Rotoworld Player News

Jacory Croskey-Merritt

WAS Running Back #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday.

He missed about a week with the ailment, and reporters discovered that the “lower body injury” was a groin injury. We wouldn’t be surprised if he were limited a bit over the next two weeks, but if he’s practicing he’s certainly likely to play in Week 1.
Jeremy McNichols

WAS Running Back #26

Commanders placed RB Jeremy McNichols (quad) on injured reserve.

McNichols will start the season sidelined with a linger quad injury he suffered in mid-August. Used primarily as a pass-catching back, McNichols could see playing time later this season if Rachaad White or Jacory Croskey-Merritt miss any time. He will miss at least the first four games of the season and should remain on waivers.
Van Jefferson

FA Wide Receiver #12

Commanders released Van Jefferson.

Jefferson was in the running for a rotational role this summer, but a handful of younger players ultimately passed him on the depth chart. Treylon Burks appears to be the team’s WR3 for Week 1 while Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey, and Antonio Williams are all vying for the WR4 gig.
Shy Tuttle

FA Defensive Tackle #79

Commanders released DT Shy Tuttle.

Tuttle began the 2025 season playing for the Titans and closed it playing for the Commanders, who released him today. He logged just 11 tackles and failed to pressure the opposing passer once.
Robert Henry

FA Running Back #30

Commanders waived RB Robert Henry Jr.

Henry was a depth backup for the Commanders’ running back room after signing as an undrafted free agent out of UTSA. He had a solid preseason showing but the Commanders had little room on the main roster with Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, and Kaytron Allen ahead on the depth chart. Henry is a candidate to return on the practice squad.
Trent Scott

FA Tackle #73

Commanders released Trent Scott.

Scott has been with the Commanders for each of the past three seasons, appearing in 35 games with six starts, not including the postseason. He even caught Jayden Daniels’ first touchdown pass in 2024. Scott is a candidate to land on Washington’s practice squad.
Sam Hartman

FA Quarterback #15

Commanders waived QB Sam Hartman.

Although he entered the league just two years ago, Hartman is already 27 years old. He has never seriously competed for the Commanders’ No. 2 job. He will likely head back to the practice squad, but the odds are getting longer Hartman ever makes a regular season appearance.
Max Scharping

FA Guard

Commanders released OG Max Scharping.

Scharping was signed earlier this month. He has not played much in recent years and tore and ACL in September 2025.
Craig Reynolds

FA Running Back #24

Commanders released RB Craig Reynolds.

Now on the wrong side of 30, Reynolds spent most of this decade as a lightly-used but valuable Lions reserve, at least in the eyes of the coaching staff. Washington was maybe the wrong place to try to latch on, as it had too much readymade NFL depth. Reynolds’ special teams expertise and reasonable amount of experience on offense could make him a stalwart of the 2026 workout circuit.
Antonio Williams

WAS Wide Receiver #14

ESPN’s John Keim believes rookie WR Antonio Williams “will play early” for the Commanders this season.

Playing early is one thing. Pulling targets from Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, and Chig Okonkwo is another. Williams has reportedly had a strong camp and will likely see most of his snaps come from the slot in his rookie season. The former Clemson Tiger caught 130 passes over his final two seasons, but it’s hard to imagine him offering much fantasy production, especially in the early part of the season.
