  • Nyheim Hines: Let go by Los Angeles

    Hines was released by the Chargers on Tuesday.

    Hines joined the Chargers in July after missing two seasons while recovering from a torn ACL. The running back played in all four of the team's preseason contests, turning 21 carries into 65 rushing yards, while also adding three catches for 13 yards. Additionally, Hines returned seven punts for 33 yards and nine kickoffs for 231 yards during the preseason. Considering his dynamic skill set, the running back will likely find another suitor ahead of the 2025 campaign.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Chargers' Najee Harris: Avoids reserve/NFI list

    The Chargers didn't move Harris (eye) to the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, meaning he'll open the upcoming season on the active roster, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Harris missed the entirety of training camp and the preseason due to an eye injury that he suffered due to a fireworks accident during a Fourth of July event. He began working with team trainers on the side during practice Aug. 12, and GM John Hortiz said during the Chargers' final exhibition contest that Harris was "on track, and I think he should be able to go, hopefully Week 1," per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. Harris isn't guarantee to be available against Kansas City in Sao Paolo, Brazil for the season opener, but he at least will be eligible to practice ahead of that contest. In Harris' absence, rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton will get a chance to establish himself as the team's lead back, with Hassan Haskins providing depth.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Kimani Vidal: Waived by Bolts

    The Chargers waived Vidal on Tuesday.

    The 2024 sixth-rounder entered training camp in the mix for a depth role behind Najee Harris (eye) and rookie Omarion Hampton. Vidal wasn't the most efficient runner across three preseason games, finishing with 25 carries for 69 yards (2.8 YPC) and two touchdowns. With Harris expected to be activated off the NFI list and Hampton slated to see a meaningful workload out of the backfield, Vidal ultimately lost out to Hassan Haskins for the third and final RB roster spot on the Chargers' 53-man roster. Vidal turns 24 years old Thursday and has just one NFL season under his belt, so he should garner interest on the waiver wire from teams looking to add depth at running back.

  • Keilan Robinson: Let go by Philadelphia

    Robinson was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday.

    Robinson played in all three preseason games with the team, turning 27 carries into 56 rushing yards, while he also added one catch for six yards and four kickoff returns for 98 yards. The running back was claimed off waivers by the Eagles after the Jaguars cut him loose in early, and he may now be claimed once again before he'd hit open market.

  • Montrell Johnson: Waived by Philly

    Johnson was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday.

    Johnson impressed during the preseason, producing 77 rushing yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, while also adding two kickoff returns for 47 yards over two contests. The running back signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in April after a collegiate career at Florida, and if he clears waivers, he may stick around as a member of the team's practice squad.

  • Jacob Saylors RB | DET

    Jacob Saylors: Bumped to waivers

    The Lions waived Saylors on Tuesday.

    Saylors has bounced around on practice squads since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2023. The 24-year-old running back handled a team-high 11 touches in the second preseason game, turning them into 49 yards. Saylors was always a longshot for the 53-man roster, but he has a decent chance to stick around on the practice squad.

  • Deon Jackson RB | DET

    Deon Jackson: Drops to waivers

    The Lions waived Jackson on Tuesday.

    Jackson hasn't played since suiting up in four games across the Browns, Colts and Giants in 2023. The Duke product posted the third-most rushing yards (417) in the UFL this spring. The 26-year-old will be a practice-squad candidate.

  • Chris Collier: Dropped by Las Vegas

    Collier was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday.

    Collier led the team in rushing during the preseason, turning 15 carries into 72 yards, while also adding a 32-yard kickoff return over three contests. The running back will now be subject to waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, there's a good chance that he sticks around Las Vegas as a member of the team's practice squad.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Jawhar Jordan: Doesn't make roster

    Houston waived Jordan on Tuesday.

    Jordan was a sixth-round selection by the Texans in the 2024 NFL Draft. He didn't get into any regular-season games last year, as he spent most of the campaign on Houston's practice squad. Jordan was the Texans' leading rusher during the preseason slate, tallying 88 yards on 24 carries, though that's an average of just 3.7 YPC. He's a logical candidate for the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Kazmeir Allen RB | WAS

    Kazmeir Allen: Dropped by Washington

    Allen was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

    Allen turned 11 carries into 45 yards while also adding nine kickoff returns for 229 yards and a punt return for two yards over three preseason contests with Washington. If the running back clears waivers, there's a good chance he sticks around as a member of the Commanders' practice squad.
