Commanders vs Vikings Wednesday Injury Report: Noah Brown’s on track to be activated this week

The Washington Commanders held their first full practice of the week today. Dan Quinn gave injury updates before practice. Jayden Daniels isn’t cleared for contact, but will continue practicing as he works to return from a dislocated left elbow. He has missed the last three games due to the injury, and will miss another if he’s not cleared to practice fully this week.

Two players didn’t practice today due to injury, with another three getting their typical vet rest days. DE Drake Jackson is still on injured reserve for a patellar tendon injury that has kept him off the field since 2023. He has also been listed with a new groin injury since last Thursday. The Commanders opened his 21-day practice window to return from IR when the team was in Spain, and he could be running out of time to get activated, and play this season. Dan Quinn talked about him getting into football shape as he returns from an extended absence, but that could take him into next offseason.

Veteran LB Bobby Wagner didn’t practice today, and was listed with a new knee injury. Frankie Luvu has been listed with a shoulder injury since injuring it in Week 10 vs the Lions, but he’s played every game. He was listed as limited again today.

WR Noah Brown has been on Injured reserve since suffering a groin injury vs the Packers in Week 2. Dan Quinn was optimistic that he’ll be activated from IR this week, and return to play on Sunday. He was a full participant today, and had one full practice in last week on Thursday.

Long snapper Tyler Ott missed the Broncos game due to a back injury, but he was a full participant in today’s practice. The team signed Zach Triner to the practice squad and elevated him to play against the Broncos, but he’s already been released and Ott should play vs the Vikings.
