Brandon Ramirez - Will miss entire 2026 season Ramirez (undisclosed) will miss the entire 2026 season, according to Jackson Moore of 247Sports.com.

Impact Ramirez was battling an undisclosed injury in the offseason, but it seems the issue turned out to be more complicated, and the running back will miss the entire campaign. That means Tariq Thomas and Julius Gillick could be in line for more touches out of the backfield, though they'd still be behind projected starter Bryson Donelson and likely backup Rayshon Luke.
