Hogs Haven Hogs Haven

The Washington Commanders held their third practice of a shortened week as they prepare to host the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow on Christmas day. Dan Quinn announced that Marcus Mariota wasn’t playing this week after getting stitches in his throwing hand, and also had a quad injury. Josh Johnson will get the start with newly re-signed Jeff Driskel backing him up.

Washington placed DT Eddie Goldman, G Sam Cosmi (concussion), and WR/PR Jaylin Lane (ankle) on injured reserve on Monday, and claimed two players. WR/PR Jamal Agnew was one of those players, but he was waived yesterday with a failed physical. DT Shy Tuttle is cleared, and Washington made more roster moves today.

Dan Quinn ruled out LB Nick Bellore (concussion), DT Daron Payne (back), and LT Laremy Tunsil (oblique) before practice. 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.
