Commanders' Derrick Gore: Gets three touches over six games

Commanders' Derrick Gore: Works as No. 3 RB
Gore took two carries for 23 yards in a 31-19 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Gore played just three snaps on offense and one on special teams in his third-ever appearance for the Commanders. He's either been third or fourth on the depth chart for most of the year and only got snaps on offense Week 11 because Antonio Gibson (toe) was inactive. Brian Robinson played 78 percent of snaps for Washington and took 24 touches for 131 yards.

Commanders' Derrick Gore: Elevated from practice squad
The Commanders elevated Gore from their practice squad Saturday.
Gore's elevation likely means that Antonio Gibson, who entered the weekend listed as doubtful due to a toe injury, won't suit up. This is the third time Gore has been elevated this season, and he tallied 13 offensive snaps without getting a touch or a target over Weeks 4 and 5. He'll likely work in a limited role behind fellow tailbacks Brian Robinson and Chris Rodriguez against the Giants on Sunday.

Derrick Gore: Could suit up Sunday
Coach Ron Rivera said Friday that Gore would be elevated from Washington's practice squad to its active roster for Week 11 in the event that Antonio Gibson (toe) is out, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Gibson is officially listed as doubtful, which likely means Gore is close to probable to be available versus the Giants. In two games so far this season, he has not recorded a touch.

Derrick Gore: Sticking with NOLA
The Saints re-signed Gore to the practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Gore initially signed with New Orleans' practice squad last Wednesday before being cut by the team Tuesday. While the 27-year-old running back was not elevated during the team's Week 10 loss to the Steelers, he'll land back on the team's practice squad along with fellow veteran David Johnson, who was also signed Wednesday. With No. 2 running back Mark Ingram (knee) expected to remain out at least one more week and Dwayne Washington apparently relegated to a special-teams role, Gore and Johnson could jockey for a spot on the team's game-day roster during Sunday's game against the Rams.
