DeeJay Dallas News
Monday, February 16, 7:52 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Monday that they re-signed running back DeeJay Dallas to an undisclosed deal. Dallas appeared in only six regular-season games in 2025, split between the Carolina Panthers and the Jaguars. He only saw three rushing attempts for 21 yards and didn't catch his only target in the passing game. The 27-year-old also contributed on special teams, returning 12 kickoffs for 321 yards. He was a healthy scratch in the Wild-Card Round loss to the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs. Dallas most likely will face an uphill battle for playing time in Jacksonville in 2026, but he could have more of a chance for a role in the Jags' backfield if the team lets Travis Etienne Jr. walk as a free agent. The former fourth-rounder by the Seattle Seahawks in 2020 out of Miami has a total of 124 rushing attempts for 538 yards and four touchdowns in his six years in the NFL with four different teams.

Patrick Taylor Jr. News
Wednesday, August 20, 9:56 AM
The San Francisco 49ers have placed veteran running back Patrick Taylor Jr. (shoulder) on the season-ending injured reserve list. Taylor suffered a dislocated shoulder in the team's second preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, and he joins the growing list of 49ers running backs struck by injury. While presumed backup Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) was able to return to practice on Tuesday after missing several weeks with a shoulder injury of his own, the team has already lost Ameer Abdullah (ribs) for the season. Rookie Jordan James has already missed a few weeks due to a broken finger. After trading Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings, the 49ers' running back depth has been seriously tested already, which is the last thing the team needs in their efforts to keep All-Pro Christian McCaffrey healthy. Jeff Wilson Jr. and Ke'Shawn Vaughn will likely see the majority of work in the team's final preseason game. If he can remain healthy, McCaffrey once more enters the year as perhaps the biggest difference maker in fantasy football. Still, given his checkered injury history, Guerendo is one of the league's most important backups to roster.
