Harris, who made his preseason debut Sunday against the Lions, indicated that he was previously dealing with a Lisfranc sprain in his foot, dating back to the first day of training camp, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.

That said, Harris drew the start at running back for the Steelers in their preseason finale on Sunday, en route to logging 28 snaps on offense, while carrying four times for 10 yards and catching all three of his targets for 11 yards. With no reported setbacks in the contest, Harris remains on track to lead Pittsburgh's backfield in the season opener against the Bengals. Currently in the mix to log complementary RB snaps behind Harris -- the team's clear-cut top option at the position -- are Benny Snell, Anthony McFarland and Jaylen Warren.

Sanders (hamstring) isn't practicing Monday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Sanders has missed more than two weeks of practice and has two weeks left to get ready before Philly's season opener in Detroit. If he can't go, Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell are next up for touches, with it currently unclear which of the two would get more work.

Mattison has been the subject of trade discussions with "at least 12" teams, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The 2019 third-round pick is in the final season of his rookie contract and doesn't plan to sign an extension with the Vikings. Mattison isn't likely to get more than 5-to-7 touches per game when the team has Dalvin Cook, who missed multiple contests in each of his first five seasons. Cook's shoulder is particularly vulnerable to re-injury after numerous sprains and dislocations, but he seems to be healthy heading into a Week 1 joust with the Packers.

Harris (undisclosed) participated in Monday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Lazar previously noted that Harris "tweaked something during positional drills" at Wednesday's practice, but the running back's return to the field Monday indicates that his issue was nothing major and shouldn't impact his Week 1 status. Once the regular season kicks off, Harris is in line to share early-down work in New England's backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson.

The Dolphins waived Doaks on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Doaks was selected by Miami in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft and spent his entire rookie campaign on the practice squad before signing a futures deal in January. If he clears waivers, the Cincinnati product could rejoin the Dolphins' practice squad to start the 2022 campaign.

Huntley was waived by the Eagles on Monday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Huntley will be let go as a part of the team's final cuts ahead of the 2022 season. The running back has been utilized as a return specialist this preseason and could fill that role for another team.

Coach Ron Rivera indicated Monday that doctors are optimistic regarding the recovery of Robinson, who was a shooting victim in an attempted robbery in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. In an Instagram post Monday, Robinson relayed that his "surgery went well."

Per Keim, Commanders team officials are slated to talk to doctors later Monday to get a further update on the status of the rookie running back, who sustained wounds to his lower extremities Sunday. At that time, the team plans to make a decision on whether to place Robinson on the non-football injury list. If so, he would miss at least the first four games of the upcoming season.

Perine rushed once for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.

Perine didn't get many opportunities, but he didn't exactly make the most of his final chance to show the coaching staff he belongs on the 53-man roster. The Jets' 2020 fourth-round pick is a long shot to make the team in 2022.

Carter rushed four times for 10 yards and caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants. He also lost a fumble.

Carter rotated with rookie second-round pick Breece Hall on the first-team offense. He only fumbled once as a rookie last season, so Carter's miscue in this one shouldn't raise too many red flags. Carter is set to open the regular season as part of a timeshare with Hall.

Knight rushed four times for 31 yards in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.

Knight showed nice burst to get to the sideline on a 22-yard run in the fourth quarter. The rookie undrafted free agent out of NC State is unlikely to make the 53-man roster, but the Jets will likely keep Knight around on the practice squad.
