The Washington Commanders are revamping their running back room after Austin Ekeler's season-ending Achilles injury.

According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the Commanders are signing veteran running back Chase Edmonds to the practice squad.

The Commanders have Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. on the roster, but Edmonds adds some depth in case anyone else gets hurt.

The Commanders will be back on the field in Week 3 at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the game on FOX.
