Commanders expected to sign running back Austin Ekeler

The Washington Commanders are reportedly set to sign free agent running back Austin Ekeler to enhance their roster. This move comes after the Commanders experienced a lackluster rushing performance in their Week 3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, where no player surpassed 36 rushing yards. Ekeler, who is recovering from an Achilles injury, previously met with the Carolina Panthers but will return to the Commanders, a team he has familiarity with. The addition aims to address concerns in the backfield following disappointing performances from current players.
