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 Green Bay Packers outscored the Washington Commanders 27-18 on “Thursday Night Football” at Lambeau Field. The Packers dominated most of the game, led by TE Tucker Kraft ’s career night of six receptions and a touchdown for 124 yards.

It fizzled almost as quickly as it started. After one hard-earned first down, the drive stalled when Jayden Daniels was sacked for a 10-yard loss on third down, Micah Parsons and Edgerrin Cooper combining to dump Washington's talented signal caller to the ground. On trotted Matt Gay, who missed his second field goal attempt in as many possessions.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels voiced his frustration after the team lost to the Green Bay Packers.

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.
