Rodriguez (foot) is participating in Wednesday's training camp practice, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Rodriguez handled only individual work Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports, but the new Jacksonville running back has been cleared and will be ready for full-team drills after a ramp-up period. He missed OTAs and mandatory minicamp due to an offseason foot procedure. Once ready to take part in full-team reps, Rodriguez will compete for backfield touches alongside Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen.

Gibbs is not participating in Wednesday's training camp practice due to his desire for a contract extension, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Gibbs doesn't appear to be dealing with any sort of injuries, but he nonetheless won't participate in Detroit's first training camp practice. The star running back had his fifth-year option picked up by the Lions, keeping him under contract through the 2027 for $14.3 million that year, but Gibbs' dynamic talents are certainly worth beyond the total salary of $3.2 million he carries for 2026. It remains to be seen whether Gibbs will stage a true hold-in that spans beyond the early portion of training camp. With the Detroit having replaced David Montgomery with Isiah Pacheco this offseason, Gibbs' role and ceiling are expected to grow in 2026.

Miller (knee) will not open training camp on the active/PUP list, allowing him to participate in practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Miller looks to have fully recovered from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 7 of the 2025 season. Now that he's healthy, Miller will have the opportunity to compete against Alvin Kamara, Devin Neal (undisclosed) and Ty Chandler for the backup RB job behind starter Travis Etienne. In the six regular-season games prior to his injury, Miller turned 46 carries into 186 yards (4.0 YPC) and one touchdown while logging five catches on as many targets for 30 yards.

Stevenson (undisclosed) left the field as his teammates prepared for final sprints during Tuesday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Per Callahan, Stevenson was a full participant right up until the sprints and skipped a scheduled media availability afterward, but it's unclear what led to his early exit. If he's picked up an injury, it would open the door for TreVeyon Henderson to handle all the first-team reps in the backfield.

New Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Achane (shoulder) has been cleared for the start of training camp, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Achane dealt with a shoulder issue over the spring and was limited to individual drills at mandatory minicamp, but Hafley indicated his star running back has passed the conditioning test and will not open camp on the active/PUP list. Achane inked a four-year, $64 million extension with Miami earlier in the offseason and is once again expected to be the focal point of the offense after totaling 1,838 yards and 12 touchdowns from scrimmage across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

Seattle waived McIntosh (knee) on Monday.

McIntosh missed all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee and began training camp this year on the active/PUP list. It's unclear how far along he is in his recovery, but the Seahawks have decided to part ways with the 2023 seventh-round draft pick. All of McIntosh's offensive production to this point as a pro came in 2024, when he played in all 17 regular-season games and rushed 31 times for 172 yards and no scores while catching three of four targets for 22 yards. His 5.5 YPC that season and contributions on special teams, including as a kick returner, could be attractive to other clubs if McIntosh is able to show at some point that he's back to full health.

The Seahawks are expected to waive McIntosh, who is continuing to recover from a torn ACL, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

McIntosh saw action in all 17 of Seattle's regular-season games in 2024 but tore his ACL during training camp last July and spent the entire campaign on IR. He was placed on the active/PUP list last Wednesday and hasn't yet been able to practice during training camp. It appears Seattle will ultimately elect to part ways with McIntosh, who had been expected to compete for depth reps in the team's backfield in 2026.

Owens was placed on the active/non-football illness list by the Vikings on Monday.

The running back can be activated from the list at any point during training camp once he's ready to practice. Owens was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Vikings in April after recording 1,334 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 213 carries (6.3 YPC) with Florida International last season.

Indianapolis waived Pare (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation Monday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

It's not immediately clear what type of injury Pare is tending to. Presuming he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period, he'll be heading back to free agency and able to suit up for another team once he's healthy again.

The Packers have placed Brooks (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Brooks appears to be dealing with an undisclosed injury that was not sustained during football-related activities. The veteran third-down specialist signed a two-year extension with Green Bay this offseason and is in position to compete with MarShawn Lloyd for reserve opportunities behind starter Josh Jacobs. If Brooks' health keeps him off the field during the early stages of training camp, however, Lloyd will benefit from increased chances to secure the No. 2 backfield role.
