The Washington Commanders are bringing back a familiar face.⁠ ⁠ To bolster their running back depth, the Commanders reportedly will sign veteran Austin Ekeler to their 53-man roster.⁠ ⁠ NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo first reported the news Monday morning.⁠ ⁠ Ekeler, 31, spent the last two seasons in Washington but ruptured his Achilles in Week 2 last September. He had four touchdowns in 12 games the year before, helping lead the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game.⁠ ⁠ Washington has primarily utilized Rachaad White and Jacory Croskey-Merritt out of the backfield this season, with those two combining for 69 carries and 242 rushing yards through three weeks. Rookie sixth-round pick Kaytron Allen has 40 yards on nine carries so far.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #washingtondc #maryland #virginia #pgcounty #dc #districtofcolumbia #dmv #northernvirginia #alexandriava #northernva #arlingtonva #fairfaxcounty #nova #md #mocomd #pgcountymd #washingtoncommanders #commanders
