Jacory Croskey-Merritt — Injured Reserve

Croskey-Merritt had already been ruled out for Monday's game against the 49ers, but his move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least an additional three contests beyond that. With Croskey-Merritt sidelined through Week 10, Rachaad White looks on track to serve as the Commanders' top option out of the backfield in the interim, while Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols are on hand in complementary roles.

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt out vs. 49ers with groin injury

Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt won't play against the 49ers because of a groin injury, coach Dan Quinn said.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt — Out

Croskey-Merritt was unable to practice all week due to a groin injury, and he's now been officially ruled out for Monday night's game. The statuses of Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) will be known once the Commanders announce their injury designations on Saturday's practice report. Washington is on a bye for Week 7, so Croskey-Merritt will have more time to recover from his injury before the Commanders' Week 8 tilt against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Croskey-Merritt will end up missing all three Week 6 practices while recovering from a groin injury, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him ruled out by the Commanders once the team submits its injury designations following Saturday's session. Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) are also both working through injuries, so the Commanders may have to dip into their practice squad and elevate one or both of Craig Reynolds or Devin Neal for Monday night's contest.

Croskey-Merritt has yet to practice this week due to a groin injury that also impacted his on-field work last week. He was able to suit up last Sunday versus the Giants, handling a 36 percent snap share and accounting for 82 yards and one touchdown on his 11 carries. Saturday's session likely will be key for Croskey-Merritt's odds to suit up Monday at San Francisco, but if he's inhibited or sidelined for Week 6, Rachaad White (shoulder, LP on Friday) and Austin Ekeler (chest, LP) would be the primary candidates to man the Commanders backfield.

After sitting out Thursday's practice due to the groin issue, Croskey-Merritt isn't looking great for Monday's matchup with the 49ers. An absence would put Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler in larger roles, with RB Craig Reynolds also a candidate to take some snaps if he's called up from the practice squad.

Croskey-Merritt logged two limited practices during Week 5 prep due to a groin issue and still suited up this past Sunday against the Giants, turning his 11 carries into 82 yards and one touchdown. As a result, his absence Thursday could be more for maintenance than anything, but his status nonetheless will be watched closely in advance of Monday's game at San Francisco.

Croskey-Merritt has been listed on the injury report at various points this season due to a groin issue, but he's still mustered 67 carries and five catches (on seven targets) for 279 yards from scrimmage and two rushing touchdowns in five appearances. The Commanders are kicking off Week 6 prep Thursday in advance of a Monday game at San Francisco, but the reason for Croskey-Merritt's potential absence isn't yet known.

Croskey-Merritt had a 33-yard touchdown run on his first carry just two minutes into the game and ultimately set a new season high in rushing yards despite tying for his fewest touches of the season with just 11. Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler combined for 10 carries and two targets, while Jayden Daniels led Washington's ground game with 103 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on nine attempts. Given Croskey-Merritt's lack of involvement in the passing game, he may not get many opportunities if the Commanders fall behind as expected when they visit the undefeated 49ers in Week 6.

Croskey-Merritt followed up back-to-back limited sessions to kick off Week 5 prep with a full practice Friday, and his lack of injury tag indicates he's good to play through his groin injury. Meanwhile, Rachaad White (shoulder) also has been cleared to return after sitting out Week 4, so Croskey-Merritt will have a bit more competition for backfield reps. Austin Ekeler also is on hand for any touches that linger.

Croskey-Merritt maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he tends to a groin injury. Friday's practice report may provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's contest against the Giants. Through four games this season, Croskey-Merritt boasts 197 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 61 touches.

The Commanders have a lengthy injury report Wednesday, including their starting running back. Croskey-Merritt is dealing with a groin injury as the Commanders prepare to host the Giants, but he was at least able to get some work in. Fellow running back Rachaad White (shoulder) also logged a limited session.

The Commanders' running game struggled to get anything going against an Indy front seven led by DeForest Buckner, especially once Marcus Mariota (knee) was replaced under center by seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis, but Croskey-Merritt was able to salvage his production to some extent with a 35-yard catch and run on a screen pass in the first quarter that helped set up a field goal. His 11 touches led the Washington backfield, while Austin Ekeler saw five in his season debut and rookie Kaytron Allen got three, but that division of labor came with Rachaad White (shoulder) on the shelf. Croskey-Merritt's ability to improve on his numbers could depend on whether Jayden Daniels (elbow) can return at quarterback for Washington in a Week 5 home game against the Giants.

Croskey-Merritt has logged 47 carries through three regular-season games, though he's turned that into only 142 yards (3.0 YPC) and a touchdown while playing less than 50 percent of the Commanders' offensive snaps in two different contests. White has mostly operated as the change-of-pace, pass-catching RB for Washington this season, so Croskey-Merritt figures to see an expanded role Sunday while the former is sidelined. Rookie Kaytron Allen and recently-signed Austin Ekeler also are in the mix for backfield work this weekend in London.

The second-year back couldn't get much going against the defending Super Bowl champs, with his longest run going for just nine yards, but the 20 touches did represent a season high in volume. Croskey-Merritt remains the top early-down option in the Commanders' backfield, and through three games he's gained 142 rushing yards and a TD on 47 carries. He could find more running room in a Week 4 home tilt against the Colts.
