What's happening with Jeremy McNichols
The Commanders waived rookie sixth-round running back Kaytron Allen. The move came as Jeremy McNichols returned to practice from injured reserve and Austin Ekeler was added to the roster, leaving Washington with a deeper, more experienced backfield and no clear path for Allen to make the active roster this season.

The Commanders have started the 21-day practice window for cornerback Trey Amos and running back Jeremy McNichols, opening the door for both to return from injured reserve. Once activated, Amos would bolster Washington's secondary while McNichols adds depth in the backfield, giving the team more options as it manages its roster down the stretch.
