Jordan Mason News
Monday, August 10, 5:37 AM
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason led the team in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns in 2025, and after arriving at training camp in exceptional shape, he's drawn the praise of beat reporters throughout the summer, with The Athletic's Alec Lewis the most recent to label him as a camp standout. Listing Mason as one of four running backs to make the team in his latest 53-man roster projection, Lewis points out the explosiveness he's shown in team drills while also acknowledging the trust that head coach Kevin O'Connel has in veteran Aaron Jones Sr. Jones is now 31 years old and missed five games in 2025, so the team could opt to keep him fresh in his 10th season by limiting some of his between-the-tackles touches and using him more in the passing game, opening an opportunity for Mason to claim the bulk of early-down and goal-line work. At RotoBaller's RB37, Mason is a late-round target with double-digit touchdown potential in what should be an improved Vikings offense.

Zach Charbonnet News
Tuesday, July 28, 11:46 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) could be in a close race to return for Week 1 as he recovers from a torn ACL, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Breer reports that Seattle intends to handle Charbonnet cautiously to ensure he is available when the team needs him most. The 25-year-old suffered the injury during the Seahawks' divisional-round victory over San Francisco, underwent surgery on Feb. 20, and opened training camp on the active/PUP list. Charbonnet rushed 184 times for 730 yards and a team-high 12 touchdowns across 16 regular-season games in 2025 while adding 20 receptions for 144 yards. His uncertain status makes first-round rookie Jadarian Price a pivotal figure in Seattle's early backfield plans. The Seahawks selected Price 32nd overall after he recorded 674 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 113 carries while complementing Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame. Charbonnet can be activated from active/PUP at any point during camp, but his August progress will determine whether he is available for the season opener.
