursday. LaFleur also declined to say whether Love is dealing with a high-ankle sprain while talking to the media Sunday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. The No. 3 overall pick of this year's draft tallied 11 carries for 58 yards along with three catches (on three targets) for 14 yards. Fowler added in his report that the team is taking it easy with Love and that he'll be the team's lead back once healthy. His next opportunity to return this preseason is Saturday, Aug. 22 versus the Cowboys, though his timeline likely suggests that the he won't play until at least the preseason finale against Green Bay on Friday, Aug. 28. If Love is unavailable, then Tyler Allgeier would likely be next in line to start, especially since James Conner is still rehabbing from foot and ankle surgeries undergone last September.

Dominic Richardson RB | TEN
Titans' Dominic Richardson: Finds work in Tennessee
The Titans signed Richardson to a contract Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Richardson was waived by the Cowboys in early August. The undrafted free agent out of Tulsa joins the Titans as additional preseason depth. With running back Kalel Mullings (hip) still nursing an injury, Richardson could see some depth reps in Sunday's preseason showdown with the Seahawks.

Jonathan Ward RB | BAL
Ravens' Jonathan Ward: Returns to Baltimore
The Ravens signed Ward to a contract Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ward signed with the Ravens practice squad in early December of 2025 to bolster the team's depth after Justice Hill went down with a neck injury. The running back must be well-liked within the organization because he is back for round two, set to once again bolster the team's depth as they approach Saturday's preseason showdown with the Vikings.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Remains in recovery mode
Charbonnet (knee) remains on the active/PUP list as the Seahawks' second preseason contest (Sunday, Aug. 23 versus the Titans) approaches.
Since placing Charbonnet (who unsurprisingly was on Seattle's 'did not play' list in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys) on the PUP list July 22, the Seahawks haven't offered a concrete update on when the running back might return to practice. However, given that surgery to repair the torn ACL Charbonnet sustained during last season's playoffs didn't occur until Feb. 20, it's reasonable to expect Charbonnet will remain sidelined out of the gate once the team's regular-season slate commences. In that scenario, fellow RBs Jadarian Price (lower body), George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring) would be in line to see added opportunities early on this season. Seattle's unofficial depth chart currently lists Holani ahead of Price (listed second) and Wilson (third), and while Holani figures to see his share of touches come Week 1, Price -- the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft -- remains the upside play in fantasy terms and also should claim a decent portion of the workload, provided he can get (and stay) healthy before then.

Barika Kpeenu RB | TB
Buccaneers' Barika Kpeenu: Signs with Tampa Bay
The Bucs signed Kpeenu to a contract Sunday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
The undrafted free agent out of North Dakota State rushed for 1,005 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2025. Kpeenu appears to be a depth signing that may push Kadarius Calloway and Josh Williams further as they try to challenge Sean Tucker for a chance to make the 53-man roster.

Kye Robichaux RB | DET
Kye Robichaux: Waived/injured by Detroit
The Lions waived/injured Robichaux (foot) on Sunday.
The running back's dismissal is a good indication that he fractured his foot in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Bengals. Robichaux will now be placed on waivers and if he remains unclaimed he will revert to the Lions' injured reserve. Once on injured reserve, Robichaux will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The Lions signed running back Trayveon Williams in a corresponding move.
