Commanders Activate Austin Ekeler from Injured Reserve Ahead of Playoff Push

The veteran running back returns after a four-game absence due to a concussion, bolstering Washington's offense for their regular-season finale against Dallas.

Austin Ekeler, recovering from his second concussion this season, has been activated off injured reserve by the Washington Commanders.
Ekeler missed the last four games after sustaining a concussion in Week 12 during a loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Commanders, already playoff-bound, can secure the NFC's No. 6 seed with a win over Dallas or a Green Bay Packers loss to Chicago.
Ekeler has contributed 701 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns this season, showcasing his versatility as a rusher, receiver, and kickoff returner.
Washington placed safety Tyler Owens on injured reserve to make room for Ekeler, who is expected to play in Sunday's regular-season finale.
