Royce Freeman Used Heavily In Preseason Opener

It's not usually a good sign for a player's regular season value if they're playing a lot in the first preseason game. Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman is the latest example of that, as he touched the football 15 times in Sunday's win over the Saints. He finished with 25 rushing yards and 19 […]

Dameon Pierce Looks Good In Preseason Debut

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce ran the ball five times in the team's preseason win over the Saints, finishing with 49 yards.

Miami Dolphins cornerback P.J. Locke intercepted Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush during the teams' postseason opener on Saturday evening.

Carolina Panthers running back Spencer Brown handled 10 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders.

Jonathan Williams Leads Commanders in Rushing

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams carried the ball five times for 31 yards in Saturday’s preseason loss to the Panthers.
