    Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen (soft tissue) will miss the rest of training camp.

    Allen suffered a soft tissue injury during Monday’s practice and the Jaguars announced Tuesday morning that he’ll miss the rest of training camp. It’s unclear if he’ll be ready for the start of the regular season. While Allen doesn’t have standalone fantasy value, he seemed destined for a legitimate role as the primary receiving back in this offense. If Allen misses time in the regular season, it would boost receiving opportunities for Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez.

    Coen discussed both RB Bhayshul Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez during his presser. Regarding Tuten, Coen said the second-year back has shown that he has “bought in” over the past year, and complimented his ability to take “hard coaching” while noting his 4.28-second 40 speed. Coen adds that Tuten has to continue working on making his reads and not overthinking things. Regarding Rodriguez, Coen complimented his recent downhill running and blitz pickups. Coen loves consistency at the running back position. This looks like it will be a committee to start the year. That said, if one player separates, things can change quickly. Tuten remains the high-upside pick, although Rodriguez can be productive in his own right.

    Allen’s pass-protection skills have him locked in as the Jaguars’ third-down running back. He played in all 17 games last season, but earned just 11 targets — hardly enough for a PPR-relevant role. Per Shipley, “has gotten more looks in the passing game in training camp this year than he did at this time a year ago.” He adds that it is unclear as to how much more involved Allen will be once the regular season arrives, but he closes by saying that “it does seem like the uptick is about to be very real.” With two other players expected to be involved in the backfield, it could still be tough for Allen to become FLEX-viable, but only time will tell.

    Despite Tuten impressing in training camp per all eyes on the ground and Rodriguez being sidelined for most of the offseason with a foot injury, it remains a split backfield. That’s not a particularly auspicious sign for Tuten, though we imagine this will be a hot hand backfield and probably split in a way where no one actually leaves happy anyway with LeQuint Allen also siphoning third-down plays. The Jaguars have said they’re not playing their starters in the preseason, so this may remain a murky situation through the end of draft season.

    Rodriguez got some snaps between the 20s as well, rotating in behind RB Bhayshul Tuten. Per Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley, Rodriguez “got most, if not all, of the goal-line type reps.” In a separate article, Shipley notes that the Jaguars’ running back usage at last year’s scrimmage did not carry over into the regular season, and said it would be “dangerous to use the scrimmage as a data point.” The Jaguars have been easing Rodriguez back into action in recent weeks, following foot surgery. We suppose it is possible that they were just giving him an extended look in this situation. Regardless, at 5'11/224, Rodriguez has the prototypical size for this type of role. Tracking his practice and preseason usage will be worthwhile.
  • JAC Running Back #33
    Tuten operated as the starter, but “eventually, the Jaguars settled into a rotation where Tuten would start the drives before pass-protection specialist RB LeQuint Allen took over on third down, and RB Chris Rodriguez would enter the lineup when the Jaguars got within the 10-yard line. We still don’t know if Allen owns the two-minute drill role, but we know the team values his passing game skill set. He should be considered the favorite for both passing down gigs. If this overall rotation accurately reflects coach Liam Coen’s intentions, Tuten will have a difficult time returning value at his current ADP. That said, Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley notes that “last year’s scrimmage would have told you that Tank Bigsby was the Jaguars’ RB1,” so today’s roles may not be set in stone. Preseason usage could be the biggest tell. Stay tuned.

    This admittedly isn’t much of an update, but it is something. Rodriguez took his first two reps in team drills at the Jaguars’ fourth training camp practice on Sunday. He took one handoff from QB Nick Mullens and one from starting QB Trevor Lawrence. Rodriguez’s return from foot surgery has been slow going. The Jaguars will host their first padded practice tomorrow. Upgrading to two team-drill reps does not suggest Rodriguez is ready for contact, but we’ll find out soon enough. For now, RB Bhayshul Tuten has the inside track to the starting job.
  • JAC Running Back #33
    Shipley acknowledges that he keeps writing about how good Tuten has looked, but he reasonably counters that he can only report what he’s seeing. Evidently, he’s seeing Tuten “building a lot of momentum” while RB Chris Rodriguez (foot) is stuck in individual drills. Drafting players in ambiguous backfields has been an established, sharp strategy for years now. Although this bunch could be losing its ambiguity a tad, Tuten’s Rounds 5-6 best ball ADP could still end up being a bargain.
  • JAC Running Back
    That timeline his far more ambiguous than we had previously thought, even though Rodriguez is currently participating in individual drills at training camp. Head coach Liam Coen later added, “We’re trying to get him back without any sort of hiccups or bumps.” It sounds like workload management more so than any risk of Rodriguez actually missing the Jags’ opener. Still, needing your training camps managed because of an offseason foot procedure isn’t ideal. With some lingering concerns around this foot issue, Bhayshul Tuten is pulling away as the clear favorite to lead the Jags in carries this year.
  • JAC Running Back
    Rodriguez underwent foot surgery in the offseason and missed all of OTAs and minicamp. He is ready to go for training camp, but the team is taking things slowly and holding him out of team drills for now. The extra reps should give second-year back Bhayshul Tuten a small leg up in terms of Week 1 carries, but this ultimately projects as a two-man committee to start the year.
  • JAC Running Back #33
    Speaking on The Schrager Hour, Coen talked up Tuten’s ability to create yards after contact and his straight-line speed. Coen also noted Tuten’s prowess as a red zone runner. Tuten is the presumed starter with Travis Etienne gone, but Chris Rodriguez should still see plenty of work. Coen also coached Rodriguez at Kentucky, giving him some extra familiarity with the offense. Tuten is the higher-upside bet, and early drafters are treating him as such, selecting him as the RB25 compared to RB42 for Rodriguez. It’s likely that one of these two backs pays off their ADP, but it will be hard for both to return value in the same season.

    Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton was carted to the locker room at practice on Tuesday.

    Thornton spent time in the medical tent before he was carted to the locker room during Tuesday’s practice. It’s unclear what the injury may be. Hopefully it’s nothing serious, but if Thornton has to miss time during the regular season that would stand to benefit Cyrus Allen as he tries to establish himself in the Chiefs’ receiver group.

    Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters TE Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) will be ready for Week 1.

    Sadiq is getting closer to being ready, according to Glenn. The head coach reiterated as he said earlier this month that Sadiq’s absence won’t extend into the regular season. Missing as much time as he did this offseason and in training camp, it’s unlikely Sadiq will have an immediate fantasy impact.

    Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters RB Breece Hall (groin) will be out 2-3 weeks.

    Hall suffered a groin strain and left Monday’s practice with Glenn saying he didn’t think the injury was a big deal. Now Hall is set to miss the next 2-3 weeks. The good news is that Hall is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but the kind of breakout season fantasy drafters are looking for from Hall typically don’t begin with a multi-week preseason injury. Hall may be ready for the start of the season, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan. Braelon Allen is the late-round handcuff for Hall if his absence does extend into the regular season.

    Packers HC Matt LaFluer told reporters RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will return to practice on Tuesday.

    Jacobs has been out since August 6 with a groin injury, but the 28-year-old running back will return to practice on Tuesday. With the possibility of a suspension still looming if the league finds that he violated the Personal Conduct policy, Jacobs is a risky RB2 going in the fourth round of fantasy drafts.

    Raiders TE Brock Bowers (personal) returned to practice on Monday.

    Bowers missed Sunday’s practice with a personal issue. He returned Monday and caught two touchdowns from Kirk Cousins during team drills. Bowers was spotted with tape on his left knee, the same knee that he injured last year (PCL sprain). Hopefully it turns out to be nothing and Bowers wasn’t limited in any way during Monday’s practice, but it could be something worth keeping an eye on.

    Coleman scored the first touchdown in the first preseason game at the Bills’ new stadium over the weekend, but showed up to practice in a walking boot on Tuesday. We’ll have more information about the injury when it’s available, but this could be a sign that Coleman is dealing with a significant, long-term injury.

    Jaguars WR Parker Washington is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, reports Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union.

    The Jaguars announced that Washington is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Washington will miss the rest of this week, but is expected to return next week. It doesn’t seem like this is anything to panic about just yet. Based on the way Washington finished last season and everything we’ve heard from Jaguars camp this offseason, he has established himself as the top wide receiver in Jacksonville.

    Falcons signed EDGE Za’Darius Smith.

    Smith signed with the Eagles and appeared in five games before abruptly announcing his retirement in October of last year. He worked out for the Browns, one of his many former teams, as recently as last week. Now Jonathan Jones of the Athletic reports the Falcons have signed Smith for pass rush help. It’s unclear how much the 33-year-old EDGE has left in the tank. The last time Smith played a full season was in 2024 when he recorded nine sacks in 17 games with the Browns and Lions.

    Colts signed WR Keenan Allen to a one-year, $8.32 million contract.

    The new was first reported by NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. With the Colts in need of a starting caliber receiver given Alec Pierce’s slow recovery from offseason ankle surgery, Allen was an obvious fit. He was the best wide receiver still available and with the news that the Saints lost Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) for roughly two months dropping earlier Monday evening, the Colts finally pulled the trigger on a one-year deal for the 34-year-old veteran. While Allen instantly becomes a fantasy-relevant player again, his fit in the offense is interesting. Even in his prime, Allen was never a field-stretching deep threat like Pierce, the receiver he’s replacing. That means he’ll be fighting for the same underneath targets that will also go to Tyler Warren and Josh Downs. There will be plenty of targets to go around for all three to pay off their draft cost in PPR formats, but the overall efficiency of the offense could suffer without a legitimate deep threat.
