J.D. McKissic Absent Again Thursday
2 years agoWashington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic (neck) was not seen at practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. McKissic hasn't seen the practice field since injuring his neck in Week 8, and he seems likely to miss a third straight game this weekend against the Houston Texans, barring a miraculous recovery in the next couple of days. With McKissic injured, both rookie Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson have been successful sharing Washington's backfield. Both running backs found the end zone in the Week 10 over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Robinson will continue to carry the load on early downs, with Gibson working as the third-down back. Both RBs qualify as low-end RB2 options for fantasy managers against Houston this weekend.
