Antonio Gibson (shin) sitting out Washington practice Wednesday
Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) did not practice on Wednesday.
It has become common for Gibson to be held out of practice at the beginning of the week and still play on Sunday, but there's added concern for Week 7 after the second-year back played just 23-of-59 offensive snaps last week and was held to fewer than 50 yards of offense for the first time this season. J.D. McKissic handled 16 touches and gained 110 yards with Gibson hobbled. Jaret Patterson barely played, but he would likely be more involved if Gibson were to miss Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
McKissic has finished as a top-15 running back option in three of the last five weeks, and he's drawn close to a 15% target share on a per-game basis. McKissic has a $5,700 salary on FanDuel in Week 7 and Patterson has a $5,300 salary.
