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.

Heidenreich's two carries and 2.3-yard average show limited RB3 opportunity.

Rookie seventh-rounder Eli Heidenreich has had a surprisingly quiet preseason; against the Jets he only carried the ball twice, gaining nine yards, though he did lose quickly in a pass protection rep leading to a sack. Against the Packers the previous week, he saw a solid nine carries but only managed a 2.3-yard average, suggesting limited opportunity to make an impact so far.
