Julius Chestnut Finds the End Zone on Friday

Saturday, August 23, 9:02 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut got the start in his team's final preseason game on Friday night against the Minnesota Vikings and rushed for 28 yards and a touchdown on five carries. The 24-year-old played in 17 games for the Titans in 2024, recording 22 carries for 102 yards. With Tyjae Spears (ankle) currently sidelined, Chestnut could have an opportunity to open the season as the RB2 in Tennessee behind Tony Pollard. Sixth-round rookie Kalel Mullings figures to be Chestnut's biggest competition, so it could be telling that it was Chestnut who played the opening drive against the Vikings on Friday.

Emanuel Wilson Sees Eight Carries, 38 Yards In Packers' Preseason Win

Saturday, August 23, 8:06 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson led the Packers in rushing yards in their final preseason game, a 20-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson came into the game after Chris Brooks left in the middle of the Packers' second drive. Playing primarily at the end of the first quarter and almost halfway into the second quarter. Leading the team in rushing yards with 38 and tying for the most carries (8) on the day, Wilson is third in the pecking order for running back touches behind Josh Jacobs and Brooks. Wilson is very likely to break camp with the Packers if MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) isn't healthy, but Wilson shouldn't be drafted in fantasy leagues unless more injuries strike the running back room in Green Bay.
