Link to storyWashington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Sept. 15.
Footballguys view: No surprise there. Ekeler suffered a season-ending (and possibly career-ending) torn Achilles tendon in Green Bay last Thursday night. Ekeler was a critical piece to the Commanders' offensive success last season, with 733 total yards and four touchdowns, and looked to be just as impactful in 2025 before his injury. With Ekeler out, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. are the remaining backs on the active roster. Croskey-Merritt is expected to be the starter. The team also added former Cardinal and Buccaneers RB Chase Edmonds to their practice squad. |

Baltimore Ravens FB Patrick Ricard (calf) is considered week-to-week because his recovery from a calf injury is going slower than the team anticipated, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Footballguys view: Ricard, who is coming off a First Team All-Pro season, hasn't practiced in nearly a month due to a calf strain. With both TE Isaiah Likely (foot) and Ricard missing the first two games, the Ravens have leaned on tight ends Charlie Kolar and Zaire Mitchell-Paden, activated off the practice squad, to take their place. Likely could return soon, but Mitchell-Paden has been an effective blocker and could remain to help cover for Ricard's absence. |
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 3 because of the hamstring injury he suffered during the Week 2 game, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Footballguys view: The Vikings operated with a tandem at running back in Week 2, with Jones drawing the start but Jordan Mason logging more offensive snaps. Assuming Jones is out on Sunday, Mason projects as the clear starter. Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke notes that Mason demonstrated the ability to handle heavy workloads with the 49ers last season, topping an 80 percent snap share in some games. Similarly, the Vikings showed a willingness to give Jones 80 percent of snaps when healthy, indicating the staff is comfortable using a true workhorse when necessary. We'll continue to monitor this situation in coming days. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr. carried the ball six times for 20 yards versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. Robinson also had one catch for minus-one yard.
Link to storyAtlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson posted 22 carries for 143 yards in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, while adding three receptions for 25 yards on five targets.
Footballguys view: The Falcons could barely reach the end zone in this one, but a barrage of field goals was more than enough to win 22-6 on "Sunday Night Football." But Robinson was on point. He became the first player since LeSean McCoy in 2013 to produce games of 100-plus rushing yards and 100-plus receiving yards to open a season. Can he have another big game this week? Going up against the Panthers on Sunday, Robinson certainly gets an appealing matchup. |

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) ran five times for 23 yards in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons before checking out due to a hamstring injury. He was targeted once, but he did not have a catch.
Footballguys view: Jones was initially characterized as questionable, but he did not return to the 22-6 loss. If Jones misses time going forward, Jordan Mason will go from sharing time with Jones to playing a featured role. We'll have more on him as further details come to light. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed 25 times for 165 yards and caught two passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in a 29-28 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2.
Footballguys view: Taylor's 165 rushing yards led all RBs in Week 2 and represent the second most rushing yards in a game through two games, trailing only Derrick Henry (169 in Week 1). Taylor delivered a key run of 68 yards early in the fourth quarter. Taylor also got involved as a pass catcher, taking a swing pass for 43 yards in the first quarter before catching a touchdown on a similar play from seven yards out a quarter later. Taylor now leads the NFL in rushing yards after two weeks with 236. The Colts face the Titans in Week 3. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard ran 20 times for a game-high 92 yards in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, and he did not have a catch on just one target.
Footballguys view: Pollard should continue to get a heavy workload while Tyjae Spears is on injured reserve, which will be for at least two more weeks. The Titans defense had some lapses against the Rams outstanding wide receiver duo this week, but it is generally good enough to keep them in games while Cam Ward learns the ropes, insuring that Pollard will remain involved in the game throughout. |

Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum ran five times for 44 yards and his first NFL touchdown in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. He was not targeted in the pass game.
Footballguys view: Corum should be added in all but short bench leagues. He could be a matchup flex if he keeps getting goal line carries, and Corum showed more juice than Kyren Williams in the win over the Titans. |
