Elijah Mitchell News
Tuesday, December 23, 11:37 PM
The New England Patriots signed veteran free-agent running back Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Mitchell quickly latches on with another team after the Kansas City Chiefs waived him last weekend. Patriots rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a concussion in Sunday night's win over the Baltimore Ravens and is in danger of missing the Week 17 game against the New York Jets, so the Pats will bring in Mitchell to give the team more RB depth at the end of the regular season. If Henderson doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol by this Sunday, Mitchell could be elevated to the active 53-man roster to serve as the RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and D'Ernest Johnson. Unless Stevenson also misses time with an injury, Mitchell is unlikely to become a major contributor in New England's offense. He was active for just one game with KC this year and didn't have a single rushing attempt.

Kenny McIntosh News
Sunday, March 22, 8:15 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee) could be in the mix to lead the team's backfield in 2026. According to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, "McIntosh is as talented as any running back on the roster and should get an opportunity to be one of the two lead guys." This is an interesting development out of Seattle. While McIntosh, who is working his way back from a torn ACL, is a near-lock to make the roster out of camp, there hadn't been much buzz for him to push his way to the top of the depth chart until now. Dugar said that he believes the 26-year-old's contact balance, breakaway speed, and reliable hands could vault him into a lead role over Emanuel Wilson and Zach Charbonnet (knee). There's still plenty of time between now and Week 1, and we could see this backfield go in any direction depending on external additions, injuries, or individual camp performances. At the very least, though, McIntosh suddenly becomes an intriguing buy-low target in dynasty leagues, especially if he has a path to earning more than half of the snaps and rushing attempts in the season opener.
