Starter: Le’Veon Bell

Backups: La’Mical Perine, Trenton Cannon

Cuts: Josh Adams, Kenneth Dixon, Jalin Moore

The No. 3 spot is the only one up for grabs on New York’s running back depth chart, as La’Mical Perine is all but a lock to work as the No. 2 back behind Le’Veon Bell. Trenton Cannon vs. Josh Adams will be a battle to watch throughout training camp, but Cannon has the edge thanks to his speed and contributions on special teams.
