Croskey-Merritt has played through soft tissue injuries for weeks now. He played through a groin injury last week, and the same issue could be bothering him today. Regardless, Croskey-Merritt still has a chance to play this week and today’s absence could actually benefit the starting running back. The Commanders face the 49ers on Monday night, so Croskey-Merritt has extra time to rest and rehab. Stay tuned.
