Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (foot) was held out of Thursday's practice with a foot injury, according to the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs. It's unfortunate news for the former Texas Longhorn, as he's reportedly been the primary short-yardage and goal-line option throughout camp for Chicago. Backfield mate D'Andre Swift is slated to handle most of the backfield work for the Bears, although it isn't unlikely that head coach Ben Johnson might choose to deploy a similar sort of committee as he did during his time in Detroit. Injuries have limited Johnson throughout his first two seasons, and now he's in danger of missing Sunday's meeting with the visiting Miami Dolphins. Rookie rusher Kyle Monangai and sixth-year pro Travis Homer will see an uptick in snaps if that's the case. Johnson is currently being selected just outside the top 175 in drafts.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright carried the ball nine times for 16 yards and a touchdown while not getting targeted in the passing game in a 24-24 tie with the Chicago Bears in preseason action on Sunday. Wright mixed in with the first team on the Dolphins' first drive as he rotated with De'Von Achane early in the game. He appears ticketed for the short-yardage and goal-line work for Miami as he saw three straight carries from inside the five-yard line on the team's first drive of the game and later punched in a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Wright is battling to be the team's RB2 behind Achane after a quiet rookie season in 2024, a role that would give him plenty of fantasy value as a handcuff later in drafts. He will get his next chance to make an impression on Saturday in the Dolphins' second preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
