Jeremy McNichols News
Sunday, August 16, 11:13 AM
Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols (quad) will miss a few weeks, according to Ben Standig. Head coach Dan Quinn provided the timeline Sunday after McNichols had already missed Friday's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old appeared in all 17 games for Washington last season, finishing with 44 carries for 221 yards and a touchdown while catching 25 passes for another 196 yards. McNichols is currently listed alongside rookie Kaytron Allen on the third line of the Commanders' unofficial depth chart, behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White. His absence leaves more camp and preseason work available for Allen and undrafted rookie Robert Henry Jr. Both got chances against Miami, with Henry breaking a 22-yard touchdown run and Allen scoring from four yards out. McNichols was already fighting for a depth role in a crowded backfield, so missing multiple weeks at this stage of camp could make that battle tougher for him when he returns.

Najee Harris News
Friday, August 21, 8:17 AM
New York Giants running back Najee Harris is getting a real chance to work his way into an already crowded backfield. Jordan Raanan reports that Harris was brought in with the expectation that he'll be a significant contributor, and the veteran got three carries during Thursday's joint practice with Miami after only three days with the team. Harris is still getting back up to speed after tearing his Achilles last season with the Chargers, but his track record is easy to understand. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons with Pittsburgh. Cam Skattebo remains the top option and has been first up most days in camp, while Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are still firmly in the mix. So there isn't a clean fantasy role here yet. Harris wasn't signed to sit at the bottom of the depth chart, though. If he keeps showing he can handle live work, he could force his way into a meaningful share of the carries as the season moves along.
