Carlos Hyde – Noteworthy – Transaction
RB Carlos Hyde was traded on Friday by the Cleveland Browns to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a fifth-round draft choice in 2019.
The 6-foot, 229-pound Hyde signed with the Browns during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and was leading the team with 382 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while adding six receptions for 29 yards. The 28-year-old Hyde was selected out of Ohio State in the second round (No. 57 overall) of the 2014 draft by the San Francisco 49ers and spent his first three NFL seasons there before signing with the Browns.

Leonard Fournette – Important – Injury
RB Leonard Fournette will miss his third straight game Sunday against the Houston Texans. Fournette was ruled out of the AFC South matchup due to a hamstring injury that has limited him to parts of two games this season. He was hurt in the season opener against the New York Giants and aggravated the injury in Week 4 against the New York Jets.

T.J. Yeldon – Noteworthy – Injury
RB T.J. Yeldon was removed from the injury report on Friday. Yeldon sat out Wednesday’s practice and was limited Thursday due to ankle and foot injuries. Yeldon will make his third start in a row for the Jaguars. Although he was limited to 41 yards on eight carries in last week’s 40-7 drubbing in Dallas, Yeldon has rushed for 299 yards and a touchdown and has 25 catches for 223 yards and three scores.
