J.D. McKissic: Cut loose by Washington
The Commanders released J.D. McKissic (neck) with a failed physical designation Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.The pass-catching back nearly left for Buffalo last offseason before deciding to stick with the Commanders instead. He then saw his role scaled back to facilitate more work for Antonio Gibson on passing downs while Brian Robinson took on more carries, with McKissic later suffering a neck injury Week 8 and landing on injured reserve for the rest of the season. Once he gets healthy, the 29-year-old likely will have to settle for a smaller contract this time around and may even need to battle for a roster spot wherever he ends up signing.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Done for year
J.D. McKissic (neck) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Rapoport stated McKissic would not play the rest of the season, as the veteran's neck injury will require a multi-month rehab process. McKissic will end his year with just 22 receptions and 173 receiving yards, both figures representing career lows when he's played at least six games. The one-two tandem of Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson has mitigated the loss in terms of the Washington Commanders offense, but it leaves the backfield depth in a vulnerable state.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Out again
J.D. McKissic (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Houston, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.With McKissic missing a third straight game, Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson are the Washington Commanders' healthy running backs. Jonathan Williams (knee) is listed as questionable, but even if he plays he hasn't been getting snaps in competitive situations. McKissic hasn't practiced or played since Week 8.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Not present for practice
J.D. McKissic (neck) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday and is set to be listed as a non-participant for the second day in a row, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.McKissic hasn't taken any reps at practice since emerging from the Washington Commanders' Week 8 win over the Colts with a neck issue. He looks to be facing long odds to be ready to play Sunday in Houston, so if McKissic is sidelined for a third consecutive game, the Commanders would likely turn to Antonio Gibson to handle more passing-down work behind lead runner Brian Robinson.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Remains sidelined at practice
J.D. McKissic (neck) was a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice.Since a five-touch showing while playing 36 percent of the snaps on offense Week 8 at Indianapolis, McKissic hasn't mixed into any drills while missing two straight games. He may be trending toward a third absence in a row this weekend in Houston, and as long as McKissic is sidelined, Antonio Gibson and rookie Brian Robinson will continue to lead Washington's backfield.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Out for Monday
J.D. McKissic (neck) will not play Monday against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.This marks McKissic's second straight absence as the Washington Commanders continue to be cautious with the pass-catching specialist.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Not at practice
J.D. McKissic (neck) didn't practice Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.Head coach Ron Rivera said last week that the Washington Commanders would be cautious with McKissic while he recovers from a neck injury. He hasn't been placed on injured reserve or even officially ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, but McKissic appear likely to miss a second straight game. His absence from last week's loss to the Vikings freed up more playing time for Antonio Gibson, whose 58 percent snap share was his largest since Week 1, which came when rookie Brian Robinson was on the NFI list. Gibson managed only 47 yards on 13 touches but had enjoyed a nice stretch of performances in his limited role before that.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Sits out another practice
J.D. McKissic (neck) isn't participating in Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.Since picking up the neck injury coming out of the Washington Commanders' Week 8 win over the Colts, McKissic hasn't practiced in any fashion and has missed one game. The Commanders don't seem to have much confidence McKissic will be ready to go for their Monday night matchup with the Eagles, as offensive coordinator Scott Turner told Matthew Paras of The Washington Times on Friday that Antonio Gibson is preparing to handle McKissic's usual role as the pass-catching specialist in the Washington backfield. Before the Commanders formally rule McKissic out for the second game in a row, the team will see if the 29-year-old is able to do anything Saturday during the final practice session of the week.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: No practice reps Thursday
J.D. McKissic (neck) didn't practice Thursday.After the Washington Commanders ruled out McKissic for a Week 9 matchup with the Vikings, coach Ron Rivera said the running back was slated to visit a specialist, but new news hasn't emerged regarding the state of his neck injury. Rivera also noted the team would be cautious with McKissic, so his status bears watching in the coming days to get a sense of his availability, or lack thereof, in Week 10. If McKissic again is absent Monday in Philadelphia, Antonio Gibson and rookie Brian Robinson would split Washington's backfield reps.

Commanders' J.D. McKissic: Ruled out, visiting specialist
J.D. McKissic (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, with coach Ron Rivera noting Friday that the running back will see a specialist and the team will approach his injury with caution, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.Antonio Gibson already has taken some of the passing-down snaps that once went to McKissic, and the 2020 third-round pick now figures to get even more of that work, at least temporarily. It's possible that benefits Brian Robinson a bit if Gibson plays fewer snaps on early/running downs, while Jonathan Williams is on hand for depth if the Washington Commanders want to use a third running back some. It sounds like McKissic is in danger of missing multiple games.
