Running backs are an important component of fantasy football. An excellent fantasy RB is a threat on the ground and in the air, and there are quite a number of these players in the league.
Ahead of Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season, let's examine the injury status of a couple of fantasy football assets at the running back position.
Week 6 RBs injury report
Here are updates on elite running backs ahead of Week 6
Joe Mixon's injury update
According to Yahoo Sports, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon is back in training. The star RB has been out of action since getting tackled by Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards in Week 2.
There's a possibility that he'll suit up against the New England Patriots in Week 6.
Brian Robinson Jr's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Brian Robinson Jr. did not participate in Wednesday’s practice session. The Washington Commanders starting running back missed last week's game due to a knee injury. He'll need to prove his fitness if he's looking to feature against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Travis Etienne's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Travis Etienne participated only partially in Thursday's training session. The Jacksonville Jaguars running back participated only partially last week and again for the first two practices of Week 6.
Etienne will look to ramp up the reps as he aims to feature against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Alvin Kamara's injury update
According to CBS Sports, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara participated only partially in Thursday's training session. The veteran RB is dealing with hip and hand injuries.
Kamara missed Wednesday's walkthrough due to the injuries. However, his return a day later to a capped session bodes well for his status ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rachaad White's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White did not practice on Thursday. White endured a downgrade from Wednesday's limited session as he deals with a foot issue.
The versatile running back is now in a race against time to prove his fitness for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Jonathan Taylor's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor did not practice on Thursday. The former Pro Bowler is dealing with an ankle injury.
To compound the Colts' RB woes further, Taylor's top backup, Trey Sermon, is dealing with a collarbone injury.
Rhamondre Stevenson's injury update
According to CBS Sports, New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson did not practice on Thursday due to a foot issue. As a result, Stevenson's participation in Friday's practice will be critical in determining whether he plays against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
