The Washington Commanders held their second practice of a shortened week as they prepare to host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Christmas day. Marcus Mariota wasn’t at practice after getting stitches in his hand, and he’s also dealing with a quad injury from Saturday’s game against the Eagles. The Commanders claimed Jeff Driskel off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad yesterday, and he’ll likely be Josh Johnson’s backup against the Cowboys. Jayden Daniels continues to be a limited participant in practice after getting shut down when after he reaggravated his elbow dislocation.
Washington placed DT Eddie Goldman, G Sam Cosmi (concussion), and WR/PR Jaylin Lane (ankle) on injured reserve yesterday, and claimed two players. WR/PR Jamal Agnew was one of those players, but he was waived today with a failed physical. DT Shy Tuttle is cleared, but Washington will have to sign another player to the 53-man roster, and still needs a punt returner to replace Lane.
LB Nick Bellore (concussion), DT Daron Payne (back), and LT Laremy Tunsil (oblique) missed another practice, and are in danger of missing this week’s game. Tunsil hasn’t practiced or played since getting injured against the Giants two weeks ago, and could be another candidate to shut down for the season. Bellore and Payne are dealing with new injuries, likely from the Eagles game on Saturday.
