Croskey-Merritt Injury Update & Backfield Battle

Commanders RB Brian Croskey-Merritt was seen at practice but sidelined—possibly nursing an injury—while the team plays it safe. He’ll get another shot at mandatory minicamp June 16-18 before training camp. A seventh-rounder in 2025, he rushed for 805 yards and 8 TDs last season and added 9 catches. Now, the backfield’s heating up: Rachaad White (1-year deal) is primed for touches, Jerome Ford (shoulder issues) and Jeremy McNichols are back, plus rookie Kaytron Allen (6th round pick).
