The Washington Football Team placed back up running back J.D. McKissic on their IR this afternoon. This puts an end to a long healthy streak for McKissic who hasn’t missed extended time since 2018.
Antonio Gibson has performed as the bell cow this season with McKissic coming on to give him a breather every now and then. McKissic has carried the ball 48 times for 212 yards and 2 touchdowns. He’s shown his usual prowess as a receiving back catching 43 passes from the backfield for 397 yards and 2 touchdowns. The sixth-year veteran actually has more receiving yards and touchdowns over his career than rushing.
With McKissic out, the Football Team will have to lean on the rookie out of Buffalo, Jaret Patterson, and practice squad running back Jonathan Williams. Patterson has seen a bit of run in his first year carrying the ball 37 times for 135 yards, while Williams has only appeared in 2 games so far this year, including tonight’s contest against the Eagles.
Washington will be counting on the three backs as a win tonight would put Washington in the 7th seed spot for a contentious NFC.
Guys been on Washington for two full years and can’t even get a picture of him in the right uniform haha
I was just about to say that. They did that with the Cole Beasley story with him in a Cowboys uni even though he hasn’t been there for 3 years. and someone else earlier in the week. They never get it right. Lol
What a shame. The guy was finally finding his niche in the NFL. Now he’ll probably never be heard from again.
