Rachaad White - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Steps up late as team's top RB White rushed 11 times for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

Impact Most of White's production came in a three-play span on Washington's final possession, as he ripped off a 33-yard run down to the four-yard line, followed by a three-yard gain and a one-yard touchdown run to put the game out of reach. The Commanders have divided up backfield duties while Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is on IR, as Austin Ekeler notched eight carries, while Jeremy McNichols (foot) had five carries and one catch prior to exiting in the second half. White continues to have the highest touch floor among Washington's available running backs heading into Week 9 against the Rams, and he has scored in three of the last four games, with the previous two touchdowns both coming on receptions.

Receiving TD with expanded role White rushed seven times for 27 yards and brought in four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

Impact With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (IR, groin) unavailable, White worked as the de facto lead back despite Jeremy McNichols making his season debut. The ground attack took a back seat when the Commanders fell behind by a 20-3 margin going into intermission, but White was able to make an impact as a receiver. White posted his second receiving touchdown as a member of the Commanders as well, recording a nine-yard scoring grab in the fourth quarter for the final points of the night. With Croskey-Merritt out for at least three additional games, White could continue to see fairly solid volume in a Week 8 home matchup against the Eagles on Sunday night, Nov. 1, following a Week 7 bye.

Clear for Week 6 White (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game at San Francisco.

Impact Despite ending Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited practices due to a shoulder injury, White will be available to the Commanders backfield Monday along with Austin Ekeler (chest). With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) ruled out, White and Ekeler are the candidates to lead Washington's backfield this week. On the season, White had 39 touches for 171 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD in four appearances.

Limited by shoulder issue White practiced in a limited capacity Friday due to a shoulder injury.

Impact White's downgrade from Thursday's full listing may be due to maintenance of the shoulder issue that sidelined him Week 4 against the Colts, but his status now bears monitoring to get a sense of his chances to play Monday at San Francisco, especially with Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) not practicing this week. In the event Croskey-Merritt is inhibited or out in Week 6, White and Austin Ekeler (chest, LP on Friday) would be the beneficiaries in the Commanders backfield.

Seven touches in return White (shoulder) rushed seven times for 18 yards while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants.

Impact White recorded 20 scrimmage yards on seven touches in his return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Jacory Croskey-Merritt led Washington's running backs with 11 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown, while White and Austin Ekeler each drew one target out of the backfield. Ekeler's return to Washington could prove problematic for White, as the two veteran running backs could split passing-down work while Croskey-Merritt continues to get most of the carries. White could benefit from a more pass-heavy game script if the Commanders fall behind against the 5-0 49ers in Week 6.

OCTOBER 11 • Associated Press

Officially cleared for Week 5 White (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact A shoulder injury prevented White from playing against the Colts in Week 4, but the fifth-year running back has been cleared to return for Week 5 after logging three consecutive limited practices. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) has also been cleared to play Sunday, so White and Austin Ekeler both figure to operate in rotational roles out of the backfield.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Week 5 Head coach Dan Quinn said Friday that White (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Giants, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact After missing last Sunday's game with the shoulder issue, White now appears set to return to Washington's backfield as the pass-catching complement to Jacory Croskey-Merritt. White's return will likely mute Austin Ekeler's role, though this could turn into a three-man backfield, leaving none of the trio as enticing fantasy options. White has produced 151 yards on 31 touches this season.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice White (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact White was sidelined all of last week before missing this past Sunday's game versus the Colts in London while dealing with a shoulder injury. He maintained his activity level from Wednesday, as did fellow RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin). With the Commanders waiving rookie Kaytron Allen on Thursday, the team currently has just Croskey-Merritt, White and Austin Ekeler at the position on the active roster.

Returns in limited fashion Wednesday White (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact After missing Week 4 with a shoulder injury, White is trending in the right direction. He wasn't a full-go Wednesday but was able to practice in a limited fashion. His status becomes all the more important now that Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) was limited to begin the week.

In line to practice this week Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that White (shoulder) "should" practice this week, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact White sat out the entirety of Week 4 prep before being ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Colts in London as he deals with a shoulder injury. The Commanders resume practicing Wednesday, after which his activity level, if any, will become known. In three contests this season, White has 31 touches for 151 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD.

Sits out another practice White (shoulder) did not participate in Friday's practice session.

Impact White's shoulder injury prevented him from taking part in Washington's first two practices of the week, and per head coach Dan Quinn it also prevented him from getting any reps Friday.

Remains sidelined Thursday White (shoulder) isn't practicing again Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact White is sitting out a second consecutive practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts in London, which will kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET. If White is unable to suit up, the recently signed Austin Ekeler could slot in for passing-down work in a Commanders backfield that also includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Kaytron Allen.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out practice Wednesday Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that White (shoulder) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact After hurting his shoulder in Sunday's win over Seattle but returning to the game, White now looks set to open the week as a non-participant. His practice status bears watching as Washington sorts out its backfield workload behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt.
