Croskey-Merritt Scores TD, Sees Limited Second-Half Carries

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed eight times for 25 yards and a one-yard touchdown in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles. He saw all eight of his carries in the first half, leading the team, but curiously disappeared in the final two quarters in favor of Chris Rodriguez. While not particularly efficient overall, he did record long gains of 13 and seven yards in addition to his touchdown. It remains unclear why Croskey-Merritt was phased out of the offense, but he appears to still have a role.
