Falcons' Khalil Herbert: Lands spot on active roster
The Falcons signed Herbert from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.
Herbert was elevated both Week 7 and Week 8, turning six carries into 21 yards and two catches (on two targets) into 22 yards while also working as a kick returner. He could take on a bigger role Sunday versus Cincinnati and potentially beyond, as No. 2 RB Brian Robinson was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a hamstring injury. That means Herbert is the Falcons' only healthy running back behind workhorse Bijan Robinson

Falcons' Khalil Herbert: Back to practice squad
Herbert reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Brian Robinson (hamstring) missing a second straight contest Sunday against the Bucs, Herbert played 10 offensive snaps behind Bijan Robinson's 43. Herbert carried the ball four times for 12 yards and caught his only target for three yards against Tampa Bay.

Falcons' Khalil Herbert: Brought up from practice squad
The Falcons elevated Herbert from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Herbert will serve as the Falcons' RB2 behind Bijan Robinson for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Brian Robinson (illness). Herbert turned three touches into 28 yards against the 49ers in Week 7 and figures to see a similar workload Sunday against the Buccaneers, whose defense is second-best in the NFL in fantasy points allowed per game to opposing running backs.

Falcons' Khalil Herbert: Reverts to practice squad
Herbert reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Herbert was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's 29-20 win against the 49ers, when he served as Bijan Robinson's backup due to the absence of Brian Robinson (hamstring). Herbert was on the field for only 11 of the Falcons' 68 snaps (16.2 percent), although he nearly nearly found the end zone early in the second half on a 19-yard catch, but he was ruled out of bounds just short of the goal line. The sixth-year running back added two carries for nine yards and turned two kickoff returns into 65 yards, and he could be elevated for Week 8 against the Buccaneers on Nov. 1 depending on the health of the Falcons' backfield.

Falcons' Khalil Herbert: Elevated for RB2 role
The Falcons elevated Herbert from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Herbert is set to suit up for his 2026 regular-season debut as the No. 2 running back behind Bijan Robinson for Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 28-year-old will take relief snaps in place of Brian Robinson (hamstring), who has been ruled out due to injury.

Falcons' Khalil Herbert: Set for RB2 duties in Week 7
After Brian Robinson (hamstring) was ruled out, Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Herbert will be Bijan Robinson's backup against the 49ers on Sunday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Herbert has been on the practice squad for the past month but will be elevated for RB2 duties against San Francisco. He carried the ball 16 times for 52 yards (3.3 YPC) across seven appearances with the Jets last season but hasn't been a productive rusher since 2023 with the Bears.

Khalil Herbert: Joining Falcons' practice squad
The Falcons signed Herbert to the practice squad Wednesday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Herbert entered the league in 2021 and has suited up for the Bears, Bengals and Jets. In 63 regular-season games, the 28-year-old amassed 1,957 yards and nine touchdowns off 416 carries, adding 54 catches for 316 yards and two touchdowns. While the Falcons have Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson in the backfield, Herbert could be elevated if one of those players gets hurt down the line.

49ers' Khalil Herbert: Back with San Francisco
The 49ers signed Herbert on Thursday.
Just three days after cutting Herbert, the Niners are bringing back the veteran running back after the team placed Patrick Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Herbert carried the ball 16 times for 52 scoreless yards across seven regular-season appearances with the Jets last season. He faces an uphill battle to crack the 49ers' roster.

Khalil Herbert: Let go by San Francisco
The 49ers released Herbert on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Herbert spent most of the offseason on the open market before signing with the 49ers in early August due to the team's multiple injuries in the backfield. He played 31 snaps (24 on offense, seven on special teams) during the 49ers' 19-13 preseason loss to the Titans on Thursday, when he turned six carries into 18 yards and caught both of his targets for 35 yards while adding a tackle on a kickoff. Herbert will once again be a free agent and look to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth.

49ers' Khalil Herbert: Headed to San Francisco
The 49ers signed Herbert to a one-year deal Sunday.
Herbert will provide San Francisco with much-needed depth at running back, as Jordan James (ribs), Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) and Kaelon Black (undisclosed) are all currently dealing with injuries. Herbert spent last season with the Jets, rushing for 52 yards on 16 carries. The 28-year-old could also add value as a return specialist.

Jets' Khalil Herbert: Season-high 12 carries in Week 18
Herbert rushed 12 times for 42 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 35-8 loss to the Bills.
Herbert had 12 carries to Kene Nwangwu's seven as the Jets played without Breece Hall (knee) after placing Isaiah Davis (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday. Prior to Sunday's season finale, Herbert had just four carries for 10 yards and no catches all season. The 27-year-old running back isn't expected to garner much interest in free agency, though Herbert may land a depth role somewhere.

Jets' Khalil Herbert: Two touches as other RBs go down
Herbert rushed twice for five yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.
Top two running backs Breece Hall (knee) and Isaiah Davis (concussion) exited in the second half, but Kene Nwangwu finished with six carries to Herbert's two. Both depth options could play expanded roles in Week 18 against the Bills if Hall and Davis are held out.

Jets' Khalil Herbert: Limited to special teams in Week 16
Herbert logged all 13 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.
Herbert has suited up for each of the Jets' last three games, but aside from playing a handful of snaps on offense in a blowout loss to Jacksonville in Week 15, he's been used exclusively on special teams. Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis should continue to handle nearly all of the available reps at running back in the Jets' final two games of the season.

Jets' Khalil Herbert: Inactive Sunday
Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Herbert was unavailable the past two games due to a groin injury but will be inactive again Sunday despite being recovered from the injury. Kene Nwangwu will instead serve as the No. 3 tailback behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis.
