Yahoo Sports NFL on Lew Nichols

Nichols led preseason backfield but lost out to rookie Heidenreich; practice squad depth.

Running back Lew Nichols led the backfield in two of three preseason games but was squeezed out of the active roster by rookie Eli Heidenreich, the team's seventh-round selection who also has utility on special teams; Nichols signed to practice squad and would be most likely to earn promotion if rookies like Heidenreich struggle to find their footing.
