RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, WAS (10 Viewers)

[The Frankman]

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (knee) did not practice on Thursday.

Croskey-Merritt was reportedly seen practicing earlier today, but the Commanders have officially listed him as a non-participant. We suspect he was participating in solo rehab drills on a side field. With the updated report, Croskey-Merritt is now on the wrong side of questionable. The rookie running back was said to be feeling “a little sore” post-game, and his knee injury was “not considered to be anything serious at all.” Friday’s injury report should clarify his Week 4 availability, but at this point, RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. has decent odds of leading the team in carries this week.

I am kinda hoping he is ruled out. I have C-Rod and I think he is a solid start if Bill is out.

I don’t recall the Commanders being this bad about injury reporting. They’ve basically told us nothing about Daniels, McLaurin, and Croskey-Merritt.

What’s going on with their beat writers? It’s their job to ask tough questions, read the tea leaves, and get us the info…

Apparently he's out there "in some capacity." Sounds like he's limited.

Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (knee) was at Friday's practice after not practicing Wednesday and Thursday. Quinn said he had a good practice. "He's working incredibly hard round the clock to get back," Quinn said. "Ultimately doctors haven't cleared him just yet. He's absolutely doing everything he possibly can."

Take the week off and then come back and beast.

See, this is what I’m talking about. Earlier in the week the beat writers made it seem like he was OK, it’s just a day off or a precautionary thing.

But, this indicates that it’s a legit injury that the medical staff is treating. So, what’s wrong? Is it a knee sprain? If so, is it his MCL, PCL, ACL, or LCL? What’s its grade? The reporters that cover the team are terrible.

Bill did a TMZ interview on their off day (Tuesday) and was really jovial. I can't imagine it's anything that would keep him out of a playoff game, but their medical staff could just be cautious, especially with their best players.

Gotcha. So, the Commanders are gonna act like this is the NBA, and they’re gonna assign their star players vague injury designations and hold them out until they’re 100%…

Since when do teams best players come in on the third drive every week?

I wouldn't count on that always being the norm. It's WAY early in his career (obviously).

There's a ton of reports out of Washington that suggest they're super-high on Bill. Cecil Lammey had an interesting tidbit awhile back about a discussion he had with somebody in the organization who said they already view Bill as one of their top players.

Gauging a rookie by playing time early in the season can be a poor way of determining how a franchise feels about the player, especially a late round pick. There's typically a process rookies have to endure. It can take awhile to get to the top of the depth chart, etc.

Could this be the day?

My decision was made for me when lost Warren this am.

Bill is active today.
