Broncos | J.K. Dobbins says reduced workload is about staying fresh, not losing starting job Thu Oct 29, 05:15 PM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins indicated on Thursday that he believes his reduced workload is Denver trying to keep him fresh rather than him losing the starting job. Dobbins said rookie RB Jonah Coleman's uptick in work came when the Broncos were winning late and that all he cares about is winning. He added that if he wasn't getting carries and Denver was losing, "shit, I'm gonna be mad as fuck."

Broncos RB RJ Harvey was present for only a portion of the media viewing period at Thursday's practice. Harvey's status on Thursday's injury report will be one to watch, along with those of DT Zach Allen and WR Jaylen Waddle. Denver hosts the Chiefs on Sunday.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Thursday. Monangai also did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, when he was seen working on a bike in the weight room. He missed the Bears' Week 7 game against the Patriots with the toe injury.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Gibbs downplayed the injury after practice, saying he was surprised by an alert on his phone listing him as questionable. "Yeah, just got dinged up a little bit, a little shoulder thing, but I'm good, though. I'm straight," Gibbs said. There are no indications the injury will affect his availability against the Vikings on Sunday.

Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday as the team prepares for its Week 8 game against the Raiders. Hall was also limited on Wednesday after missing last Sunday's game against the Dolphins with the quad injury.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) returned to practice on Thursday. Jones had been held out of practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones has been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2 and has been considered day to day. The Vikings play at the Lions on Sunday.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that the team plans a bigger role for RB Austin Ekeler with RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on injured reserve. "Now that he's back, we'll need to lean in more, and he's able to handle a bigger workload now," Quinn said. "It's the right play." Ekeler averaged 7.3 yards per carry in his Week 4 return against the Colts but has carried the ball only four times since, and Croskey-Merritt is out for at least the next month.

Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. did not practice on Thursday because of a hamstring injury. It was his second straight missed practice, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers in question.
| Footballguys view: Khalil Herbert will get the work as the primary backup to Bijan Robinson is Brian Robinson has to miss another game. Herbert rushed two times for nine yards in the Falcons' Week 7 win over the 49ers. |

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson walked out of the locker room in street clothes with a backpack on as reporters entered for scheduled media access on Thursday. Henderson was also absent from the beginning of Thursday's practice, Doug Kyed reported. Henderson returned from an ankle injury earlier this month.
| Footballguys view: Henderson is listed as "DNP" for Thursday's practice with an illness designation. That may not keep him out of the game in Week 8, but Fantasy GMs should circle back on Friday. We've got him as a flex play against the Dolphins on Sunday. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price was designated for return to practice on Thursday, as head coach Mike Macdonald said would happen during his Monday press conference. Price, Seattle's first-round pick, has missed four games on injured reserve with a chest injury. Macdonald said it is possible that Price and RB Zach Charbonnet could play in Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears, but no definitive decision on their availability had been made early in the week.
| Footballguys view: Price could be back sooner rather than later as he's coming back from the chest injury that forced him out the minimum four games. With the return of Zach Charbonnet as well, the Seahawks could be using both backs in an RBBC. When both are active, we'll have Price in the flex range from a fantasy perspective. |

There was 'no sign' of Eagles RB Saquon Barkley at Thursday's practice, the team's first practice of the week. Barkley, who is dealing with hamstring and back injuries, was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley is clearly on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Eagles could be down to Jaydon Blue and Elijah Mitchell at the running back position if Barkley can't play. |

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell has returned to practice on Thursday as he deals with a hip injury. Gainwell suffered the injury in last Sunday's win over the Panthers and was listed as questionable to return in that game. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons in Week 8 on Sunday.

The Titans have told teams they do not want to trade an offensive player like RB Tony Pollard because they need to figure out who QB Cam Ward is. Ward, a second-year player, has zero touchdown passes in quarters 1-3 this season. Tennessee has already traded DT Jeffery Simmons.

There was some confidence on Wednesday that Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) will be available for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Lions. Jones had previously been called 'day to day' and has played with a sprained MCL since Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Jones has been playing with this for over a month, and the Vikings have given him quite the workload. With Jordan Mason back last week, the Vikings moved to more of an RBBC. That should help Jones as he continues to deal with - and likely play through - this knee problem. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is among the players Philadelphia may shop ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, as executives around the league believe the 2-5 Eagles will look to offload at least some contracts and clear cap space. One AFC executive said Barkley's lingering hamstring injury and the back injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Cowboys will likely hamper his value, since teams more often trade for running backs to help in the same year. Two NFC executives debated Barkley's value, one thinking it could reach as high as an early second-round pick while the other estimated it closer to a fourth. DT Moro Ojomo, TE Dallas Goedert and CB Riq Woolen were also named as players the Eagles may test the market for.
| Footballguys view: Even with his lingering injuries, Barkley would have at least a few teams interested if he's available. The Eagles are always in the market because GM Howie Roseman is addicted to trading. We'll see if another team offers the Eagles enough to get Barkley. It's unlikely to take a premium pick (or picks) to get the veteran back. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad. |

Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier was not on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice. He was among a handful of Arizona players absent during the viewing window ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier ran the ball eight times for 19 yards in the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Broncos, plus he had three catches for 30 yards. He's barely getting more work than Bam Knight, and Allgeier hasn't been much of a fantasy factor. We see him as a flex play if Jeremiyah Love has to miss more time. |
Tyler Allgeier player page
Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Browns visit the Steelers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Sampson played on offense last week for the first time in 2026, coming back from this knee injury. In Week 7, he had six rushes for 45 yards in the win against the Titans, adding three catches for 32 yards. Sampson is a flex play as the clear-cut receiving back for the Browns offense. |

Eagles RB Dameon Pierce is heading to injured reserve. Pierce joins RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on IR, while RB1 Saquon Barkley is dealing with back and hamstring injuries. Pierce was injured in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Cowboys after taking on more of the workload with Barkley on a limited "pitch count" in his return.
| Footballguys view: Things are so thin behind Barkley -- and that's even if he's healthy enough to play. Behind Barkley is Jaydon Blue, and Elijah Mitchell is on the Eagles' practice squad. |

The Texans were awarded RB Emari Demercado off waivers from the Cowboys on Wednesday. The beat writer called the claim "not a good sign for availability of David Montgomery (groin) after bye week." Texans RB Montgomery was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Giants with the groin injury, and Houston is on its bye in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: The addition of Demercado could indicate the team doesn't think Montgomery will be ready after the bye. We'll see what the Texans' practice reports look like next week. |

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs did not participate in practice on Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Gibbs ran for 116 yards in Sunday's win over the Packers.
| Footballguys view: The Lions could be giving Gibbs a bit of rest here. We're not overly concerned with his availability in Week 8 at this time. Let's see what Gibbs can do on Friday at the latest as the team prepares for a Week 8 contest against the Vikings. |

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell (hip) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report. Gainwell was questionable to return with the hip injury during last Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was in the weight room on a bike at the start of Wednesday's practice as the team went through stretching. Chicago had the same absences on Wednesday as it did on Tuesday, when Monangai did not practice.
| Footballguys view: The Bears play the Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 8. That means we won't see an official injury report until Thursday. We'll know more about Monangai's status at that time. |

Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Wednesday as the team began preparations for Sunday's Week 8 game at Tampa Bay. Robinson missed last Sunday's win over the 49ers, when RB Khalil Herbert was elevated to the game day roster and served as RB Bijan Robinson's backup. Herbert got a couple of carries that were impactful within drives that resulted in points.

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said on Wednesday that RB Josh Jacobs "didn't play as much as he normally would had he been here this whole time" in Sunday's loss to the Lions. "He's been out for a while. Getting him back in the swing of things," Stenavich said of Jacobs' workload. Jacobs was activated from exempt status on Saturday ahead of that game.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs is going to get more work as he continues to get back into football shape. We see him leading the team in touches from the backfield, and that makes him a borderline RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Vikings RB Aaron Jones will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones aggravated his knee injury in Sunday's win over the Colts and was called day to day on Monday after an MRI. He had been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor does not need to request a move; teams should be circling around the Colts to see if they can add him via trade. With Quenton Nelson traded to the Seahawks on Tuesday, the floodgates could open as the Colts are sellers. Taylor is still a great back, and he could be a foundational player going forward. However, he could be seen as someone the Colts trade away to get more assets. |

Ravens rookie RB Adam Randall returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. Randall was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return before the regular season. The fifth-round pick from Clemson, a converted wide receiver, played in two preseason games, totaling 17 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown plus four catches for 47 yards on six targets. Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali lead the running back room.
| Footballguys view: Hill is the primary backup to Henry. Randall is a converted wide receiver who can be a threat on all three downs. When back on the active roster, Randall will be an option as the No. 3 back behind Hill and Henry. We appreciate him in dynasty formats. |

Jets RB Braelon Allen (ankle) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Allen ran for 104 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo indicated his hamstring was OK after Sunday's win over the Texans, and the team has its Week 8 bye to recover. With RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s surprise placement on IR on Tuesday, the beat writer's view is to 'wait and see where he's at' when the Giants return to practice next week; Skattebo missed chunks of time last offseason with a hamstring injury. The backfield was shaping up as an even split before Tracy left with a hamstring injury in the second quarter, with Skattebo at 14 snaps to Tracy's 11 at that point. As the game progressed, RB Devin Singletary took over as the third-down back while mixing in on early downs.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was not on the practice field when the team returned to practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Monangai was ruled out of last Thursday's win over the Patriots. Because they play against the Seahawks in Seattle on Monday night this week, the Bears will not release their first injury report until Thursday. We'll be following up as needed. |

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor "isn't a lock to be traded," and a deal is "as of now, looking like a no."
| Footballguys view: The Colts, who dealt OL Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks earlier Tuesday, "surely aren't done" making moves, "but that doesn't mean everything must go," with ESPN's Adam Schefter sharing the same view on Taylor. There are "still two weeks left for things and minds to change" before the trade deadline. |

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is being placed on injured reserve with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Texans, GM Joe Schoen told reporters during his bye-week press conference on Tuesday. Schoen said it is not a long-term injury, but Tracy will miss four games.
| Footballguys view: Cam Skattebo is dealing with a minor hamstring issue that is expected to heal over the off week. Assuming he's fully healthy, Skattebo could benefit from more work in the passing game, in addition to the slight bump in snaps that is also likely to come. Devin Singletary will also benefit. |
Tyrone Tracy Jr. player page
Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love will be back at practice on Wednesday, head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday. Love has missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Love injured his right ankle in the preseason. He played through his left ankle injury, which he sustained in Week 4, before the Cardinals shut him down to let it heal. Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier have replaced Love in the backfield. Love has 67 carries for 245 yards and a touchdown, and 11 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown. |
Jeremiyah Love player page
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has a mild hamstring strain, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday. The team believes McCaffrey will be fine coming out of the bye. "We're pretty optimistic," Shanahan said.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was hurt in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons, returned to the field after warming up before the third quarter, and said after the game, "I know I'll be alright." We'll be watching for more, but the real clarity will come when San Francisco hits the field to begin their Week 9 preparations. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said his back flared up on his first run of Monday's loss to the Cowboys, noting that sometimes you overcompensate when dealing with a different injury. Barkley said his hamstring came out fine and he doesn't expect the back to keep him out. "Just can't find a way to finish the game. But yeah, banged up a little bit," Barkley said.
| Footballguys view: Barkley returned from a two-game absence only to be limited -- he spent time in the medical tent, on the exercise bike, and stretching on the sidelines. Still, he was effective. Barkley had seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for nine yards before the back injury sidelined him. Barkley became the first starter in the last 20 seasons to play at least nine offensive snaps in a game and get a touch on all of them. The Eagles play the Commanders in Week 8. We'll have more on Barkley in coming days. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 25 times for 155 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 38-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 15.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.5.
