Commanders evaluate running back options ahead of preseason opener against Dolphins

The Washington Commanders prepare for their preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins on August 14 at Northwest Stadium. Jeremy McNichols, a returning running back, is sidelined with a strained quadriceps and did not participate in recent practices. With McNichols unavailable, attention shifts to newcomers Jerome Ford, Kaytron Allen, and Robert Henry Jr., who are expected to shoulder most of the workload. The Commanders have also signed Rachaad White and are looking for depth at the running back position as they finalize their roster ahead of the game.
