The Washington Commanders are already thin at running back.
We aren't even through the preseason, and the Commanders will need to be careful with their running back group. Thursday at training camp practice, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, aka Bill, caught a pass "and seemed to pull up a little bit," as reported by Ben Standig.
The Commanders have already lost Jerome Ford. Ford, who had signed in the offseason from the Cleveland Browns, was injured during last week's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. During the broadcast, you could see for just a second that Ford was clearly hurting while on the field. Sure enough, an examination revealed Ford's hamstring injury was severe, as the Commanders have already declared Ford to be placed on the injured reserve, and he is out for the season. Ford had gained 813 rushing yards in 2023, and in 2024 he averaged 5.4 yards per carry on his 104 rushing attempts.
RB Rachaad White (hamstring) was hurt on his final play of the joint practice vs Miami. Quinn said he’s “certainly close” but won’t play Saturday.
Another free agent signing, Rachaad White, has also been nursing a sore hamstring. He missed the preseason game against the Dolphins last week, having injured his hamstring during the scrimmage against the Dolphins two days earlier. White's hamstring injury is not nearly as serious as Ford's. In fact, White was at practice Thursday and did some light individual work. He has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Lions.
