Quinshon Judkins injury update
Quinshon Judkins suffered an ankle injury in Week 5 against the New York Jets. He missed the first two days of practice but returned to a limited session to close the week, which left his status as questionable. With only one limited practice in the week, his odds of playing were around 50/50.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt injury update
Jacory Croskey-Merritt began the week not participating in practice on Thursday or Friday. Known as “Bill,” Croskey-Merritt will have one more chance to practice on Saturday before the Washington Commanders determine a designation. At this point, the likelihood leans toward a questionable tag at best.
TreVeyon Henderson injury update
TreVeyon Henderson was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, initially implying a lengthy absence and no practice this week. Remarkably, Henderson logged three limited practices and is listed as questionable. He stated that he feels pretty good and will see how things progress ahead of Sunday, with optimism tempered by the typical cautious approach to a high-ankle injury. A firm ruling is expected before kickoff.
Alvin Kamara injury update
Alvin Kamara continues to deal with a back issue from Week 4. He recorded three limited practices this week and was listed as questionable. This marks an improvement from the prior week, when he had two limited practices before ultimately playing. The expectation is that Kamara will be active, though his snap count may be limited.
Rico Dowdle injury update
Rico Dowdle has not played since Week 2 due to a toe injury. He showed improvement with two full practices this week but remains listed as questionable. With Jaylen Warren performing well, Dowdle could be active but may see limited carries if active.
Jadarian Price injury update
Jadarian Price remains on injured reserve with a chest injury. There was an encouraging update on Friday, with head coach Mike Macdonald suggesting Price could return sooner rather than later, potentially by Week 8 when he becomes first eligible. Price would rejoin a backfield that includes Zach Charbonnet, with Emanuel Wilson also vying for touches.
Bottom line for Week 6
Several running backs are dealing with injuries that could impact their availability or roles this weekend. Expect team-by-team injury designations to finalize ahead of Sunday, and watch for late updates as game day approaches.
