Josh Jacobs Likely To Be Stuck In Committee
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is expected to be part of a committee approach to begin the season.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford has been impressive during training camp and in the preseason. The fifth-round pick continues to light it up, according to beat writer Mary Kay Cabot.

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss started to look like himself once again during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Denver Broncos.
