"Then, there's Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The seventh-round rookie running back has been a revelation over the opening three games and throughout the summer. He suffered some knee soreness in Washington's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Commanders have erred on the side of caution in practice, keeping him out for the first two days to raise concerns among the team's passionate supporters."
"As expected, some big hitters were ruled out. Daniels, McLaurin, Brown, and Bates will not be featured. Croskey-Merritt, who Jeremy Fowler from ESPN stated was reportedly kept out due to precautionary measures, got a much better prognosis from head coach Dan Quinn. Quinn revealed that Croskey-Merritt practiced on Friday. All signs point to him participating with no limitations, but the Commanders were right not to put too much on his plate leading into the contest."
Washington entered Week 4 with multiple injury concerns after limited practice participation from several starters. Noah Brown, Terry McLaurin, and blocking tight end John Bates did not practice, and quarterback Jayden Daniels remained limited following a knee sprain suffered in Week 2. Rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt missed early practices with knee soreness after the Las Vegas game and was held out initially as a precaution. The offensive plan will rely on the running back committee in Atlanta. Croskey-Merritt practiced on Friday and appears likely to play without limitations for the Week 4 game.
