Croskey-Merritt was held out of Thursday's practice due to a groin injury.
Croskey-Merritt logged two limited practices during Week 5 prep due to a groin issue and still suited up this past Sunday against the Giants, turning his 11 carries into 82 yards and one touchdown. As a result, his absence Thursday could be more for maintenance than anything, but his status nonetheless will be watched closely in advance of Monday's game at San Francisco.

Croskey-Merritt (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.
Croskey-Merritt had his practice reps restricted during the entirety of Week 1 prep due to a lower-body injury that stems back to an Aug. 22 practice. Despite those listed limitations, he'll be available to the Commanders backfield this weekend, likely in some sort of timeshare with Rachaad White.

Croskey-Merritt has been tending to a lower-body injury since picking it up during an Aug. 22 practice. He's been back on the field since Sept. 1 but hasn't been able to do enough yet to be considered a full participant. Friday's practice report may provide a sense of Croskey-Merritt's odds to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener at Philadelphia.

Croskey-Merritt initially suffered an undisclosed injury in an Aug. 22 practice that coach Dan Quinn clarified as to the running back's lower body not long after. While the running back was able to return to the practice field Sept. 1, Croskey-Merritt's activity level wasn't known until this week. He still has some work to do ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup at Philadelphia, while fellow RB Rachaad White (hamstring) avoided the Commanders' injury report entirely Wednesday.

Croskey-Merritt looked noticeably bigger in spring practices, and head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that the team had told the running back to add bulk after Croskey-Merritt's rookie campaign, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Croskey-Merritt led the Commanders with 805 rushing yards during his rookie regular season while being listed at 5-foot-11 and 208 pounds. He's expected to be used as a bruising runner between the tackles, and added mass should help him be effective in that role. Croskey-Merritt didn't show much pass-catching aptitude in his debut campaign, with just nine catches for 68 yards. He sat out the first few spring practices due to a soft-tissue injury but has since returned to join a backfield mix that includes Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen, Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols and Robert Henry.
