The Washington Commanders were back on the practice fields for the final week of the season. They had a long break after hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas day and now they’re preparing for their last road game of the season. The Commanders visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and will either help their draft position, or hurt the Eagles playoff seeding.
Washington placed C Tyler Biadasz on injured reserve today, ending his season. He suffered ankle and knee injuries during the Xowboys game on Christmas day, but won’t require surgery. C/G Julian Good-Jones was signed from the practice squad for OL depth for the final game.
Dan Quinn said that Marcus Mariota was doubtful to play 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 likely backing him up again. Quinn hasn’t announced the backup officially. Laremy Tunsil is also likely to miss his third straight game with an oblique injury. Brandon Coleman will get another start at LT.
Daron Payne (back) and LB Nick Bellore (concussion) both missed the Cowboys game, but were full participants today. Payne and Bellore look on track to play in the season finale.
