For the rest of Washington's running back room, Jeremy McNichols could see action in a reserve role. McNichols is familiar with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's system, as he's in the midst of his second year with the team after rushing for 261 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.

The Washington Commanders walked out of Lambeau Field with more than just a loss Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers. Running back Austin Ekeler and defensive lineman Deatrich Wise both suffered season-ending injuries, and now the team is holding its breath on quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Even though the Commanders looked lost against the Packers, Washington is still a good football team. Yes, the Commanders have the oldest roster in the NFL (28 years, 266 days) -- the oldest roster in the league since the 1997 49ers -- but there is enough talent to get Washington to one of the best seven teams in the NFC.
