Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson was placed on injured reserve on Thursday.
Gibson sat out last Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday due to foot and knee injuries. He sustained those injuries in the Commanders’ 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 24.
Washington (7-8-1) is eliminated from postseason contention. The Commanders conclude their season against the visiting Dallas Cowboys (12-4) on Sunday.
Gibson, 24, began the season as the team’s starting running back before rookie Brian Robinson assumed the role.
Gibson totaled 546 yards rushing and three touchdowns to go along with 46 catches for 353 yards and two scores in 15 games (six starts) this season.
Also on Thursday, the Commanders signed Jaret Patterson off the practice squad and added fellow running back Reggie Bonnafon to the practice squad.
Patterson, 23, appeared in two games as a temporary elevation this season. He had 68 carries for 266 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games last season
