Chubb (concussion) has been at the Browns' headquarters since suffering a concussion Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Chubb is not cleared to return, but his presence in the building is a positive sign. While he takes the time in concussion protocol, Kareem Hunt gets first-team reps as the top running back.

Ollison was "the most impressive (Falcons) running back" during Wednesday's practice session, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

The second-year back not only had a presence in the ground game, but he also made multiple noteworthy plays as a pass catcher. Ollison was virtually obsolete in the passing game with just one catch in eight appearances last year, but he did serve as the team's primary goal-line rusher. His five goal-line carries outpaced Ito Smith by two for the team lead, however, Todd Gurley surely figures to step into a prime red-zone role himself in 2020, as his 12 carries inside the five-yard-line tied Ezekiel Elliott and Sony Michel for ninth most in the NFL last year.

Edwards-Helaire has avoided making mistakes during camp and has performed well during the reps he's gotten, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. "Clyde has done a great job in the reps that he has gotten," said quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Sunday. "He's playing fast, and he has incredible vision. That's what's been the biggest thing so far."

Edwards-Helaire won't get the benefit of preseason action to dip his toes into NFL game action, so it will likely be trial by fire come Week 1 with Damien Williams opting out for 2020. Edwards-Helaire seems to be passing tests early in camp, doing his job as a running back, a pass catcher and a pass blocker, with Taylor noting that his biggest mistake to date was not being hydrated enough to participate in full Sunday. With more complex portions of the playbook set to be installed beginning Wednesday, Edwards-Helaire has some more learning ahead before the regular season fires up, but he's positioned well to serve as the team's lead back this season.

The Titans signed Marshall to a contract Wednesday, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.

Marshall spent last season on the Chiefs' practice squad, and he'll now get a chance to compete for a depth role in Tennessee. He'll likely need to impress on special teams for any chance of cracking the 53-man roster.

Clement opened Wednesday's practice as the Eagles' first-team running back, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

The report notes that Elijah Holyfield also rotated in with the first team at times. With Miles Sanders labeled as week to week with a lower-body injury and his top backup Boston Scott (lower body) considered day to day, Clement should continue to see an uptick in first-team work for at least the next several days. Injuries derailed Clement's 2019 campaign, but if he looks good while filling in for Sanders and Scott, he'll help his case to secure a complementary role in the team's backfield this season.

Cook's discussions with the Vikings about a contract extension reportedly broke down Tuesday, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

That said, the impasse won't keep the running back off the practice field, as Cook -- who is in the last year of his rookie deal -- maintains that he's focused on getting ready for Week 1. In the meantime, the possibility remains that contract talks could resume down the road, and the Vikings will have the option of using their franchise tag on Cook next season.

The Eagles are labeling Scott as day to day with a lower-body injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Meanwhile, fellow Eagles running back Miles Sanders is listed as week to week, also dealing with an unspecified lower-body injury. Corey Clement should take on a bunch of first-team practice reps this week, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll have a significant role in the season opener, as both Sanders and Scott are still expected to be ready for Week 1 at Washington on Sept. 13. Scott is expected to serve as Philly's No. 2 back this year.

Sanders is considered "week to week" with an unspecified lower-body injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Everything coming out of Eagles camp to date has fed the breakout hype surrounding Sanders, who enters his second pro season as the clear leader of the Philadelphia backfield. This injury should temporarily slow down the enthusiasm, though John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports the issue is "not too serious" and shouldn't keep Sanders out for Week 1 at Washington. If Sanders' condition was to take a turn for the worse,, Boston Scott and Corey Clement would likely handle most of the backfield snaps in the season opener. The Eagles might also consider signing a veteran back, something that was discussed earlier this offseason but never ended up happening. In any case, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network supports the notion that Sanders' injury isn't serious.

Henry has caught the ball well early in camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Henry has never recorded more than 18 receptions in a season, so this could just be camp chatter. On the other hand, the Titans lack experience in their backfield behind Henry, as rookie Darrynton Evans is currently projected to be the primary pass-catcher out of the backfield. If Henry can increase his work as a receiver, he would be one of the most heavily utilized backs in the league.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury relayed that Drake is expected to be utilized more in the Cardinals' passing attack this season, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. "He's hard to tackle one-on-one in space," Kingsbury said Monday. "So that's an area we'd like to get him more involved in."

Drake was thrown into the fire upon his arrival in Arizona last October, joining the team on a Monday and starting in that Thursday's clash with the 49ers in Week 9. His elevation to No. 1 RB was solidified soon afterward, and he effectively made David Johnson and Chase Edmonds afterthoughts in the offense. Overall, Drake complemented 643 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground with 28 catches and 171 yards as a receiver in eight games. During his time with the Dolphins, he averaged 8.1 yards per reception, as opposed to 6.1 as a Cardinal. The hope is that a more intimate knowledge of the playbook will translate to increased success as a pass catcher.
