Blake Corum Listed as Backup Behind Kyren Williams in Unofficial Depth Chart

Sunday, August 16, 7:20 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was listed as the backup to Kyren Williams on the team's unofficial preseason depth chart. Corum had a strong second season in 2025, totaling 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 17 games, while adding only 36 receiving yards on eight catches. Although Corum and Williams split work late last season, the team left the veteran back as the RB1, with Corum as the RB2. While the unofficial depth chart isn't a definitive indicator of the team's backfield plans, it does support the Rams' belief in Williams, who recorded over 1,500 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2025. Corum is currently ranked RB32 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, which may be too high a price if he sees a workload similar to last season.

Malik Nabers Sheds Non-Contact Jersey, Remains on Track to Play in Week 1

Monday, August 24, 11:38 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) took another meaningful step Monday, shedding the red non-contact jersey and working into both 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods, according to Connor Hughes. Nabers wasn't a full participant and the Giants practiced without pads, but this was still his first contact-type work since tearing his ACL and meniscus last season. He also made a diving catch coming back to the ball on an intermediate route. Nabers had already returned to full-speed team periods last week while still wearing the red jersey, so Monday moves the recovery forward again. He caught 18 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns in four games before the injury ended his 2025 season. Week 1 has not been formally guaranteed by the team, but Hughes said the outlook continues to look good. With Nabers now taking live reps without the non-contact jersey, he's cleared another important hurdle before the opener.
