Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer Demetrius Harvey says that running back Tank Bigsby has been getting a lot of work lately in training camp, and it's becoming more clear that he's someone that is "going to be heavily involved in the offense." RotoBaller has Bigsby currently ranked as the No. 50 RB going into the 2025 season, but he's probably going to rise up draft boards the closer we get to the regular season if he continues to be heavily involved during camp and the preseason. The 23-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Auburn took a big step forward in his second season in 2024 with 168 carries for 766 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns in 16 games (one start) while catching seven passes for 54 yards. Travis Etienne Jr. is still in the fold, though, and Bigsby has caught just eight passes in his first few seasons. Getting more work in the passing attack is the next step for Bigsby.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) is battling knee soreness and will be re-evaluated before the team's practice on Thursday, according to Andy Vasquez of NJ Advance Media. The second-year back served as the backup to Breece Hall last season, rushing for 334 yards and two touchdowns on 92 carries as a rookie. While Allen is still projected to be behind Hall on the Jets' RB depth chart, early reports have indicated that New York plans for a more committee-style backfield in 2025. At 235 lbs., Allen could be the primary goal-line and short-yardage back for the Jets this season, putting him in a position to potentially lead the backfield in rushing touchdowns. While this injury doesn't seem particularly serious, it's worth monitoring to see how much practice time it causes Allen to miss. With a new coaching staff in place for the Jets this year, every preseason rep will be valuable for Allen to build trust.
