Commanders face running back challenges ahead of preseason game against Lions

The Washington Commanders' running back situation worsens with multiple injuries ahead of their preseason game against the Detroit Lions. Jerome Ford has been placed on injured reserve due to a severe hamstring injury, effectively sidelining him for the entire season. Rachaad White is also out for Saturday's game with a hamstring issue sustained during practice. Jeremy McNichols is recovering from a quadriceps injury, further complicating the team's backfield depth. As a response, the Commanders signed Craig Reynolds to bolster their roster, while rookies Kaytron Allen and Robert Henry Jr. performed well in prior outings. They are expected to take on a heavier workload in the upcoming matchup.
