  "summary": "Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has returned to practice following a groin injury, according to Yahoo Sports. The news comes on September 1, with a source confirming that Croskey-Merritt has not been rushed back since the initial injury report last week. With the Commanders' muddy backfield featuring free-agent Rachaad White and rookie Kaytron Allen, Croskey-Merritt is expected to receive the first opportunity for early-down work. As a result, fantasy football analysts may view him as a valuable RB3 option in drafts before the double-digit rounds.",
