Jacory Croskey-Merritt - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes off for two scores Sunday Croskey-Merritt rushed 14 times for 111 yards, two touchdowns and a fumble lost while catching both of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

Impact Croskey-Merritt finally broke out of the backfield committee that was holding him back in fantasy with a dominating two-touchdown performance against the Chargers. The seventh-round rookie commanded 14 of Washington's 20 running back carries Sunday, eclipsing a personal high of 10 set back in his initial breakout game in Week 1. One would assume that the 150-yard, multi-score showing should cement the starting job for the Arizona product moving forward. A preseason darling heading into drafts, Croskey-Merritt's managers can officially fire up the hype train heading into a soft matchup against the Bears next Monday.

Remains stuck in committee Croskey-Merritt carried the ball seven times for 47 yards and caught both his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

Impact The rookie running back led the Commanders' backfield in touches on the day with nine, but Chris Rodriguez paced the team in rushing yards, turning seven totes into 59 yards, while Deebo Samuel got three carries in addition to his receiving work and Jeremy McNichols also chipped in with three touches. The overall effectiveness of the arrangement -- 6.7 yards per carry for Washington's backfield as a whole -- was impressive once again, but none of the team's RBs will be reliable fantasy plays without a consistent path to more volume. Croskey-Merritt will try to make an impact with what touches he gets in Week 5 against the Chargers.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Good to go for Week 4 Croskey-Merritt (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact The knee issue kept Croskey-Merritt from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, but he took a questionable tag into the weekend after logging a full session Friday. With Croskey-Merritt apparently bouncing back well following Friday's practice, he'll be available Sunday as part of a backfield committee with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez, though quarterback Marcus Mariota and wide receiver Deebo Samuel could also factor into Washington's game plan on the ground. After Austin Ekeler (Achilles) suffered a season-ending injury in the Week 2 loss to the Packers, Croskey-Merritt played a season-high 40 percent of snaps in the Week 3 win over the Raiders, finishing with 26 yards and a touchdown on eight carries to go with a five-yard reception.

Slated to suit up in Week 4 Croskey-Merritt (knee) is in line to play Sunday in Atlanta, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Croskey was held out of all drills Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury, and despite his return to all activity Friday, the Commanders tagged him as questionable for Week 4 action. Assuming he avoids the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll resume his backfield committee work with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez in the wake of Austin Ekeler's season-ending torn Achilles from Week 2.

Questionable after full practice Croskey-Merritt (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta after returning to full practice Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Following the upgrade to full participation, Croskey-Merritt's absences Wednesday and Thursday don't appear too concerning. Commanders coach Dan Quinn even said that the rookie looked good during Friday's practice, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Fantasy managers may still want to keep an eye on the situation, but it appears Croskey-Merritt will be ready for his committee role this Sunday, likely splitting backfield snaps with Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols again. The Commanders may need a lot from the group, as they're missing QB Jayden Daniels (knee), WR Terry McLaurin (quad), WR Noah Brown (groin) and TE John Bates (groin).

Commanders stars Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin out against the Falcons with injuries

The Washington Commanders will face the Atlanta Falcons without quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • Associated Press

At practice Friday Croskey-Merritt (knee) was present for Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Croskey-Merritt was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practices, so his presence at Friday's session is a step in the right direction. Either way, the Commanders' upcoming injury report will reveal both the running back's participation level, as well as his game status for Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons.

Still not practicing Croskey-Merritt (knee) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Croskey-Merritt made a surprise appearance on Wednesday's practice report as a DNP due to a knee issue. Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reported Wednesday evening that the rookie's injury isn't considered to be a serious one and that he may be able to practice Thursday, but that didn't come to pass. Croskey-Merritt thus has one more opportunity Friday to prove his health ahead of the weekend, at which point the team seems likely to give him some sort of designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez are on hand in the event Croskey-Merritt is limited or even sidelined Week 4.

Inside the locker room | RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt addressed the media on Sept. 24.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • COMMANDERS.COM

Knee issue not considered serious Croskey-Merritt's knee injury that kept him from practicing Wednesday is not considered serious, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Jhabvala notes that it wouldn't be a surprise if Croskey-Merritt practices Thursday after logging a DNP on Wednesday. The rookie running back had a strong Week 1 performance, rushing 10 times for 82 yards and one touchdown, but he's turned 12 carries into just 43 rushing yards (3.6 yards per carry) in the two games since, though Croskey-Merritt did save his Week 3 fantasy players with a late touchdown. Despite Austin Ekeler's season-ending Achilles tear in Week 2, this Washington backfield remains a three-man conundrum that makes it difficult to trust any for fantasy lineups.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No practice due to knee injury Croskey-Merritt didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

Impact In the first game without Austin Ekeler (Achilles) this past Sunday against the Raiders, Croskey-Merritt led the Commanders backfield in offensive snaps (23 of 58), followed by Chris Rodriguez (ss) and Jeremy McNichols (15). Croskey-Merritt wasn't all that efficient with his touches (nine for 31 yards from scrimmage), but he salvaged his day with a rushing touchdown. Meanwhile, Rodriguez paced the team in carries (11) for 39 yards, and McNichols had four rushes for 78 yards and a TD. It's unclear if Croskey-Merrritt's status is in peril for Sunday's game in Atlanta, but his activity level, or lack thereof, bears watching as the week continues to get a sense of his odds to suit up Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone against Vegas Croskey-Merritt carried the ball eight times for 26 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.

Impact The Commanders rolled with a committee in the wake of Austin Ekeler (Achilles) being lost for the season, and Croskey-Merritt scored one of the team's three rushing TDs on the afternoon, with QB Marcus Mariota and Jeremy McNichols getting the others. McNichols' 60-yard touchdown stole the show, but Chris Rodriguez led the backfield with 11 carries, and JCM made his impact with a one-yard plunge in the third quarter. The rookie has 125 rushing yards and two TDs on an impressive 5.7 yards per carry through his first three NFL games, but given the offense's success in this one, he seems unlikely to get a big increase in volume in Week 4 against the Falcons.
