Overview
- Reynolds worked out for the Commanders on Sunday and multiple outlets reported the team agreed to sign him on Monday to add immediate depth.
- Washington made the move after coach Dan Quinn said Jeremy McNichols will miss multiple weeks with a quadriceps injury.
- Reynolds is a 30-year-old journeyman who began his career in Washington and has spent 2021–25 mainly with the Detroit Lions, with roughly 60 NFL games, 658 rushing yards and a strong special-teams resume.
- The Commanders’ backfield remains crowded with Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Jerome Ford and rookie Kaytron Allen, so Reynolds is expected to compete for a depth role and special-teams snaps.
- If Reynolds gets up to speed quickly he could play in Saturday’s preseason game at Ford Field against his former team and his signing will be watched alongside McNichols’ recovery and upcoming roster cuts.
