Tracy rushed seven times for 39 yards in the Giants' 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday.

Tracy wasn't targeted in the passing game and was also stuffed on his goal-line carry from the one-yard line. On the next play, Devin Singletary entered the game and punched in the one-yard touchdown. Tracy has carried the ball 10 times this preseason, gaining 48 yards, and with rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring) missing both exhibitions and multiple practices, Tracy appears locked in atop the depth chart headed into the Week 1 opener against the Commanders in three weeks.

Mostert gained nine yards on three carries in a preseason loss to the 49ers on Saturday. He added three receptions on four targets for 16 yards.

Mostert logged fewer carries and yards than both Ashton Jeanty (7-33-1) and Chris Collier (4-26-0), but he led all Raiders running backs in targets, catches and receiving yards. He's never been a prolific receiver out of the backfield, but he may need to do more of that work this season to be at all productive with Jeanty likely to be a workhorse back for the Raiders. As it stands, Mostert is not guaranteed to be the team's No. 2 RB -- Zamir White and Sincere McCormick are also vying for that role.

Jeanty rushed seven times for 33 yards and a touchdown and added one catch on one target for two yards in Saturday's exhibition loss to San Francisco.

Jeanty tallied minus-1 yard on three carries in his preseason NFL debut against the Seahawks on Aug. 7, but he looked significantly better against the 49ers. The rookie out of Boise State ripped off a team-high 13-yard run on his fifth carry and finished that same drive with a one-yard push into the end zone. Overall, Jeanty averaged 4.7 yards per rush attempt, showcasing the promise the Raiders saw when they drafted him sixth overall in April's NFL Draft. He's set to lead Las Vegas' running back corps out of the gate and is consistently being taken late in the first round of fantasy drafts.

Scott carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards, caught three of four targets for 44 yards and returned one kickoff for 20 yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Patriots.

The 26-year-old running back spent last season on the Vikings' practice squad, and Scott appears to have used his time well because he's on the cusp of taking the No. 3 spot on the depth chart away from Ty Chandler. Scott's usage as a return man might be the clearest sign yet he's moved past Chandler in the pecking order, as Chandler's special-teams role was thought to be his one clear edge in the battle. Even if he wins the job, Scott's snaps on offense will likely be very limited with Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason entrenched in the top two backfield jobs.

Chandler gained 12 rushing yards on three carries and failed to catch his only target in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Patriots.

The fourth-year back got the start ahead of Zavier Scott, his main competition for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, but it was Scott who saw more work and led Minnesota in rushing yards on the afternoon. Chandler saw his yards per carry drop from 4.5 in 2023 to just 3.3 last year, and if he can't find another gear before the end of the preseason, he might find himself on the outside looking in for a spot on the Week 1 gameday roster.

Taylor suffered a dislocated shoulder in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

San Francisco's backfield is injured and ailing after Saturday, as both Taylor and Corey Kiner (ankle) suffered multi-week injuries to join Isaac Guerendo (shoulder), Jordan James (finger) and Ameer Abdullah (ribs, IR) on the shelf. Prior to leaving Saturday, Taylor rushed four times for minus-six yards.

Kiner suffered a left high-ankle sprain in Saturday's preseason game versus Las Vegas, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Kiner rushed two times for 23 yards and caught his lone target for a gain of four yards prior to exiting. Kiner was drawing praise from Niners beat writers for his work during training camp this summer, but he's now dealing with what is typically a multi-week injury.

Reynolds rushed six times for 13 yards during Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Dolphins.

Reynolds started Saturday's preseason matchup with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery both resting, but he was outplayed by Sione Vaki (five carries for 30 yards), who had missed Detroit's prior two exhibitions due to a leg injury. Gibbs and Montgomery are entrenched atop the backfield depth chart, but the No. 3 role remains up for grabs between Reynolds and Vaki. The Loins' exhibition finale against Houston next Saturday could prove pivotal in determining who between Reynolds and Vaki is able to lock up the No. 3 gig.

Henderson gained 20 yards and a touchdown on four carries in Saturday's 20-12 preseason win over the Vikings. He failed to catch his only target.

After an electric kickoff-return TD in the Patriots' exhibition opener last weekend, Henderson found paydirt again Saturday, this time on an eight-yard run on the team's second possession of the afternoon that saw the rookie running back demonstrate both patience and his ability to power though contact. Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) remains atop the depth chart, but it may just be a show of deference to the veteran after Henderson was selected 38th overall in the 2025 Draft to be one of the centerpieces of the offense.

Giddens rushed six times for 28 yards, brought in one of three targets for nine yards and returned one kickoff for 27 yards in the Colts' 23-19 preseason loss to the Packers on Saturday afternoon.

Giddens was the beneficiary of an early exit by Tyler Goodson (elbow), which led to the former seeing enough opportunity to finish with a team-high rushing yardage total. Giddens, a rookie fifth-round pick who exceeded 1,200 rushing yards in each of his last two college seasons, was reasonably productive with his touches, and he offered a solid gain on his one kickoff return. Veteran Khalil Herbert, seemingly Giddens' biggest competition for the No. 3 running back job, remained out with an undisclosed injury Saturday, so the versatile first-year back appears to be in an increasingly good position to latch on to a roster spot.
