The Washington Commanders are shutting Antonio Gibson down for the season with one game left to play. He had been dealing with an ankle injury, but then suffered a knee sprain two weeks ago against the San Francisco 49ers. He was inactive last week when Washington lost to the Cleveland Browns, and has now been placed on injured reserve.
Gibson went from being Washington’s RB1 last season, to losing that job to rookie Brian Robinson and starting his secondary role with the team as a kick returner, to reclaiming RB1 after Robinson was shot twice during an attempted carjacking.
