The Washington Commanders signed running back Jaret Patterson to the practice squad on Tuesday. Patterson signed with Washington after being undrafted in 2021 and rushed 85 times for 344 yards and two touchdowns in 20 games. He was released during final roster cuts ahead of the 2023 season and spent time on the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad until his release on December 20. Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring), Jonathan Williams (concussion), and Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) are all banged up, so Patterson adds much-needed depth to the Commanders' RB room.

The Washington Commanders released running back Jaret Patterson on Monday, according to a source. There's still a chance that Patterson returns to Washington's practice squad to open up the 2023 regular season. He had eight carries for 51 yards in the preseason finale last week, but it still wasn't enough to keep him on the 53-man roster heading into Week 1. Behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson in the Commanders' backfield, the team also has rookie Chris Rodriguez Jr., Jonathan Williams and Derrick Gore. The 23-year-old Patterson saw 85 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns while adding 10 receptions for an additional 73 yards in 20 games (one start) in his two seasons in D.C.
