Set for imaging Friday Ekeler is set to undergo an MRI on Friday, but the Commanders believe that he suffered a torn Achilles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Ekeler suffered a non-contact Achilles injury late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's loss to the Packers. If Friday's tests confirm the team's fears, Ekeler will be sidelined for the rest of the season. Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt will likely see an increased workload, with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez vying for a depth role.

Washington Commanders injury report: Latest on Jayden Daniels, Austin Ekeler, Noah Brown, and more for Week 2 The Washington Commanders will make the trip to Lambeau Field to play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Ready for Thursday's game Ekeler (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's contest against the Packers.

Impact Ekeler was listed as a limited practice participant on all three of Washington's injury reports Week 2, but it appears the veteran running back has simply been having his reps managed with a short week of rest before Thursday Night Football. He rushed six times for 26 yards and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards during the Commanders' 21-6 win over the Giants in Week 1 and looks primed to again contribute primarily on passing downs versus Green Bay, while rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and quarterback Jayden Daniels headline Washington's rushing attack.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled limited participant Tuesday Ekeler (shoulder) was a limited participant for Tuesday's practice.

Impact Ekeler has been listed as limited on both of Washington's first two Week 2 reports, but at this stage, head coach Dan Quinn hasn't suggested that the veteran running back is in jeopardy of sitting out Thursday's game against the Packers. Assuming he's available for the primetime matchup, Ekeler should serve as the Commanders' top back on passing downs while also complementing rookie seventh-round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt and quarterback Jayden Daniels in the ground attack.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as limited in practice Ekeler (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact The Commanders held a walk-through Monday on the heels of Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants. In that contest, Ekeler logged 33 of a possible 70 snaps on offense, while carrying six times for 26 yards and catching all three of his targets for 31 yards. Now that he's managing a shoulder issue, however, Ekeler's status should be tracked ahead of Thursday night's game against the Packers. If available, Ekeler would be in line to continue to share backfield work with Jacory Croskey-Merritt (10 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown Sunday) and Jeremy McNichols (four carries for 25 yards). Of the the trio, Ekeler was the only one to record a catch in Week 1.

Inside the locker room | RB Austin Ekeler Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler addressed the media after Washington's 21-6 win over the Giants.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • COMMANDERS.COM

Nine touches in Week 1 win Ekeler rushed six times for 26 yards and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

Impact Ekeler finished third on the team in rushing yards and third in receiving yards, working as a secondary option in the offense out of the backfield. Rookie seventh-round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt led the rushing attack with 10 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown while Jeremy McNichols mixed in for 25 yards on four carries, but neither of those running backs had a catch Sunday. Ekeler's likely to play primarily in passing situations, and that role could yield greater dividends in games that require Washington to play catch-up, which may be the case on the road in Week 2 against the Packers on Thursday.
