Gary Russell

LV Running Back
Gary Russell is expected to take over as the Raiders’ starting fullback.

Russell was always big and slow for a tailback, so the move makes sense. Coach Tom Cable praised his “explosiveness” as both a blocker and a receiver after Sunday’s performance against the Eagles.

LV Running Back
Raiders re-signed RB Gary Russell.

Russell, 23, can play fullback, tailback, and special teams. He’ll step in as the club’s third-string runner until Darren McFadden (knee) gets back.

Gary Russell

LV Running Back
Filling in at fullback for the first time Sunday, Gary Russell caught five passes for 55 yards.

The backup fullback/running back won’t have fantasy value, but it’s worth noting that JaMarcus Russell showed tremendous improvement on flat passes and screens this week.

LV Running Back
Free agent RB Gary Russell is scheduled to visit with the Rams.

Russell has short-yardage ability, picks up the blitz well, and can lead block in a pinch, but does little in the passing game and can’t turn the corner. He’d give St. Louis another lackluster alternative behind Steven Jackson.

Free agent RB Gary Russell will visit with the Bills later today.

He’s nothing special. Russell visited with the Rams earlier this month and left without a contract. Xavier Omon is Fred Jackson’s primary backup until Marshawn Lynch’s suspension is over.

Nick Miller

FA Wide Receiver #16
Raiders KR Nick Miller (cracked tibia) has been ruled out for Week 13 and is still spending time in a walking boot.

It doesn’t sound like the rookie’s NFL debut will be anytime soon. Gary Russell is expected to be the primary kick returner once again.

Raiders signed RB Gary Russell.

Russell will be behind Justin Fargas, Darren McFadden, and Michael Bush and is a long shot to make the final roster. He could handle short-yardage duties if needed in the event of an injury to one of the other backs.

Carey Davis

WAS Running Back
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Carey Davis will likely make the team.

The paper also thinks that Gary Russell is a lock, leaving Dan Kreider, Verron Haynes, Kevan Barlow and John Kuhn to compete for one or possibly two spots. Davis and Russell are worth monitoring in dynasty leagues.

Willie Parker

PIT Running Back
Despite the bye week, the Steelers practiced on Tuesday, but Willie Parker and other veterans were not full participants.

All indications are the Steelers are using this week to get some of their bench and young players some work. RB Gary Russell took the bulk of carries in practice, so Najeh Davenport was likely rested as well.
