Impresses in HOF Game Dillon rushed three times for 18 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 18 yards in the Panthers' 33-30 preseason win over the Cardinals on Thursday.
Impact Dillon's first three touches came in consecutive fashion early in the second quarter, as he rattled off his 18-yard reception and then gained four yards on his first run of the night. The veteran back followed it up with a one-yard touchdown run on the next play, and his final rush attempt of the night was a game-long 13-yard run to start the following possession. Dillon was the second back in the game behind Trevor Etienne, and the former will look to continue making a strong impression in the Panthers' second preseason game on the road against the Bills on Saturday, Aug. 15.

MARCH 19 • CATCRAVE.COM
Picked up by Panthers Dillon agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract with Carolina, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
Impact Dillon spent last year handling a depth role for the Eagles, logging 12 carries for 60 yards and three catches for 21 yards across seven regular-season appearances. Now with Carolina, Dillon figures to compete for a reserve role and short-yardage work behind incumbent starter Chuba Hubbard, with Jonathan Brooks (knee) and Trevor Etienne already battling for touches. He lacks a clear path to fantasy relevance for the 2026 campaign.
MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE
Ends season with 60 yards Dillon finished the season with 12 carries for 60 yards and three catches for 21 yards.
Impact Dillon entered the year looking like Saquon Barkley's primary backup, but the Eagles were clearly unimpressed with his work, acquiring Tank Bigsby from the Jaguars after Week 1 to fill that role. Dillon held onto a limited role for a few more weeks, but his only game action after Week 6 came in Week 18, with the Eagles resting their starters.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Healthy scratch Week 17 Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact Dillon has not appeared in a regular-season game since Week 6 against the Giants, and his last opportunity to do so is Week 18 against the Commanders. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley will continue to serve as the Eagles' rotational running backs behind Saquon Barkley.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The running back last suited up in Week 6 against the Giants. Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley remain ahead of him on the depth chart.
NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Week 10 Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Healthy scratch Week 7 Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Dillon has worked in a rotational role out of the backfield through the first six games of the regular season, but he will observe Sunday's road game on the sidelines in street clothes. The Eagles will go with a three-man backfield of Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby. Dillon's next opportunity to suit up is Week 8 against the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 26.
OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Three touches in Week 6 Dillon carried the ball once for two yards and caught a pair of passes for 18 yards in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Impact Dillon received his first two targets of the year, but overall his workload remained minimal. He's yet to receive more than three touches or see the field for more than 10 offensive snaps in a game this season.

Two carries in loss Dillon carried the ball twice for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Impact Dillon has seen between five and 10 offensive snaps in all five games this season, never touching the ball more than three times. He's been efficient in that very small sample, averaging 5.3 yards on 11 total carries, but he would need an injury to Saquon Barkley to find his way to fantasy relevance.
OCTOBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Minor role again in Week 4 Dillon carried the ball three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-25 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact Will Shipley returned from an oblique injury, but Dillon remained the No. 2 back behind Saquon Barkley, seeing the field for eight offensive snaps compared to Shipley's three. Unless Barkley gets hurt, however, Dillon is unlikely to see enough snaps to have much fantasy relevance.

Zero carries in Week 3 Dillon did not receive a carry or a target in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.
Impact Dillon received exactly three carries in each of the Eagles' first two games, averaging 8.5 offensive snaps. His already small role nearly dried up in Week 3, as he saw the field for just five offensive snaps and never touched the ball.
