Does the NFL subtract negative rushing yards from a running backs rushing yards?

Yes, in the NFL, negative rushing yards are subtracted from a running back's total rushing yards. If a running back loses yards on a carry, those negative yards are counted against their overall rushing total for that game and season. This means that a player's rushing yards reflect both positive and negative yardage from their carries.
