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.
