Jets RB Breece Hall was doing agility work off to the side of Monday's practice, according to The New York Post's Brian Costello. "He’s moving well," Costello adds. "Good sign."

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson slipped while cutting on Monday and left practice early. Henderson had been practicing after missing Saturday’s preseason game, but was potentially hurt at some point during practice, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. He had his right foot and ankle looked at on the sideline.

ESPN's Jenna Laine delivered her roster projection for the Buccaneers on Monday, and that appears to include RB Bucky Irving maintaining a lead over new No. 2 RB Kenneth Gainwell.

Browns HC Todd Monken has named QB Deshaun Watson his Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty is believed to have sprained an ankle in Sunday's practice, according to insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter. "The Raiders still are unsure how long he will be out, but it is not considered a long-term injury and the organization is breathing a sigh of relief tonight," Schefter writes. It's excellent news after what sounded like a potential season-ending injury.

Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah seemed to be fighting for the Cowboys' No. 2 RB job this summer. But with RB Javonte Williams getting the second preseason game off, RB Malik Davis drew the start. The Athletic's Jon Machota now predicts Davis will open the season as the No. 2 RB before Blue takes over later in the season.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey returned to practice on Sunday after missing the previous two weeks. He said afterward that he'd planned to take a break during training camp before ramping back up. "I feel great," McCaffrey added. "It’s about being fresh for the duration. 17 Sundays."

The biggest fantasy question in the Houston offense throughout this offseason has arguably been the projected backfield split. The Texans acquired veteran David Montgomery from Detroit and guaranteed him $10 million on a two-year extension that runs through 2027. That seemed to slot the former Lion clearly ahead of second-year incumbent Woody Marks, but the young guy has seemed to build recent momentum. Now it appears we might be looking at an even split.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty appeared to hurt his right knee in Sunday's practice, according to multiple reports.

The 49ers activated TE George Kittle off the Physically Unable to Perform list today. Kittle tore his right Achilles in the wildcard round of the playoffs against the Eagles on January 11. He has stated his aim was to play Week 1 of the season, and this is the first step to achieving that.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington returned to practice on Sunday. He missed about a week with an undisclosed injury, but it never sounded serious and doesn't look like an issue going forward. We recently highlighted Washington as one of the most undervalued players in fantasy drafts.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders comfortably out-played QB Deshaun Watson in Saturday's preseason game vs. the Bills. Sanders got the start and went 9-of-11 for 74 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT across four possessions. He also took 1 sack on his 13 dropbacks. It was far from a flawless performance, but it was a lot better than QB Deshaun Watson's showing. He mustered just 36 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT on 5-of-12 passing. The INT came on a bad throw and bad decision into traffic.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers had his right hand in a brace on the sidelines of Friday night's preseason game vs. the Panthers. The injury was revealed to be a jammed right thumb that could cause him to miss time. The assumption would be that the second overall pick in 2025, Travis Hunter, would benefit from increased offensive snaps if Meyers’ injury lingers into the season. But according to Juston Lewis of the Florida Times-Union, that may not be the case.

The Giants signed RB Najee Harris “under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor,” ESPN’s Jordan Raanan writes in a detailed look at this suddenly crowded backfield. Ranaan adds that RB Cam Skattebo is still the “top option” but that RB Tyrone Tracy has been a “regular” with the first-team offense in camp and that RB Devin Singletary “shouldn’t be counted out.”

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers had his right hand in a brace on the sidelines of Friday night's preseason game vs. the Panthers. HC Liam Coen offered little afterward, saying only that he's unsure whether Meyers will practice this coming week.

Eagles WR Lemon returned to practice in a limited fashion after hamstring issues, but Eagles beat reporter Jeff McLane says he'll have to wait at least another week to make his debut.

The Athletic's Jesse Newell is the latest Chiefs insider to suggest Kenneth Walker is headed for a huge role this season. Newell writes that Walker has gotten the ball "all the time" in camp, especially in the screen game.

The 49ers' revolving door of injuries continues to spin. WR De'Zhaun Stribling missed Saturday's practice with a shoulder injury and is considered day to day, according to insider Matt Maiocco. WR Mike Evans returned on Saturday after exiting Tuesday's practice with quad tightness. Evans has been on and off the field with quad trouble all month, although Maiocco said the issue is not serious. Neither Evans nor Stribling seems in danger of missing Week 1, but we'll keep an eye on both.

Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon left Week 2 of the preseason with an upper-body injury. Gordon stayed down for several minutes before walking to the locker room for further evaluation. The second-year pro is competing with Jaylen Wright for the No. 2 role behind De'Vone Achane, and we'll let you know when there's an update on Gordon's status.

The Falcons opened camp without Michael Penix Jr, who was still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 11 last season. Now head coach Kevin Stefanski says Penix Jr is cleared for 11-on-11 work and will practice Monday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
