From the article

Rookie seventh-rounder Eli Heidenreich. That's not even to say he's been bad — although he did lose quickly in a pass protection rep leading to a sack on Friday — just that he only carried the ball twice, still gaining nine yards, against the Jets. Against the Packers last week, he saw a solid nine carries, but only managed a 2.3-yard average. He hasn't had the opportunity to make a single reception or return yet this preseason, either.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Seventh-rounder Heidenreich quiet in preseason with limited carries, no receptions.

Seventh-round rookie running back had a surprisingly quiet preseason with only two carries for nine yards against the Jets and nine carries for 2.3-yard average against the Packers; has not yet had an opportunity to make a reception or return, leaving his full skill set unexplored in preseason action.
