The Washington Commanders held their third, and final practice before they travel to New Jersey to take on the New York Giants on Sunday. Three players have been ruled out, and another two are questionable. Jayden Daniels was ruled out earlier in the week, and Dan Quinn said he’s still not cleared for contact. He was limited in practice this week, and the team will reassess him for the final three games of the season. He reaggravated the injury when he returned a month after the original elbow dislocation.
Drake Jackson also continues to sit out as he attempts to return from a patellar tendon injury from 2023. He was activated from IR last week, and has only had two limited practices since then.
Starting CB Jonathan Jones didn’t practice all week, and has been ruled out with a new rib injury. He returned from IR in Week 7, and has been a starter for the last four games. This leaves the team thin at CB for the Giants game, with only Mike Sainristil, Noah Igbinoghene, and Antonio Hamilton Sr healthy on the 53-man roster. They also have Tre Hawkins, Darius Rush, and Kevon Seymour available to elevate from the practice squad.
Two players are questionable for the Giants game. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr was limited the last two days with a new groin injury. Washington signed Chase Edmonds from the practice squad earlier this week, giving them another option if Rodriguez is limited, or can’t play on gameday.
Deebo Samuel is also questionable after missing today’s practice with an illness.
WR Noah Brown returned from IR last week, but will likely remain on the injury report for the rest of the season. He suffered a knee injury during June’s mandatory mini-camp, and then a groin injury during Week 2. Brown and Terry McLaurin both had planned rest days today.
