Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 4, and is not on the injury report for Week 5.
Huddle Up: Ekeler is on track to play this week, and his workload will depend on the availability of Brian Robinson Jr. He should see a good amount of work even if Robinson plays and can be a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) practiced in full on Thursday, Oct. 3, after being limited the day before.
Huddle Up: While he has yet to be officially cleared from the protocol, the full practice means Ekeler is trending toward returning. Meanwhile, Brian Robinson (knee) hasn't taken part in practice yet this week and looks like he won't suit up. If Ekeler is cleared and Robinson sits, the former is a strong RB2 in Week 5.

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) practiced without his no-contact jersey on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: This news is even more notable considering Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) has logged consecutive DNPs to start the week. If he cannot practice again on Friday, Ekeler would likely be in line to start in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns if he can clear the league's concussion protocol over the next day or two. If Robinson sits and Ekeler plays, he should see enough work to be a solid RB2 option. Jeremy McNichols should be rostered as well, since it appears Washington could be without at least one of its top two backs.

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Huddle Up: Ekeler has a chance to play in the Week 5 game if he is able to pass his concussion tests. He will be involved in the running and passing game if he plays and can be at least a flex option in leagues.
