2026 NFL Preseason Week 3 Injury Updates for Key Veterans
The 2026 NFL preseason is ongoing, with training camps having started in late July and Week 2 concluding recently. Various veterans are facing injury challenges and competition for roles as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
LeQuint Allen, a second-year running back known for his pass protection, is expected to miss the remainder of training camp due to a soft-tissue injury. This development follows a scrimmage where starting running back Bhayshul Tuten took the lead, while Chris Rodriguez also saw significant action. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts have signed wide receiver Keenan Allen to bolster their receiving corps, particularly as Alec Pierce continues to recover from offseason surgery.
The New York Giants have added running back Najee Harris, potentially in response to concerns over Tyrone Tracy's performance in pass protection. Harris, who is recovering from an Achilles injury, may influence the touch distribution among the Giants' running backs. Additionally, Jacory Croskey-Merritt of the Washington Commanders is reportedly making strides as a pass catcher, positioning himself for a larger role in the backfield this season.
