  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Minimally involved Monday night

    McNichols accrued five rushes for 13 yards during Monday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers.

    With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) sidelined, the Commanders turned to Rachaad White to do most of the heavy lifting at the running back position. McNichols, who was activated from injured reserve ahead of the Week 6 meeting with the 49ers after missing the first five games of the 2026 campaign, logged 12 offensive snaps, five more than Austin Ekeler (seven). However, neither McNichols nor Ekeler got anything going, with both players combining for six carries. With Croskey-Merritt now on injured reserve, there is room for others to step up, though it's likely White will remain the workhorse, with Ekeler and McNichols getting the leftover scraps.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Activated from IR

    McNichols (quadriceps) was activated from injured reserve by the Commanders on Monday.

    McNichols is officially active for Monday night's matchup with San Francisco, returning to action after missing the team's first five games of the regular season while recovering from a quad injury. The running back logged three consecutive full practices to end the week, so he should be back to full health. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (foot) sidelined in Week 6, McNichols will have a chance to carve out a significant role in the backfield while splitting touches with Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler versus the 49ers.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Deemed questionable for MNF

    McNichols (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday night's game against the 49ers.

    McNichols was a full practice participant this week but remains on injured reserve, though the Commanders could still choose to activate him ahead of Monday night's contest. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (foot) out, the Commanders could use McNichols as depth alongside Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Another full practice

    McNichols (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

    McNichols has opened Week 6 prep with back-to-back full practices, which indicates that the veteran running back is in the final stages of his recovery from a quad injury that caused him to open the regular season on injured reserve. He would need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible to play against the 49ers on Monday. McNichols' return could be a crucial one for the Commanders, whose backfield is dealing with injuries to Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest).

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Ruled out for Week 5

    McNichols (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    McNichols remains on injured reserve, so his next chance to suit up will be Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday night. The Commanders will continue to roll with Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Austin Ekelers and special-teamer Craig Reynolds out of the backfield.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Questionable for Sunday

    McNichols (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    The Commanders opened McNichols' 21-day practice window to return from IR on Wednesday. The running back logged limited practice throughout Week 5 prep and remains questionable for Sunday's game. The team still has over two weeks to ramp up the 30-year-old's practice participation before it must make a decision about his status for the remainder of the 2026 season.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Logs another limited practice Thursday

    McNichols (quadriceps) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

    The Commanders opened McNichols' 21-day practice window to be activated from IR Wednesday, but it's still up in the air whether that activation will happen ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. He'll likely at least have to manage a full practice before returning to game action, and Friday will be his last chance to do that for Week 5.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Cleared to return to practice

    McNichols (quadriceps) had his 21-day practice window opened prior to Wednesday's session, during which he was a limited participant.

    McNichols injured his quad during training camp in mid-August, and the injury was severe enough for the veteran running back to open the regular season on injured reserve. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, though he'll likely need to log multiple full sessions before being the green light to be activated from IR. The Commanders currently have four running backs on the 53-man roster, which consists of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Rachaad White (shoulder), Austin Ekeler and rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Opening season on IR

    The Commanders placed McNichols (quadriceps) on injured reserve with a designation to return Sunday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

    As a result of the transaction, McNichols won't be eligible to make his 2026 debut until at least Week 5 while he recovers from the quad injury, which he sustained earlier this month. Once activated, McNichols could have a role on special teams for the Commanders, but he'll likely be in line for limited snaps on offense if all of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (lower body), Rachaad White (hamstring) and Kaytron Allen are healthy and available out of the backfield.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Not playing Saturday

    McNichols (quadriceps) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit.

    McNichols is nursing a quad injury that he sustained during training camp practice last week, which will sideline him for each of the Commanders' first two preseason games. With McNichols, Rachaad White (hamstring) and Jacory Croskey-Merritt (undisclosed) sidelined, the Commanders backfield will be led by rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen, with Robert Henry and Craig Reynolds also in the mix for reps.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Nursing quad issue

    McNichols (quadriceps) did not participate at the Commanders' training camp practice Wednesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Per Standig, McNichols is day-to-day, so it seems like the injury isn't anything severe. While the veteran is sidelined, Jerome Ford and rookie undrafted free agent Robert Henry could get more looks out of Washington's backfield.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Re-ups on one-year deal

    The Commanders re-signed McNichols to a one-year deal on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    McNichols played a key role on special teams while also handling a change-of-pace role for Washington last season, rushing 44 times for 221 yards and a score in addition to securing 25 of 31 targets for 196 yards across 17 regular-season appearances. He projects more realistically for a pure depth role in 2026, however, after the Commanders brought in a pair of capable pass catches in the form of Rachaad White and Jerome Ford (shoulder) to contribute alongside returning ballcarrier Jacory Croskey-Merritt.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Career year in 2025

    McNichols rushed 44 times for 221 yards and a touchdown while catching 25 of 31 targets for 196 yards across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    With Austin Ekeler (Achilles) sustaining a season-ending injury early into the Commanders' 2025 campaign, McNichols was thrust into the role of the team's primary pass-catching running back. The Boise State product performed well, recording a career-high 417 total yards while averaging 6.0 yards per touch. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, McNichols could draw interest from teams seeking a third-down back ahead of the 2026 season.
