Rachaad White misses practice with suspected hamstring injury
Summary

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White is absent from practice due to a suspected hamstring injury. The issue is rumored to have arisen during a recent ice bucket challenge, but sources indicate he actually tweaked his hamstring during a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins. White signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Commanders earlier this year and has been viewed as a key player in the offense, especially in the passing game. He is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions, although the injury is not considered serious.
