Commanders RB Rachaad White has missed "the last few days" of practice because of a hamstring injury, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. White reportedly sustained the injury in a joint practice with the Dolphins last week, before Friday night's preseason opener.
Washington has downgraded WR Deebo Samuel to out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He's not even traveling with the team, thanks to the heel injury that he played through in last Monday night's loss to the Bears. Samuel still led the team's pass catchers in playing time for that contest.
The Commanders are activating RB Austin Ekeler from IR. He missed the past four games with a concussion but should be ready for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. See where Ekeler lands in our updated Week 18 RB rankings.
