Jacory Croskey-Merritt News
Monday, October 19, 12:11 PM
Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is being placed on Injured Reserve due to a groin issue, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Croskey-Merritt was already ruled out for Washington's Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football and will now miss at least through Week 10. Across five games in 2026, the 25-year-old had recorded 67 carries for 239 yards and two touchdowns while splitting backfield work with veteran Commanders back Rachaad White. Croskey-Merritt's lack of pass-game involvement limited his fantasy upside, but he was largely Washington's preferred option on early downs. With Croskey-Merritt sidelined, Washington's backfield now looks like a true committee between White, Austin Ekeler, and Jeremy McNichols, whom the team activated from the Injured Reserve on Monday.

Jeremiyah Love News
Thursday, October 22, 12:48 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) did not practice during the open portion of his team's practice on Thursday but was spotted working on the side with team trainers, per Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Love missed Arizona's Week 6 win over the Los Angeles Rams due to an ankle injury that is expected to sideline him for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos as well. Across five games in 2026, the 21-year-old has recorded 281 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 78 touches. Love initially suffered a high ankle sprain during the preseason, which may have lingered into the regular season and impacted his explosiveness even in the games where he was active. If Love remains sidelined in Week 7, Cardinals backs Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight will likely handle the team's backfield work against Denver.
