Orleans Darkwa News
Free-agent running back Orleans Darkwa (Achilles), who tore his Achilles working out for the Jaguars last October, is said to be "100 percent" recovered from the injury and ready to sign with a team. Darkwa had a career-high 171 carries for 751 yards (4.4 average) and five touchdowns in his final season with the Giants in 2017. He could be scooped up by another team, but he's unlikely to carve out a significant role wherever he lands at this point.
The Jacksonville Jaguars worked out free-agent running backs Orleans Darkwa and Matt Dayes on Tuesday. This is an indication that Leonard Fournette will miss multiple games after aggravating his hamstring injury in Week 4. In the meantime, T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant should share the backfield duties. Yeldon will be an RB2 in a good matchup against the Chiefs soft defense this Sunday.
Free-agent running back Orleans Darkwa (leg) announced on his Twitter account Friday that he has been cleared to resume football activities as he searches for a job ahead of training camp. Darkwa led the Giants in 2017 with 171 carries for 751 yards (career-high 4.4 yards per carry) and five touchdowns, but he hasn't generated any interest on the open market, likely because of his injury. If he can prove healthy, he could join a running-back needy club during training camp. Until then, he can be ignored in early fantasy drafts.
