Chase Edmonds: Everything you need to know

The Commanders signed Edmonds from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday. Edmonds will provide depth in a Washington backfield that also includes Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. He was previously elevated from the practice squad by the Commanders to play Week 11, a game against the Dolphins in which Edmonds did not play on offense but handled seven snaps on special teams.

Edmonds reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Edmonds didn't see a snap on offense as he operated as the Commanders' RB4 behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. However, Edmonds did play seven snaps on special teams and returned for kickoffs for 93 yards. The Commanders are on a bye Week 12, but Edmonds could be elevated to the active roster for Week 13 against Denver on Sunday, Nov. 30 if Washington needs a returner on kickoffs and punts.

The Commanders elevated Edmonds from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports. Edmonds joined the Commanders' practice squad in mid-September, and he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Spain to provide additional backfield depth behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols. Edmonds missed the entire 2024 season due to a knee injury and last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Buccaneers, when he turned 49 carries into 176 yards and caught 14 passes (on 17 targets) for 81 yards across 13 regular-season games.
