The main goal for NFL teams during the preseason is to get to the regular season healthy. That is a big reason why we always see veteran NFL free agents signed to rosters at the end of training camp, since they will be ready to step in and play Week 1. This is especially true for veteran running backs, since they don’t need to practice at this point in their careers.
Whether you’re the Baltimore Ravens, who just suffered an injury to their backfield, or you’re another team looking for more quality depth, there are a number of interesting veteran running back NFL free agents who may still have a little left in the tank. Let’s take a look at some of the veteran RBs still floating in the open market.
