Rachaad White News
Monday, August 24, 11:44 AM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White returned to practice Monday after missing Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, according to Zach Selby. White sat out last Wednesday with a hamstring injury, then was able to do some work Thursday before Washington kept him out of the game. Head coach Dan Quinn said at the time that the injury was not expected to be a long-term issue. White spent his first four seasons with Tampa Bay and finished 2025 with 132 carries for 572 yards and four touchdowns, plus 40 catches for 218 yards. His receiving ability remains one of the clearest ways for him to earn work in a Washington backfield that also includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The Commanders have not committed to a single lead back, so getting White back on the field matters as that rotation takes shape. Monday's return is a positive step after a brief hamstring setback with Week 1 approaching.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Friday, August 21, 5:36 AM
The Carolina Panthers recently participated in a joint practice with the Jaguars ahead of Friday night's preseason matchup. While the session got off to a slow start for the Panthers' offense, things quickly settled into place once quarterback Bryce Young started looking in the direction of wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. "Bryce just started finding TMac in different ways," head coach Dave Canales told reporters after practice. "Explosive passes, touchdowns, things that went into the end zone. It was fantastic to see." Young connected with the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year on a number of plays throughout practice, including a leaping catch in the corner of the end zone that beat double coverage. Afterward, Young spoke about McMillan's importance to the team. "It makes my job so much easier, having a guy like him out there that you can trust one-on-one," he shared. "Obviously he's a huge part of what we do." Following a WR15 finish as a rookie, McMillan is being drafted as the WR17 but has a chance to crack the top 12 as a focal point of the Panthers' offense.
