Commanders Concerned RB Jeremy McNichols’ Mid-Foot Injury Is Serious

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn stated that the team is concerned running back Jeremy McNichols has suffered a serious mid-foot injury. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, McNichols is undergoing additional testing to confirm the full extent of the issue. The potential absence presents a challenge for Washington's backfield depth, particularly with running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt already on injured reserve.

McNichols, a 30-year-old veteran drafted by the Buccaneers in 2017, joined the Commanders on a one-year contract in 2024 before re-signing for both the 2025 and 2026 seasons. In the 2026 season, McNichols has played in two games, recording 10 carries for 34 yards and one reception for seven yards.
