The Washington Commanders released veteran running back J.D. McKissic Tuesday. McKissic was released with a failed physical designation due to a neck injury he’s dealt with since late in the 2021 season.
McKissic’s time in Washington ends after three years, and it’s an unfortunate ending as he’s a terrific player. For Washington, McKissic often served as a third-down and change-of-pace back, a role in which he excelled. McKissic was an outstanding receiver and, despite his size, did his job in pass protection.
