Next up behind Rachaad White; depth chart RB2.
Rest of the stableRobert Henry Jr. (RB3)ExpandCollapse
Robert Henry Jr.RB30% rostered · free long shotTeam change: the UDFA rookie is back with Washington, where he began the year on the practice squad, after a spell on Seattle's active roster. Washington's Nov. 4 Week 9 page carries practice notes on him preparing for a new opportunity, and the feed now lists him third. The room is thin - Croskey-Merritt on IR to Week 12, McNichols out for the year - so real snaps are possible.
Injury history: No reported injury absence was verified this cycle. A prior Out designation dated Oct. 18 in the feed was never explained by a club report, and he carried none on Seattle's Oct. 31 report. He is not listed on Washington's official Nov. 4 Week 9 injury report. Absence of reported injury data establishes nothing about his health.

Austin Ekeler is listed RB2 on the Washington Commanders depth chart behind Rachaad White. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Jeremy McNichols: Out (espn_rosters) Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Now clearly the No. 2 rather than the No. 3: Croskey-Merritt is on IR until at least Week 12 and McNichols is done for the year per Washington's Nov. 4 Week 9 page, leaving Ekeler as Rachaad White's main complement. No Washington back carries a designation. His usage has been small and passing-game shaped - a bench hold with contingency value, not a volume bet.
Starter injury history: Durable across his career with no long absence in the three prior seasons. 2026: a shoulder injury in the Week 3 win over Seattle cost Week 4; he cleared with no designation for Week 5. One game missed. No running back appears on Washington's official Nov. 4 Week 9 injury report vs. the Rams, so he carries no designation - though absence from a report is not a positive health finding.
Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.
Next up behind Devin Singletary; depth chart RB3.
Rest of the stablePhil Mafah (RB4), Patrick Ricard (FB1)ExpandCollapse
Phil MafahRB40% rostered · free long shotActivated from the practice squad on Nov. 7 as a standard elevation for the Week 9 game at Philadelphia, with Cam Skattebo doubtful (hamstring) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve. Devin Singletary remains the likelier beneficiary of a Skattebo absence, so this reads as one-game depth rather than evidence of a defined role; no 2026 usage data is available.
Injury history: No verified injury information was gathered for him and no 2026 designation has been reported; he is not on the Giants' Nov. 6 Week 9 injury report. Missing injury data does not establish health.

Patrick RicardFB1fullback0% rostered · free long shotSigned as an unrestricted free agent in March and still the Giants' listed fullback, off the Week 9 injury report. His value is blocking and situational work, not carries. With Cam Skattebo doubtful for Week 9 the Giants elevated Phil Mafah on Nov. 7 rather than reshaping the backfield around Ricard, which is consistent with no change to his role.
Injury history: Multiple Pro Bowl fullback, age 32, with occasional missed games over recent seasons but no long absence on record. He is not listed on the Giants' Nov. 6 Week 9 injury report and no 2026 absence has been reported; missing injury data does not establish health.

Greg Desrosiers Jr. is listed RB3 on the New York Giants depth chart behind Devin Singletary. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Tyrone Tracy Jr.: Out (espn_rosters) Cam Skattebo: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Signed to the Giants' active roster Oct. 28 from the Chargers' practice squad as the replacement for Tracy (IR). An undrafted rookie listed at 5-11, 200 pounds who has not yet played an NFL game, with no role described for him. New York is on bye in Week 8; Skattebo and Singletary are ahead of him and Schoen said the team is 'rolling with three.' Watch only.
Starter injury history: A handful of missed games across the last three seasons with lower-body issues; no chronic condition reported, and he is now 29 with a heavy career touch count. His Week 4 and Week 5 absences were roster decisions, not injuries. No injury has been reported for him in Week 7 or during the Week 8 bye. Missing injury data does not establish health.
Listed starter Cam Skattebo is Out; Devin Singletary steps in.
