Today’s minor moves:
Washington Commanders
- Placed on IR: RB Antonio Gibson
- Signed to active roster: RB Jaret Patterson
Gibson missed Week 17 with a knee injury, and the issue will also force him to miss the regular season finale. Despite an uncertain role with Brian Robinson and J.D. McKissic on the roster, Gibson still managed to put up solid numbers, finishing the campaign with 899 yards from scrimmage and five scores. Of course, this was a far cry from his first two seasons when he collected 21 touchdowns and more than 2,000 yards from scrimmage.
Patterson will be taking the open spot on the depth chart. After collecting more than 300 yards in 17 games for Washington last season, the RB has only seen time in a pair of games in 2022.
Always been a big fan of Jaret Patterson. Reminded me a lot of Branden Oliver the former chargers running back.
Always love it when small school guys make it.
This could have some meaning if the idea that was floated about an eighth seed in each conference is added after the Bills-Bengals game is called a no-contest. In that case, Washington would need to beat Dallas, LA would need to beat Seattle, and Detroit vs Green Bay would not be able to end in a tie.
