Austin Ekeler Goes On The Injured Reserve List On Saturday
6 hours agoWashington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Saturday. The veteran has played relatively well this season, amassing 355 yards and four touchdowns off 74 carries, adding 33 catches for 346 yards. While he hasn't been as productive as when he was with the Chargers, his absence is an issue for the Commanders, especially with Brian Robinson Jr. banged up throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Without Ekeler, Robinson should see more involvement in the offense on Sunday versus the Titans and beyond. Jeremy McNichols will also have a chance to get more involved, although his presence on fantasy rosters should be only for insurance purposes, at least until he proves he has fantasy value.
