Commanders RB Jaret Patterson has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He'll join Brian Robinson and Jonathan Williams in the Antonio Gibson-less backfield. Robinson should dominate the ball-carrying work but is likely to lose passing-down snaps to Williams and potentially Patterson.

The Commanders have elevated RB Jaret Patterson from the practice squad, ahead of Sunday's finale against the Cowboys. It's not a surprising move, given that RB Antonio Gibson will be out once again. He landed on IR Thursday after missing last week with knee and foot injuries. RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) joined Gibson in missing Wednesday's practice. Don't be surprised if Robinson sits out the finale as well. Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch says Patterson "seems likely to get a large share of work on Sunday." Washington also has RB Jonathan Williams on the active roster. Beware of using any Commanders offensive players in your Week 18 lineup.

Undrafted free agent RB Jaret Patterson signed with Washington. The University of Buffalo product tallied a freshman record 1,013 yards and 14 TDs in 2018. He posted 1,799 yards and 19 TDs on 312 carries as a sophomore before tallying 141-1,072-19 in 2020. Fueled by quick feet and sharp cuts, Patterson ranked 7th in the nation in missed tackles forced last year, per Pro Football Focus. The 5’7, 195-pounder absorbed contact well in the MAC, but he’s clearly undersized for an early-down role. Plus, as a pass catcher, Patterson went all of last season without a target. He recorded 20 total catches from 2018-2019. He’ll battle for a roster spot in Washington.
