JAMISON CROWDER NEWS

Handles depth role and returns Crowder finished the 2024 regular season with nine catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns in six games, adding three catches for 29 yards in three playoff appearances.

Impact Crowder's primary role was on punt returns, but he also scored two TDs in a Week 16 win over Philadelphia, including the game-winner in the final seconds. He missed 11 straight games with a calf injury from late September to mid-December, and he never went higher than 46 percent snap share on offense. Crowder will turn 32 in June and isn't under contract for 2025.

Clear for Saturday Crowder (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game in Detroit.

Impact After not practicing Tuesday due to a hamstring issue, Crowder managed a pair of limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, which was enough activity for him to be available for Saturday's matchup. Since the Commanders' Week 14 bye, he's compiled an 8-67-2 line on 12 targets over the last five contests, including playoffs.

Limited in Wednesday's practice Crowder was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Impact On Washington's initial divisional-round injury report released Tuesday, Crowder was listed as a non-participant in practice due to both the hamstring issue and rest, but only the hamstring issue appears next to his name on Wednesday's report. Crowder is likely just getting some extra maintenance ahead of Saturday's game against the Lions, as Commanders head coach Dan Quinn hasn't suggested that the veteran wideout's status for the contest is in any jeopardy. In the Commanders' wild-card win over the Buccaneers this past Sunday, Crowder started but played just 11 of the team's 73 offensive snaps and finished without a target.

Active versus Tampa Bay Crowder (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday night's wild-card round game against the Buccaneers.

Impact After being limited at practice this past week, Crowder headed into the Commanders' postseason opener listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, Crowder will bolster the team's depth at wideout, as well provide a punt return option. However, apart from a 2/15/2 receiving line in Week 16 versus Philadelphia, Crowder's fantasy impact has been modest. Overall, the 31-year-old has recorded nine catches for 72 yards and two TDs on 13 targets in six games.

Listed as questionable Crowder (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Crowder was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after playing 20 snaps without drawing a target in the 23-19 win over Dallas in Week 18. He'll likely work as Washington's fourth or fifth WR if he ends up playing, as he's been stuck behind Terry McLaurin, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown. The bigger concern for Washington might be punt returns -- a job Zaccheaus handled for much of the season until Crowder returned from injured reserve for the last three games.

Another limited practice Crowder (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact Crowder has kicked off preparation for the wild-card round with back-to-back capped practices due to a groin injury, leaving him just one more chance to get back to full participation Friday or else risk entering the weekend with a designation ahead Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Since returning from injured reserve Week 15 at New Orleans, he's had a modest role in the Commanders offense, putting together an 8-67-2 line on 12 targets over the last four contests.

Limited with groin injury Crowder (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Crowder played just 20 offensive snaps during Washington's win over the Cowboys in Week 18, his lowest total since retaking the field Week 15. It appears a groin injury may have had something to do with his lowered involvement. The veteran wideout totaled eight targets in his first three games back from injury, and he'll stand to handle a depth role on offense if cleared to play in Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Buccaneers.

Held without a target Week 18 Crowder played 20 snaps without getting a target in Sunday's 23-19 win at Dallas.

Impact Crowder had multiple catches in each of his previous three games since returning from a lengthy stint on injured reserve. He'll continue in his part-time role during the playoffs, with punt returns potentially being his main contribution. He muffed a punt in the Week 18 victory, but it wasn't really his fault, as fellow wide receiver Luke McCaffrey ran into Crowder while he was trying to catch the ball.

Targeted five times against Falcons Crowder caught three of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Falcons.

Impact Crowder's five targets were a season-high for the veteran wideout, yet he was unable to get much going with his increased opportunities. The 31-year-old plays a minimal role in Washington's offense, keeping him off the fantasy radar as the Commanders host the Cowboys in Week 18.

Finds end zone twice in upset Crowder caught two of four targets for 15 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-33 win over the Eagles.

Impact The 31-year-old wideout came into the game as a little-used depth option who had just a 4-32-0 line on four targets in three 2024 appearances, but after catching a six-yard TD strike from Jayden Daniels in the first quarter for the Commanders' first points, Crowder played hero by grabbing their last score as well -- a nine-yard toss from Daniels with just six seconds left in the fourth quarter. Crowder has seen his role grow the last two weeks, and it could increase further in Week 17 against the Falcons after Dyami Brown (hamstring) exited Sunday's win.

Three catches in return Crowder (calf) played 21 of the Commanders' 78 snaps on offense and recorded three receptions for 27 yards on three targets in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Saints.

Impact Crowder made his return from injured reserve in Week 15, after he had missed the Commanders' previous 10 games with a calf injury. Prior to getting hurt, Crowder didn't have much of a role on offense over Washington's first two games of the season, but the loss of Noah Brown (kidney) opened up some opportunities in the slot for the veteran. Crowder still finished fourth among Commanders receivers in snaps, and he could drop down another spot in the pecking order once waiver pickup K.J. Osborn gets up to speed with the offense.

Active Sunday Crowder (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

Impact The wide receiver and punt returner was activated from injured reserve Saturday. Crowder has missed every game since Week 3 due to the injury. He likely will serve as Washington's punt returner Sunday.

Activated ahead of Sunday's game Crowder (calf) has been activated Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Crowder hasn't played since Week due to a calf injury, but he's finally able to return to the gridiron. The 31-year-old wideout will likely serve as the Commanders' top punt returner in his return to action.

Could return in Week 15 Crowder (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Impact Crowder has missed the Commanders' last 10 games due to a calf injury, but after practicing in full throughout the week, he appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's contest. However, the 31-year-old wide receiver has yet to be added back to the active roster, a move that must still occur for him to suit up Sunday. If activated in time, Crowder will likely serve as the Commanders' top punt returner while also contributing as a slot receiver.

Practices in full Crowder (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Crowder was placed on injured reserve in early October and has missed the Commanders' last 10 games due to a calf injury. However, he was designated to return Monday and has already practiced in full, suggesting he's nearly recovered from the issue. Despite Wednesday's full session, the veteran wideout must still be added to Washington's active roster in order to play in Week 15, when the Commanders travel to New Orleans.

Takes next step Crowder (calf) was designated to return from IR on Monday.

Impact Crowder hasn't played since Week 3 due to his calf issue, but he may finally be nearing a return. He'll now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be placed on the 53-man roster. Once healthy though, the veteran wideout won't likely have much of a role in the Commanders' offense and only played 12 offensive snaps in the two games he did suit up for.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not on track to play Thursday Crowder (calf) has not been designated to return from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game at Philadelphia, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Crowder has spent the Commanders' last seven games on the sidelines due to a lingering calf issue, and it looks like he'll be sitting out in Week 11 too. In that case, his next chance to play would come in Week 12 versus the Cowboys.
