Brittain Brown News
Saturday, November 1, 2:17 PM
The Chicago Bears elevated running back Brittain Brown from their practice squad for the team's Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chicago will be without running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) against Cincinnati. Rookie running back Kyle Monangai is expected to step into a workhorse role in Week 9. Brown and veteran Travis Homer are the most likely candidates to give Monangai a breather when he needs one. Brown has not appeared in an NFL game since 2022, when he played in six games for the Las Vegas Raiders. The 28-year-old exclusively played special teams for Las Vegas, so he's unlikely to take on much of an offensive role for Chicago in Week 9.

Will Shipley News
Friday, July 17, 5:14 AM
With training camps set to open at the end of the month, depth charts around the league will soon be tested, but one of the deepest rosters in the NFL still belongs to the Philadelphia Eagles, and at the running back spot in particular, third-year veteran Will Shipley provides a luxury to a team with title aspirations. Three-time Pro Bowler Saquon Barkley is firmly entrenched atop the depth chart, but with the 29-year-old back having accumulated more than 800 total touches across his first two seasons with the Eagles, the presence of Shipley and 2025 trade acquisition Tank Bigsby could allow him to keep fresh during the dog days of summer while each competes to carve out their own role. Through his own two seasons in Philadelphia, Shipley has carried the ball only 44 times for an unimpressive 131 yards, but his contributions on special teams boost his chances of sticking on the roster. While he carries little standalone fantasy value into 2026, Shipley would become a popular waiver add should an unfortunate injury strain the Eagles' impressive depth.
