The Detroit Lions have been working through some injury troubles. Dan Campbell’s squad has moved James Houston and C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the IR, prompting Detroit to look for some reinforcements.
In the last few weeks, the Minnesota Vikings have shown a desire to deepen their running back room, adding Abram Smith and Aaron Dykes while auditioning veterans Kareem Hunt and Mike Davis.
Abram Smith’s journey to the NFL is nothing short of a roller-coaster. From dazzling at Baylor, a brief but bright stint with the New Orleans Saints, to then dominating the XFL’s DC Defenders’ ground game, Smith is now poised to shake up the Minnesota Vikings’ backfield.
Abram Smith has some juice and he'll certainly be one of the players worth watching during Minnesota Vikings training camp in the coming days and weeks. The Vikings signed Smith on Thursday after he apparently impressed the team enough during a private workout.
Aaron Wilson reports that the Bills worked out three running backs following the season-ending injury to RB Nyheim Hines. The running backs who worked out for the Bills include Darrynton Evans, Kylin Hill, and Abram Smith.
Did the Saints give up too early on the undrafted free-agent rookie running back Abram Smith? It indeed seems so. Last season, the rookie once put the football on the ground in preseason action against Houston.
The New York Giants hosted a trio of running backs for tryouts in East Rutherford on Tuesday, including former Los Angeles Ram Darrell Henderson. The 25-year-old Henderson was a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft and spent his first three-plus years in Los Angeles.
We have officially entered the stretch run of the season where the stakes are higher, and the games get tighter. Here are the players to watch in Week 9.
The Miami Dolphins held four tryouts on Tuesday, all with running backs, according to the NFL transaction list. Miami welcomed Nate McCrary, La’Mical Perine, Abram Smith, and Antonio Williams to the team’s training facilities.
The Houston Texans hosted free agent RBs Abram Smith and RB Ty’Son Williams for a workout, according to Aaron Wilson. It’s worth noting that Texans rookie RB Dameon Pierce was added to the injury report Wednesday with a hip injury.
The New Orleans Saints recently released running back Abram Smith ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, and it was a decision that made sense for both sides. With Alvin Kamara set to play the entire 2022 season, the Saints have avoided a potential looming problem in their running back corps.
(Houston, TX) — A compelling backup running back battle is occurring in New Orleans. With Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram solidified as the top two rushers, the remaining four toted the ball on Saturday night in Houston.
Where to begin in looking back to last week's results? Normally that would be an easy question to answer after Texas lost to Kansas -- yes, Kansas -- to extend its losing streak to five.
You will get at least one more game to watch these three (and potentially more) play with BU on their helmets. I meant to do a lot of things on here today (like maybe look at Kansas State, our next opponent?) and did precisely none of them.
So is everyone finally done whining about the first college football playoff rankings? Good. Don't want to hear about how Cincinnati -- yawn --got screwed.
The preseason Heisman frontrunner has been benched. Alabama and Ohio State have already lost, Cincinnati is ranked No. 2, Clemson is unranked, and there are teams from Athens to Eugene who think they have a shot at a national championship.
Where to begin this weekend? With Arkansas-Georgia? Ole Miss-Alabama? Cincinnati-Notre Dame? Or even Florida-Kentucky? It's one of those college football Saturdays where we find out which teams can keep the playoffs in their sights.
