Washington Commanders rookie seventh-round running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt is getting reps with quarterback
Jayden Daniels and the first-team offense in the no-huddle session during Tuesday's training camp practice. It's something worth watching for the 245th overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft back in April. The 24-year-old had 1,190 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2023 at New Mexico but then ran into eligibility issues in 2024 after transferring to Arizona and played in one game. It's the reason why he fell to the final round of the draft, although he does have some intrigue as a between-the-tackles bruiser. As long as
Austin Ekeler and
Brian Robinson Jr. are healthy, Croskey-Merritt figures to compete the No. 3 change-of-pace role with Chris Rodriguez and
Jeremy McNichols. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can likely ignore him.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. was seemingly the focus of the day in the backfield on Tuesday, getting plenty of work and busting a few impressive runs, according to SI.com's John Shipley. Meanwhile, Shipley says that fellow RB
Tank Bigsby continued his strong training camp and made it to the second level of the defense a few times. Most folks are expecting Bigsby to take over Jacksonville's backfield in 2025 after running for a career-low 558 yards and two touchdowns in 15 starts in 2024 after going over the 1,000-yard rushing mark in his first two seasons. That could very well be the case, but Etienne also isn't going away anytime soon as long as he remains with the Jags. The former first-rounder should be a better scheme fit in head coach Liam Coen's offense, but the presence of Bigsby also probably caps his fantasy upside as an RB3/flex.

The New York Jets signed free-agent kicker
Nick Folk to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. The Jets waived kicker
Caden Davis on Tuesday, so Folk's primary competition for the kicking job in New York will be UFL standout
Harrison Mevis. The 40-year-old Folk will reunite with the Jets after kicking for them from 2010 to 2016. He spent the last two years with the Tennessee Titans and went 21-for-22 on his field-goal tries while making all 25 of his extra-point attempts in 14 games in 2024. As long as Folk doesn't really struggle or get injured in training camp and the preseason in his return to the Jets, he should be the favorite to win the job over Mevis. Heading into his 18th NFL season, Folk has a career 84.3% success rate on 479 field-goal attempts, including going 47-for-70 from 50-plus yards.

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reports that Green Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (groin) suffered a groin injury in Monday's training camp practice and is not practicing on Tuesday, as expected. There was some worry when the Packers described Lloyd's injury as non-contact, and while he still could miss some time, at least it's not a non-contact knee injury. The 24-year-old only played in one game in 2024 in his rookie campaign, though, due to hip, hamstring, ankle and appendix issues. Another injury in training camp in his sophomore season isn't good news for the oft-injured back, but he could be ready to go for the start of the 2025 season. If Lloyd misses more time, it will give extra opportunities to both
Emanuel Wilson and
Chris Brooks behind RB1
Josh Jacobs in training camp.

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.

The Minnesota Vikings made a sizable investment in running back
Jordan Mason by signing him to a two-year contract worth $10.5 million this past offseason. According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, Mason's playing time split with incumbent running back
Aaron Jones will be "much closer" to 50-50 than previous RB1/RB2 splits in Minnesota under head coach Kevin O'Connell. In 12 games for the San Francisco 49ers last season, Mason logged 153 carries for 789 yards and three touchdowns. He wasn't utilized much as a receiver (11 catches), but Vikings offensive coordinator reportedly referred to him as a "natural catching the ball." If Minnesota views Mason as a three-down back, he could be in a fairly even time share with the 30-year-old Jones, whom O'Connell has spoken openly about reducing the workload for. Now might be the time for fantasy managers to invest in Mason, as more buzz about his usage could send him rocketing up draft boards.

New York Giants wide receiver
Malik Nabers (shoulder) walked off the field from Tuesday's practice with the team's head trainer, according to Paul Schwartz of The New York Post. Schwartz reports that Nabers "might have tweaked his shoulder blocking on a running play." The severity of this injury is unclear at this point, but any significant missed time for Nabers would be a major concern for New York. The second-year wide receiver recorded 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games as a rookie in 2024. Nabers is the undisputed top weapon in the Giants' offense and profiles as a first-round fantasy selection in PPR leagues, provided he is healthy for the start of the regular season.
UPDATE: The Giants believe that Nabers avoided a serious injury after leaving Tuesday's practice.--Will BradySource: New York Post - Paul Schwartz

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (back) is sitting out of practice again on Tuesday with back tightness. Smith also missed practice on Monday with the ailment, although there's nothing to suggest that he is dealing with anything serious. The Eagles are likely taking it easy with the veteran as he looks to gear up for his fifth NFL season. Smith caught 68 passes for 833 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games for the Eagles in their Super Bowl-winning season. Assuming his back tightness isn't anything more serious, he sets up as a solid low-end WE2/high-end WR3 heading into fantasy draft season.

Philadelphia Eagles running back
Will Shipley is locked in a training-camp battle to emerge as the team's RB2 behind star
Saquon Barkley. Shipley, who the team has been high on, rushed 30 times for 82 yards and caught all four of his targets for 35 yards last season as a rookie. Whoever wins the RB2 role in Philly is unlikely to see much work behind Barkley, who handled 345 carries last year. That being said, the Eagles' RB2 would set up as one of the top fantasy handcuffs available if Barkley were to miss time in 2025. If he ultimately wins the job, Shipley is worth a look as a late-round dart throw as a handcuff and a must-draft for the manager who uses an early pick on Barkley.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Kenneth Gainwell has been getting work in the team's passing game thus far in training camp. Gainwell, who signed with the Steelers this past offseason after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, has caught more passes (6) than he has had carries (5) through four practices. That may be a sign of things to come as the Steelers could opt to utilize him in a pass-catching role while rookie
Kaleb Johnson handles the early downs and short-yardage situations. Gainwell showed skill in the passing game while with the Eagles, catching 102 of 138 targets across 66 career games. The veteran back is worth a look as a dart-throw option in the later rounds of fantasy drafts this summer.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Emeka Egbuka has turned heads during his first NFL training camp. The first-round rookie out of Ohio State has shown precise routes, high football IQ, and the ability to play all three wide-receiver positions. He told reporters on Monday that he strives to be an overachiever and a perfectionist. "I think part of that has led me to get here," he went on to say. Egbuka has plenty of competition for targets as he will line up on the same field as
Mike Evans and
Chris Godwin, but the early signs are that his strong work ethic and dedication will lead to him having a successful NFL career. For now, he should be treated as a WR5 in redraft leagues for upcoming drafts, but he remains a blue-chip prospect in all dynasty formats.
