Who Should I Start? Craig Reynolds or Zamir White

Saturday, October 3, 10:24 AM

Washington Commanders running back Craig Reynolds has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in London. Washington needed another healthy body with Rachaad White (shoulder) ruled out, and the move also adds some uncertainty around how much Austin Ekeler will be asked to do right away. Ekeler only rejoined the Commanders earlier this week after recovering from last season's Achilles tear, so the team has had just a few practices to work him back into the offense. Reynolds' elevation doesn't necessarily mean Ekeler will be inactive, but it gives Washington another option if his workload is limited. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Kaytron Allen are also available in a backfield that suddenly has several moving parts. Reynolds may end up serving mostly as depth Sunday, but his elevation is worth noting with White unavailable and Ekeler's immediate role still unclear.
