Commanders Roster Moves: Washington Claims Robert Henry Off Waivers

The Commanders have claimed running back Robert Henry Jr. off waivers, per the NFL transaction wire. The news is somewhat serendipitous, with Jeremy McNichols suffering a serious foot injury the day after Seattle let Henry go.

The undrafted rookie out of Texas-San Antonio was signed by the Commanders shortly after the NFL draft. He was a preseason star, with strong showings in several games. He was ultimately waived and then placed on the practice squad. The Seattle Seahawks signed him to their active roster on Oct. 6 and waived him on Monday, before their clash with the Chicago Bears.

The Commanders also waived sixth-round rookie Kaytron Allen, who was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins and is playing well for them.

Henry is a slasher who can create explosive plays, while his ball security and pass protection remains a work in progress. He should see snaps, however, considering he’s on the active roster behind Austin Ekeler and Rachaad White.

Was this a good move to bring Henry back? Let us know in the comments below:
