The Washington Commanders already have a two-headed running back room with Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson Jr. to spearhead the team's ground game. Add in the athleticism of Jayden Daniels, and the Commanders have a rushing attack few in the league can stop.
So what's one more potential runner?
Both Ekeler and Robinson dealt with injuries last season and are entering the final years of their contract with the Commanders. They could look to add another running back from the free agent pool to bolster their group.
On Monday, the Commanders were linked to former Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins. ESPN's Matt Bowen listed Washington as the best fit for the 26-year-old.
"Finding an ideal fit for a veteran running back isn't easy at this point in the offseason, especially for a player with Dobbins' rich injury history," Bowen wrote. "He missed four games with an MCL sprain last season, yet he still managed a career high in rushing yards (905) and tied a career high in rushing touchdowns (nine)."
Dobbins had a very successful season for the Chargers last season to solidify their own backfield while reaching the postseason. He's another player who has some major injury issues as well, though.
A Dobbins-Ekeler-Robinson backfield could be one of the best in the league, but also one of the bigger gambles as well. If Washington does make a move, it'll show that the team believes they'll have at least one who can carry the load at some point during the 2025 season.
