Jeremy McNichols Goes on IR, Not Expected Back This Season

Tuesday, November 3, 1:15 PM

The Washington Commanders placed running back Jeremy McNichols (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, and he is not expected to return this season, according to Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. It is the second time this year that McNichols has been on IR, and it will also be the last. The 30-year-old veteran injured his foot in the third quarter of the Sunday night win over the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles and never returned. He will finish his ninth year in the NFL (third with the Commanders) with only 10 carries for 34 yards and one reception for a seven-yard gain in just two games played. The Commanders also have second-year back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) on Injured Reserve, so they are now down to Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler as their primary RBs as they head into a Week 9 contest at home against the Los Angeles Rams. With Croskey-Merritt out for at least three more games, one of Craig Reynolds or Devin Neal will likely be promoted to the active roster for this weekend's game.

Pierre Strong Jr. Could Be In Line for Sizable Role with Packers

Wednesday, November 11, 5:28 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Pierre Strong Jr. could potentially see an uptick in his usage following a broken finger injury to starting running back Josh Jacobs. Strong led Green Bay's backfield in snaps played (30) in a 45-27 win over the New England Patriots in Week 9. Strong rushed eight times for 22 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and recorded two receptions for 11 yards (5.5 yards per reception). However, Strong was out-touched 14-to-10 by fellow tailback Kaleb Johnson, and Johnson was the preferred ball carrier with 14 carries for 68 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown against the Patriots. With that said, Strong appeared to be favored on passing downs, as he was in on 15 passing plays compared to eight for Johnson, according to Pro Football Focus. Jacobs is expected to miss at least two to three weeks after breaking his right ring finger. Meanwhile, running back MarShawn Lloyd (knee) missed the game against the Patriots, but returned to practice on Wednesday without an injury designation ahead of a Week 10 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Fellow tailback Chris Brooks (ankle) remains on injured reserve, but is designated to return, and he was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Still, Strong should continue to see reps for the Packers with Jacobs out.
