  • Hassan Hall RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Hassan Hall: Gets opportunity in desert

    The Cardinals signed Hall to a contract Tuesday.

    Hall resurfaces in Arizona after having been cut by the Chiefs back in June. As a rookie last season, Hall spent time on the practice squads of the Giants, Cardinals and Browns. Now, he returns to Arizona to continue his development.

  • Dante Miller RB | NYG

    Giants' Dante Miller: Dealing with hamstring injury

    Miller (hamstring) was limited at practice Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Miller impressed during New York's preseason opener against the Lions, when he rushed 12 times for 63 yards and secured both of his targets for seven yards, but he's now dealing with a hamstring injury that could impact his status for Saturday's exhibition game against Houston. With Tyrone Tracy (ankle) having suffered a low-ankle sprain at practice Tuesday, Miller is facing an opportunity for increased reps if he can get healthy without missing much time.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Has low-ankle sprain

    Tracy was diagnosed with a low right-ankle sprain after he got injured during Tuesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Initially, Tracy was believed to have suffered a serious injury because he needed an air cast on his lower right leg and was carted off the practice field before being taken to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. However, the rookie fifth-rounder was back in the team facility a few hours later, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, with his lower right leg in a boot. Tracy's prognosis is week-to-week, which presumably will keep him sidelined for the Giants' final two preseason games but could allow him to be available Week 1 against the Vikings.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Diagnosed with ankle sprain

    Tracy suffered a sprained right ankle during Tuesday's practice, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Tracy's lower right leg appeared to buckle as he reached for a ball during a kickoff drill, and the rookie fifth-rounder eventually was carted off the field with the leg in question in an air cast. Tracy then was escorted to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan to be evaluated further. Fortunately for Tracy, he's already back in the Giants' facility for meetings, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, meaning he seems to have avoided a major injury. With two preseason games left on New York's slate, the team will likely exercise caution with Tracy, and the missed practice time could impact his standing in the RB pecking order behind starter Devin Singletary.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Dealing with back injury

    Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Kamara didn't practice Tuesday due to back tightness, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Prior to Tuesday's session, Kamara participated in walkthrough, so he wasn't without some activity, and Allen told Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune afterward that the running back's situation is "not a big deal." Kamara handled six offensive snaps during this past Saturday's preseason win at Arizona, but it's unclear if the current concern will affect his availability for Sunday's exhibition at San Francisco.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Taken to hospital with ankle injury

    The Giants announced Tuesday that Tracy (ankle) sustained an ankle injury at practice and will be taken to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan for further evaluation, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Tracy had to be carted off the practice field Tuesday during a kickoff drill, with an air cast on his lower right leg. Evaluation at the HSS will provide a comprehensive picture of Tracy's injury, which it looks like could be severe. If the rookie fifth-round pick is forced to miss significant time, Eric Gray and Dante Miller will figure to bump up the backfield depth chart behind veteran starter Devin Singletary.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Carted off at practice Tuesday

    Tracy (lower leg) was carted off the practice field Tuesday due to what appears to be a right lower leg injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Tracy has an air cast on his right leg, and it appears that he may have suffered a major injury. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the rookie fifth-round pick's lower leg or ankle appeared to buckle as he reached for the ball during a kickoff drill. Tracy rushed five times for 26 yards and wasn't targeted in the Giants' preseason opener against the Lions, and he's spent training camp competing with Eric Gray for the backup gig behind Devin Singletary. If Tracy's injury is indeed serious, Gray will stand to inherit the No. 2 role, while Dante Miller would vault to the No. 3 spot.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Not practicing

    Lloyd (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Coach Matt LaFleur declined to give a timeline for the rookie's return or provide details, merely informing reporters that Lloyd won't practice Tuesday after injuring his hamstring during Saturday's preseason game against Cleveland. The running back told reporters after the game that he'd pushed through a hamstring injury earlier in training camp, which is perhaps surprising given that his previous absences from practice (in late July) were attributed to a hip injury. Details aside, the mounting missed time this summer will only make it more difficult for Lloyd to earn a significant role early in the season, potentially opening the door for Emanuel Wilson to get snaps behind Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon.

  • DJ Williams RB | TB

    Buccaneers' DJ Williams: Gets extended look Saturday

    Williams rushed 10 times for 29 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night.

    Williams came into the game on the first drive of the second half and tied Sean Tucker for a team high in carries on the night. The undrafted rookie from Arizona is battling Tucker for a reserve running back role behind the projected top duo of Rachaad White and Bucky Irving, and he should be in line for another solid allotment of playing time in a preseason road matchup against the Jaguars on Saturday night.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Impresses in preseason opener

    Tucker rushed 10 times for 68 yards and brought in both targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday.

    Tucker had both the game's longest run (26 yards) and a team-high rushing yardage tally, getting his latest quest for a roster spot off to a noteworthy start. The 2023 undrafted free agent was able to beat the odds a year ago by appearing in 11 regular-season games, although he did not log a touch after Week 3. Tucker offers some explosiveness and is serviceable as a receiver, so he could certainly find his way back on the 53-man with a combination of a strong preseason and the prolonged absence of Chase Edmonds (undisclosed).
