Jacory Croskey-Merritt Struggles in Week 18 Win, Ends Inconsistent Rookie Year

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt recorded 13 rushes for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles. He received eight carries on the opening possession but was largely phased out of the offense after gaining only five total yards. This performance was indicative of an inconsistent rookie season, where he surpassed 95 rushing yards in two of his final six games but failed to reach 35 yards in the other four. Despite potential offseason additions, Croskey-Merritt is expected to retain a role in 2026.
