After Austin Ekeler's first three games back with Washington, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn updated everyone on the running back Wednesday: "Now I think the play time can now increase; he's ready for that." That news couldn't come at a better time, as the team prepares for Philadelphia, already without Jacory Croskey-Merritt for at least the next three games while he's on injured reserve.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Ekeler cleared for increased snaps; limited to 17, 6, 7 snaps in first three games.

RB cleared for increased playing time after limited early usage with Commanders. Coach Dan Quinn stated "the play time can now increase; he's ready for that." Ekeler has played minimal snaps in first three games: 17 against Colts, 6 against Giants, 7 against 49ers. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt out for at least three games on injured reserve, Ekeler should see expanded opportunities in an offense needing more consistent production. Ekeler emphasized team urgency: "We have to take care of our business. As much as we can look at the division, it all comes back to us. We've got to win our games."
