  • Scores late TD in Week 13 win

    Patterson rushed 11 times for 54 yards and one touchdown in the Chargers' 31-14 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Omarion Hampton (ankle) still sidelined, Patterson once again served as the Chargers' RB2 behind Kimani Vidal, who rushed 25 times for 126 yards and one touchdown as the Bolts' clear lead back against Las Vegas. Five of Patterson's 11 carries came on the final drive in the fourth quarter, one that was capped off by a Patterson two-yard touchdown. Through four games, Patterson has rushed 32 times for 129 yards and one score.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Chargers signed Patterson to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Patterson will provide additional depth at running back during Sunday's matchup versus the Raiders, as Omarion Hampton (ankle) will be sidelined for at least one more game. Patterson had already been elevated from the practice squad the maximum three times, carrying the ball 21 times for 75 yards across those appearances.

  • Returns to practice squad

    Patterson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Patterson was elevated to the active roster for the third week in a row, officially logging a one-yard carry while playing four snaps on offense, but he did have another carry negated by a holding call. The running back operated as the No. 2 option behind Kimani Vidal, but Vidal far outpaced him with 68 offensive snaps. Patterson now has exhausted all of his elevations, and the team will have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play again this season.

  • Elevated for Week 10

    The Chargers elevated Patterson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Patterson will be elevated to the Chargers' active roster for a third consecutive week, and he is expected to serve as the primary backup to Kimani Vidal on Sunday. Patterson has turned 20 carries into 74 yards in two regular-season games, though Vidal will be the top pass-catching back, as the former has not recorded a target this season.

  • Moves back to practice squad

    Patterson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Patterson was elevated for Sunday's Week 9 win over Tennessee and worked as Los Angeles' No. 2 running back (behind Kimani Vidal), logging 18 of 65 offensive snaps. Patterson ended up out-producing Vidal despite the relatively small snap share, tallying 44 yards on nine carries (to Vidal's 30 yards on 12 rushes). Patterson's presence became a necessity with all of Omarion Hampton (ankle), Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Najee Harris (Achilles) on IR. Vidal currently is the only healthy running…read more

  • Excels in complementary role Sunday

    Patterson carried nine times for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Kimani Vidal (12 carries for 30 yards, no receptions on one target) drew the start and led the backfield with a 72 percent snap share, but Patterson outproduced him on the ground, despite playing just 18 of the Chargers' 65 offensive snaps (28 percent). The Chargers are still likely to prioritize Vidal as their top passing-down back, but the delineation of the workload on the ground between the two players could become more even moving forward in light of Patterson's strong showing in Week 9.…read more

  • Elevated for second straight week

    Patterson was elevated from the Chargers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Patterson will be elevated to the active roster for the second straight week as the Chargers have an injury-riddled running back room. He had 11 rushing attempts in a blowout win over the Vikings in Week 8 and could be the primary change-of-pace back to Kimani Vidal in Week 9.

    Patterson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Patterson was signed to the Chargers' practice squad Oct. 14 and joined fellow running back Nyheim Hines as gameday elevations for Thursday's game against the Vikings due to Hassan Haskins (hamstring) being inactive. Patterson ended up playing 15 snaps on offense and turned 11 carries into 30 yards, with six of those carries coming in the fourth quarter with the Chargers holding a commanding lead.

  • Elevated for banged-up Chargers

    Patterson was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Patterson and Nyheim Hines have both been elevated, giving the Chargers a pair of healthy alternatives to Kimani Vidal, who is the only available option currently on the 53-man roster. Patterson has rushed 85 times for 344 yards and two touchdowns in 21 regular-season NFL games. He played for Washington in 2021 and 2022 before appearing in one game with the Chargers in 2024.

  • Signs with Los Angeles

    The Chargers signed Patterson to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Los Angeles now has three running backs on the practice squad, as Patterson joins Nyheim Hines and Amar Johnson behind Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins on the 53-man roster. Patterson profiles as an early-down, between-the-tackles ball carrier and could get a look on the game day roster after Haskins has amassed just 27 scoreless yards on 11 carries this season.

  • Let go with injury settlement

    The Chargers waived Patterson (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday.

    Analysis: The nature and severity of Patterson's injury isn't clear, but the settlement will allow him to sign with a team once he is fully healthy. The only preseason action he saw was the Hall of Fame Game against the Lions on July 31, when he turned three carries into two yards while adding two catches on as many targets for 18 yards.

  • Staying with Bolts

    Patterson signed a reserve/future contract with the Chargers on Monday.

    Analysis: Patterson was unsuccessful in making the Chargers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he signed with their practice squad Sept. 2. He was elevated for the Chargers' wild-card game against the Texans on Saturday, but he ended up being inactive for the contest. The 25-year-old running back will stay with the Bolts during OTAs, minicamp and training camp in an effort to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

  • Inactive for wild-card contest

    Patterson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card game versus Houston.

    Analysis: Patterson was elevated from the practice squad Friday, but he isn't going to suit up. J.K. Dobbins (ankle) entered Saturday deemed questionable to take the field, but he's been cleared to play, as has Gus Edwards, who dealt with an ankle injury of his own during practice this week. Hassan Haskins will join Dobbins and Edwards in the Chargers' backfield, while Kimani Vidal joins Patterson as a healthy inactive.

  • Joins active roster

    The Chargers elevated Patterson to their active roster Friday.

    Analysis: The Buffalo product has spent most of his 2024 campaign with the Chargers' practice squad after failing to make the active roster in late August. Patterson has appeared in one game for the Chargers this season, recording no stats while playing just one special-teams snap. His elevation ensures depth at running back for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans, with J.K. Dobbins (ankle) listed as questionable.

  • Lands back on practice squad

    The Chargers reverted Patterson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Patterson got his first elevation of the campaign for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs and played one snap on special teams. That was his first regular-season action since he suited up in three contests for the Commanders in 2022. With J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR for at least two more games, Patterson could get additional elevations, though it's unlikely he'll see much action on offense.

  • Elevated by Bolts for Week 14

    The Chargers elevated Patterson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Patterson signed with the Chargers' practice squad in early September after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. It's his first elevation of the 2024 campaign, though he'll likely be restricted to a special teams role, if he plays, as the Chargers already have Gus Edwards, Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins in the backfield. Patterson last saw NFL regular-season action in 2022 with the Commanders, and across three games he turned 17 carries into 78 yards.

    Patterson signed with the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Patterson was let go by the Bolts in late August after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's now found a spot on the practice squad. The 24-year-old running back's last regular-season action came in 2022 with the Commanders, when he appeared in three games and recorded 78 rushing yards on 17 attempts.

    The Chargers waived Patterson on Thursday.

    Analysis: Patterson made the Chargers' initial 53-man roster, but he was subsequently cut after the team claimed fellow RB Hassan Haskins on waivers. Also in the Los Angeles backfield mix ahead of Week 1 are Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and rookie Kimani Vidal.

  • First RB with touch Saturday

    Patterson had four carries for 10 yards while catching all five of his targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 13-9 preseason loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Patterson was the first back deployed by the Chargers sans J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards while the projected top duo continues to sit until the regular season. Rookie Kimani Vidal (11-49-0) had a strong showing Saturday as both young backs continue to battle for spots and roles behind the aforementioned veteran transplants from Baltimore. Expect Patterson to see more work in the Chargers' final preseason tilt against the Cowboys next Saturday.

  • Pushing for No. 3 job

    Patterson is believed to be the leading candidate for the Chargers' No. 3 running back job, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: According to Popper, Patterson has gotten the most reps with the first-team offense behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards while notably running ahead of Kimani Vidal, Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson. Patterson was also the first running back to get into the Chargers' first preseason game this past Saturday against the Seahawks, finishing with seven carries for 38 yards. Patterson spent most of the 2023 season on Los Angeles' practice squad before a short stint back in Washington. He has 85…read more

  • Tallies 42 yards in preseason loss

    Patterson carried the ball seven times for 38 yards and also caught one of his two targets for four yards in Saturday's 16-3 preseason loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Patterson started the game at running back due to Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins both being healthy inactives and continued to see time until early in the third quarter. Los Angeles' offense as a whole struggled to move the ball, especially in the first 30 minutes of the game, as Patterson's long of 16 yards came near the end of the first half with Seattle playing a prevent defense of sorts, content to let the Chargers effectively run out the clock. Neither Elijah Dotson (three carries, seven…read more

  • Taking some first-team reps

    Patterson got a lot of first-team snaps during practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Gus Edwards (undisclosed) limited to individual drills and sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal working with the backups, J.K. Dobbins and Patterson seem to be getting most of the first-team RB snaps early in training camp. Patterson nonetheless seems more likely to find himself on the roster bubble than competing for a significant Week 1 role, considering he went undrafted back in 2021 and didn't make a regular-season appearance last year.

  • Joins Chargers

    The Chargers signed Patterson to a reserve/future deal Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Patterson wasn't able to make his way onto the field this season, but he'll now get a chance to compete for a spot on the Chargers' 53-man roster for 2024. He probably lacks the size to ever take on a workhorse role.

    Patterson signed with the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: The Commanders are dealing with injuries throughout their backfield, as Brian Robinson (hamstring), Chris Rodriguez (ankle) and Jonathan Williams (concussion) are all banged up. Patterson played in 20 games for Washington across the 2021-22 seasons, rushing 85 times for 344 yards and two touchdowns.

    Patterson was cut from the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Patterson has been on the team's practice squad since Sept. 13, but he never received an elevation to the active roster. The 23-year-old will work to find a new opportunity before the 2023 campaign comes to a close.

  • Gets new opportunity

    Patterson signed with the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Patterson spent camp with the Commanders, as well as the previous two seasons, but was unable to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. He'll now be an emergency option for Los Angeles, while he tries to earn a permanent spot on their active roster.

  • Let go by Washington

    The Commanders are slated to waive Patterson on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Patterson made a case for a spot on Washington's final roster when he turned eight carries into 51 yards in the team's preseason finale, but he nonetheless will be subject to waivers before searching for an opportunity elsewhere. However, Patterson could have earned himself a call back via the practice squad.

  • Makes final case for spot

    Patterson took eight carries for 51 yards in Saturday's 21-19 preseason loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Patterson was the third back into the game, after Chris Rodriguez and Jonathan Williams, on a night that saw both Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson rested. Patterson thus appears unlikely to have a spot on the Week 1 roster, perhaps sticking around via the practice squad instead.

  • Leading rusher against Dallas

    Patterson carried the ball 17 times for 78 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Brian Robinson (knee) was inactive for the Commanders' season finale, so Patterson found himself as the primary option in the team's backfield after not getting a touch through the first 17 weeks, and he used the opportunity to establish a new career high in rushing yards for the game. Robinson's strong second half all but ensures he'll be the team's top RB in 2023, but if Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) gets moved in the offseason, Patterson could enter next season in the No. 2 spot on the depth…read more

    Patterson is one of two healthy running backs on Washington's roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with Dallas, Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: The other is journeyman Jonathan Williams, who was the No. 3 back behind Brian Robinson (knee) and Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) for most of December. With Gibson missing the final two games of the season and Robinson out for the last game, Patterson has been called up from the practice squad the past two weeks for the first time since mid-November.

    Analysis: With fellow running backs Antonio Gibson (knee) and J.D. McKissic (neck) both on injured reserve and Brian Robinson (knee) currently listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Patterson could find himself working in a backfield committee alongside Jonathan Williams in Week 18. The 23-year-old has seen game action on two separate occasions this campaign but has yet to register an offensive rep.

    Analysis: Patterson received the elevation for Sunday's loss to the Browns with Antonio Gibson (knee) inactive. The 23-year-old never the saw the field on offense, but he did handle return duties, totaling 70 yards on three opportunities. Whether he receives an opportunity to play Week 18 against the Cowboys will likely depend on whether Gibson plays.

    Patterson was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad Saturday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: It'll be interesting to see if Patterson gets any work as a returner given he's replacing the injured Antonio Gibson (knee). Either way, the second-year undrafted running back should see some snaps in general as the third option behind Brian Robinson and Jonathan Williams.

  • Likely to be elevated Week 17

    Patterson is expected to be elevated to the active roster with Commanders' No. 2 running back Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Patterson was previously bumped up from the practice squad for the Commanders' Week 4 win over the Eagles. However, the second-year running ultimately played just four special-teams snaps in that contest, so he'll likely slot into a similar role behind Brian Robinson and Jonathan Williams.

    Analysis: Patterson made his first NFL appearance in 2022 in Week 10 against the Eagles, but he ultimately played just four special-teams snaps in the contest. The 22-year-old will now transition back to Washington's practice squad as an emergency running back depth option, though he could receive another promotion to the team's 53-man roster if either J.D. McKissic (neck) or Jonathan Williams (knee) are unable to gain medical clearance in time for Sunday's game in Houston.

    Analysis: Patterson will provide backfield depth behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson with J.D. McKissic (neck) unavailable. He rushed for 266 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie season with Washington but has spent the entirety of the 2022 campaign on the practice squad up to this point.

    The Commanders signed Patterson to their practice squad Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Patterson had a solid preseason, rushing 16 times for 63 yards while catching five passes for 47 yards, but he failed to make the initial 53-man roster. With Brian Robinson (lower body) out for the foreseeable future, it's possible Patterson sees an elevation as early as Week 1.

    Analysis: Patterson had a strong preseason, rushing for 63 yards and a score on 16 carries while also catching five passes for 47 yards over three games. In the end though, he failed to make the Commanders' final roster and could end up on a new squad. With Brian Robinson (lower body) out for the foreseeable future, it's possible that Patterson returns to the Commanders' practice squad and gets elevated at some point early in the season.

    Patterson took 11 carries for 47 yards and four catches for 45 yards in Saturday's 17-15 preseason loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Patterson was busy throughout the night, especially in the first half, while Antonio Gibson, Brian Robinson, J.D. McKissic (groin) and Jonathan Williams all were held out. Patterson, a 2021 UDFA, may end up on the practice squad, but he's shown vision and balance to offset his lack of size and speed, potentially making him a decent depth back in the NFL. There's not much hope for Week 1 touches even if he makes the team.

  • Part of crowded backfield

    Patterson enters his second NFL season as part of a crowded Washington backfield that includes starter Antonio Gibson, passing-down specialist J.D. McKissic and rookie third-round pick Brian Robinson, Bijan Todd of NBC Sports reports.

    Analysis: Injuries could create more room, but the current group puts Patterson on the roster bubble, perhaps competing with Jonathan Williams and Reggie Bonnafon for one spot. Patterson did make one start last year after catching on as an undrafted rookie, and his respectable showing in that outing (98 total yards and a TD) could work in his favor this summer. Still, he's worth a look in only the deepest of fantasy leagues.

    Patterson rushed six times for 21 yards and brought in both targets for 14 yards in Washington's 22-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson was back in a complementary role a week after posting 98 total yards against the Eagles with Antonio Gibson available Sunday. The rookie showed some promise in limited action in 2021 by rushing for 266 yards and adding another 73 through the air on 11 receptions, and he appears set to compete for a potentially larger role behind Gibson in training camp this summer.

    Patterson rushed the ball 12 times for 57 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia. He added five receptions for 41 yards.

    Analysis: Patterson dominated work out of Washington's backfield in the absence of Antonio Gibson (hip/undisclosed). He accounted for 12 of Washington's 22 rushing attempts, though no other back recorded more than four carries. Patterson also made the most of his opportunity, averaging 4.8 yards per attempt while also opening the scoring in the contest with an 11-yard dash to the end zone early in the first quarter.

    Patterson is expected to pick up his first career start Sunday against the Eagles after lead back Antonio Gibson (hip) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday upon testing positive for the virus, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gibson's status for Week 17 was already murky after he downgraded from limited participation in practice Wednesday to no activity Thursday on account of the hip issue, and his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list makes it even more likely that he'll miss his first game. Since Gibson is vaccinated, he'll theoretically have a chance to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 protocol before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but that should be viewed as a long shot.

  • Gets nine carries

    Patterson took nine carries for 33 yards in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas, playing 25 percent of snaps on offense.

    Analysis: The rookie got five of his nine carries in the fourth quarter, though both he and Jonathan Williams subbed in for Antonio Gibson at times before the game got completely out of hand. Gibson is playing through a toe injury and may not be at his best, but he still managed 58 total yards and a TD on only 37 percent of snaps. Any limitations over the final two weeks would set up Patterson and Williams for larger roles.

    Patterson may be headed for a larger role in Washington's game plan Sunday in Dallas with lead back Antonio Gibson (toe) listed as questionable after not practicing in any capacity this week, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: According to Matthew Paras of The Washington Times, head coach Ron Rivera said Friday that Gibson is dealing with an injury similar to the case of turf toe that sidelined the running back for two games in 2020. While Rivera noted that Gibson feels better this time around compared to last season, Standig also relayed that the coach "wasn't oozing with optimism" about the 23-year-old's chances of playing.

    Analysis: With J.D. McKissic (concussion) sidelined once again, Patterson and Jonathan Williams operated as the primary backups to Antonio Gibson. Patterson and Williams both garnered four rushing attempts, and while the former was able to outgain the latter 29-16, Williams was able to add a touchdown to his ledger -- the only rushing score of the day for Washington. The two backups appear to be splitting the work behind Gibson, but neither running back will likely carry much fantasy potential heading…read more

  • No extra work sans McKissic

    Patterson took one carry for two yards in Sunday's 17-15 win over Las Vegas, playing four snaps on offense.

    Analysis: Patterson and Wendell Smallwood (five snaps, three touches) barely played behind Antonio Gibson, whose 82 percent snap share was easily a season high. It doesn't appear Patterson will get extra touches even if J.D. McKissic (concussion) misses more time, as the undrafted rookie has merely been used as Gibson's sub for early downs so far.

  • Quiet in limited role

    Patterson carried the ball seven times for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Patterson was on the field for 13 of Washington's 67 offensive snaps, operating as the No. 3 running back behind both Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. While Gibson and McKissic are healthy, the rookie will likely continue to see minimal work moving forward.

  • Gets four more carries

    Patterson took four carries for seven yards in a 29-19 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie played five snaps (seven percent) and took one carry in each of the game's four quarters. It was a smaller workload than what Patterson got directly before Washington's Week 9 bye, but that was in a 17-10 loss to Denver during which Antonio Gibson's shin injury flared up. While it could still be an issue again, Gibson managed 24 carries for 64 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's upset win, with no report of a setback along the way. That likely limits Patterson to a handful…read more

  • Leads team in rushing Sunday

    Patterson carried the ball 11 times for 46 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: His numbers were modest, but the rookie led Washington in rushing yards and saw exactly as many touches as both Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. Patterson's role figures to shrink again coming out of a Week 9 bye if Gibson, who has been playing through a shin injury, is back to 100 percent.

  • Takes two touches

    Patterson took one carry for five yards and caught his lone target for a loss of two yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Patterson got three touches Week 4 and four more Week 5, but it was J.D. McKissic who picked up the slack Sunday with Antonio Gibson bothered by his shin at times. McKissic finished with eight carries for 45 yards and a team-high eight catches for 65 yards, while Gibson managed 10 carries for 44 yards and two catches for no gain. Patterson was a distant third in usage, per usual, but he could split work with McKissic in Week 7 at Green Bay if Gibson is absent or limited.

  • Strictly playing special teams

    Patterson played 12 snaps on special teams in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Buffalo has four snaps on offense and 20 on special teams through the first two games of his pro career, operating as the No. 3 back in Washington behind Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. Any hope for a large role this season likely involves an injury to one of those two, but it is possible Washington could give Patterson a few more carries throughout the year if he continues to impress in practice. For the time being, he'll focus on special teams, continuing Week 3…read more

  • Makes team

    Patterson appears to have a spot on Washington's initial 53-man roster, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Buffalo is one of three running backs left on the roster after Peyton Barber was released Tuesday morning, though it is possible Washington re-signs Barber after cutdown day (and thus avoids guaranteeing his salary). Even if Barber is brought back, the willingness to risk losing him suggests Washington is comfortable with Patterson in the No. 3 role. The rookie likely won't match Barber's contributions as a blocker or coverage man on special teams, but Patterson…read more

  • Excels again

    Patterson had 16 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 25 yards in Friday's 17-13 preseason win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Buffalo is making his case to unseat Peyton Barber as Washington's No. 3 running back, adding another strong performance Friday after taking 10 carries for a team-high 40 yards and four catches for a team-high 30 yards in the preseason opener. Even if Barber sticks around for special teams and/or short-yardage work, Patterson might convince Washington to keep four running backs on the Week 1 roster. And, if nothing else, he'll have a shot to be signed by another team…read more

  • Gets 14 touches in NFL debut

    Patterson took 10 carries for 40 yards and caught three of four targets for 30 yards in Thursday's 22-13 preseason loss to New England.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Buffalo is competing with Lamar Miller, Peyton Barber and Jonathan Williams for one or two spots at RB behind roster locks Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. While Barber and Miller scored Washington's touchdowns Thursday night, Patterson was the only back on the team with more than 35 total yards. In terms of playing time, Gibson and McKissic handled the first quarter, followed by Barber early in the second quarter and then a busy drive for Patterson right before…read more
