Commanders' Reggie Bonnafon: Bumped up for Week 18
Rotowire
The Commanders elevated Bonnafon from the practice squad Saturday for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Bonnafon has yet to appear in a game this season, though he'll be called upon to provide depth at running back after top running back and rookie Brian Robinson (knee) was ruled out for the regular-season finale versus Dallas. The 27-year-old Bonnafon recorded 29 carries for 185 yards and one touchdown across 22 regular-season games during his first three seasons with Carolina. With Antonio Gibson (knee) and J.D. McKissic (neck) both on injured reserve, Bonnafon should be in line for No. 3 duties behind Jonathan Williams and Jaret Patterson in Week 18.

Reggie Bonnafon: Gets another chance with Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders signed Bonnafon to their practice squad Thursday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Bonnafon was waived by Washington at the end of training camp earlier this season, but he's since returned to the team's practice squad Thursday, where he'll temporarily serve as additional running back depth. With Brian Robinson (knee) currently listed as questionable for the Week 18 clash against the Cowboys and both Antonio Gibson (knee) and J.D. McKissic (neck) on injured reserve, Bonnafon could find himself on the Commanders' 53-man roster Sunday behind Jonathan Williams and Jaret Patterson if Robinson sits out.

Panthers' Reggie Bonnafon: Garners three touches
Rotowire
Bonnafon rushed once for four yards and caught both his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Buccaneers.
Bonnafon played his first offensive snaps Sunday in just his third appearance this season. While featuring for 20 percent of Carolina's offensive plays enabled him to get the ball a few times, Bonnafon's impact still was very restricted. It remains to be seen whether he'll remain active Week 17 versus the Saints, but Bonnafon once again would figure to factor behind Chuba Hubbard and Ameer Abdullah at tailback if he suits up.
