News

  • Back with Jets

    The Jets signed Knight to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Knight spent 2023 and the 2024 offseason with the Lions, but he was cut by Detroit back in August. Prior to his tenure with the Lions, Knight played in seven games, making four starts, for the Jets in 2022, rushing 85 times for 300 yards and one touchdown, adding 13-100-0 as a receiver. He'll serve as organizational depth for New York.

  • Dropped by Detroit

    Knight was waived by the Lions on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Knight is headed to waivers after rushing the ball three times for 13 yards in two games for Detroit last season. With Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and Craig Reynolds (leg) both dealing with injuries, Knight could land on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Healthy to start camp

    Knight (shoulder) has been cleared to practice at the start of training camp, Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Knight suffered a torn labrum last season and spent the final three months on injured reserve. He's competing for a roster spot behind David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds this summer.

  • Recovery going well

    Knight (shoulder) has been a limited participant in Lions' OTAs, Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Knight sustained a torn labrum and missed the Lions' final 12 games in 2023, but he's been cleared for seven-on-seven and light team work as of last week. The 23-year-old running back has also been ramping up his workload in hopes of returning for Detroit's mandatory minicamp. Once Knight is back at full health, he's expected to compete for a depth spot in the Lions' backfield ahead of the 2024 season.

  • Moved to IR

    The Lions placed Knight (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Friday that the shoulder injury that Knight sustained in Week 5 against the Seahawks was season-ending. He joined the Lions on Sept. 20 after being waived by the Jets at the end of training camp. Knight played two games this season and registered 21 yards on four touches.

  • Suffers season-ending injury

    Knight (shoulder) sustained a season-ending injury versus the Panthers in Week 5, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Knight's injury specifics remain undisclosed, but his shoulder issue is expected to land him on IR for the remainder of the 2023 campaign. The second-year pro suited up for only two games with Detroit this season, in which span he carried three times for 13 yards and secured his only target for eight yards. His absence leaves the Lions lacking for backfield depth, especially if Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) remains sidelined any longer.

  • Still not practicing Thursday

    Knight (shoulder) did not participate at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Knight has now sat out of consecutive practices to begin the week, casting a heavy shadow of doubt over his availability for Sunday at Tampa Bay. Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) also missed a second straight practice Thursday, leaving Craig Reynolds as Detroit's only fully healthy backup at running back to David Montgomery heading into Week 6.

  • Leaves with injury

    Knight has exited Sunday's game against the Panthers with a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Knight was holding his left arm and was helped off the field by trainers, according to Justin Rogers of The Detroit News. Craig Reynolds has since entered the game in his place, and with the score heavily in Detroit's favor, it's unlikely Knight will return.

  • Inactive with Montgomery healthy

    Knight is inactive for Thursday night's Week 4 game against the Packers.

    Analysis: With David Montgomery returning from his quad injury for this one, Knight is the odd man out as a healthy scratch. Craig Reynolds is more active on special teams and will serve as the third running back behind Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

  • Receives three carries

    Knight rushed three times for 13 yards during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Knight not only got the call to the active roster with David Montgomery (thigh) sidelined, but he logged a few carries as well and ultimately matched No. 2 running back Craig Reynolds in production. However, Jahmyr Gibbs got the vast majority of the work, and most of Knight's responsibilities still came on special teams. The NC State product is not on the fantasy radar in advance of a Week 4 road trip to Green Bay.

  • Joins Detroit's 53-man roster

    Detroit signed Knight off their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Knight's addition to the team suggests the Lions could be in need of running back depth Sunday against the Falcons, and possibly beyond, after David Montgomery (thigh) came out of the Week 2 loss to Seattle with an injury. Even if Montgomery sits out, Knight could find himself third in line for work out of the backfield behind rookie first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds.

  • Joins Lions' practice squad

    Knight signed with Detroit's practice squad Thursday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Knight failed to make the Jets' 53-man roster out of training camp, and rather than sticking around with New York as a member of the practice, he took the opportunity to join an organization with less running back depth. The only two running backs on Detroit's 53-man roster roster are Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, so Knight may be just one injury away from being called up from the practice squad, much like he was down the stretch for the Jets as a rookie in 2022. He appeared in seven games…read more

  • Cut loose by Jets

    The Jets are waiving Knight on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Knight stuck with the team as an undrafted rookie last year and eventually made four starts, but he tumbled down the depth chart this offseason behind Breece Hall (knee), Dalvin Cook and Michael Carter. The Jets seemingly plan to keep fifth-round rookie Israel Abanikanda as their No. 4 RB.

  • Likely on outside looking in

    Knight rushed seven times for 22 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards in Saturday's 32-24 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Knight led all of the Jets' running backs in touches in the team's preseason finale. He's likely to end up on the outside looking in when the Jets announce their 53-man roster Tuesday, with Breece Hall (knee), Dalvin Cook (shoulder), Michael Carter and rookie fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda (thigh) all expected to make the team. Knight should end up on the Jets' practice squad if he isn't claimed by another team, but he could be elevated for the regular-season opener against the Bills if…read more

  • Serves as main back Saturday

    Knight rushed eight times for 33 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Jets' 13-6 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night. He also returned one kickoff for 23 yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Dalvin Cook (shoulder), Breece Hall (knee) and Michael Carter were all given the night off, while Israel Abanikanda (thigh) suffered an in-game injury, all adding up to a busy night for Knight. The second-year back was reasonably productive on a per-touch basis, but his early second-quarter fumble did lead to a Buccaneers field goal. Knight is presumably battling Abanikanda for the No. 4 running back role, and he could well have sealed that job partly by default due the rookie's injury.

  • Backfield grows more crowded

    Knight's chances of making the Jets' roster took a hit Monday, as Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that New York has agreed to a one-year contract with Dalvin Cook (shoulder).

    Analysis: With Breece Hall (knee) and Cook likely locked into the top two spots on the depth chart when healthy, the Jets are unlikely to keep all three of Michael Carter, Israel Abanikanda and Knight, and it wouldn't be surprising if only one of the latter three made the team. Carter was a fourth-round pick in 2021 and Abanikanda was a fifth-round pick in 2023, so the team has the least draft capital invested in Knight, who appeared in seven games for the Jets last season after signing as an undrafted…read more

  • Outplayed by Carter and Abanikanda

    Knight rushed four times for 13 yards and caught one of two targets for three yards in Saturday's 27-0 preseason win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Knight was almost charged with a fumble at the end of a three-yard catch on New York's opening drive, but he was ruled down on replay. He and Michael Carter both mixed in on New York's first two drives, but Carter was far more effective, with 53 scrimmage yards on six touches. Rookie fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda played the majority of the game after that point and impressed with 87 yards between 12 carries and three catches. The Jets may keep only one of Knight or Abanikanda on the 53-man…read more

  • Listed ahead of Abanikanda

    Knight is listed second on the Jets' first preseason running back depth chart behind Michael Carter, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Breece Hall (knee) isn't listed since he's still recovering from a torn ACL, but he's the presumed No. 1 option when healthy. It's noteworthy that Knight is ahead of rookie fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda. As long as he stays ahead of Abanikanda, Knight will be in good position to secure a roster spot, barring the Jets shaking things up by signing a veteran such as Dalvin Cook.

  • Healthy for start of camp

    Knight (undisclosed) is participating in training camp, Eric Allen and Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site report.

    Analysis: Knight missed most of OTAs due to an undisclosed injury, but he has healed up for the beginning of training camp. He rotated in on kick returns, as did fellow running backs Michael Carter and Travis Dye. The Jets also have Breece Hall (knee) -- who opened training camp on the PUP list -- and rookie fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda in the backfield, so Knight will need a strong performance in training camp and preseason to secure a roster spot after appearing in seven games with the Jets as a…read more

  • Battling injury in OTAs

    Knight (undisclosed) has been banged up at OTAs and has mostly been working off to the side, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The exact nature of Knight's injury hasn't been revealed, but he can ill afford to miss extensive time once training camp kicks off, as Knight will be battling for one of the final roster spots on the team. Heading into his second NFL season, Knight currently looks like the fourth running back on the Jets' depth chart behind Breece Hall (knee), Michael Carter and rookie fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda.

  • Bottled up in season finale

    Knight rushed 12 times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Knight burst onto the scene with consecutive 100-yard scrimmage games, but he cooled off after the hot start, totaling only 70 rushing yards on 39 rushing attempts for a paltry 1.8 yards per carry over his last four appearances. The undrafted rookie could factor into the Jets' backfield plans next season, though he'll likely be pushed to a reserve role whenever Breece Hall (knee) is deemed healthy. Knight totaled exactly 300 yards on 85 carries and 13 catches for 100 yards on 14 targets across…read more

  • Held in check again

    Knight carried the ball eight times for 27 yards and caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The rookie running back had another disappointing performance despite leading the Jets backfield in touches, albeit barely over Ty Johnson (nine touches). With New York now eliminated from playoff contention, the focus of the team's game plan in Week 18 could be on developing younger players, but Knight's poor numbers the last few games may have already shown the Jets all they needed to see.

  • Forgettable night in Week 16 loss

    Knight rushed six times for minus-2 yards and brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Jets' 19-3 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Knight paced the Jets' running backs in rush attempts, but that was largely irrelevant due to the sparse volume and the non-existent production it led to. Knight's brief moment of success came on his one reception, but he'll head into what is a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Seahawks with 21 yards on 19 carries over his last two games. Although Knight had put in a full practice Wednesday despite dealing with an ankle issue, the extra time between Thursday and the game against…read more

    Analysis: Despite being listed as a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Knight still took a designation into the Week 16 contest. Fantasy managers who are planning on using Knight this week will still want to ensure that he's officially cleared when the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site previously noted that Knight came out of the Jets' Week 15 loss to Detroit with the ankle issue, but he wasn't listed on the team's first two Week 16 injury reports. Per Cimini, Knight is trending toward playing versus Jacksonville, but the questionable designation nonetheless makes the running back's status worth confirming ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site previously relayed that Knight came out of Week 15 action with an ankle issue, but Knight didn't appear on the team's practice/injury report following Monday's walkthrough. Based on that, Knight is on track to suit up for Thursday's contest and thus in line to continue to lead New York's backfield Week 16, with Michael Carter mixing in.

    Knight (ankle) could play Thursday versus the Jaguars, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knight is dealing with an ankle injury sustained during Sunday's loss to the Lions, in which he carried the ball 13 times for 23 yards and wasn't targeted. The undrafted rookie may have to practice as at least a limited participant prior to Thursday's contest to have any chance of suiting up. If he does play but is still hampered by the ankle issue, Knight may end up splitting touches with Michael Carter.

  • Worst game as pro in Week 15

    Knight rushed 13 times for 23 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Knight was the only Jets running back to record a rushing attempt in the first half, but he was bottled up by an improving Detroit front, mustering only 15 yards on eight carries. He split touches with Michael Carter in the second half as New York continued to struggle on the ground. Knight's fresh legs gave him an edge over tired defenders when he first joined the Jets in Week 12, but perhaps the undrafted rookie out of NC State is starting to wear down himself as New York prepares to host the…read more

  • Leads backfield in Carter's return

    Knight rushed 17 times for 71 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Knight was bottled up in the first half but finally broke free for a 13-yard touchdown run on the first possession after halftime, shaking off tackles to tie the score at seven. He finished with 19 touches to eight for Michael Carter, who mustered only 20 scrimmage yards and lost a crucial fumble in his return from an ankle injury. Knight has 298 scrimmage yards through his first three NFL games and should maintain the lead role in Week 15 against the generous Lions run defense.

  • Expected to maintain key role

    With Michael Carter (ankle) back from a one-game absence and James Robinson inactive, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com relays that the Jets will roll with a Week 14 backfield of Knight, Carter and Ty Johnson.

    Analysis: Though Cimini notes that Carter is in line to see his share of touches in his return and Johnson is a candidate to see third-down work, he suggests that Knight could claim a larger share of the carries Sunday, on the heels of two straight strong efforts filling in for Carter. In such a context, Knight should continue to offer a degree of week 14 fantasy utility versus a Buffalo defense that has yielded an average of 101.8 rushing yards per game to date.

  • Set to remain part of RB rotation

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Knight will remain a part of the Jets' backfield rotation with Michael Carter (ankle) expected to return from a one-game absence this Sunday at Buffalo, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. "He's not going anywhere," Saleh said of Knight.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of NC State was added to the Jets' 53-man roster in late October but had been inactive for every game until he dressed ahead of James Robinson in Week 12. He was then thrust into action when Carter departed early in the Jets' eventual 31-10 win over the Bears, finishing with 14 carries for 69 yards to go with three catches fore 34 yards. While filling the lead role in last week's loss to the Vikings with Carter sitting out the entire game, Knight continued to excel,…read more

  • Tops 100 scrimmage yards again

    Knight rushed 15 times for 90 yards and caught all five of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Knight got the start at running back and finished with 20 touches while James Robinson and Ty Johnson combined for 11 with Michael Carter (ankle) unavailable. After being bottled up for most of the game, Knight ripped off a 48-yard run down the sideline in the fourth quarter, accounting for the majority of his rushing yards. Carter has a low ankle sprain, so a Week 14 return against Buffalo is possible for the shifty second-year back; however, Knight's powerful running style should allow him to…read more

  • Increased workload on tap

    Knight could again play a large role out of the Jets backfield Sunday at Minnesota with Michael Carter (ankle) listed as doubtful for that contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Carter departed the Jets' Week 12 win against the Bears early with what eventually was termed a low-ankle sprain, giving Knight and Ty Johnson elevated opportunities to produce. And both players did just that, as Knight turned a 48 percent snap share into 17 touches for 103 yards from scrimmage while Johnson had six touches for 78 total yards and a rushing TD on 24 percent of plays. Considering the Vikings boast the 14th-ranked run defense at 114.6 yards per game, both Knight and Johnson should…read more

Coach Robert Saleh praised the undrafted rookie's hard running style, which was the reason he was used over James Robinson (coach's decision), per Zack Rosenblatt of the Athletic.

    Knight was signed to the Jets' active roster from their practice squad, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Knight joined the Jets as an UDFA out of NC State, and he did initially make the 53-man roster after impressing in camp, but he was ultimately waived and signed to the practice squad in early September. With Breece Hall (knee) out for the season, and recent acquisition James Robinson's debut date unknown due to knee soreness, Knight will be able to provide depth at running back for the team moving forward.

    The Jets waived Knight on Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Knight signed with the Jets in May as an undrafted free agent out of NC State, where he rushed 140 times for 753 yards and three scores during his final collegiate campaign. He impressed during training camp and rushed 15 times for 53 yards across three preseason contests. Knight initially made the team's 53-man roster, but he's been waived to make room for the Jets to re-sign veteran offensive lineman Conor McDermott.

  • Rips off 22-yard run

    Knight rushed four times for 31 yards in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Knight showed nice burst to get to the sideline on a 22-yard run in the fourth quarter. The rookie undrafted free agent out of NC State is unlikely to make the 53-man roster, but the Jets will likely keep Knight around on the practice squad.

  • Quiet in second preseason game

    Knight rushed five times for nine yards in Monday's 24-16 preseason win over the Falcons. He added two kickoff returns for 56 yards.

    Analysis: Knight has averaged just two yards per carry in the preseason, so his best chance of making the Jets' roster is as a special teams contributor. More realistically, the undrafted rookie out of NC State will likely end up on the practice squad unless he blows away expectations in Sunday's preseason finale against the Giants.

  • Finds end zone in NFL debut

    Knight rushed six times for 13 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-21 preseason win over Philadelphia. He also returned two kickoffs for 63 yards, with a long of 52 yards.

    Analysis: Knight is a long shot to make the Jets' roster, but the undrafted rookie from NC State helped his case with a strong preseason debut. He moved the pile to score from two yards out in the third quarter and also showcased his abilities as a return man on special teams. Knight should get plenty of playing time in New York's next preseason game Monday, Aug. 22 against the Falcons.

  • Impressing in camp

    Knight's making a case to land on the Jets' roster with a strong start to training camp, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Knight has worked primarily with third-string quarterback Mike White, but the undrafted free agent out of NC State has impressed the coaching staff with his performance in that role, including a 65-yard touchdown run to cap Friday's practice. "He's having a nice camp," coach Robert Saleh said of Knight. While Knight's still fighting an uphill battle against Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson (hamstring) for the third-string running back spot behind Breece Hall and Michael Carter, a factor working in…read more
