Rachaad White - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reaches end zone in victory White rushed eight times for 35 yards and caught his only target for a six-yard touchdown during Sunday's 33-31 win over Seattle.

Impact White was far more productive over his eight carries (4.4 YPC) than starting running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt was on his 19 rushes for 36 yards (1.9 YPC). White's most notable moment of the game came as a pass-catcher though, securing a six-yard touchdown on a pass from Marcus Mariota in the first quarter. Through three games so far in the regular season, White has compiled 100 rushing yards on 22 carries while catching all nine of his targets for 51 yards and a score.
