The Washington Commanders are expected to sign veteran running back Austin Ekeler to their 53-man active roster, according to reports.
Both outlets say Ekeler has spent the past two seasons with Washington, indicating a reunion with a familiar team. They also note that he is coming off an Achilles injury, which limited his availability for part of last season. CBS adds that the injury kept him out for much of the previous campaign, while The Athletic describes the signing as a return to the active roster. Neither report provides additional contract terms or a specific signing date.
The accounts focus on the same basic development—Washington bringing Ekeler back for the active roster—while differing slightly in how they frame the injury’s timing and how definitive the signing process is (expected signing versus a reported move to the roster).
