The Washington Commanders are disappointed after their 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2 that saw more losses than the game itself. Commanders defen

When the Washington Commanders used the No. 245 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Arizona Wildcats running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, not much was expected of the rookie.

Thursday night was the latest example, as Kraft took over under the lights at Lambeau Field with six receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown in a 27-18 rout of the Washington Commanders in front of 77,289.

The Washington Commanders released Emmanuel Forbes last December, less than two seasons after making him a first-round draft pick. Coach Dan Quinn said the cornerback already needed a change of scenery.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught passes. He lined up in the backfield. He helped block defensive ends, and he scored a touchdown running the ball. In other words, Samuel provided exactly what Washington anticipated it would get after the Commanders acquired him via trade from the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason.

Forbes Jr.'s tackling prowess has been the biggest improvement Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula saw in his game over the past year. Shula noted that Forbes "made a conscious effort" to get bigger and strong this offseason, and it's paid off already.

Here is everything you need to know about Packers vs. Commanders, including TV and streaming options for Thursday's game.

On the road for the first time since the NFC title game, Washington gave off the same outclassed vibes it did in losing to the Eagles.

That's massive praise from Quinn. While the head coach is often positive in discussing his players, he's sometimes guarded with praise in an attempt not to apply too much pressure. Coaches have praised Martin not only for his work on the field, but also for his work in the film room and as a leader.

McLaurin, who was set to become a free agent after the 2025 season, joined the Commanders as a third-round pick in 2019. Since then, six seasons later, he's led the team in receiving yards each year, including five straight 1,000-yard seasons.
