Washington Commanders

Back in 2012, Washington appeared to have a QB savior in Robert Griffin III, a dynamic Heisman winner who bested Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson to win NFL Rookie of the Year.
Then came the first quarter of a wild-card game against Seattle, when Griffin’s right knee buckled. Rather than putting in backup Kirk Cousins, coach Mike Shanahan stuck with the clearly compromised Griffin.
It was a brutal watch. The offense sputtered to just 41 yards en route to a loss. Worse, Griffin didn’t just...

The Washington Commanders ended their 2025 playoff hopes in disastrous fashion with an embarrassing primetime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday night. In addition to effectively being eliminated from playoff contention, they are now facing a multi-game absence for Jayden Daniels and injured reserve for Luke McCaffery and Marshon Lattimore. More importantly, the Commanders demonstrated they are completely unprepared and rudderless on both sides of the ball.
There is no question that this is the current low point for Washington football since Adam Peters came on board in January of 2024. However, with 8 games remaining on the schedule, the...

The first College Football Playoff rankings of the year have been released, creating some interesting storylines. Ohio State remains the top team despite struggling with Penn State in the first half before pulling away after halftime. Indiana sits right behind them. The Hoosiers had no trouble in College Park against the Terps. If both remain undefeated, they will collide in the Big Ten Championship Game. Undefeated Texas A&M comes in at #3 followed by one-loss SEC teams Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss. The Big 12 makes its appearance at #7 with undefeated BYU followed immediately by Texas Tech.

The Washington Commanders held their first practice of the week as they prepare to host the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Dan Quinn talked to reporters earlier, and discussed some of the injuries the team has been dealing with. CB Marshon Lattimore (ACL) and WR Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) were placed on IR yesterday, ending their seasons. Quinn said Mike Sainristil and Jonathan Jones would get more playing time with Lattimore done for the season.
QB Jayden Daniels’ second season has been filled with disappointment, and he’s now dealing with the third injury that will keep him off the field. He suffered...

The Washington Commanders are back on the practice field as they get ready to host the Detroit Lions at Northwest Stadium on Sunday. Dan Quinn spoke to reporters before practice, and was asked about Jayden Daniels’s elbow injury. He wasn’t placed on injured reserve yesterday when the team shut down CB Marshon Lattimore (ACL) and WR Luke McCaffrey (collarbone). The team will have a final medical meeting today, and Daniels could still be placed on IR, but they want to review the options and second opinions on the injury. Quinn said they should have a decision on his status in...

I would never expect the Washington Commanders to acknowledge the reality of their situation in the same way outsiders might. Still, the chances of turning the season around now are slim. Injuries have taken a toll on Washington’s on-field product and overall chemistry. Still, more importantly, they have been outclassed by various levels of competition in the NFL despite the injuries.
It’s a challenging situation to be in with eight games left in the season. Washington, and more importantly, Dan Quinn and his coordinators, must find sparks offensively and defensively that would allow them to hang their hat on down...

Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu won’t be suspended for repeated violations of the rule against hip-drop tackles, the NFL announced Tuesday night.
Luvu had appealed a ruling that he would be suspended one game, costing him a game check worth $508,333.
Derrick Brooks, jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFLPA, heard the appeal. But Luvu was fined $100,000.
Luvu will play vs. Detroit Sunday. The Commanders (3-6) have lost four consecutive games.
The NFL ruled that Luvu violated the policy again in Sunday night’s...

The Washington Commanders have reportedly made a few more roster moves as they continue to deal with more injuries. Wide receiver Treylon Burks was signed to the practice squad more than two weeks ago, but was elevated for the first time last week against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. It was a lopsided game that Washington lost 38-14. Burks played 33 snaps(51%) on offense and had 1 catch for 14 yards, and also played two snaps on special teams.
Burks is getting an opportunity due to injuries to Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin) who have missed...

The Washington Commanders are 3-6, and they’re on a four-game losing streak where they were blown out the last three games. QB Jayden Daniels suffered a bad elbow dislocation that will likely put him on the shelf for the rest of the year, and WR Terry McLaurin is still out after reaggravating a quad injury. There was some hope for the playoffs entering Sunday night’s game against the Seahawks, but those quickly ended after Seattle was up 28-0.
The NFL’s trade deadline is today at 4 p.m. There haven’t been a lot of rumors linked to Washington Commanders in the...
