McIntosh (knee) was listed as passing his physical and going unclaimed on waivers Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

McIntosh was not picked up by another club after being waived by Seattle on Monday, but he's evidently healthy and ready to suit up for any team willing to sign him. He missed the entire 2025 season due to a torn ACL he suffered during training camp last year.

Miller (knee) is doing full-team drills at Wednesday's practice, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.

Miller sustained a torn ACL in Week 7 last season but is 100 percent healthy to begin camp and is competing with Devin Neal for the RB3 role behind Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara. Miller carried the ball 47 times for 193 yards (4.1 YPC) and one touchdown across seven regular-season appearances in 2025.

Neal (undisclosed) is practicing at the start of training camp this week, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.

Neal dealt with an undisclosed issue during the spring but is past the injury and working alongside Kendre Miller with the Saints' second-team offense. The two are competing for roles behind Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara in the New Orleans backfield.

Conner (foot) isn't yet doing full-team drills at training camp, Darren Urban of azcardinals.com reports.

Coming back from season-ending foot surgery, Conner didn't do much during the offseason program but took part in the opening practices of training camp. Now that 11-on-11 drills are starting up, Conner has been forced to watch from the sideline while Tyler Allgeier and Jeremiyah Love take first-team reps. There will be concern for Conner's Week 1 availability if he doesn't begin full-team work within the next week or two.

Black has an opportunity to handle the bulk of No. 2 running back role behind Christian McCaffrey early in training camp after Jordan James suffered a fractured rib on Tuesday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Black will look to make the most of his immediate opportunities at camp, with Vic Tafur of The Athletic noting that the rookie third-rounder had already gotten off to a strong start. While James should still be ready in advance of Week 1, his grasp on the No. 2 backfield role could lessen if Black is able to continue stringing together momentum. Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) also began training camp on the active/PUP list, leaving Patrick Taylor and Sincere McCormick as Black's main current competition for reps. Given these developments, Black's average fantasy draft position will figure to rise in advance of the preseason.

Allgeier has been the first running back up with Arizona's first-string offense during the early stages of training camp, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Allgeier, who inked a two-year, $12.25 million contract with Arizona this offseason, could have an early angle at the lead backfield role with veteran James Conner still not handling 11-on-11 work, though Urban notes that rookie No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love got his share of reps with the first-team offense. While Love projects as the clear eventual leader of the Cardinals' backfield, Allgeier has seniority backing him for the time being and is no slouch, having averaged 4.3 yards per carry across his career. Trey Benson is also healthy and competing for a chance to factor into Arizona's backfield.

James fractured a rib during Tuesday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

It's a rough start to training camp for a player that some had tabbed as the favorite for San Francisco's No. 2 RB job. James should be ready well before Week 1, but missed practice time is a big deal for a player in his situation. The Niners currently have third-round pick Kaelon Black and veteran journeymen Patrick Taylor and Sincere McCormick for depth behind Christian McCaffrey.

Lloyd enters training camp at full health, but Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that the team will "gradually" ramp him up for the season due to the running back's past injury history, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

LaFleur said Lloyd won't necessarily be on a rep count, but it sounds like Green Bay will take some extra precautions with the 2024 third-round pick's workload, at least during the early stages of training camp. Wood reports that Lloyd took part in team drills on Wednesday, seemingly without any restrictions. With Chris Brooks (undisclosed) beginning camp on the active/non-football injury list, Lloyd currently has a path to work as the unquestioned No. 2 backfield option behind Josh Jacobs and build some early momentum.

Tyler Allgeier is getting most of the first-team backfield reps at the start of training camp, with Love also mixing in for some snaps with the starters, Darren Urban of azcardinals.com reports.

James Conner, meanwhile, isn't yet participating in 11-on-11s after making his way back from season-ending foot surgery last year. It's no huge surprise to see Allgeier taking most of the first-team reps during the opening days of training camp, as teams often defer to seniority even when they have an elite prospect like Love who projects for a major role come September. This simply serves as a reminder that Love has competition for carries -- especially power work between the tackles.

Giants GM Joe Schoen said Wednesday that Skattebo (ankle) is "good to go" for the start of training camp, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Skattebo made similar comments a week and a half earlier, telling reporters that he was "perfectly fine" and "ready to go" for training camp. He and Tyrone Tracy both figure to get first-team reps this summer -- with Devin Singletary perhaps mixing in some as well -- but Skattebo remains a clear favorite for the Week 1 starting job. His progress nonetheless needs to be monitored this summer, as he's coming back from a severe injury that included ligament damage around the ankle.
