Commanders are hoping Jacory Croskey-Merritt can run all over the Cowboys

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt finished Sunday’s 24-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with 16 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown, a solid performance...
SEPTEMBER 16 • Associated Press
Gets into end zone in Week 1 win Croskey-Merritt rushed 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for a seven-yard loss in a loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact Croskey-Merritt scored Washington's only touchdown of the first half when he plunged into the end zone for a one-yard score late in the second quarter. However, he averaged just 3.9 yards per carry and also lost a fumble, though the Commanders were able to recover. Croskey-Merritt served as Washington's clear No. 1 back, with Rachaad White (seven carries for 22 yards) and Kaytron Allen (four carries for 16 yards) working behind him. The Commanders will take on Dallas in a Week 2 clash next Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 13 • THEBIGLEAD.COM
No designation for Week 1 Croskey-Merritt (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.
Impact Croskey-Merritt had his practice reps restricted during the entirety of Week 1 prep due to a lower-body injury that stems back to an Aug. 22 practice. Despite those listed limitations, he'll be available to the Commanders backfield this weekend, likely in some sort of timeshare with Rachaad White.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Will play Sunday Croskey-Merritt (groin) will play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Tashan Reed reports after Commanders coach Dan Quinn's update Friday.
Impact Croskey-Merritt was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but will apparently be fine for the season opener. He's got a tough matchup on the road in Philadelphia, and he'll will be sharing snaps with Rachaad White in some fashion, regardless of health/durability considerations.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Remains limited in practice Croskey-Merritt (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Impact Croskey-Merritt has been tending to a lower-body injury since picking it up during an Aug. 22 practice. He's been back on the field since Sept. 1 but hasn't been able to do enough yet to be considered a full participant. Friday's practice report may provide a sense of Croskey-Merritt's odds to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener at Philadelphia.

Limited practice Wednesday Croskey-Merritt practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Impact Croskey-Merritt initially suffered an undisclosed injury in an Aug. 22 practice that coach Dan Quinn clarified as to the running back's lower body not long after. While the running back was able to return to the practice field Sept. 1, Croskey-Merritt's activity level wasn't known until this week. He still has some work to do ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup at Philadelphia, while fellow RB Rachaad White (hamstring) avoided the Commanders' injury report entirely Wednesday.

Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt is no longer playing with house money The expectations are higher.
SEPTEMBER 9 • RIGGOSRAG.COM
Back at practice Tuesday Croskey-Merritt (lower body) is dressed for Tuesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Impact This is a big positive for Croskey-Merritt, who had been working through a lower-body issue late in the preseason. He is now trending in the right direction for Week 1, but official injury reports the week of the game will give final confirmation. If healthy, Croskey-Merritt is in line for a prominent role yet again in the Washington backfield.
SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Set to practice next week Croskey-Merritt (lower body) is expected to return to practice next week, John Keim of ESPN reports.
Impact Croskey-Merritt was forced to miss the Commanders' final two preseason games due to a lower-body injury, and he will not participate at practice Monday. His participation level once he gets back on the field should offer more clarity on his readiness for the regular-season opener Sept. 13 against the Eagles. In the meantime, Kaytron Allen is the Commanders' top healthy option in the backfield with Rachaad White (hamstring) also banged up at practice.
AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting out Friday's preseason game Croskey-Merritt (lower body) won't suit up for Friday's preseason game at Baltimore.
Impact Last Thursday, Croskey-Merritt pulled up at the end of a catch and run in practice due to a lower-body injury, which now will keep him out of the Commanders' final two exhibitions. He focused on rehab work on the side this week, with the intent to return to practice at some point next week. Rachaad White (hamstring) and Jeremy McNichols (quadriceps) also aren't in uniform Friday, meaning rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen, Robert Henry and Craig Reynolds are the team's available RBs for preseason Week 3.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Slated to work on side field this week Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Croskey-Merritt (lower body) will work on the side with the Commanders' training staff this week, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C., Croskey-Merritt pulled up at the end of a catch and run at Thursday's practice, which kept him sidelined for Saturday's preseason game in Detroit. Quinn relayed to Keim that Croskey-Merritt is tending to a lower-body injury and likely will return to practice next week. Meanwhile, fellow RB Rachaad White (hamstring) will be back on the practice field Monday as a limited participant.
AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE
Will sit Saturday Croskey-Merritt won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions, John Keim of ESPN reports.
Impact Keim noted that Croskey-Merritt came up "a little gimpy" after a play during Thursday's training camp practice. It doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, but the Commanders will take the cautious route by sidelining the 2025 seventh-rounder for Saturday's exhibition game. Croskey-Merritt will end up not playing in each of the Commanders' first two preseason games, and his last opportunity to suit up before the regular season is this Friday against the Ravens.
AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Friday Croskey-Merritt isn't in line to suit up for Friday's preseason game versus the Dolphins.
Impact Croskey-Merritt will be joined on the sideline by fellow RBs Rachaad White and Jeremy McNichols (quadriceps), leaving 2026 sixth-round pick Kaytron Allen, offseason pickup Jerome Ford and undrafted rookie Robert Henry to man the backfield in the Commanders' exhibition opener. As a seventh-round rookie last season, Croskey-Merritt was a rare bright spot in the offense, turning 175 carries into 805 yards and eight touchdowns and gathering in nine of 13 targets for 68 yards. Considering White has averaged 223.8 touches per 17 games in his four-year career, he poises a legitimate threat to Croskey-Merritt's workload in the upcoming campaign.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
Improving in the passing game Croskey-Merritt made it a point over the offseason to improve his ability in the passing game, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Impact "They just want to be able to do more," Croskey-Merritt said. "The more you can do, the better." The second-year running back has been given more opportunities to catch the ball in practice, and coach Dan Quinn said he's been "digging into him a bunch" to improve that area of his game. Croskey-Merritt has added eight pounds of muscle this offseason and is expected to operate as the team's lead back on early downs ahead of newcomer Rachaad White. If he can provide more in the passing game, it would go a long way to raising Croskey-Merritt's fantasy floor.
