  • Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Practice squad reunion with Chiefs

    Kansas City signed Edwards-Helaire to the practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Edwards-Helaire spent the offseason competing for a depth role with New Orleans, where he suited up for two regular-season games in 2024, but after being released Tuesday he now rejoins the team that selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He'll provide backfield depth for Kansas City.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | SF

    Jeff Wilson: Joining Dolphins' practice squad

    Wilson is signing with Miami's practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Wilson is familiar with coach Mike McDaniel's rushing scheme and gives the Dolphins some depth at running back, with De'Von Achane (calf) injured but expected to be ready for Week 1 but Jaylen Wright (leg) a candidate to miss a bit of time early in the year. If Miami's backfield health doesn't improve in time to face off against the Colts in Week 1, it's possible Wilson gets elevated from the practice squad, though if Achane is healthy Wilson would figure to work, at best, in a reserve No. 3 capacity behind Ollie Gordon.

  • Raheim Sanders RB | CLE

    Browns' Raheim Sanders: Scooped up by Cleveland

    The Browns claimed Sanders off waivers from the Chargers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina failed to make the cut with the Chargers, but he now gets a second NFL opportunity in short order. The Browns let go Pierre Strong on Tuesday, leaving the team with only Jerome Ford, Dylan Sampson and Quinshon Judkins as its backfield options. Judkins remains unsigned and is uncertain to be available for Week 1, likely setting up a timeshare between Ford and Sampson. An injury could quickly thrust Sanders into playing time if he manages to stick around with Cleveland for at least a few weeks.

  • Nate Carter RB | ATL

    Falcons' Nathan Carter: Makes initial 53-man roster

    Carter made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday.

    The Falcons cut Jashaun Corbin and Carlos Washington on Tuesday, leaving Carter as the No. 3 RB behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier to open the campaign. Carter is an undrafted rookie out of Michigan State and ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at his pro day. He finished the preseason with 16 rushing attempts for 85 yards in three games and scored the Falcons' only rushing touchdown, a 43-yard run against the Titans.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Secures No. 3 job

    Holani was named the No. 3 running back after the Seahawks waived Damien Martinez on Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    An undrafted free agent in 2024, Holani was far from a roster lock after he suited up in just five games during his rookie season before the Seahawks selected Martinez in the seventh round. Holani earned his spot during a short but definitive preseason, as he rushed 12 times for 110 yards (9.2 YPC) and a touchdown while mixing in on the kick return. The Boise State product carries little fantasy value as long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy, but Holani's a fine stash in deeper dynasty leagues due to Walker's injury history.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Expected to be ready for Week 1

    Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Wednesday that the team expects Achane (calf) to suit up Week 1 versus the Colts, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Achane remained absent from practice Tuesday as he continues to manage a calf injury, but all signals from Miami have been that the team is simply taking a cautious approach to the starting running back's recovery and that he should be back in action in advance of the regular-season opener at Indianapolis on Sunday, Sept. 7. On the other hand, Jaylen Wright (leg) may not be ready to go versus the Colts, so no matter how much confidence rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon has earned after his impressive preseason, the Dolphins figure to actively pursue the running back position with waiver claims and practice-squad signings Wednesday in the wake of NFL-wide cut-downs to a 53-man roster.

  • Donovan Edwards: Fails to make Jets roster

    Edwards was waived Tuesday, Randy Lange and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.

    Edwards had a productive preseason, but the rookie out of Michigan failed to win a roster spot in a Jets backfield that consists of Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis (ankle) and Kene Nwangwu heading into the regular season. Assuming Edwards passes through waivers unclaimed, he's likely to end up on the Jets' practice squad.

  • Ty Chandler RB | MIN

    Vikings' Ty Chandler: Makes 53-man roster

    Chandler made Minnesota's 53-man roster. However, it's not clear whether Chandler or Zavier Scott will work as the No. 3 running back, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    It's also not clear if Chandler or Tai Felton will work as the kick returner. Chandler was on the roster bubble and could still lose his spot once C.J. Ham returns from injured reserve.

  • Michael Wiley: Cut loose by Kansas City

    Wiley was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday.

    Wiley signed with Kansas City on Aug. 12 after being let go by the Commanders in late July. The running back played in one preseason game with the Chiefs, recording one carry for three yards and an 18-yard kick return. Wiley will now be looking for another suitor ahead of the 2025 campaign.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | ARI

    DeeJay Dallas: Released by Arizona

    Dallas was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

    Dallas appeared in all three preseason games with Arizona, turning seven carries into 13 rushing yards and two catches into 11 yards through the air. The running back also compiled 129 yards on five kick returns, which is something he specialized in with Arizona in 2024, recording 459 yards and a score on kick returns over 17 regular-season games. Dallas will likely find a new team in the near future.
