The Washington Commanders have signed veteran running back Chase Edmonds to their practice squad following the devastating injury to Austin Ekeler, who suffered a torn Achilles in last week’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. The injury, confirmed by MRI, will sideline Ekeler for the remainder of the 2025 season and raises questions about whether the 30-year-old back will be able to return to the field at all. The signing of Edmonds was first reported by Nicki Jhabvala.
