Austin Ekeler Diagnosed With A Concussion

Sunday, November 24, 5:42 PM

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. There were only seconds left on the clock. However, the game ended with Ekeler exiting due to a concussion. According to head coach Dan Quinn, the veteran will undergo further testing. But with Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) and Ekeler both banged up in Week 12, there's a chance both players may miss the Week 13 meeting with the Titans. If so, Jeremy McNichols would likely handle most of the work out of the backfield.

Josh Jacobs Returns On Sunday

Sunday, November 24, 6:57 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (cramping) returned to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. Jacobs has had a stellar showing in Week 12, accumulating 99 yards and two scores off 22 touches. Fortunately, there wasn't much concern regarding his return for this one after he exited due to cramping. However, with the Packers up by two scores heading toward the middle of the fourth quarter, Jacobs may not see much work for the remainder of the contest.
