Inks reserve/future contract The Steelers signed Huntley to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact Huntley spent the preseason with Philadelphia before being waived as part of the team's final roster cuts in late August. The third-year running back then spent time on and off the Steelers' practice squad before finishing the season on this practice squad. In six career games, Huntley has recorded 18 carries for 70 yards, and he'll now look to carve out a role on the active roster heading into the 2023 campaign.

Back on Pittsburgh's practice squad Pittsburgh re-signed Huntley to its practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of Steelers.com reports.

Impact Huntley began the 2022 campaign on the Steelers' practice squad but was cut last Wednesday. He's now returned to the organization, but barring an injury to Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren or Benny Snell, Huntley is unlikely to be elevated to the active roster.

Set for heavy workload With Boston Scott (concussion) and Kenneth Gainwell (hip) out, Huntley is expected to garner a heavy workload during Friday's preseason opener against the Jets, Bo Wulf of The Athl...

Impact Miles Sanders may play a series or two, but Huntley will likely see the large majority of snaps at running back Friday. Wulf also notes that undrafted rookie Kennedy Brooks will get mixed in too, but Huntley has the higher upside. The 2020 fifth-round pick appeared in one game for the Eagles last season, totaling 51 rushing yards on 13 attempts.

One appearance during 2021 campaign Huntley totaled 13 carries for 51 yards and failed to haul in his only target during his only appearances during the 2021 campaign. He also added 84 kick return yards.

Impact With Miles Sanders (hand), Boston Scott (illness) and Jordan Howard (illness) all unavailable for Week 18, Huntley was elevated to the active roster and shared backfield duties with Kenneth Gainwell. Huntley drew one more rushing attempt than Gainwell during the contest, but the latter had 27 more rushing yards and was the only running back involved in the passing game. Huntley also returned three kickoffs for 84 yards. He was drafted by the Lions in 2020, but he was waived before the start of his rookie season and claimed off waivers by the Eagles. He'll be a likely candidate to be a member of Philadelphia's practice squad again during the 2022 season.

Inactive Sunday Huntley is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact With Miles Sanders back from his hand injury, Huntley is the odd man out Sunday, while Boston Scott, Jordan Howard and Kenneth Gainwell are also in the backfield mix for the Eagles' playoff opener.

Promoted from practice squad Huntley was promoted to the Eagles' active roster from the practice squad Monday.

Impact The 23-year-old was a gameday elevation from the practice squad for Saturday's loss to the Cowboys, and he had 13 carries for 51 yards with Miles Sanders (hand), Boston Scott (illness) and Jordan Howard (unavailable). Scott and Howard are now back on the active roster, so Huntley should fill a depth role for Philadelphia's potential playoff run.

Prominent role on tap Huntley was elevated to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Huntley is one of just two active running backs available for the Eagles on Saturday with Boston Scott and Jordan Howard both not activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list. Expect Kenneth Gainwell to be the featured back with Huntley mixing in particularly in passing situations. The 2020 fifth-round pick has not made an appearance with the Eagles this season but did see action with the team in five games last year.

Clears COVID protocols Huntley was activated from the Eagles' practice squad COVID-19 list Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Huntley's activation comes after Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) were already cleared for Tuesday against Washington. The second-year running back will likely remain on the practice squad moving forward, unless new injuries pop up in the Eagles' running back unit.

Lands on practice squad COVID list Huntley was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Huntley will need to produce back-to-back negative tests at least 24 hours apart or complete a 10-day quarantine before he is able to return to team facilities. The second-year pro hasn't appeared in any games for the Eagles this season, so his potential absence shouldn't affect their gameday plans.

Links with practice squad The Eagles signed Huntley (ribs) to the practice squad Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Huntley wasn't listed with an injury designation when the Eagles waived him Tuesday, so it appears that he's recovered from the ribs issue that limited him during the preseason. The 23-year-old return man will look to continue developing as part of the scout team.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Philly The Eagles waived Huntley (ribs) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Huntley injured his ribs during the Eagles' first preseason contest against the Steelers and has been listed as day-to-day since. The 23-year-old appeared in five games for the Eagles last year, recording five carries for 19 yards. His versatility as a return man could warrant him some attention on waivers, but he is likely to land on a practice squad somewhere.

Injures ribs, listed as day-to-day Huntley is listed as day-to-day with a ribs injury, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Huntley evidently injured his ribs during Thursday's preseason loss to the Eagles, but the second-year back still managed to touch the ball five times, not including a 30-yard run that was called back due to penalty. The fact that he's listed as day-to-day is certainly a good sign as he competes with a number of other backs for one of the team's final roster spots.

Leads team in carries and yards Huntley's performance in Thursday's preseason loss to the Steelers seems to have given him an advantage in pursuit of one of the Eagles' final running back roster spots, E.J. Smith...

Impact Huntley carried the ball four times for 15 yards and caught one of three targets for four yards in Thursday's 24-16 preseason loss to the Steelers. He returned a kick 35-yards and also had a 30-yard run called back due to penalty. The 23-year-old has garnered praise for the strides he's made in camp thus far, showcasing his playmaking ability and improvement as a pass blocker. He's battling Jordan Howard and rookie Kenneth Gainwell for one of two likely places on the team, while Kerryon Johnson currently seems to have fallen behind.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Standing out in camp Huntley has shown great improvement over his rookie season so far in training camp, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.

Impact Huntley has flashed his trademark speed in practice and apparently has made a fan of quarterback Jalen Hurts. Fellow running back (and competitor for a roster spot) Kerryon Johnson raved about the 23-year-old's development in pass protection drills, as well. The New Mexico State product also boasts ability in the return game and could carve out a niche for himself there. Huntley still has an uphill battle with Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell and Jordan Howard for one of two roster spots behind Miles Sanders and Boston Scott, however.

Gets into five games in 2020 Huntley rushed five times for 19 yards and caught one of two targets for no gain across five games of the 2020 season.

Impact Until Week 17, Huntley only saw time in the offense in the three games Miles Sanders missed due to injury and even then only played 11 snaps behind Boston Scott and Corey Clement. If the 2020 fifth-rounder is back with the Eagles next season, it will again be in a depth and special-teams role.
