Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt Returns to Full Practice, Eyes Larger Role

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, having returned to full health after missing Wednesday. He and Chris Rodriguez are positioned to split backfield reps Sunday against the Eagles. In Week 17, with Rodriguez sidelined, Croskey-Merritt rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on just 11 carries, a performance that could lead to him seeing a larger share of the backfield workload versus Philadelphia.
