Buccaneers running back Andre Ellington has carried the ball 10 times for just 24 yards and caught five passes for 20 yards throughout these past two preseason games. On top of disappointing yardage totals, he also fumbled away the ball on Friday against Miami. Ellington's disappointing showing thus far could play into whether he makes the team or not.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent running back Andre Ellington to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. Ellington played almost five seasons under head coach Bruce Arians in their time with the Cardinals, so the two have familiarity. The sixth-round pick in 2013 was out of the league last year and carried the ball five times and caught six passes in two starts with the Texans in 2017. The Bucs will rebuild their backfield this offseason, but Ellington is unlikely to be a big part of [...]

The San Francisco 49ers worked out free-agent running backs Charcandrick West, Matt Dayes, Shane Vereen, Andre Ellington and Jeremy McNichols this week and signed Dayes to their practice squad, according to a source. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable to play on Monday night against Green Bay, the Niners are looking for some depth at the position. Expect Alfred Morris to be a high-volume RB2 if Breida can't play, with Raheem Mostert and Kyle Juszczyk filling in.

This article references Andre Ellington and more! Houston Texans running back Andre Ellington, claimed off waivers this week from the Cardinals, is a healthy inactive Monday night against the Ravens.

The Houston Texans made two roster moves on Tuesday, cutting third-string quarterback Josh Johnson--a move that likely signals that Tom Savage will remain the team's starting quarterback for the remainder of the season--and claiming former Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington off waivers to replace D'Onta Foreman, who will miss the rest of the season after tearing his Achilles.
